So the living're all bent out of shape about something that could be pretty interesting.

I'll spare you the dissertation, but I've got a feeling it's related to our friend from the caves.

I'm working on getting (useful) details, but I just thought I'd let you know ♥

...And to ask if you're up for another trip.

[Oops. Oh well! Should prove entertaining!]

One of the other newcomers mentioned this "Story Eater" when I'd met her. A charming young lady named "Rosalia"! She seemed to think it was her duty to do something about this creature! I offered her my assistance, of course. If Mother ever shows up here, she'd box my ears if I didn't at least make the offer!

And if you're thinking of a hunt, I'd be happy to join you! I've gone after some smaller prey recently so I know which of my tricks this place has cut me off from so Round 2 should go a bit more smoothly!

[Oops indeed. But! To make an omelette and all.]

Wonderful. I'm working on verifying the info, but that guy mentioned something about nightmares being where the other sides of those things are. Problem is, I don't dream... And I'm guessing you don't either.

[Well. It's not like he's seen him sleeping. But he could be wrong! He's sure Alastor will correct, if that's the case.]

If that's the case, we might be able to use the girl. Or some other human. We pop into an exposed one's dream and have our round 2.

Oh just because I don't typically sleep doesn't mean I can't. I've taken one or two catnaps here in Reverein to try and see if it's easier to access this "dreamotion" energy sleeping than trying to do so while awake.

Being from Hell, it's extremely rare for me to experience pleasant dreams. If nothing else, I should make sufficient bait!

[Oh, that's even better. Taking humans out of the mix will increase their odds of success, most certainly.]

Glad to hear. I'd also like to see if I can connect to you while you're under. You're okay with having me in your head, I hope?

[lonelysmiles]

So long as you don't deliberately go poking around anywhere you shouldn't. And anything you see is kept in confidence.

[Please. Alastor's been nothing but forthcoming with every one of his little questions, and his method of delivery is far more entertaining than picking through by himself. More charming, too.]

Yes sir!

[An extra little flourish on that sentence should indicate his enthusiasm.]

We should start as soon as you're ready.

[lonelysmiles]

I'll be back shortly then! I was having a lovely little stroll through the market!

[Picked up a few things for dinner, too.]
