there is no man in the dream

“There is no man in the dream.”

Georgina didn't even know if the dreams were real, but even if they were, she'd never have that idyllic life. If she ever did, she'd screw it up. She'd proved that with what had happened between her and Seth. Yeah, maybe he'd slept with someone else. He'd moved on to someone else. But she'd screwed it up long before that. Or maybe it was just doomed right from the beginning. Whatever the truth there, Georgina knew happily ever after wasn't meant for her.

That was why she'd called Dante. Georgina was tired of being good. She was tired of trying to live by these morals that were getting her no one. What was the use? She'd never even the score. She'd never make up for all the bad things she'd done in her long, long life. Dante wasn't a good guy. She knew that. But she didn't deserve a good guy and right now, after seeing Seth and Maddie so happy together, she wasn't in any mood to be alone, if she ever was.

She was on her way to meet up with him when Arva had approached her. Georgina had known in an instant that she wasn’t human, but she’d also known she wasn’t demon or angel or any other creature - holy or unholy - that she’d ever felt before. Curiosity piqued, she listened to the sales pitch. It sounded too good to be true, but that just made her want to know more. “Sign me up,” she’d told the woman and it wasn’t much longer after that when she found herself standing on a stretch of beach.

Beautiful didn’t seem like an adequate word to describe the paradise around her. Georgina felt herself smiling genuinely for the first time in she couldn’t remember when. She'd changed out of her party dress and dressed for the Seattle winter, which was too much in her new surroundings, so she quickly shed her coat and draped it over her arm. She considered shedding the light sweater she wore underneath, but decided to leave it for now. The air was warm, but not so hot that she needed to lose another layer.

"Hello," she called out, maybe stupidly. She still wasn’t sure how many of Arva’s promises to believe, but curiosity drove her more than fear. She was an immortal, a succubus. There wouldn’t be much in this place that could hurt her and finding another person - human or not - would be the fastest way to learn more.

	"Mostly as a group," Barry said. "At least for dinner. It works out well since we don't want to risk ruining our limited resources by having someone who can't cook burn the food." Even though they were pretty confident the gods wouldn't ever let them starve or anything, they tried their best to be respectful. "Is there anything else I can show you?" he asked.

"That sounds smart," she agreed, laughing softly. "I have excellent takeout ordering skills. I guess I'm going to have to brush up on my cooking now that I'm here."

She wasn't horrible, at least. And maybe she could trade a salsa lesson or two for a good meal. Her cooking skills were a little rusty, but she figured she could manage.

Georgina flashed him another smile and shook her head at his question. "Unless you think there's something else I should see, I think you've given me a lot to start with."

Barry grinned in response. "I think you should be good," he said. "If you run into anything that you're not sure about, you can use your bracelet to access our on island network and chat with the other volunteers."

Some of whom would also make the same mistake he had regarding her identity, but he figured that he could try to warn them before she got on the network. "It was nice meeting you, Georgina. I'm sure I'll see you around."

[and wrap?]
