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

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))
