[ She'd woken up with the dream weighing heavily on her mind. While it might be nothing, it could also be something, and she doesn't want to take risks, especially with everything she's experienced here. So... ]

Hi, everyone. It's Mira, and I recently had a dream that I've been kind of worried about. It's probably nothing, but in case it turns out to be something that might happen, I can't just keep it to myself.

I don't really remember a lot, but I do remember... fire. Lots of people screaming. And something that smelled like-- [ lord, she hates this, and the hesitation is painfully obvious ] --cooking meat. It didn't feel like the storytelling, and it felt real, especially for a dream.

[ The cooking meat bit couldn't be burning flesh. Definitely not. ]

... I know that's not a lot to go off of, but it felt important enough to share, especially with any new islands that might appear.

( ooc; threadjacking is totally encouraged! )

Gladio once told me about a dream he had that is unsettlingly similar in some respects. In it people were very quickly fleeing an island that was either exploding or collapsing for some reason. There was much screaming in it as well. I sincerely hope that the two dreams are not connected.

[Especially with the smell she mentioned. Oh, just the thought of it makes him want to be sick. Few things can cause such violent devastation and he doesn't want first hand experience with any of them]

Are you doing all right, darling? Shall I bring you something to eat while you settle back in?

A... volcanic island, maybe? It didn't seem like a volcano, but I'm not really sure.

[ ... hm. ]

Settle back in? I didn't go anywhere, I don't think...

[shatteredlenses]

Old volcanoes sometimes cause the islands that spring up around them to collapse once the magma chamber has become empty, but a collapse like that wouldn't explain the fire you saw.

[His tone suddenly softens and grows sadder.]

You've not been around for a couple weeks. I was worried.

[ Oh.... he was worried? ]

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to worry you.

[shatteredlenses]

It's not your fault. After all, you can't control the whims of this place anymore than the rest of us can. I'm just glad it let you come back.

[Unlike a steadily growing list of others.]

[ ... oof. Mira bites her lip. ]

Is it okay if I come over?

[shatteredlenses]

Of course, my dear. You're always welcome here. Shall I expect you in a few minutes?
