A rude awakening

[You awaken from a deep sleep. You are groggy and cold and feel off in ways that may be initially difficult to place. The door to your stasis pod opens. How did you get here? That's a really good question. Who are you? That's another.]

[Step outside into the warmer (albeit not especially warm) room and you'll see the others, all dressed in a similar style of stasis suits. One or two of them are wearing the same colors as you, though it's perhaps hard to tell with the dim, red glow that fills the room.]

[The doors are closed. There is no apparent way to open them. And a robotic voice intermittently rings through the room:]

Life support is being restored to the facility. Please stand by.

[His gaze is still flitting around. What he really doesn't understand is what it means for his lies.]

...We'll figure it out together.

[Looks at you again, really looks, for maybe just a beat too long. Then he nods.]

In the meantime, it sounds like you're our best hope of figuring the rest out.

No one else remembers anything.

I'll do my best.

Um... about that dream...

I don't recall it super well, but kinda got the feeling like maybe you were... a little bit mad at me?
whenitrainsitstorms: (I don't feel the least bit bad about it)

About you roasting sausages while the town burned down?

What!? I was not!

[personal profile] court_chesster 2016-10-12 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No way! Why would I do that? Maybe you're mad at me, but don't make me into a jerk in your dreams!
whenitrainsitstorms: (I think that's stormleavings)

So you're saying everything about the dream was the same for you.

Except for that.

[personal profile] court_chesster 2016-10-12 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm saying I shouldn't have been doing that! Why are you painting me like the bad guy in your dream?
whenitrainsitstorms: (What kind of strange?)

[personal profile] whenitrainsitstorms 2016-10-12 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you were just... what?

Acting out the motions? Getting swept along with what was happening anyway?

I don't know! I don't even think that was my dream!
whenitrainsitstorms: (I used to think he was wrong)

[Doesn't answer for a minute. He's busy tracing back the events of the dream, as best he's able.]

[Finally he shakes his head.]

There's too much we don't know.
