IC: Dream Post

The space you are standing in is cold and grey and very still. There is nothing beneath your feet, nowhere to go. You hang for a long moment, in this place with no place, without direction or a proper sense of time, until the light dims...

...and your feet touch ground. Your eyes are closed. When you open them, you find yourself here.

Re: The Beach

And finally he see you, and pales.

He stares at you wordlessly for a long moment, unable to process the fact of your presence.

"...the wave came... I thought I was alone..."

It'd take a lot more than that to get me.

Re: The Beach

He points toward the gap in the reef... which looks a lot closer than it did when you were walking to the beach.

Re: The Beach

It will take hours, but eventually the two of you will be able to send all of the bodies into the deep water. You'll recognize some of them -- his friends from Aather, and people you might have seen in his memories, who arrived on the Nation long after the wave...

Again, it takes him a long moment to process and respond.

Re: The Beach

This takes a long time to sink in, too. Finally, haltingly, he nods.

"You're right... this is... wrong."

Re: The Beach

Anyway. You're still alive. I'm still alive. Most of these people shouldn't even be here. Something messed up here.
