[Jaunt Week 1] [End of Week]

[helborn]

I... I had one of those dreams again. The warning dreams... focus on something else if you can't deal with stuff right now. It's... it's bad.


It was morning... I could smell food, but it was quiet. Someone was slumped over a mortar as I walked down the street. I touched them and they fell over - warm, but dead. Another body in the street, and another. They all had small wounds in the back of their necks, like... a needle, maybe.

A whole bunch of people were near the bay - they looked like they were running from something. Someone was defending some kids. Someone looked like they were fighting whatever it was off. Two people were huddled together as they died. And two people were being dragged across the sand towards a big square machine that looked like a trash compactor.


I... I don't know what to do...

Please tell me you're okay... and tell me if you've seen Acantha, Sara, or Sprout recently. I... I need to make sure they're okay, too.

I should be at the top of anyone's list when weird technology rolls around, I'd think.

[thornsofmalkav]

Given how bullshit karate bugman tech usually is? Yes.

[carbonatedscientist]

Hey, it's grounded in very firm science.

...and a strange artifact from Mars, but, well, there's still science backing it up.

[thornsofmalkav]

So it's mad science, then.

[carbonatedscientist]

You make it sound so ominous.

[thornsofmalkav]

Mad science is fun science, Sento.

[carbonatedscientist]

It just sounds so ominous, like there's a branding issue there.

[thornsofmalkav]

It doesn't sound ominous to me at all.

[carbonatedscientist]

When all this is over and we're no longer concerned with matters of life and death, I propose we poll everyone to see which of us shares the popular opinion.

[Mostly because he thinks the idea's funny, and goodness knows they could use a little levity right now.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Excellent.
