[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.

[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.

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?

[A nod.]

Yeah. A-- A friend of mine came along, too. [She should probably make sure he's okay.]

I'm not going to say I'm traumatised, or anything. Anyone I find running around in my head is going to get a swift drop-kick back into their own subconscious.

Re: video;

[braveoff]

I don't think there's a way to do that unless you can wake yourself up. Mine have just had to play out.

Watch me.

[She'll kick people around her own subconscious if she can't kick them out. Who just wanders into someone else's head without permission? That's rude.]

...can I apologize in advance if I wind up in one of yours? No one's doing this on purpose.

...

[Huff.]

Fine, I won't kick your ass if I see you in there. But everyone else is fair game.

Re: video;

[braveoff]

Thanks for that.

I'm still sorry this is what you showed up to, though. The gods messing with our heads again. It's a lot easier when there are just things for us to fight.

[Her expression scrunches up for a moment. The more she hears about these supposed 'gods' the less she likes them.]

What are they doing it for? I mean-- Yeah, I read that guide thing, but is that all it is? They're using us as a meal ticket?

Re: video;

[braveoff]

Basically, yeah. They feed off our emotions, and right now I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to power up. Did you read about the Null?

video;

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah. That's a whole other level of creepy. I don't know which one I like least.

Re: video;

[braveoff]

At least the gods have a reason to keep us alive. The Null claim they can send us home but I don't buy it.

[redwinekindofgirl]

They can? [No, reel it in. They claim they can. Julie tends to like to form her own opinions.]

... You don't buy it?
