What dreams may come [Open, bendytimed to before GTFO plot]

[toariversodeep.livejournal.com]

In her sealed, silent, sensory-deprived meditation room, Roxie is sleeping. It's a special sleep: for all dreams are connected, she knows, and by spinning her mind out along the web of thought, she might step into others...

[Roxie is dream-hopping, getting a look at the subconsciousnesses of the other people on the ship. So, how it works - if you're interested, go ahead and post with a dream your character is having, and Roxie will slip into it, subtle at first but more obvious as she tries to satisfy her curiosity. Just her being around will make the dreamer more lucid and more likely to remember the whole thing when they wake up.

Also, feel free to ask any OOC questions in a thread here, or poke me on AIM at 'anagramarye'.]

Her smile dimmed a little.

"Well, he and 'Bo belong here." She stated matter-of-fact-ly. "I'm more of an imprint. I'm not sure if it's 'You always carry around those you care about' or 'If you stare into the abyss long enough, it stares back', but either way I'm here and can really only influence. Usually if I try to act the jerkface stops me pretty easily." She seems a little down on this, but quickly brightens up. "But you got rid of him easy enough!"

Slobo is still slackjawed, though he finally seems to have regained speech.

"Ya just... fragged him... like a chump..."

"I got him angry enough he wasn't thinking right, and then caught him by surprise," Roxie corrects, though there's something edgingly smug about her expression. "If he's not stupid, it wouldn't be so easy a second time." Not that she quite understands what a dangerous enemy Lobo would be under nornal circumstances.

"...I'm Roxie," she offers to the blonde girl.

"Greta." Secret offered her hand." Or, well, a tiny copy of Greta." She shrugs, as if she doesn't quite understand it herself. "I'm sure if you looked hard enough, there'd be one of me in every one of my old team-mate's heads. I think I'm here most because 'Bo used my teleportation more than anyone else." Slobo was looking around now, staring at the darkness.

"'S funny..." He said slowly. "This makes me think of ya, Secret. Kinda nice and peaceful." Any normal person would look at the abyssal darkness surrounding them and be terrified.

Slobo is a weird dude.

Roxie doesn't mind it so much, either. But she can't be afraid of the dark...

Greta's description of herself has left her sharply curious. An actual imprint of the original, not just an imagining? It leaks through to her expression a moment too, even.

"It worked for now, but what about when he comes back again?"

Greta shrugs, with Slobo just staring off into the darkness peacefully.

"He's got a lot of the power here. But then again, the road to the afterlife doesn't exactly have signposts, so it might be a while, even if it is just a mental copy of it." She looked down, slightly saddened.

"I guess if he comes back, then the cycle just starts over again, until someone can break it." She looks at Slobo now mournfully. "But I think the only thing that'll fix this isn't going to happen."

"What would that be?" Roxie asks, looking between Greta and Slobo. With this and the other strange mind-in-a-mind situation she's run into, gears are starting to turn over in her head, and she's a little distracted from the conversation...

"I think it's called 'Closure'..." Greta replied as the edges of the space began to lighten. "I also think he's waking up..." Slobo still stared into the horizon.

"Then it might be time for me to go," Roxie says with a little bit of a smile. "But I hope you don't mind if I come visit you again sometime."

[top-teen-38.livejournal.com]

"Feel free!" Secret smiled warmly. "It's good having the backup against 'Bo's self-loathing." The grin was earnest, naive, yet pure.

Roxie nods a little, and steps backwards. There's a spiral staircase leading down into the ground there that wasn't there before.

"See you, then," she says, and hops down it.
