Any Ghost Hunt players out there? Or people interested in Somarium?

[dressedinblack]

What do you think you are doing? Have I not been clear enough in my efforts to fix the dream gate and return where I belong? It is unfortunate enough that Mai was drawn into Hypnosia, but to request that others from my world be sent as well is irresponsible and dangerous. This past full moon was harsh enough. I cannot be responsible for more people than I already am. The others should not have to be caught up in the problems yet to come, so refrain from encouraging others to join if you please...

I was...what?

[dressedinblack]

Mai.

[He remembers you, Mai. He also recalls that at the same time another you was brought to Hypnosia from a very frightening time in your life.]

Do you really want me to try explaining?

[brokethecamera]

Of course I do. It's me we're talking about, after all.

[dressedinblack]

Very well then. I suppose you want me to break down the multiverse theory for you in as many small words as I can then?

[He's still huffed at his mun right now, so he's being a bit more of an ass then usual...]

[brokethecamera]

[She frowns because he's talking down to her again.]

Not really. I don't know about many theories, but I've been connected to the multiverse for a while now.

[dressedinblack]

Have you met yourself then? From another time in another world?

[Yup. He asked. He could make the Multiverse theory sound even more complex if you let him, Mai.]

[brokethecamera]

I've seen another me around, yes.

[She still thinks it's super weird, but she's seen it.]

[dressedinblack]

What if they came from your past? What would you do? Would you try to warn them of things to come? Would you try to shield them from their own mistakes?

[The Mai that was brought to Hypnosia had him considering these questions, a lot. It was all he could do to try protecting her from the nightmares of Somarium. He doesn't need to worry about the rest of his colleagues getting mixed up in things as well... Now, he realizes that he's letting his frustrations out on you, Mai, and he feeling a little bad. Cue the grumpy face, now.]

[brokethecamera]

[Funny you should mention that...

She doesn't look all that cross with him.]

Well...I guess I'd figure that out if the time ever came. Which, it actually might be. Now.

[She looks like she's considering something before she looks back at him.]

How old do you think I am, Naru?

[dressedinblack]

Mai... We have covered this before. You are from a time further in my future. I made the connection, thanks to you, that I did not perish at the cape as I had originally believe. My mundane was none too pleased, but there was little they could do about it.

I asked you about yourself though. The version of you in Hypnosia with me now was drawn into Somarium during your dream in Urado's mansion. She had not even woken from it when she arrived.

[brokethecamera]

[She frowns.]

But it's even farther now...

That's...that's a terrible time to bring me anywhere!? What was her mun thinking????

[dressedinblack]

I cannot fathom a reason either. I can only guess they were fascinated by the dream itself, as Hypnosia is a world that is powered by the energy given off of dreams. Nightmares possess the most powerful and dangerous energy from the research I have collected.

[brokethecamera]

[Mai touches at her neck. Even now she can remember it all so vividly.]

Did it have any affect, then?

[dressedinblack]

It was posted to the network, so it's energy was taken into the reserves of Somarium. Fortunately, I do not live far from where... you arrived, but I saw the dream.

[He had jumped from his desk at the cottage and run your side, Mai. Seeing that dream, it brought back his own worst nightmare he had lived through. It was a burden to be a psychic enough, but your own burden seem to increase more and more with every case. He wished things could be easier for you, but that was wishful thinking...]

[brokethecamera]

Well, I'm sure it helped to see you there.

[She smiled. She knew it meant a lot when he had been there after her own time with that nightmare.]

[dressedinblack]

I would rather you not face the dangers in this world though. We could walk away from a case, should the danger be too high, but when you're trapped in a dreamfield, anything can happen.

[Oh, Mukuro Rokudo was going to get fried if he tried to hurt you again...!]

[Sadly, not a castmate, but applying to Somarium!]

[harmonicmotion]

... so, the uneasy feeling I had regarding that "game" was not baseless after all.

Awesome! I'm making a poor attempt at enabling cause I suck at it...

[dressedinblack]

That would depend on whether your unease was for personal reasons or genuine, precognitive self-preservation.

[Please excuse the irritable intellectual. He's displeased with his mun at the moment...]

It's okay! I think it's taken for granted that if you post a rare-canon char, it'll draw the others

[harmonicmotion]

The latter, mostly. But couldn't you likewise claim that that that it's simply a different expression of the former?

I got like two GH people in my last DM post, so I'm hoping to draw out some more...

[dressedinblack]

Not in my line of work.

[He's psychic researcher, so he sees a big difference in personal reasoning and ESP...]

[Ooh, good luck!]

[harmonicmotion]

And what matter of work is that?

Thank you! 07
