( tl;dr prologue, see below for what your character sees )

Hello ~

[ There is an operating table. You are on it, faced up to a harsh white light. A similarly harsh smell of chemicals lingers nearby.

You may struggle. The straps are tight enough to make it useless. ]

Don't be scared, please. [ It is a calm voice; it comes from the same direction as a figure in a lab coat, pink popping out in contrast to the plain white. Aerith steps forward and rests a scalpel to the side, smiling down at the new subject, though the gesture seems a little sad. The old one just didn't last ... ] It doesn't help.

[ But why should she be scared? She's the one in charge here. ]

This is a waiting room inside a large hospital, comfortably furnished and provided with a mixture of medical journals and fashion magazines. After a reasonable wait, a bustling nurse calls out the appointments, everyone who arrives. "Doctor Mizuno will see you now."

Inside the doctor's office, bookshelves line every wall, packed with heavy textbooks. Doctor Mizuno, remarkably young for her title (youngest in her world, it's rumored) sits behind the sturdy desk with a quiet, self-satisfied smile. She's wanted to be in this place for so long; the thrill of finally achieving it hasn't worn off even in dreams. It's enough to make her smile in the faces of the people who think she's only here because of her mother's famous name, and go about showing them how wrong they are by her results.

"How are you feeling today?" she asks her patient.

[It's a dream Cordelia has a lot. She's getting out on the red carpet of some movie premiere, her arm intertwined with some hunky guy. In this dream she's a famous movie star, loved and adored by all. There's no visions here, or demon goo, or anything gross like that. Things are simple. She has money and she's happy and it's everything she's always wanted.

Even if you don't know her, in this dream you do. You recognize her as the movie star Cordelia Chase. She's been in an array of films, some dramatic but most were feel good romantic comedies. It was her niche, so to speak.

As she steps out on the red carpet, the light bulbs of the cameras go off, and she flashes a smile to the adoring public.]

You're all too kind, really.

Ignore this!!
