[pre-Jaunt Liminal] It's that time again

[Raidou's mental voice, as it usually is when matters Questing Country come up, is carefully neutral.]

Well, it's definitely that time again, because I've been dubiously "blessed" with another prophetic nightmare.

It actually felt like it belonged to someone else. It started as a peaceful flyby survey of Questing Country, with occasional interruptions from the Transformed Lands. However, there was a pervasive, continuous sense of wrongness, and of many eyes watching, unbearably. At the end of the nightmare, there was an island floating above Questing Country on which a white wolf with blue eyes was performing the tea ceremony. The wolf spoke in a solemn voice, saying:

"None Us Tis Call Is See More Room Air At Is."

I'm fairly sure the dawning horror I felt as I started to look down at myself in the dream just as I was waking up also belonged to someone else. I woke up before I could see just what horrified that person.

For what it's worth, I also asked about Questing Country requesting our presence in the suggestion box. When I asked if the place itself had, the answer I got was "Yes, and at the same time, a huge, resounding no," and when I asked if the no was from the people in Questing Country, was told that "Whatever the no was from, it doesn't even look like people."

It's not eldritch - I did ask - so there's that, at least. But it's still concerning.

[After a short interval, Raidou chimes in again.]

Also, things are apparently changing Backstage, but while the Spirit Companions are aware, they have not yet told the Oracles.

I got something too... but it didn't have much so I wasn't sure if I should say anything.

It was a huge snowflake falling towards me in a silver sky, and a screaming sound like a dial-up modem. Which is not a noise I wanted to hear again, thanks.

Uh... you used to use it to connect to the internet. It used phone lines rather than its own dedicated channels, and so you'd get a noise like a phone dialing and then a really loud grating noise.

I don't know why it was like that. If you really want to hear it I bet Gil can show you something with it.
helborn: (okay well maybe not)

I was infiltrated last time we were there... wasn't there something about communicating with the thing that was in that... big thing?

... Sorry, Ace was eight, the focus wasn't... entirely there.

Uh...

[He's struggling to think.]

Some kind of baby... star... thing?
helborn: (yeah okay not sure about this)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-08-27 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that thing. So maybe it's talking about communication with that? But we have no idea if we'll be in the past or future or whatever from when we were.

... Or from which time.
helborn: (okay well maybe not)

[personal profile] helborn 2020-08-27 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that was what I meant. I don't know why a snowflake, though. Not unless it was talking about my particular aesthetic.

Yeah... Ace didn't question it, but... well. It's definitely a weird place in so many ways.

Dream interpretation is always hit or miss, both these dreams and Questing Country in general.
