[Voice/Action] 004

[fallenambitions]

To all of Luceti, this is Captain Alexei speaking. I'm sure some of you have spotted a strange beasts that has appeared around our village, most likely breached the barrier to arrive here. From my own observation they seem to be looking for something and won't show aggression unless approached. So please don't engage these creatures unnecessarily. My squad will try to respond as soon as possible should anyone find themselves in trouble.

...Also, normally I wouldn't find anything strange about having something as common as a dream, but has everyone been having similar ones? Vivid dreams that you've had another life?

[First everyone gets moved around, next dreams and now beasts. All of this happening in less than a few days apart. Even if Shifts were a common event, should these be considered part of the first shift as well, then these events happening one after another is worth being concerned over]



[To his squad (Casey, Flynn, Daisy, Zack and Tsubaki) plus Nu and Spada]

We're meeting tomorrow. Come prepared. Spada, Nu, I would like for the two of you to come join us for the session as well.

Casey, Flynn and Daisy, I'm going to need some assistance from the three of you.

[To Frederic]

Frederic? May I have a quick word with you?

[Once he's finished. He's going to have a word with Ayumu once he gets back home.]

[ooc: Assume all the stuff that's to people directly are filtered 100%. And the training log is going up sometime on the 26th. :)]

[Katara is very firm on this.]

They're just dreams, Alexei. [Since being related by marriage gives her first-name basis, in her humble opinion.] And if everyone's having them, it's probably just another Shift. The last one was too mild not to have a follow-up.

[ Voice ]

[fallenambitions]

...I suppose you may have a point there. [He's not going to drop it though]

So now we have two shifts and a monster breach. This has been one hectic week.

[Squadron Filter / Voice]

[daisy023]

On it, Captain.

...

I've had them, sir. [Replying about her dreams. She's aware neither the beasts nor the dreams are a coincidence.]

[Squadron Filter / Voice]

[fallenambitions]

...I know you have. [And...they're not going to bring it up again here]

Do you happen to have one of those creatures still in your sight?

[ooc: I'm gonna hold off tagging this until we get some more of the other thread done with :|b]

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

I've gotten much the same impression from these things.

Whatever they're after, they obviously haven't found it.

...and if it helps, a lot of people are having especially vivid dreams, at the moment.

[Voice]

[fallenambitions]

If it's not to hunt us, then what could they possibly be searching for? That is the question.

Dreams that almost felt real? [He wandered if there was a connection to the two]

Did you have a vivid dream yourself, Mister...?

[ voice | filtered ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Yes Alexei? What did you wish to speak about?

[ooc: Just thought I'd let you know your cut spells his name as Federic in case you didn't catch it. ;;]

[ voice | filtered ]

[fallenambitions]

I have to apologize for my abrupt leave after the concert. I was called away and could not stay to receive the gift.

[ooc: No, I didn't. I'm sorry ;; it's fixed now]

[Squad + Extras Filter → Normal filter to Alexei]

[awakenedchaos]

Acknowledged. Updating schedule. [...The mechanical tone here's more of a reflex than anything else, really.

And with that out of the way, she'll go ahead and adjust the filter a bit so that the rest of the message is only filtered to Alexei, not the others.]

Um... I've been having really vivid dreams, but they're really not that strange...

[Certainly nowhere near the level of what she's heard from others. In fact, they're probably less weird than some of the dreams she's had in the past - the only difference is that these dreams are much more vivid.]

[Normal filter to Alexei]

[fallenambitions]

I see. I've seen mixed responses from a nightmare to pleasant dreams. All seem to be on the same subject of having this other life.

Oh, did you happen to come across any of these creatures today?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Vivid dreams?

[fallenambitions]

Dreams that seem more like...a vague memory almost. As if there is some familiarity to them, even though we can't see ourselves in whatever vision we saw.

They've been getting more clearer after the first day.

[voice]

[endthem.livejournal.com]

[maybe sounds a little weary underneath that monotone]

If anyone has any interest in examining one of these creatures, there is a dead one in the forest behind my house.

Re: [voice]

[fallenambitions]

[Well that's...convenient, although for his cause, he probably needs them still alive...but since he offered.]

I will have someone go and retrieve it. [...] Did you have some trouble with it?

[corrinesbell]

...What about them?

[referring to the dreams]

[fallenambitions]

I'm simply asking for data purposes. [He's putting together a theory]

I'm wondering if there is possibly a connection between them and these creatures that have shown up.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

The dreams are probably some new Shift going around. [He sounds... far less enthused and reassured than he normally would]

[fallenambitions]

Perhaps. It could be nothing to be concern about. [...] But do you feel a sort of...familiarity towards them?

[action]

[sundead]

[Ayumu's been having strange dreams too. Last night he dreamed of dying again, which wasn't unusual except the scenario was different this time. Stabbed from behind, unable to see his attacker's face... And then the dream was about girls. One was the Necromancer but the others were weird girls that wanted to invade his house (which was a lot different from his real one, and filled with useless objects that were 'gifts from his parents'....)

There were monsters to fight, too. And he was in a cute pink dress for part of it and -- you know, he really doesn't want to analyze this anymore.

What was more important was figuring out how to face his father. He knows he can't avoid a discussion forever.]

[My son is a cross-dresser in his other life, sob. Welp, soon as he's finished dealing with business at work, he's going to head on home sometime later in the evening.

Sure enough, the sound of the front door being open could be heard.]

Ayumu?

[Flynn's not going to be touching on the dream portion of Alexei's unfiltered message on the journals, mostly because that's exactly what it is. Vivid, and mostly unnecessary to comment on right now.

Besides, his assistance is needed.] What do you need me to do, sir?

[Voice | Squad Filter]

[fallenambitions]

You're going to help me capture one of those beasts. We need to study them more and see what we're dealing with.

[Voice]

[sonatasedge]

Yeah, I've had some dreams like that.

[voice]

[fallenambitions]

There's something odd about them. I would disregard them as simply shifts but...did you feel a sort of familiarity towards your dreams recently?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Never thought I'd hear you talkin' about dreaming.

[Voice]

[fallenambitions]

When a number of people are reporting the same thing, it's worth investigating. It could just be another shift though.

[...He was in his dream last night. Should he mention that?]

Are you telling me your dreams haven't become more vivid the past two days?

[Voice]

[formerhero.livejournal.com]

[Voice]

[fallenambitions]

[...The hermit? Strangely, he was in the dream last night as well]

You haven't had any dreams that seem more like a faint memory?

[voice, squad filter]

[forgiatura]

I'll be there, captain.

[ A pause. ]

I wouldn't look too far into the dreams. Somethin' so common ... it's prob'ly just another shift, ain't it?

[voice, squad filter]

[fallenambitions]

So I've been told. [He feels like they might part of a bigger picture, but he has little to work with to come up with a theory]

Have you had them?

[Voice | Squad Filter]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

Yes, sir.

[And she'll totally be there on time, too despite only tagging in a little late since her mun's racing off to an exam 8|]

[Voice | Squad Filter]

[fallenambitions]

[ffff backtagging is totally okay, and good luck on your exam!]

I will see you then. May I also ask something for information purposes? Have you had these dreams I've mentioned?

[ squad filter ]

[divinearrow.livejournal.com]

Understood. What do you need?

[ squad filter ]

[fallenambitions]

I need you, Flynn and Daisy to help me capture one of those creatures for tomorrow's session.
