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 )

How do they usually end?

[mylawn]

Sort of a personal question.

[polyphobic]

You weren't obligated to answer it.

[mylawn]

Sometimes people get nosy.

[polyphobic]

They do.
I don't really care what happens in your dreams.

[mylawn]

I'm guessing if this is a dream, I'd have figured it out by now.

[polyphobic]

How long have you had to figure it out?

[mylawn]

Half a year.

[polyphobic]

And you don't know if you're dreaming?

[mylawn]

I'm not going to discount the possibility.

[Although it's less 'dreaming' and more 'strapped to a chair in some basement tortured the point of insanity.]

[polyphobic]

That's a long time to spend wondering. Should I ask what you've been doing?

[mylawn]

Trying not to die, mostly.

[polyphobic]

That's a frequent concern?

[mylawn]

When we had a ship, yeah. Camping on a hostile alien planet wasn't exactly a walk in the park, either.

[polyphobic]

Do you think it's still something to worry about?

[mylawn]

I'd probably give you a different answer than most people.

[Read: I'm one paranoid bastard.]

[polyphobic]

Which view would be the most truthful?

[mylawn]

I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle.

[polyphobic]

The honesty is probably the most relieving part of that.
What happened on the planet? How dangerous was it?

[mylawn]

Nothing overly hostile, but we didn't know how long we'd be there. Most of the crew was not trained for survival situations.

[polyphobic]

Did everyone survive?

[mylawn]

Wouldn't know.

[polyphobic]

There wasn't a report?

[mylawn]

Might have been. I didn't see it if there was.

[polyphobic]

Then hopefully everyone was okay.
