✯ Fourth Session ✯

[byakkoyagirl]

...There are a lot more people here than I remembered.

Do these mass increases happen often, or am I just imagining things?

A dream psychotherapist? Interesting. So tell me, what's your definitive litmus test for telling whether you're in a dream or not?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[She notices that, but says nothing.]

For starters, if things look too real to be true then they probably are. Along with that, shifts in the dream would regularly occur that I am trained to notice, whether or not the dreamer notices. And third, things being very convenient for a situation.

[She smiles.]

Plus I've been in dreams while I've been here. So for that to happen I would have to be inside of a dream, while being in a dream. [Which has actually happened once, but that's totally different from right now.]

[ When he withdraws his hand from his pocket, his expression changes slightly, though he continues on like nothing's changed. ]

Dreams inside dreams aren't impossible, but that's besides the point.

What is your job, exactly? You help subjects deal with psychological issues by working with their subconscious?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

That's the gist of it! It sounds strange, but dreams can tell us a lot about a person's inner conflicts and workings.

[windsorknot.livejournal.com]

Amongst many other things, yes. It's pretty impressive, what a person's mind is capable of.

Who do you work for, if you don't mind me asking?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

A psychiatric research laboratory in Japan.

I wasn't aware that that kind of research was going on in Japan. Interesting.

So how did you end up here? Since we're apparently not dreaming.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to be a secret.

We were taken here by a group called the Malnosso. You don't seem to have wings like the rest of us, so maybe you're a select group sent here for one reason or another.

[windsorknot.livejournal.com]

That goes without saying. It's a relatively new technology, after all.

The Malnosso? I can't say I've ever heard of them. How do wings work into the equation, exactly?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

The wings are supposed to be a life link. Without them no one should be alive in Luceti. Such as yourself.

And yet here I am. I can't say I'm really complaining about lacking them. Wings wouldn't exactly go well with my suit.
