Day 314 | Action | Video
Video
[a boy, about thirteen, directs a strained smile at the camera]

Dome denizens! I feel a certain amount of what I believe mortals call 'deja vu'... I have been subjected, once more, to a fate worse than death! The Orange Jumper of Doom. [he tugs distastefully at the collar. He knows where the clothing stores are of course, but everything's so out of sorts he feels the need to make contact and find out what's going on]

Action]
[anyone wandering in Sector 3 might find him leaning against one of the willow trees in an attempt to look casual and lazy but really because he's terribly dizzy. He's keeping an eye out for danger though, glancing up from the video feed semi-frequently]

	[Nico's totally with you on the jumper. The color alone should be banned in every world and universe and plane of existence. But he's more interested in other things.] "Mortals"? You've been here before? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes? I believe? Or have been here for awhile. I don't actually recall any point of removal... [which is what makes the new memories so difficult to absorb - even Ikol was unaware of leaving] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nico nods thoughtfully.] You've probably been here all along. But just ... sleeping? [He runs a hand up the back of his head with a sigh. He is not the best person to explain this VR thing.] It's complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sleeping, as in dreaming? [of being back home for an entire year? Even without Ikol's insistance to the contrary, he wouldn't believe it] I am a fair hand at 'complicated'. Do, go on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Uh, alright. You would get a better explanation from someone else though. [He just took what he'd been told at face-value and went glassy-eyed with the technical details. Let the people with a better grasp for that sort of thing handle it.] This prison, everything you see here, you... isn't real. It's virtual. The real you is in a pod in somewhere else, in some kind of sleep, or coma, or something.

[there is a brief pause as he absorbs that, unsure if he should believe it. He glances slantwise at Ikol, who fluffs his feathers and shuffles from foot to foot uneasily, cocking his head from side to side as if to break through the illusion by pure will alone, and at last remarks, "I am aware of no such state, but these wardens are of vast power. Who indeed knows of what they are capable."]

... fascinating. I believe there is a film that has just such a concept at its base. Perhaps our wardens are familiar with it and found it inspiring. How did you come to know such a thing? Who are you? [said only curiously, without any accusatory bend]

	[Nico shrugs helplessly. The last film he'd seen starred Jean Arthur and James Stewart and was in black and white.] There was an incident here in the dome. Some of the others were able to wake up and see what was really going on. I wasn't one of them them. Who I am isn't relevant to that. But my name is Nico. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
