Our powers don't change unless we Port out, right?

Have any of you had something strange happen when you dreamed lately?

Comments

[stlg13bomber]

No, but my house got set on fire so I haven't really had a chance to get good sleep yet.

So this ISN'T supposed to be happening?

[a_good]

Are you alright?

[stlg13bomber]

I'm fine. I'm fireproof now, actually. But the house wasn't having a great day.

[a_good]

I'm glad you're okay, at least!

Do you have somewhere to stay?

[stlg13bomber]

Yes, I'm staying with Captain Poe. He's been very hospitable!

[a_good]

Oh, that's a relief!

To answer your question - this isn't supposed to be happening, but things that aren't supposed to happen occur at least once a month, most of the time.

[stlg13bomber]

That sounds pretty inconvenient. But I'm kinda used to strange things happening, so I think I'll get used to it eventually.

[a_good]

Some of it gets more predictable the longer you're here. Be careful about events on the moon.

[craftpunk]

Or if someone gives you a new powers.

It happens, from time to time.

[Oh, he remembers you from the news last year.]

That's not a confession, is it?

text;

[craftpunk]

A confession of what, precisely?

[ let's play innocent bonanza! ]

text;

[a_good]

Giving people new powers.

[lesterzeppelin]

I have strange dreams all the time, tbh.

As for your powers, it's entirely possible you're unlocking a new aspect of it.

[a_good]

It wasn't the dream that was strange, it was something that happened afterwards.

Wouldn't the capability for that have been in our file? Or can the government not know about it too?

text »

[lesterzeppelin]

Oh. Did something appear out of nowhere?
(It's been happening to a lot of people I know.)

I don't know. My file was vague about my power, which makes me think the government isn't as omniscient as we like to think.

[a_good]

Yeah. Something that doesn't exist in this world, as far as I've seen. So it HAS happened to other people?

That's a good point. They don't know much about the Porter themselves, after all.

text »

[lesterzeppelin]

Yeah. Looks like nothing serious so far.

I'm willing to bet someone else's power went haywire, tbh.
BUT I wouldn't rule out your own powers growing, depending on what they are.

[a_good]

Like when we blurted things out to everyone else? That would make sense.

One of my powers is "mental projection," but it's only supposed to work from me to other people. If it was just me having something appear, it could be an extension of that. But if it's affecting other people too it's probably someone else's power. Or the OTO.

[lesterzeppelin]

Let's hope it's not the OTO. :(
I don't want to think they've got power over our dreams.

Have you noticed anything else strange?
Like new people popping up in your dreams?

text »

[a_good]

I'm not certain they'd do it deliberately, but it seems like something that could be a side effect of their trying to mess with things between worlds.

I haven't noticed that. Has it happened to other people?

text »

[lesterzeppelin]

It's been happening to me. I've been in other people's dreams a few times.
I know they're not mine because I never recognize where I am.

text »

[a_good]

Are your dreams always about someplace you recognize?

text »

[lesterzeppelin]

Not always, but they feel familiar.
Every time I'm in someone else's dream, it feels like I'm intruding.

[ . . . because he usually is. ]

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

Don't worry. Your powers haven't changed; the dreams are happening to everyone.

[Text]

[a_good]

What do you mean?

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

Exactly what I said. Unless you are experiencing something else besides weird dreams?

[Text]

[a_good]

Like the dreams seeming to cause something to appear.

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

That sounds a bit different from what I experienced. What appeared?

[Text]

[a_good]

A flower.

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

Is that flower...dangerous?

[Text]

[a_good]

No. [It's the creatures that grow it that are dangerous.] But I don't think it exists in this world.

Did something dangerous happen in your dream?

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

Would you mind me coming to look at it?

Actually, most of my dreams were good. For once. [Which made the whole experience sadder.]

[Text]

[a_good]

[He's not opposed to the idea, but-]

You think you'd be able to tell something from it?

[Text]

[prophesiedone]

I don't know, but we can study it and take note of it.

[Text]

[a_good]

[He considers this for a few moments. There's no reason to trust this man, but there's no reason not to either. If they could find out more about what's happening...it'd be worth it.]

Alright. I live in De Chima number 2.

[Text] -> [Action]

[prophesiedone]

I'll be over in twenty minutes.

[He is prompt - Anakin doesn't like being late if he can help it. Knocking on the door to number 2, he waits, tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. The weather calls for short sleeves, but that is awkward with his mechno-arm.]

[pocketfulof]

i've been lucky but...yeah they probably shouldn't be changing. anything serious?

[a_good]

Something from a dream appeared in my room.

[pocketfulof]

that could have to do with all the weird stuff going on right now but...what exactly appeared in your room?

[a_good]

It seems there's a lot going on with dreams.

A flower from my world.
