[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.

Who knows? What reason would someone have for trying to give people nightmares? It doesn't really do anything but torture us.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

The Organization's involved. Hard to tell.

But it is wearing us down since we're not sleeping well. And what better way to see what makes us tick than to see what still bothers us?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Not being able to sleep would bother anyone. It's not like this is gonna force us to say what our nightmares are about. A lot of people don't dream about stuff that's real anyway.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

[Pause.]

I never said it'd force us.

The Organization can sample memories, at least here in this castle, whether we're willing or not. It's why I don't worry about talking about this.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

If they can sample our memories anyway, why would they be making us have nightmares?

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

To see what's still bothering us.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

That still doesn't make any sense.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

We're in a city in a castle. Best I can do is make guesses.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Why would they go through the effort of giving us all nightmares just to learn something they can already find out?

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Because some of us have moved on from our pasts or their inner demons. Others haven't.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

That doesn't change anything.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Why?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

If they can find out what are memories are, they could tell whether we're still afraid of something or not. Giving us nightmares doesn't make that any different.

Re: [Voice]

Depends on whether they sample all or some of our memories, I guess. I'll leave memory and heart theories to Ansem the Wise.

You got any theories?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Not really. I don't know a lot about this place.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

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

[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]

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

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

How would he have done it?

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

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

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

I doubt this place would have anything like that.

[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.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Then I'm not sure that really helps us.
