[ Sarah is sprawled out on the couch in her apartment, holding onto a beer, and the communicator seems to be set up on the coffee table. She takes a drink before she says anything, closing her eyes briefly, and then looks askance at the camera. ]

So has anyone else been having bloody weird dreams the past couple days?

Were you a kid?

[Chloe is standing in the doorway to her room, leaning her shoulder against the doorframe and looking at her phone.]

action;

[coppelganger]

Yeah. I was.

[ Sarah looks sideways at Chloe, but doesn't move from the couch. ]

action;

[helladoomed]

Pretty sure they weren't dreams.

[She walks over and holds out her phone, which has a picture of Kid Sarah and Kid Chloe on the screen.]

[George sits down on the floor, his eyes level with Sarah's.]

Understatement of the century.

[coppelganger]

[ Wow! Suddenly she's really uncomfortable. ]

Oh, fuck.

action;

[coppelganger]

Really hoping we were drugged by the Russians. Otherwise I'm gonna have to call half my contact list to apologize.

[puppydoctor]

[He can't help but smile just a little.]

You weren't that bad.

Weird dreams?

[ Oh hey, it's one of the girls who is Not-Cosima. Strangely enough, one of Gansey's dreams had involved her.

Or one of her sisters. Maybe. It's all very unclear. ]

Now that you mention it, yes. You're sure you were dreaming, are you?

Because if I was, I must have taken my comm in with me.

action;

[helladoomed]

Yeah. [She makes a face as she stuffs her phone in her pocket.]

Reaaaally didn't need a reminder of what a little dork I used to be.

[coppelganger]

[ She raises an eyebrow, smiling back. ]

Right.

video;

[coppelganger]

Yeah. Something like dreams, anyway.

video;

[doubleblind]

Finally. Do you know how hard it was to explain all this to a teenaged you?

video;

[coppelganger]

Yeah, see... I'm trying to give everyone an out, here.

[ She means herself. She is trying to give herself an out. ]

action;

[coppelganger]

Ah, come on. You were cute. Not like me.

video;

[coppelganger]

Yeah, Cos, I was there.

[puppydoctor]

I mean it. You were cute - when you weren't being a little scary.

action;

[helladoomed]

I was pretty cute, wasn't I. [Chloe snickers as she walks around to flop down on the couch next to her.] I bet my dad would've been chasing the boys away if he hadn't...

[She hesitates, then shrugs.]

Anyway. Not a dream. Some weird ass universe thing probably.

[quaerit]

Was it that bad?

[ Yes, it was that bad. How many people saw him that way? That's all he can think of.

Along with wondering how many of them remember more than a dream. ]

An out only works if everyone plays. We weren't all affected, from what I can tell.

video;

[doubleblind]

Oh, so you're not claiming it as a "dream" anymore?

[radioclub_jp]

[Well, that's... not very specific.]

Like good dreams, or bad dreams?

[coppelganger]

I think I almost beat the shit out of Skye...

[ And then she sits up, eyes wide, like she's just remembered something, which she has. ]

Oh, god, I need to call my sister.

action;

[coppelganger]

[ Sarah moves her legs so Chloe can have some room. ]

You're right. At least it was temporary.

video;

[coppelganger]

No, we definitely weren't all affected. That's the worst part.

video;

[quaerit]

[ Yep. That's a tone with which he sympathizes. ]

So, out of interest. You got younger?
