[It's not that Cobb has been here for a while, it's that he learns very, very quickly. It comes with the territory, of being very much accustomed to laying low. He's always been fairly cautious and wary unless personal matters are involved, after all. It's something that comes with the territory when you've been on the field long enough. He deems it appropriate enough to talk to the network as a whole now. Plus, he's asked enough to catch the basics--he's near a console by the window in a cafe in the earth district, nursing the best tea he's had in years and typing anonymously. ]

Interesting for a place not quite near life, death, or dreaming. How many people here are well versed in Oneirology?

what do you mean by "well-versed"?

text; anonymous

[squint]

Someone who's read up on the subject more than flicking through a dream journal at a book store.

[Well damn, that could only be one person. Arthur isn't sure how he feels about this development, but that doesn't alter his reaction, at least.]

A little too well-versed, maybe.

ME-2B. Architecture 101.

[ Cobb is later than he normally is--but he knows what that text is. Or at least thinks there's a chance he knows what's going on. 'Architecture 101' is certainly enough for him to slip a few coins (and hope that's enough when it comes to the currency here) and slip out.

It takes him a while to figure out where to go and how to get there, but when he does arrive he gives no indication of being out of breath or disoriented as he knocks. His brows do knit together in worry, but other than that he remains carefully neutral as he waits. ]

[aloadeddie]

[The door opens immediately - Arthur was clearly watching for him, or has some way of knowing when someone arrives before they even knock. He's wearing something local - something vaguely Asian, like what many of the kedan wear. Mostly to blend in; Arthur tries to do that wherever he goes.

He nods at the other man, and silently lets him in.]

You just missed all the excitement, you know. It was like something out of a Romero movie.

[ Jack isn't even sure he can pronounce it, but anonymous texts have proved interesting to talk to before. ]

are you some kind of doctor?

[ The word sounds vaguely medical-ish... right? ]

[squint]

Not at all. Just looking for some information on dreams.

Oh, you can switch on these things? Awesome.

Anyway, I can't even pronounce that. Good luck?

[andaway]

Depends on what you mean by well versed

[Because as long as he reads books about it Clark is technically well versed in anything...]

Someone who knows lucid dreaming. Ring any bells?

[the_other_eight]

[The red head who is looking through the video at Cobb has her hair pulled back and a small stack of papers set to the side, but her attention is to the person on the other end of the screen. In fact, one could almost think there is no computer and miles between them.]

A bit. Is there anything in particular you're interested in knowing Mister Charles?

text | anon

[squint]

The concept of lucid dreaming. [ He's no Eames, but he set the bait--time to see if the redhead takes it.

[HER LEAST FAVORITE FORM OF COMMUNICATION.]

You're the first I can remember asking about it. Are you familiar with it yourself or wondering who is?

[squint]

Testing the waters.

[fuzzyelf]

[So this takes a little longer to reply too because the keyboards aren't as friendly to those with different hands and he occasionally hits the surrounding letters.]

Sorry, can't say that I'm well-versed. Just with the meaning. I'm guessing you've had a lot of people say this though.

[text]

[squint]

Surprisingly, no.

If there's any interpretation of dreaming of this place, let me know.

[thewaythatiam]

I have not studied oneirology, I am only familiar with the basis of the study. The study of dreams. It was not required for my degree.

I estimate there is over a 75% chance you are asking because you believe that this reality is a dream, and I am currently 87-90% certain that it is not, based on available evidence.

[squint]

Interesting percentages. What evidence?

I'm starting to think people here are making things up.
