[ she's happy about having made it in one piece, but she's not happy about what happened. is that better or worse? ]

did you get sucked into the fantasy, too?

[selfimage]

No, but it was always a low threat.
My head's already enough of a mess not to fall for that- everything is a sort of fantasy to me.

[covertness]

[ huh ]

what did you think of the place?

[selfimage]

It felt like an elaborate trick.

[covertness]

i guess in a way that's what it was
any idea how it worked?

[selfimage]

Without my senses I'm at a sore lack for details in reasoning, unfortunately.
But with the right tools, minds aren't so difficult to trick.

[covertness]

what kind of tools are we talking?

[ #scientificinterest no spy things here ]

[selfimage]

My sorcery, unfortunately.
But there are other things too, I suppose. We have to be adaptable.

[covertness]

we did all gain some new powers
i don't know what everyone can do, but maybe there's something useful there

[selfimage]

Oh, most likely.
Reality is a fragile enough thing, the mind just warps certain things to what it wants to see.

[covertness]

what about the dreams? how do they fit into this

[selfimage]

Dreams have always been a spiritual space.
Sometimes more real than what you see in front of your face.

[covertness]

seeing how the dreams impact this reality and probably vice-versa, i think it goes both ways

[selfimage]

I stand by what I said.
But it is hard trying to reconcile the opposite, isn't it? That reality is really a dream, and the dream is really the reality.
There are some mortals who've known all along.
Others that scramble for lack of control.

It's curious to see which do which.
