[Lancer never, ever, ever dismissed dreams as nothing. Few understood as well as Cú Chulainn just how real dreams and nightmares could be. They could hurt, and not just emotionally. Once had seemed a warning, and now twice was striking him as a blaring sign of Bad Things To Come.]
[Scowling, he'd left his room at the breeding center and made his way to the roof--never mind how he got up there. (Trees were involved.) It was easier to think when he was off the ground, for whatever reason. Some holdover from his scouting duty as a Servant, maybe. Who cared? The point was that his head was a jumbled mess of things and he couldn't determine the cause or reasoning. When was the last time he'd even had a nightmare to begin with?]
[Even at this ungodly hour, he knew full well somebody was likely to still be awake. Johto and its inhabitants were weird like that. Sitting on the edge of the roof with no thought to the height, Lancer took his Pokegear from his pocket and typed a quick message.]
I'm starting to think some weird shit might be going on around here. Anyone else get that feeling?

And just about everything you see in this place. People would recommend me their best psychiatrists if I told them about any of this.

Gotta admit, what I'd guess passes for normal with people seems downright boring to me. What do you people do if you're not practicing magic or running around with a team of flaming horses?

We try to be creative about it.

I don't know. It has its moments. Not the kind of thing you see here you but you won't be completely bored.
