What made you believe this? That we're where they said we are instead of it being a dream?

( Or worse, though Claire's ideas of worse would probably not match up to anyone else's. That said Claire can't say that she really took in too much of what was being said to her, so she does need the confirmation )

What did you do? Or want to do?

( Because she doesn't know, not yet. There was considering going out from the Dollhouse and trying to find something but to end up in another world entirely? She doesn't know where to begin )

Dead people don't dream.

I've been inside of a dream before. This is all too logical and tangible to feel like a dream.

[mylawn]

I'm not entirely convinced myself.

have you tried pinching yourself?

[polyphobic]

Pinching yourself in a dream wouldn't necessarily mean that you'd actually pinch yourself. You'd still be dreaming.

[polyphobic]

That's rather disturbing.

[polyphobic]

What does being like a dream feel like?

[polyphobic]

Should I guess that nothing like this has happened to you before?

Dreams eventually come to an end.

Not sure what you mean with that second line of questioning. You mean before we got here?

[polyphobic]

Do they? Some dreams change into other things.

( There's a pause before she finishes the rest of the reply, whether to admit what she doesn't know or to go with his question )

No. Here.
What did you do after you accepted it was real?

[soldiergenes]

I've been here for over a year. Kinda doubt a dream could be that vivid for that long.

And I cooperated. Although now it's more like a waiting game.

[polyphobic]

Why is it different now?

[soldiergenes]

Did you just get here recently?

[ That would answer Snake's question of whether or not people are going to keep trickling in with no idea what was going on. ]

[polyphobic]

Yes.

[soldiergenes]

Where did you come through?

[polyphobic]

They said I'm in the Ingress Complex.

[soldiergenes]

[ Well, that would make sense, wouldn't it? ]

It's been happening for a while now, but before we were all on a spaceship called the Moira. It crashed about a month ago and now we're stuck on this planet waiting for the people here to figure out how to get us back.

[polyphobic]

( So many questions. Not sure if she wants to believe )

Were you on the ship for the year?

[soldiergenes]

Yeah. A lot of people arrived here more recently, though, same as you.

[polyphobic]

Why are we being brought here? You said you cooperated. With what, coming?

[warandpeace]

I don't think it's worth risking it not being one for the moment.

[Hell, given what they've all been through, it could be a dream. Only some of it makes sense. Magic is still a hard thing to swallow.]

This place can still make you bleed realistically enough.

[soldiergenes]

The Ingress technology that brought you in has been malfunctioning and no one seems to know how to stop it.

When we were on the ship, we all had to work toward keeping it running until we reached our destination. Which, I guess, is this place.

[mylawn]

Not this kind of thing, no.

[polyphobic]

Then you must have some interesting dreams.

[polyphobic]

So we're just supposed to sit and wait until they figure this out, while all the time more people will come here?
