[Bro.]

Hey, if you ever want to talk about it sometime, like you need an outsider's ear with no judgments? I'm open.

[astudyinviolet]

[ 8D ]

You want to hear about all the ways I've died in my nightmares.

[activatingcombatmode]

[BRO.]

Yes, I want to hear about all the ways you've died in your nightmares.

Because maybe it'll help to talk it out? Put it into the universe? Make them go away?

[astudyinviolet]

[ 8D ]

Many of them were already put into the universe, and I fear inflicting them on others.

[activatingcombatmode]

Inflicting what on them?

If you talk to a friend about them, how's that inflicting anything?

[He might not get it...]

[astudyinviolet]

The more knowledge you have of the horrors, the more likely you are to adopt them into your own dreams. There is no need for more than one to suffer this inconvenience.

[activatingcombatmode]

Oh, come on, man. Don't start with the self-suffering crap on me.

[He's heard that too many times in his life.]

Are we friends? I feel like we've been through a few things together. If we are, then friends listen to each other even if it's about horror dreams.

Come on. Try me.

[ Zack asked for it. ]

Tentacles tear me limb from limb as if my limbs were nothing but flower petals and I the flower's center. I'm pulled deeper into the Abyss, and great red eyes watch me from the depths, the only light available. Despite my dismemberment, I am still aware of myself and the pain as the salt water fills my lungs and burns my gaping wounds. Thousands of voices invade my mind. Then razor sharp teeth tear further into my flesh, and I wake.

[ And still that is somehow not the worst he's dreamed. ]

[activatingcombatmode]

[He did ask for this.]

That's ... That's sure a nightmare, man.

Have you ever been scared of the ocean? That's a big deal if you are. Especially in this place.

Also... Have you ever considered writing this stuff down in a journal or something? If you're having nightmares like that all the time it's probably a good idea to see if you can write it all down. To ... figure out?

[You know. If you can't get therapy. ...???]

[astudyinviolet]

This world loves to supply my mind with new material to draw from.

[ Yes. Yes, he is very much afraid of the ocean and rivers and ponds and anything he can potentially drown in. He has trouble with bathtubs. ]

I have written them in my casebook. The nightmares still remain.

[activatingcombatmode]

[This entire world must just be a nightmare fever for the guy. Yikes.]

There's got to be something that's triggering those nightmares, man.

You shouldn't have to deal with something like that all the time.

[astudyinviolet]

[ And he gets seasick on top of it. There are reasons why Sherlock tries to remain on Eltrut as much as possible. ]

That is why I have the enchantments. I have coffee and tea for times when I am without.

[activatingcombatmode]

I mean, that's all and good but that's not finding a solution to the problem. That's just putting it off.

[astudyinviolet]

In this, it is the best I have and more than I have back home.
