[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. )

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

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

[storyseeker]

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

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

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

[voice]

[circumitus]

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

[Much as the dreams do suck.]

[ 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!!! ]

At least zombies are predictable, right?

[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.]

Video

[redwinekindofgirl]

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

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

[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?

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.

[voice]

[redwinekindofgirl]

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

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.]

[wantsnudes]

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

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?

[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.

[storyseeker]

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

video

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah, it mostly sucks. Survival isn't living.

[Things were getting a little interesting for a while, though, but now she's back home she expects that it will go right back to normal... with the added caveat that she'll never be allowed out of the stadium again.]

video;

[redwinekindofgirl]

Bummer. So we're at the mercy of a bunch of sociopaths.

video

[wantsnudes]

At least you're relatively safe here, and there's easy access to food and the like. It's far from ideal, but...

[64th]

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

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

video;

[redwinekindofgirl]

[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.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Uh... good for you? [Is she meant to be impressed? She's not sure.]

I'm Julie.

['I thought cashmere was what sweaters were made of.']

[redwinekindofgirl]

Dwarves don't dream? Why not?

[Even dogs dream.]
