Ever since we had that shared nightmare, I've been dreaming at night. I don't dream, this doesn't just happen.

[ There's a slight pause, and a hesitation, before she continues. ]

Okay, and this might sound weird, but I think I've been hearing people's thoughts. I know—that sounds impossible, right? But I have reasons for thinking I have. I need to know if there's anyone who has that kind of ability who can answer some questions for me.

That must be really weird too! Can you only do it in person?

[a_shadow]

So far—that's the only time I've seen it work, anyway.

[ She lets out an acerbic chuckle. ]

I don't particularly want anything more than that.

[frostedplum]

Yeah, no offense, but I don't either! Not that I'm thinking anything bad.

[ She giggles. ]

It's just I like my thoughts being my own, you know? Anyway, you're taking this whole thing pretty well. I'm not sure how I would feel. I'd probably go stuff my head under my pillow.

[a_shadow]

Well, I...sort of think I'm going to avoid my boyfriend until I work out what's going on, to be honest. So I don't know. I think my coping with it is kind of a good front I'm putting on, more than anything.

[frostedplum]

Ohhhh, yeah, that's probably a good idea. And, um, at least it's a good front? Sorry, I wish I had some advice or knew what you were going through. Then maybe I could help.

[a_shadow]

Thanks anyway, it's thoughtful of you.

[frostedplum]

Well, you reached out for advice and here I come in just asking about how you dream. It was a little rude of me, so I wish there was more I could do. Oh, I'm Mei, by the way. Forgot to introduce myself too!

[a_shadow]

[ She chuckles, just a little. ]

It's okay. It's easy to get on this network and talk like you know everyone. I'm Tex.

[frostedplum]

It is, isn't it? I don't know why that is, but it's been good to meet so many friendly people.

Hi, Tex. If I hear anything about others mind reading, I'll be sure to let you know!
