[ 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! )

Well, we're probably all going to die. Hardly anything new around here.

[antepone]

I'd rather not if I can avoid it. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[scourgingstars]

Oh, come now, has anything good ever actually happened when we're sent off on a divine errand gallivanting towards some new island? Better to be forewarned than actually expect things to change for the better.

[antepone]

That's... true. And at least we know to stay away from very large fires.

[ It's... it's supposed to be a joke but boy, it falls pretty flat. ]

[shatteredlenses]

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?

[journalname]

Oh, dear. Do you have prophetic dreams?

[That seems like it should be a sarcastic question, but he sounds completely earnest. What does he know, that could be a thing.]

[scourgingstars]

Regrettably, can't always be helped.

[antepone]

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...

[antepone]

No, not really... but my dreams have never felt like this.

[journalname]

I...

[Hm. That sparks a memory.]

I recall I had a strange dream when I returned here after being absent, some time back. It did not involve fire or anything like that, but it was...offputting. [He also kinda doesn't want to describe it.]

[postictal]

People get dreams sometimes. When they disappear and come back.

[It's happened to people he knows, but...not to him. That's probably a good thing. He doesn't want more dark shapes and unknown memories plaguing his nightmares. He has a surplus of those already.]

[tokenflavortownie]

Mira? Oh, thank goodness. [You kind of disappeared???]

...That's, uh, quite the dream. I would probably call that a nightmare.

[crosslaced]

We've had prophetic dreams. Someone dreamed about the- [the sun dying, but he realises the event was a whole year ago and he's not sure if Mira will know of it.] he predicted an event last year. Bad dream, bad thing happens in real life.

[everylittlesecret]

Mia, where the hell have you been?

[Seriously! Someone has been more than a little worried!]

[antepone]

.... It's a terrible way of greeting someone after they return.

[antepone]

I didn't mean to worry anyone.

[ She pauses. ]

... It was awful, Pyrrha. There were so many people screaming.

[antepone]

I don't know. I'm so sorry, Nari.

[ like it's her fault..... ]

[everylittlesecret]

I was gonna take you along to go explore, but I couldn't find you...

[At least she didn't die.]

[postictal]

Are you aware that you did? Disappear, I mean.

[Tim wasn't, but he was pretty busy with patching things after the earthquake.]

[...that feels bad to think.]

[antepone]

No. But... I'm not sure if that's much better.

[antepone]

... You were?

[antepone]

I'm sorry. If it was anything like mine... it must have been awful.

... but do you know if your dream ever came true?

[postictal]

You don't know how long you were gone?

[Well, shit. Neither does Tim.]

What's...the last thing you remember before waking up here again? Aside from the dream.

[antepone]

[ Hm, bad. ]

So... it really might mean something.

[everylittlesecret]

Well, yeah. You know this place. I don't visit areas I am unfamiliar with without research. Went anyways and found nothing useful except talking rocks.
