[Julie looks tired, and grouchy, and she sounds grouchy too.]

So, is this normal? I mean, it's not normal, obviously, but should I be expecting more of this crap while I'm stuck here?

[She rubs under one of her eyes, where lack of sleep is already making shadows.]

Give me a zombie apocalypse any day.

Happened once before. More than a year ago. Preferred the zombies too.

( Thanks Kate. )

At least zombies are predictable, right?

[dedikated]

Were pretty slow, too.

While I agree this dream nonsense is quite troublesome, surely this place is more normal than a zombie apocalypse...?

[redwinekindofgirl]

When you live with something for long enough, it starts to get close to normal.

[She was only young when the outbreak started - barely time to know anything else.]

[wantsnudes]

You're serious? [He thought things like that only happened in movies...] I'm sorry. Coming from such circumstances must be terrible.

[knifecollecting]

I'd rather the zombies didn't come back. [She has a gun now, so it would be easier, but still.]

Video

[redwinekindofgirl]

Wait, you've had zombies here, too? When?

[Julie would feel far more comfortable with a gun, zombies or no zombies.]

Re: Video

[knifecollecting]

Uh, a while ago. [Jo tries to keep count, but she's still fuzzy on actual timelines here now.]

Too?

[storyseeker]

Honestly? Yeah. Maybe not this specifically, but inexplicable things that apparently happen to mess with us.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Aren't there rules against that sort of thing? Cruel and unusual punishment or something? Or do they not count in this freaky place?

[storyseeker]

I think they make the rules. Or at least they get to beak them as much as they want.

[ How about no one talk about zombie apocalypses... ]

It's Hadriel-normal, unfortunately. Are you okay?

video;

[redwinekindofgirl]

[No one's actually asked her if she's okay - not since she got here, really - so the question gives her pause.]

I... guess? I'm alive, and not being attacked by possessed trees. That's a kind of okay.

Re: video;

[braveoff]

Physically okay, sure. Having people traipse around in your dreams and memories is rough, though, I wouldn't blame you for not being okay with that. I'm sure not.

Did you just get here?

[voice]

[circumitus]

Dealt with zombies here already. Have to say, am not a fan.

[Much as the dreams do suck.]

[voice]

[redwinekindofgirl]

Been dealing with them for years back home. I'd take that over my head being messed with.

[voice]

[circumitus]

[LE SHRUG]

Fair enough. Sorry to say that pretty much every option is going to suck, unfortunately.

[ Cashmere is not expecting to see - herself? not much catches her off guard anymore but seeing Julie is one of those things. she's confused, angry, and afraid all at once. after taking a second to recover from the shock, her expression hardens into a glare. ]

Who are you? [ MAYBE SHE WAS RIGHT AND THIS WAS AN ARENA ALL ALONG, HAPPY HUNGER GAMES!!! ]

video

[redwinekindofgirl]

[Julie doesn't look shocked so much as... really confused. This girl looks a hell of a lot like her - close enough to even be her twin - but she's pretty damn sure she never had a sister.]

I could ask you the same thing. [She replies carefully, frowning a little as she gets over the surprise.]

[64th]

[ that's a fair point. she tosses her hair back over her shoulder. ]

I’m Cashmere. I’ve been here a long time.

[paragonbrosca]

Ugh, I hope not. For the most part, my kind can't dream and from most of those I've had already? Really not a fan.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Dwarves don't dream? Why not?

[Even dogs dream.]

[cakebuffet]

I'm pretty new, myself, but that's what I hear.

['Normal' isn't really a thing for her back home, either, but the unpredictability of this place is something else altogether.]

Not sure I'd prefer zombies, though.

video;

[redwinekindofgirl]

You might, if you were used to them.

[As if you can really become used to hordes of roaming undead. Julie supposes that she's as used to it as she'll ever be, even if she's still holding onto the hope that things might get better one day.

They have to, right?]

It's what I'm hearing, too.
