[Tidus really doesn't look too happy about being here, but he already lost his temper on the Moogle. As far as he's concerned, they're only helpful when they're being held by a certain leather dress wearing black mage.]

They're happy to help, except that part where we can't leave.

[He brightens suddenly at a thought, talking just a bit more animatedly.]

I think I heard someone say once that when you dream, time passes differently, or something. Maybe when we wake up, things will be exactly the same. Still...

It doesn't feel like a dream. It's too surreal to be one.

[He glances down at his Dream Eater pieces, hardly thinking about them, then looks up.]

Is there a pool around here? I need somewhere to think. I can sleep there, too.

[Not really.]

[This is just getting weird.]

We did.

[They'd take all the help they could get in solving the mystery.]

The only leads we've got so far is that everyone's been seeing the same thing in their dreams.

[And more oddness. What is going on here?]

This... doesn't make any sense.

[go_dream]

Oh, okay, that explains it.

[Some of it. He scratches the back of his head.]

We must have talked at some point or something...right?

What do you mean by the same thing? Do we dream in the dream world?

[How many dreams are there? Just thinking about it makes his head hurt.]

Nothing about this makes any sense.

[dork_of_keys]

[It doesn't quite explain it. Tidus is among the people Sora's known for most of his life, yet... One thing at a time. Maybe he'd poke Riku about it later.]

Uh... right.

Everyone's seeing a Keyhole in their dreams. Yeah, we can dream in the dream world.

[Good question. As long the second layer of dreams isn't forced, though, Sora isn't complaining.]

It is weird. But we're working on figuring it out.

[go_dream]

[At least Sora got his name right, even if that only raises more questions.]

What does a keyhole have to do with anything? Are we supposed to go find it?

[He nods.]

I'm sure we'll figure out something.

[dork_of_keys]

[There are so many questions...

As to the more immediate questions, Sora figures Tidus will get these answers eventually. He may as well answer the ones he can.]

It's a little more complicated than this, but Keyholes protect the hearts of worlds. I'm not sure if we should find the Keyhole or not, though.

[Considering that it should technically be taken care of already...]

We're working on it.

[go_dream]

Worlds have hearts? [He leans forward slightly in interest. He'd never heard of anything like that before.]

Why not? Are the Keyholes dangerous? Do you think it might be something else?

Right.

/late

[dork_of_keys]

Yeah, they do.

It can be dangerous to mess with them. The things is, as far as I know, this world's Keyhole should be fine. Unless the dreams are trying to tell us it's at risk somehow...

no such thing!

[go_dream]

They have hearts like us. [He's still having trouble understanding this.]

If we found the Keyhole, maybe we could check on it and make sure.

Re: no such thing!

[dork_of_keys]

[Sora had a fair share of trouble wrapping his brain around it too.]

Maybe.
