[walkabout] it's totally not abusing any powers if it's for the good of the community, right?

[She's bored. Once the novelty of his has faded, Sunday is just stiff and boring and without much that she could do that's fun.

So she has a plan to spice things up a bit.]

I'm going to give the natives prophetic dreams.

What should they see?

You can give people dreams? Just how much control over that do you got?

[So long as they're the right kind of dream, this might actually be useful in changing the natives' perspectives on things.]

[runs]

Full control. I can just insert something small or change them around a lot, depending on what works better.

[She could dive into the specific circumstances under which she wouldn't, but in that case she's just going to step away and come back later or move on to the next person. It shouldn't really happen, anyway. She's good at dream stuff.]

Anything to make 'em stop thinking sin is the worst thing in the world, and their stupid books are right about everything... I'd be happy with those. ... gotta admit, I ain't too sure how you'd do that.

[Dreams and metaphors are not his forte. He's a very smart man... but he's also a pretty literal and straight-forward one.]

....I could probably come up with something to tell them that their books aren't right.

How'd you tell someone that "sin isn't the worst thing in the world"?

[itsananimalthing]

Maybe a dream of them doin' something little that they might consider a sin, but bein' praised or blessed or whatever for doing it? I dunno, like not washing their hands, or showing off some cool shit they made.

[He already said he's not good at this.]

...I'll think on it.

[She doubts that any of this will strictly work, but maybe she can adapt it or twist it around somehow... she'll have to see what people's dreams offer her, too. Maybe find someone who dreams a lot about getting punished for doing things...

At least Liminal is a very safe place to start from when going into dreams.]

[itsananimalthing]

You do that.

[He considers asking how she's doing this, but in the end decides he doesn't need to know. He does ask, instead:]

Is there anything that can keep you out of somebody's dreams?

[Because he doesn't want her messing with his.]

[runs]

Nope.

[Nothing reliable that she knows of, anyway - nothing that is a measure in itself and doesn't involve her personally.]

Only asking nicely.

[itsananimalthing]

Uh-huh.

[He's half-sure psychic protections might help keep her out, but he doesn't know. Looks like he's going to be paying close attention to his dreams for a while.

Because when the cat-child tells him to "ask nicely", the contrarian in him most certainly ins't going to do that.]

[...She might be taking this as a challenge too.

If she doesn't get distracted first, which isn't unlikely.]
