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

you can't be surprised that someone who doesn't know your world's rules finds that hard to swallow, kid

I dont know. last time I dealt with mortals world war 2 was in full swing.

our worlds aren't so different.

[mortal_son]

shit, what a fucking time to see us.

that's not what I meant, though. I don't doubt you've seen shit.

I meant people might not take what you think will happen to you lying down.

especially to a ten year old. Mussolini sucked. I was lucky not to get brainwashed by his crap.

I dont care what they think.

[This is… half true.]

[mortal_son]

they all seemed like complete assholes seriously

that's fair. in fact - same. if im being honest

[ And if this kid wants to ignore the fact his friends will want him to stay alive and not die - if he just accepts his fate to die early and then get roped into helping his dad after death - no matter what the people who love him might say ... ]

[ Well. Shinjiro recognized he'd be a hypocrite for judging that. ]

[refantasma]

they really did. glad Im in 2010 now. yay time travel I guess.

People suck no matter the time. but it sucks less now.

[It’s not like Nico wants to die. He just knows his life will be short. He’s already expressed he at least wants to make it to twenty-one]

[mortal_son]

[ It's possible that Shinjiro was projecting more than a little. ]

you're a year ahead of me now, that's something

[refantasma]

[That's something Nico's guilty of too.]

the future dose seem nicer.

I hope it only gets better.

[mortal_son]

[ Shinjiro’s never going to see it himself. ]

[ … it’s what he deserves. ]

me too.
