[ Wherever you are in your dreams tonight, you'll notice a particularly odd looking blue box with a man standing outside of it. His hands are in his pockets as he leans against it, grinning, looking at the landscape of the dream, which is fashioned to your liking. A city, hills, perhaps even just an open field or even a ship at sea. Tonight, the dream is shaped to your liking! ]


(( ooc: If we've talked things for the event this month, feel free to throw it in the subject! otherwise, no-event Eleven post. :D ))

[This time, when she answers, it's stripped away of the bravado, the arrogance, even the anger. It's quiet but it's firm, and absolute.]

You can't be on both sides of a war.

[Even when it's not your war at all; oh, she knows it. She knows it in what happened when she dared to confess she was drawn to the kindness of the wrong person - a person who served Beryl, in another world where Beryl had appreciated that service, it was claimed.

But Beryl had been the enemy in hers.]

So are you!

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, considering she is a living thing.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Ancient race of beings who watched over time and all of that sort of stuff. Very boring!

[ Awww, Doctor. That compliment gets you a really big hug! ]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ hugs! He loves hugs. He picks her up and spins her around. ]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

There's no point in having a war in dreams.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

This may be a dream, but my intentions and my views won't waver just because of that.

[herlonelystar.livejournal.com]

[ Lots of giggling and squeezing tight. She's not letting go any time soon~ ]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Then there's no point in dreaming.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Ha! I can amaze even the Moon Princess. I think that earns bragging rights.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[There's not. Dreams are tantalizing at best, frustrating or even dangerous at worst. Besides:]

Dreams won't do me any good in reality.

[ Hearing her official title from the Doctor's mouth makes her freeze -- all the joy having seeped out like helium from a balloon. ]

... what did you just say?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

[ The Doctor pulls back enough, just to look at her with a small, sheepish and boyish smile. Oops. ]

Ah, right. It wasn't you that told me... sorry about that.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

You would be surprised.

[Somehow they've moved away from the truly dangerous territory, but she still disagrees.

She is not beloved, or sheltered and protected, or lucky; she does not wake from dreams into smiles and happiness. Her dreams, at best, are an escape.]

When I wake up from this dream, I'll never have come here right now. I'll never have been at the glacier.

None of this is real.

[ Now that he's pulled away, he can see that her face has gone pale. ]

You... who told you?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Now that all is relative.

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Mercury didn't tell me... as so much more make it obvious who she thinks you are.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Are you saying you don't know the difference between dreams and reality?

[Obviously, he does - or should; and that's why he should understand the futility.]

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

I'm saying that dreams can have a profound impact on the waking world. Inspiration can come in the form of a dream.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[That much is true; ideas, solutions to problems, those can still occur in a world entirely in the mind.]

Even then, it's the effort we make in reality that acts on those thoughts.

[ Usagi's as tense as a washboard, but she's still trying to put on a brave face. ]

She's been hurt so often by different Usagi's that I don't blame her for truly believing I'm a bad person.

[ Even if she says it, she clings a little closer. ]

[auncyenhalig.livejournal.com]

A machine that's ... alive?

[thatoldthatkind.livejournal.com]

Except you're not.

[ He hugs her tightly. ]
