one confused insomniac [bbs]

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I know the computer isn't as good as asking in person, but it's the best way I have to talk to everyone! I hope nobody minds.

I just want to know, is everyone okay? So many people just collapsed, even in the middle of the corridors! The faculty said they were sleeping, but I was so worried! Now everyone's awake again, right? What happened?

... I don't know, other than that I had a really weird, vivid dream.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

I think someone else mentioned having a weird dream, too! I wonder what caused that.

[derped.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's related to the nightmares we had before. Those weren't so vivid, though.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

When were the nightmares, again? I think I missed those.

Tobias needs to learn to tttyyypppeeee.

I'm glad to hear it. But why did everyone collapse? Just so they would dream? That seems... kind of strange.

Though I know not if the others afflicted were treated similarly, I for one am fine and thank you for your concern.

As for what happened... I am not certain myself. 'Twould seem the afflicted had unusual dreams.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to hear you're all right!

I'm so confused, even so. I understand that people had strange dreams, but did they collapse just to have those?

[birdwhoseeks.livejournal.com]

So it would seem. I recall feeling a headache, followed by sudden exhaustion. Afterwards, I dreamed.

Commander Leonhart seems to believe this to be the work of Time Compression, and given my awareness of my dream being of an event in my past, I am inclined to agree with him.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

An event in your past? Do you mean... a memory? I always used to dream about things that had happened to me during the day, so I'm not sure if that's really so unusual.

[birdwhoseeks.livejournal.com]

'Twas a memory, true, but not one of my own. That is what made it so unusual.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it now! Yes, that is rather strange. Do you know whose it was?

[birdwhoseeks.livejournal.com]

If I'm not mistaken, the memory belonged to another from my world, the Shadow Knight Oswald.

He is currently enrolled here.

You're such a sweetheart for worrying about everyone Colette.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you, I guess... but how could I not worry when people fall asleep right in front of me?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Was it really all that sudden?

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

It was!

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

I guess I should apologize for making you worry like that.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Oh, but it wasn't your fault. Nobody could help it... right?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

I didn't. I don't normally fall asleep in the middle of the day without a good reason to.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

That was why it was so strange. Most people don't... Lloyd used to, though! I remember he fell asleep while standing up and Professor Raine had to throw a board eraser at him!

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

Lloyd? Professor Raine? Are they friends of yours?

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

Lots of us have been having weird dreams. People tell me it's happened before. I had one too...

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

I hate to be a bother, but what were those dreams like? I didn't have one, so I wouldn't know.

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

Mine was like I was someone else. I was reunited with someone I cared about, even though they weren't the same as they used to be. So it was kind of happy. But I don't think everyone's were.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

I used to dream I was someone else all the time, so I don't know if that was strange... but at least yours wasn't a nightmare, right?

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

Time Compression is our best answer.

I see. It seems that time compression is responsible for a lot of things, doesn't it? It's causing so many problems for everyone. I hope it doesn't last forever. I still have a mission to accomplish.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

Mission?

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Yes! I need to reach the Tower of Salvation!

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

...You're likely not going anywhere there soon.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

I know that it'll be hard... but no matter what, I have to go!

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

And if it takes years to get there?

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Then at least I still got there!

As long as Sylvarant is regenerated, then I suppose it won't matter how long it takes. But while I'm here, people at home are suffering.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry.

There's little we can do about that.

[fierybluebird]

Time Compression side effect I'm told. Same as the nightmares.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but I'm not sure what nightmares you mean.

[fierybluebird]

Back in July there was a month of nightmares. I guess the people who weren't here for it seem more confused by this recent bought of oddities.

[runaway-chosen.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? July completely disappeared for me, so I didn't know!

[fierybluebird]

It's better to have missed it. Everyone was like zombies.
