Third Animus Data Fragment - I've seen enough for one life

[Desmond looks....tired. His face is unshaven and sallow, and his eyes are red. He shakes his head, trying to clear the cobwebs. When he speaks, it's not in English, but an older Italian dialect.]

<<Ugh...did anyone get the number of the goddamn train that hit me? It'll be another month before I'll shake this nightmare.>>

[
Desmond looks surprised, as though he wasn't expecting what came out of his mouth. He shakes his head again.]

<<What the hell? Am I speaking Italian?>>

[Message received; it was far from a definitive answer, but it was enough for her to have some idea of how and why this was happening.]

<< Depends on how long you've been out. Did you get the memo about Asti waking up? And the most recent land-ho? >>
backwordscompatible: (lacking in confidence)

[She visibly winced at that. Trying a little too hard not to think about the Death realm and...failing miserably.]

<< I can't say for sure, but it's possible. All the Great Turtles of this world have the ability to affect people's dreams. How much, I don't know, but I've definitely been visited by more than just him in the past. >>

[All she could do was shrug sheepishly at that.]

<< Sorry? I've learned the hard way that it's better to tell the truth than lie. >> [Especially when it comes to Magic and Keelai and possible Dreaming effects.] << Has anything like this happened before? Back in your home. Did you ever learn how to turn it off? >>
backwordscompatible: (looking up)

<< It's not...completely impossible >>

[Again, she wouldn't lie to him, but she also saw no reason to send him spiraling even further if he was this upset already.]

<< But just in case it is, there must be another way. Meditation, maybe? Have you tried meditation? >>

<< It's cool. You'd be surprised how much venting I can listen to when I know I'm not the one in trouble. >>

[Jokes aside, however...]

<< I get why you're worried about the nightmares, but meditation is different. If anything, it's meant to be the opposite. You're supposed to be able to learn how to control your own mind. Keep the negative thoughts either in control, or push them out of your mind altogether. >>
