Yeah, I guess I would. There's so much there to examine, so much I don't understand. I often find myself wondering if this is real or if I've gone more crazy than I already was. Before all this happened I did dream about you...a couple times. They stood out for me because they were very vivid, very real...but now I feel as though I can't remember the details. I still feel like half a person.
I do remember a small bit...a shocking bit among all the other shocking and cryptic things I saw. You, eyes closed, body lax, floating in a pool of water - water that has clouds of blood billowing throughout. I'm not telling this to scare you. I won't let anything happen to you...it makes me nervous to not know where you are. I...well, I guess I kind of feel something for you. I won't let that dream be real.

sitting a little way away, Esme relaxed and happy in his lap having here tummy tickled, he watches Mai and LMD talking, catching the odd word and biting his lip slightly. He turns away, not wanting them to feel him watching, I wonder if i'll ever manage to get to the point where I can just sit and spill like that... Jeeze, how is it fair that I get to grow this whole other body and still have to sit here, prey to stupid female slushyness? *pout* but it is sweet...
Shwartz ambles over, scavenging for more carrot bits, a look of either accusation, or intense concentration on its face. Hey, its hard to tell with Llama's.
'hey, so maybe I am a big girls blouse! You smell like hundred year old wet dog bedding.'
Shwartz makes a low grumbling in the back of his throat.
Well, It not my fault. You reek, deal.
He holds out a bit of carrot top for the animal to eat, but insteadof accepting it the llamma just stands there, the gurgling noises increasing until finally, with a gross goughing sound, he spits a huge glob of drools and slime and hair and bits of carrot and something which glints and shines even amongst the mess.
Oh my god thats disgusting! eeeuurrrgghhh! oh god! what the? Leaping up shaking his hand wildly in an effort to dislodge the awful goop, he falis to notice the slight glitter before it sails across the room. For a brief moment he stands torn between the desire to get the crap off his skin, and another to kick the llama's ass so hard that it'll need panel beating to remove the boot marks.
The desire to clean his hands wins, and the llama escapes, looking just about as pleased with itself as any llama can.
Accross the room, unnoticed, the goop lands under a small couch, Souls ring glinting and flashing in the intermitten light that reaches it.

Yikes. Morbid much? *smiles* Around here it seems a dream is never just a dream. Maybe the bloody water thing has to do with the whole pirate/shark attack when you first arrived. I was a bit out of it when I first landed on that pirate ship, maybe you're appearance has something to do with stopping me from dying. Now my question is why was I "sent" there in the first place?
It feels like we were meant to come together. You know (and don't think I'm crazy here) I really think there's something that we have to accomplish. Something that destiny (yes, corny I know) knows only we can do. Does any of that make any sense?
I guess maybe we should start at the beginning and try to figure it all out. Do you remember anything of where you came from? Or what happened before you appeared here?
*squidges back* Oh by the way, I like you too.
Mai, Secretary of Unmentionables.

*his fear for her is suddenly overcome by the shock of her kiss. after a brief moment of stunned disbelief, he quickly gathers himself and puts his mind back on the matter at hand.
Yeah, a little morbid, I know. I feel like I'm missing an important detail, though...really, more like many important details. It might have to do with the pirate/shark attack thing, I guess. I don't know why any of this has happened, but I think I'm happy it did.
Heh, if you're crazy, I'm in the next padded cell down from ya. There's a purpose behind all of this.
Yeah, the beginning...uh, I remember being back in something like a skyscraper with a bunch of familiar people, they must have been friends. then i heard you yell for help. after that i'm not too sure of anything, everything is blurred and crossed and confused as if i was seeing everything from two eyes independant of eachother. I know I had different dreams that you were a part of both before and after that event.
I...well, what do you remember?

Well, I thought it was cool... see you guys later, the girls and I are watching movies if you're interested.

Well, I guess we could use a diversion before we get to Earth-That-Still-Wears-Digital-Watches , I could really go for a good flick......

Or, we could come back for those parts, after the rescue. I better look over Psuedo Ocean Cloud again and make sure she'll hold up 'til we get the real one built.

Boros:
Jack ejects the spent cartridges and quickly reloads. To his left Citizen hoists Safe to his feet and moves to wall to the left of the gate. To his right, Bride7 disappears into the smoke, from her smoke grenades, a dangerous look in her eye. Directly ahead, the guards at the gate are unaware that Citizen and Safe are almost right next to them, thanks to Jacks heavy cover fire.
Jack looks down. Bride6 is slumped against the wall beside him gamely trying to load her gun with a ruined hand.
Jack holsters his left gun, steps to her side and hooks his arm under her wounded arm lifting her to her feet. This kept his right arm free and Bride6’s uninjured left arm free.
“Let me be your right arm and leg, you be my left gun hand. We’re gonna make a run across the alley to the opposite side of the gate from Safe and Citizen.” Jack looks into her eyes, “You ready?” A pale, grim faced Bride6 nods back. Jack leans in and kisses her. “Ok babe, let’s do this”

I was there! At the time I thought it was a dream, but now I'm beginning to think I actually went there at the same time that you appeared here. Right before that we'd been dancing at a party on the 'tree. I was upset and perhaps a little tipsy so I went to lay down and suddenly I was in this whole new place.
I was scared at first so I hid in a cupboard.
At which point Cozen showed up out of nowhere.
Once I finally came out, I saw a few people that I knew, but they seemed different somehow. I mean Serenity practically told me I was crazy when I asked her about her wings. And there were other people there that I didn't know, but still seemed familiar somehow. When I showed up they all we were looking for you.
It was all so confusing and then suddenly there I was on this pirate ship... I must have hit my head when I landed there. I don't recall a whole lot about that little adventure until the end. And then we were back on the 'tree and there was so much going on there was no time to think about it. There's got to be more than this than just weird dreams. There has to be a reason for it all.
I have no idea that those reasons might be. Maybe we should call a meeting see if anyone else has any ideas.
Mai, Secretary of Unmentionables.

Boros:
SR realized as he dashed back into the fray that the militia had written him off as a break and run when he dissappeared behind cover to help the wounded boy. There were only three troopers covering his direction. He dispacthed two of them before they could even raise their weapons. The third pannicked at the sight a masked man covered in dirt sludge and gore, He dropped his weapon and put his hands on his head in surrender. SR having no time for the green horn smacked him in the chin with the stock of his weapon knocking the soldier unconscious. He quickly swept up the man's submachine gun and relieved him of two grenades. As he did this one of the eight troopers at the alley mouth caught sight of SR and sprayed his submachinegun in his general direction. SR quickly dove behind a parked car for cover. Not waiting for more troopers to concentrate their fire his way SR threw both grenades towards the alley mouth one after the other. As the second shockwave struck he popped up firing the submachinegun in his left hand and his weapon in the other pouring a rain of lead towards the alley mouth. He watched the soldiers fall like rag dolls and he began to feel that terrible sickening ecstacy of battle rage when a burning in his abdomen told him that he was gut shot. SR dropped the submachinegun and dove through a plate glass window of a store front out of the field of fire. He crawled and staggered deeper into the store and collapsed behind the cashiers counter.

*On the screen in front of Ath, the planet Boros grows larger. He checks the computer, and decides it's time get everyone ready. However, before he can turn on the comm, a warning alarm goes off. Ath checks the long-range sensors. It's something big, much larger than the Tree.
Ath hits the comm: "TRM? Could you come to the bridge please? I think we may have trouble."
*As Ath tries to get a read on the ship, it hails him. He checks the origin of the signal and swears. It's what he was afraid of.*
"TRM? Could you hurry, please? A little running wouldn't go amiss."
"Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"
