[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?

Guess there's a couple options. I could just keep closer watch on everyone and everything in the general vicinity, but hell of a lot that'll do when I don't know what to look out for.

Or I could flat-out give up sleeping for a while, which is sounding pretty damn appealing right now.

Bear in mind that beyond a certain point of sleep deprivation, people have been known to suffer problems with concentration, loss of memory, and occasionally hallucinations.

I've pulled a fair amount of sleepless nights myself, but it's not something I'd encourage for long periods of time.

Yeah, yeah, I'm used to being human by now. I think I got a handle on all the limitations that come with it. Despite that, I think I'm willing to risk it.

I am not putting up with magic nightmare bullshit, especially not around here.

[Shame he can't remember how that whole mess with horrible nightmares and deathly illness ended last time. Ah, well. He must've just gotten over it, huh?]

[Magic amnesia's a pain, man. And for that matter so are faeries.]

[doitrockapella]

Under normal circumstances, I'd wish you sweet dreams. But I suppose this time it's more fitting to wish you luck in avoiding them altogether.

Hell, let's just hope it's not Shedinja Soul Buffet the Second. I like my soul right where it is, thanks.
