[details]

Well. That was certainly rousing, wasn't it? One can never really quite know what to expect. On the other hand, at least some of the bigger picture is finally known. [There was a bit of a pause as he took a sip from a cup of coffee.] I do hope that everyone is well.

Perhaps now there will be a bit of a calm since those do tend to be nice before the next big storm.

I wouldn't mind if the next storm has given us as much insight as this one has.

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

The information received was quite enlightening, yes. I wouldn't mind to learn more, but certainly not under such... circumstances as it turned out to be.

[cutsyourtoes.livejournal.com]

But that would make things boring.

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

But too much "action" also has the potential to become boring if it's the norm.

[cutsyourtoes.livejournal.com]

Would "as long as they keep things interesting enough" be a better way to phrase it?

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

It would be but then one would have to wonder what the upper limits would become.

[cutsyourtoes.livejournal.com]

Sometimes you do have to push the limits on a subject when it comes to experiments.

[buildingreality]

Did you figure anything out?

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

I've figured out that pumpkin cappuccinos are a bit overrated.

[buildingreality]

I meant about the dreamscape.

[then she frowns slightly.] Why are they overrated?

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

Actually I've learned that I'm quite interested in learning more about Nitiri now. Why did she do what she did? What's her driving force? Also? Injuries still hurt. That hasn't changed.

[On the other hand, his deals with the cappuccino could also have been just a bad day.] It was a bit too artificial for my taste. However, it's only based on a very small sampling pool of one.

[buildingreality]

[she glances away, jotting down questions on a notebook unseen: she doesn't have answers just yet, but that doesn't mean she won't.] I tried to help. It's harder from the outside.

Have you tried just making one yourself?

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

[It's also hard to know what to expect when one is thrown into such a thing without any preparation so at least he can understand.] You did wonderfully. Especially since there was no warning or time to prepare.

It's somewhere on my 'to-do' list. I've been occupying a lot of my free time with teaching, actually. [It keeps him out of trouble.]

[buildingreality]

[it's true. Which is why they just need to cover everything, and be prepared for every possible turn of events. Why is this easier with Cobb..?

[She offers him a small smile.] So it got to you. I was starting to wonder if nothing you taught me before would ever come in handy here.

Teaching what?

[vodkas]

Eh? Did I miss something important?

[Gotta love those sleep comas.]

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

It would seem you did. Sylvani gave people a chance to see what had happened in the past via a dreamscape and the "nightmare lady", herself, showed up and highjacked the dreamscape. People were stuck there for days.

[vodkas]

Oh.

[Interesting, but Russia isn't too heartbroken about missing it.]

How did that work out?

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

[It was mostly just background information so if one didn't care about such things, he could understand there not being much disappointment with being there.]

Oh. Everyone's alive still. If they died in the dreamscape, they simply woke up here once more. The usual sort of thing applied. In the case of Nitiri, she was pushed back with a promise to return again. So one can only assume she'll show up sooner or later and try for evil again.

On the other hand, that would also depend upon one's definition of 'evil' since we only really know things from the side of Sylvani thus far.

[vodkas]

Truths behind stories are never so simple. Is Nitiri "nightmare lady"? She must have her own reasons for what she does. We should ask her sometime.

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

That would be her name, yes. It was revealed earlier as well. I do hope we get to learn a bit from her side sometime. After all, you are right. Everyone has their own reasons for doing waht they do. Only knowing one side biases any picture.

[vodkas]

History is written by victors, da? Sylvani may not be innocent as she seems.

[gesangvoll]

With any luck there will be a bit of calm, yes. I daresay some of us need it now more than ever. [not that Austria was one of the people that probably needed the calm, but. It would be nice regardless.]

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

The calm is rather nice. There's more of a chance to get things done without worrying about things.

[gesangvoll]

Precisely. Though Somarium does have a tendency to have some sort of strange happenings around the end of October, I've noticed, so whether this calm lasts for some time or not, I'm unable to say.

[defyantigravity.livejournal.com]

I suppose it does seem fitting, given that the place has scarecrows pretty much year-round from what I've seen. Whatever happens, though, I do hope it's not as disruptive as the latest events tended to be.
