[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?

[ Looking back at it. ] I was re-arranging it.

[ WITH HER FEET. ]

[solas_ion]

Did you want some help with that?

[ex_cashcow493]

I want you to stop derailing the conversation.

[solas_ion]

I'm not derailing anything. We can talk and do other shit at the same time, you know.

[ex_cashcow493]

Did you really come down here to clean up my desk or did you have a different kind of 'shit' to do in mind?

[solas_ion]

Wh--no! It's nothing like that, don't be crazy!

[ex_cashcow493]

Nothing like what? [ Why is he suddenly acting this way? ]

[solas_ion]

Just...just nothing. Forget it, okay?

shakes do you want this eevee i just caught... if so what should i name it x(

[ex_cashcow493]

... No, I won't forget it. You are always telling me to do forget these remarks of yours, so I think this time I shall not.

maybe xC name it whatever you want doofus

[solas_ion]

I thought we were supposed to be talking about something else.

smacks... i caught it because you said on your plurk x(

[ex_cashcow493]

Then why not talk about it?

Dx ow

[solas_ion]

Look, have you been having any weird dreams lately?

don't be all OW at me now... X(

[ex_cashcow493]

No, Servants are incapable of dreaming. [ ... ]

Sometimes I dream about Shirou and Rin? [ AS IF IT'S NORMAL. ]

>:V

[solas_ion]

We're not exactly Servants anymore, though.

[Lancer shook his head at that, sighing.]

Probably not what I had in mind.

>:(

[ex_cashcow493]

What do you dream about, Lancer? [ Looking up towards him a bit too hopeful. ]

;-;

[solas_ion]

I don't, usually. But lately I've been having these weird nightmares that're kind of hard to describe.

.... >:|

[ex_cashcow493]

You have no dreams of spending time with close ones? [ Which means Saber is the weird one oh no. ]

;----;

[solas_ion]

I do enough of that when I'm awake.

... REVERSE CRIES ON YOU ;w;

[ex_cashcow493]

You do? [ Perking up. ]

noooo that's fighing dirty

[solas_ion]

Well...yeah. What of it?

;o;

[ex_cashcow493]

What is there to dream about for you while you are here? A place away from your son, all that you have known and not only that, it has outlawed combat between human civilians... I just always suspected this place had left you bored out of your mind.

/shoves cookies in your face

[solas_ion]

[wow saber did you have to play the dead kid card]

...Fine, I guess it ain't exactly paradise. I've gotten used to it by now, but even so it isn't like I don't have my share of things I miss a little.

/affection level does not rise

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Can't they just lament over being shitty dads together??? ]

If you insist.

... So these dreams?

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo

[solas_ion]

I don't know. I can't really recall most of the specific details--I'm pretty sure Liath Macha and Olldóiteán were involved, which is a little worrying.

get back to grinding head it

[ex_cashcow493]

Your Pokemon? [ Frowning. ]

Is that not normal?
