[Voice] Looking for Patterns

[halfdarkened]

If anyone's up for it, how about some show and tell about the nightmares? ...I'll share mine on the board if anyone's interested in sharing theirs. Maybe there's a connection.

I could ask him.

I guess it might. [Though it only occurs in the city, and most of the Organization stay on their floor.]

...The more time I spend here, the more I find out I don't know, myself.

[voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Good point. Now if we could figure out why...

The city itself is pretty old, I think. There are the ruins around it, too. Like a spell that's on the architecture itself? Maybe linked even to the city's age? [He's grasping at straws, and he knows it.]

[Voice]

I don't know, but a year ago I wouldn't have thought someone could just sample memories from another person.

Do it. We need all the information we can get on this place. As if Castle Oblivion itself wasn't hard to pin down.

Could be easier that way. Need to ask more people before we can rule the other out as impossible.

Spell? [Gah, magic? She sounds out of her depth, but it helps to think of it as technology she doesn't get.] Could be. Or maybe something broadcasting from the center and the range doesn't cover the whole island?

And does this even affect the locals? If they even dream in the first place.

Fair enough.

This stuff is creepy enough without the nightmares.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Apparently someone doesn't think so.

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Gee, you think?

It's all getting old fast.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Do you know anyone besides the Organization who might be able to do this kind of stuff?

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

[voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Right.

That'd make sense, too. I've met a lot of people with technology that can mess with minds and hearts.

Not sure. It's hard to say, though I should probably start with the gypsies. They'll actually talk to us.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. But he's gone. And I don't think he'd do this.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

How would he have done it?

Oh man… I’m sorry that’s…

[Gives a deep breath.]

It’s just a dream… We shouldn’t worry… We just have to remember it isn’t real.

But… Yeah… My nightmare… W-Well my first one was… When Bo left… Except it was… Rather… Different…

[There was a crack in his voice. He was trying to hold back his breath.]

I mean it was like… If I couldn’t ever save her again… Almost as similar as the other nightmare when Lotso would have succeeded at burning us all down in that fire… And I couldn’t save… I couldn’t save any…

[His voice choked again. Woody took a breath.]

Nothing… It’s nothing, just… Just a stupid dream… It’s fine, I’m fine, they’re fine, she’s… I hope she’s…

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Probably some sort of technology that involved digitizing our dreams to keep tabs.

[Private to Woody]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

[Pause.]

...Sounds like both of us are afraid of failing to protect the ones we care about.

But you're right. They're just dreams.

[Private to Riku]

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

[He clears his throat, trying his best to keep it from sounding sore at all.]

Mm yea... Yea... We... We shouldn't let it get to us.

So... I guess that's one connection... What do you think it means?

[heartstoblend.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I guess that could make sense. I mean, my nightmares are just kind of.... sad. And frantic.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

I doubt this place would have anything like that.

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Mine are trying to keep me stuck in my past.

[Private to Woody]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...I wish I could say. There's sort of a connection in all of these being linked to things possibly going wrong in the past, but it's a big stretch.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Not inside Paixao. In this castle, I'm sure it could be made if someone could figure out how.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

But you don't know how he made it work?

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

I never saw him make that. Just that this is his style.
