i think i woke myself up from inside my dream again.

it's really annoying.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Are you alright?

text;

[me_first]

[There's a long pause.]

i'll be ok

they're just dreams

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

[He gets a return pause that's almost as long.]

Want to talk about it?

text;

[me_first]

it's just more of the same. cloudbank decaying. buildings falling. endless silence.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

I dream about Sybil sometimes.

text;

[me_first]

before? or after?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

After. When she was processed.

text;

[me_first]

i see.

do you want to stay here another day or should we move on tomorrow?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Tomorrow seems fine. Back to Violet? You never went to that Gym, did you?

text;

[me_first]

sounds good to me. and no i didn't. i think we might need to train a little more.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

I suppose it wouldn't be a challenge if they could be beaten easily.

text;

[me_first]

of course not. but it's good to have something to aim for!

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

It keeps us busy if nothing else.

text;

[me_first]

it's not like we have something else to do.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

I guess that's one thing in this place's favor. There's things to do.

text;

[me_first]

are you going to do it too?

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

Might as well, right?

text;

[me_first]

right!

but you should probably go back to sleep now.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

How about you?

text;

[me_first]

you shouldn't worry about me so much.

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

I'll worry about whoever I want to worry about.

text;

[me_first]

even someone you could likely blame for the destruction of everyone and everything you care about.

[It's one of those nights.]

text;

[ladywithnovoice]

[And Royce, guess what?]

[You're getting a high heeled shoe thrown at you from across the way.]

[...And a text immediately after.]

What's hating you going to do for me!?

text;

[me_first]

[Ow. That was his head. He tosses it back underhand.]

i dont' know
