Subject: Dream rules?

hey so I got the typical(??) talk from the dream guys here now but

when they say we're dreaming -

do standard "dream rules" apply?? I don't see people flying all over the place, that's a dream thing for most people, right? idek I don't dream much

and what about that thing when people die in dreams? does that mean they wake up and go on with their normal lives?

k thanks for your time

Comments

I love how they have two entirely different energies here

[mortal_son]

that'll teach me for being optimistic

whatever. you're the one who decided to take this personally. seriously, chill out, it's not life or death here. it's all literally a dream. none of it matters.

... unless it *does* and people can actually get hurt in which case I want to know. if things don't operate under dream rules, shit can get dangerous and it'll be time to buckle down and get serious.

I’m giggling like a maniac over here jsyk

[bakudan_bambino]

What the fuck are you even talking about. You asked a question and then shot it down yourself!

I AM CHILL.

Just because it’s a dream doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter!

We could always test that out, you know.

[mortal_son]

super chill yeah I can see that

and just how are you thinking we should test it?

[bakudan_bambino]

JUST BECAUSE I CAPITALIZE SHIT DOESN’T MEAN I’M ACTUALLY YELLING

Fighting?

[mortal_son]

that's usually what that means on the internet I don't see why magic dream journaling would be different

yeah I'm not killing you to see how real this place is. fuck that.

[bakudan_bambino]

I was just doing it to make the point very clear!

Geez, stop assuming so much.

[Gokudera just over here being a hypocrite like the nuisance he is.]

Why are you assuming YOU would kill ME?! We could just have like… a fistfight or something!!

[mortal_son]

...

what, you want to see if punching actually hurts? or how long a bruise lasts?

[bakudan_bambino]

yeah

Would it make you more willing if I told you I can heal myself?

[Just a little faster than a normal person, because he’s not used his Sun flames much, and especially not on himself. It’s worth trying, though?]

[mortal_son]

getting your jaw broken still hurts like a bitch. no need to ask how I know.

...

fine. once we know, no need to experiment more on it.

[bakudan_bambino]

I’ve been through worse.

You some kind of selective pacifist or something?

[mortal_son]

first time anyone called me that.

no, I'm just sick of fighting. if that's your thing, that's your thing.

I'd rather be done but - that's not how the world works. maybe it's not how dreams work either. rather figure out now if people can actually get hurt than when it's a real fight.

[bakudan_bambino]

I’m not gonna take it personally, y’know. To me, it’ll be more like training.

Just see if you can land one hit, okay? I can take it.

Then no more after that. I won’t push it.

[mortal_son]

huh. just land one hit?

sure. I can do that.

let's do this, then - where do you want to meet up?

[bakudan_bambino]

Yeah, you think I was gonna just volunteer myself as a punching bag?

I’m not gonna make it easy.

Know anywhere in town you wanna meet, and we’ll take the ‘training’ out into the woods?

[mortal_son]

nah but I don't think you'll put up much of a fight

we'll see about that

there's that big library tree thing, why not there? it's easy to spot

[bakudan_bambino]

Why would you think that?

Library tree thing?

((ooc: you may need to link me that location so I can read up on it, as I can’t find it))
