Hey, those necklaces the dragon was hoarding, the ones with the creepy heart and bloody veins? I think they give you good dreams. Or cure nightmares, same difference. Not sure what the catch is yet, if there is one, but I'm betting I'm not the only one who could use it.

[Short, sweet and to the point!]

The 'catch' is the part I'm worried about. You haven't started pissing yourself during the daytime or anything like that, have you?

[vagabone]

[Wow how dare you!!]

No! No, that's disgusting! Geugh. You think I wouldn't consider that a 'catch' if I started pissing somehow? I'm not that big an idiot, come on.

[a_shadow]

I suppose you'll have to excuse me if I use you as a guinea pig for a while before I try it myself.

[vagabone]

...Eh, that's fine with me. I've had it a few days, I don't feel any different.

[a_shadow]

Hm. Well. I think those of you who have been here longer have gotten way too comfortable with using the island's 'magic'.

[vagabone]

Hey now, we don't exactly have much of a choice. Half the crazy stuff that happens has nothing to do with anything we've done.

[demonpuppy]

Why would it have to have a catch?

[vagabone]

Seems a little too good to be true, considering the way things go for us usually. But I've been wearing it for a few nights and I feel fine.

[demonpuppy]

Well, yeah. You'd know if it was a cursed charm pretty quick.

[Don't people know anything about magic around here?]

[Don't answer that.]

Besides, who would make a charm that does one good thing and one bad thing? That's just stupid.

[vagabone]

[N o p e.]

Who knows? You've been here a while, kid, I'm sure you've noticed all the things that don't work the way they should. Better to be careful.

[demonpuppy]

[GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE]

It's dumb. Gravity and stuff still works the same, why's magic so different?

[vagabone]

Beats me. Probably because we need gravity to be the same more than we need magic.

...Wait, can you actually do magic, kid?

WHILE AWAKE
OR ONLY ASLEEP

[vagabone]

Asleep. Can't say I've ever had day... nightmares?

[hyperlit]

BAD VISIONS

[That's a "hallucination," actually.]

[vagabone]

It's worth a shot. I don't have visions, I can't tell you. 🥺

[hyperlit]

WHAT DOES
FACE MEAN

[vagabone]

I'm not sure about that either

I just like the faces. Huge selection. ☠️🦴🧣🇲🇽💀

A necklace that wards off nightmares... That's pretty useful.

[vagabone]

I know, isn't it? Best I've slept since I came to the island. I didn't think to grab more than one...

[reflash]

I don't know much about the magic here, but there might not be a catch at all.

[vagabone]

Maybe not.

[A few clacks come through the stone, he has a noisy shrug.] But most things aren't this easy where we are.

[reflash]

What kind of catch would you be anticipating?

[vagabone]

Who knows with this place? Could be anything from six months of nightmares in one night to waking up as a giant cockroach or something else disgusting.

[Go on, prove him wrong.]

[reflash]

Does that happen a lot here? Where was was last, exposure to fae magic would just... make you grow a tail or wings or turn unusual colors. [which... explains Yukio's whole... everything.]
