[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?

Then an elegant solution for keeping track of reality must be designed.

Something tells me you have already something in mind.

[squint]

I do.

[andaway]

And what it is and how would that work? Or is it something you aren't allowed to tell us?

[squint]

Second option.

[andaway]

I have been mind controlled before, this doesn't feel like it.

[squint]

How were you aware you were being mind controlled? [ A failed inception? It's possible. ]

[andaway]

It's always the little things. Little details about my wife, my parents, the people I know and love. Something always makes it all fall down eventually.

[squint]

Poor job, then. If the idea didn't stick.

[andaway]

It's impossible to recreate a life to the point where you take into account every little detail. Something always fails.

[Something simple as a carpet.]

[ DON'T EVEN GET COBB STARTED ON FUCKING NASH OKAY ]

True inception is impossible.

[andaway]

Not sure what an inception is but yes, I suppose. If this truly was a dream or something like that we'd eventually be able to tell.

I'm sure of that.

[squint]

Quite the optimist.

[andaway]

And not ashamed of it either.

[squint]

It's a good trait to have.
