I checked and... apparently it's been a month since I was in a sleep coma. [ She seems bothered, a little stressed by this whole ordeal. Who wouldn't be though? When you're in a sleep coma you lose so much of your time and... ]  It's getting a bit bothersome... and I wonder if Ace is okay...

[ BUT HI SOMARIUM. This is Alice here, and she has some questions!  YOU MAY NOTICE SHE HAS DRAWINGS ALL OVER HER FACE???

Too bad she doesn't know yet, poor thing. ]

Can someone tell me what happened? This place is so unusual I'm sure I missed something important...

Oh, and... [ She holds this up. ]

Did someone have a birthday party here? This was... in my mouth...

No, pen. Like... drawings. In pen.

[He's trying to be helpful, really.]

D-Drawings?

[ She's worried now-- going to look!! ]

WHAT?! ACE!

[ Sorry Ken, she's looking around to see if he's here...

Looks like he isn't. ]

Sorry about that.... I didn't realize...

Hey, not like you did it on purpose. Nobody draws that well on their own face.

[Logic. he has it.]

Just figured you ought to know before you went and... and bought a newspaper or something. That'll wash off, right?

[belovedoutsider]

I hope so...

[ She's just messing with her face now, this better wash off, and fast!!! ]

... So can you fill me in on what happened? [ Why a newspaper when you can do it?! ]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[That does mean dealing with the World According to Ken, though...]

Hm. It's been kinda weird, actually. There's been a lot of stuff about dreams and things and there's this nightmare woman... How long've you been out?

[belovedoutsider]

A month...

[ She's getting a little irritated because SHE ALREADY SAID THIS AND HE'S BEING TOO VAGUE, maybe she should ask someone else... ]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Wow, you missed a lot.

[Helpful, Hidaka.]

Okay, so what happened was... well, a lot. It's kinda difficult to explain but I think there's some more documents out there now, so... anyway, turns out we can dreamwalk now, not that I've done it but a lotta people have, and there was this thing about the new moon where what's her name - the Overlord - she showed up and did this demonstration about the last war. Except stuff went wrong and everyone got stuck there and now there's this nightmare lady running around and... you should probably buy a newspaper.

[belovedoutsider]

....

[ Pfff, well at least he tried. ]

I think I'll do that, once I wash these markings off somehow... Thank you.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

It's no problem...

[... not that he's sure he did anything to warrant being thanked for, mind.]

It's a lot to take in, I guess.

[belovedoutsider]

Yeah...

How are you dealing with all this?

[ Whatever it is, she still can't wrap her brain around it. Sounds... complicated. ]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Huh? Me?

[Blink. That is a very good question and not one he's really much considered.]

... well, I figure it's just this place being weird again, right? At least we know who to blame now.

[belovedoutsider]

[ ?!

Not having a newspaper sucks... ]

You mean... the nightmare women?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Her, yeah... Names Nyteri or something. Pretty sure she's that black ghost kept showing up, though, so I guess all's really changed is she's got a name now. And a mission statement.

[belovedoutsider]

Mission statement?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Well, at least we know what all this is about now, right? There was some kind of nightmare war and looks like this black ghost lady's a pretty sore loser.

[belovedoutsider]

Uhh....

[ BOY YOU JUMP AROUND TOO FAST. ]

Okay. I guess I should ask Ace to get me a newspaper...

Thanks.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, that's probably the best bet. Figure he owes you a favor, anyway.
