Not yet. But I think he's been up here; there's purple fur.
nostabbing: (HANG ⚡ art from a new perspective)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-10-14 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
OK.

[And as promised, here she comes, popping off the grate and swinging herself down out of the shaft with absurdly graceful ease.]

[Considering it involved at least a few seconds of hanging upside-down by the fingers of one hand, "kind of cool" is a fairly accurate assessment there. But she, of course, thinks nothing of it.]

He jumped and turned the knob. He does that sometimes — runs away, I mean. One time he ran halfway across the city and got some guy at an outdoor cafe to feed him before I caught up.

[She bounces on the balls of her feet, fidgeting anxiously.]

Sometimes he takes Stiletto and Taser with him but today he just got out.

And there's no cars.

[It seems unusually important that she have that reaffirmed, somehow.]

I had a nightmare. A really —

[...]

A really, really vivid nightmare, like. Like, when you don't know if you're awake or not because it seems like you're awake but you're not and then you wake up and it all still feels real but you were sleeping and then it's like deja vu like you never stopped being asleep, maybe, or maybe you were and you don't know and...

Like that.

I never have them about Archie. Cat-Archie.
nostabbing: (GLOW ⚡ just like that edward cullen guy)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-10-14 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
I think he's probably in the vent where it's too small for me to go. I send him in there sometimes to hide stuff for me. Maybe that's what he's doing.
nostabbing: (BEHIND ⚡ how does it make you feel)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-10-14 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
...

[...]

It's just a dream, right? Dreams don't matter. Not that much.
nostabbing: (HUG ⚡ no shhh coulson's not really dead)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-10-14 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. But I'm awake now. And stuff's usually worse when you're awake than the stuff you come up with when you're asleep.
nostabbing: (NOTICE ⚡ woo dramatic lighting go)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-10-14 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[...Oh.]

You mean like school, right?

[But still, something about that rings sideways for her, and it takes her a minute, but then she figures out why.]

That's why it was a weird dream. It didn't work the way dreams do.
nostabbing: (WRITE ⚡ do you like me plz circle one)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-10-14 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Well, okay, when you have a dream — wait. Okay. There's this one con, it's pretty famous, but that's because it exists and nobody's ever pulled it off. It's called the White Rabbit, and you're supposed to...you get in the mark's head, and you make them change what they're doing with dreams. It's like a cross between a grift and a hack, except you're grifting their subconscious and hacking...their mind, I guess.

[Which sounds pretty creepy when you voice it aloud, so she'll just move on...]

But no one's ever done a successful White Rabbit because hacking someone's dreams is hard. Dreams come from memories that get jumbled up and played back out, from your mind...putting existing stuff together in new ways. That's why you dream about things that stand out, or why things show up in dreams that you just saw recently before you had it. Because those are the pieces getting thrown together.

But this one didn't feel like that. Some of the pieces aren't right.

Archie got hit by a car.
nostabbing: (POUT ⚡ not even a little freelancing)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-10-14 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
My cat, Archie. He got hit by a car. I mean, run over by a...you know.

[She frowns a little.]

I named Archie after my dad.
