[Well the armor might be familiar to some of you. Even the coloring. And you are already swearing under your breath, aren't you?]

[If you want to know why they're swearing, just keep watching. You'll catch on.]

You know what? I thought I finally caught a break. After dealing with all that shit with the Meta, all I want to be dreaming about is swimming in sea of snack cakes. Actually, I’m pretty sure that was what I was dreaming about before I got dumped here with the theme park mascot that came in and ruined everything. Yeah sure free candy is awesome, but at what cost? A long ass information dump that I may or may not have tuned out about three seconds in?

[Spoiler alert: he did tune out the Moogle.]

Whatever, I’m going back to sleep. This actually might be the first time I’ll be glad to wake up during one of Sarge’s staff meetings.

Private to Grif

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[Well, this could end horribly. No way of telling when or where this guy is from, though he looks like he's one of those simulation troopers the project was running.]

Hey, you look like you're from somewhere familiar. Welcome to town. I'm York, and this is Delta.

Private to York

[grifball]

[With the Blood Gulch crew, everything ends horribly. Then surprisingly gets better.]

Delta huh? Weird, I think I remember hearing that name somewhere. [Thinking. Dammit this is going to bug the shit out of him.] Can't say the same for a Yo-

[...fuck.]

Oh fuck me. You're a Freelancer, aren't you?

Private forever!

[allfunandgamesuntil]

[Delta takes a step forward, to become just a bit more visible there.]

Well that's a new reaction. What's your name, soldier?

[unrecovered]

[Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuuuuuuuuck]

[He's not surprised. Dismayed, displeased, and wary of the fact that this could royally fuck things up for him...but not surprised.]

Where are you.

[Also, don't mind the very curious Komory Bat on his shoulder. The bat just wants to be friends, that's all!]

[grifball]

Oh great. You're here. [Nice to see you too Wash.]

[Actually wait, no it isn't. It's never nice to see you. Especially since the first thing Grif noticed was the demon perched on you.]

Same place I started hey what the fuck is that thing on your shoulder?

[unrecovered]

The feeling is mutual. [You have no idea, Grif. None whatsoever.]

This is Fang. He's a spirit and a solid ally and you'd have one yourself by now if you'd listened to the Moogle. [Wasted words but dammit he can't stop himself from trying.] Now where are you.

[shadearchivist]

[Ienzo inclines his head to the monitor. It's only polite to say hello to new arrivals, even if this one does remind him highly unfavorably of Demyx.]

Are you another associate of Agent North's? If so, there are likely some people in town who can give you a more comprehensive orientation.

[grifball]

Never heard of the guy. Though if he has an 'Agent' in his name, I'm glad I don't know him. Because seriously, that's how all the crazy shit usually starts. [How many times now? Guess we can go ahead and include crazy dream shit on the list because why not.]

[earthshatter]

I rather doubt returning to sleep will help matters in the long run.

[grifball]

Well I'm not giving up on such a promising idea until I've tested it thoroughly. [It's a test he actually wants to do. Go figure.]

[dork_of_keys]

[Judging by the armor, it's pretty obvious he's from the same world as a few other people Sora's met since arriving here. Judging by his attitude... One thing at a time.]

Well, if going back to sleep could get us out of here, there probably wouldn't be anyone here.

And tuning out the Moogle wasn't a good idea. He was only trying to help.

[And then Bruce's face fills the screen as he squeaks curiously at the new comer. Why don't you have a Spirit yet. And for the record, Bruce is a bat.]

Bruce!

[grifball]

[Admittedly Grif isn't the best ambassador Red Team could have sent. Then again-]

What's that? Sorry, too busy testing out the very logical means of getting out of this place. [Simmons would be so proud.] Seriously? Another one?!

[Everything else you said is now negated why are there bats whyyyyyyyy]

[brodakota]

I'm pretty sure the candy's for your spirit, and not you.

[Well this is interesting.]

[grifball]

[Purple armor huh? Must be a neutral party like Doc.]

My whatnow? [Come on it looks so colorful and tasty.]

[raisethemoon]

Ah. Another Agent. [By now, Luna's just assumed that the armor goes with the rank.] Returning to sleep shall not aid thee.

[grifball]

[Wow. So much WTFery he needs a moment to process it.]

Yeah sure. I'm an Agent, and I'm talking to one of my sister's toys. That's what I get for eating 48 snack cakes before going to bed.

[defrostedpride]

[In Even's opinion, people who ignore the exposition fairy - uh, Moogle - deserve what they get.]

Before you get devoured by swarms of Nightmares, do the advancement of science a favor and report any odd sensations you experience after eating the candy, would you? I wasn't planning on doing experiments on the effect of people consuming Dream Eaters, but if you're going to do so anyway, you might as well make yourself useful.

[grifball]

[Sorry what was that? Couldn't hear you over the not caring.]

So...you guys don't usually eat this stuff I take it. [Not a dealbreaker tbh.]

[fearmylaserface]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Of all the people, we got you.

[grifball]

Fuck off Blue it's not like I want to be here. And aren't you supposed to be stuck in that unit-thingie?

[colorbymemory]

[Well, this newcomer doesn't seem very nice. Best proceed with caution.]

Umm...I don't think those are candy.

Most of us just seem to wake up here again when we go back to sleep.

[grifball]

[You don't know the half of it.]

Bright colors, cartoony shapes? You could've fooled me. [Still tempted to try it.] So what, this is like some weird dreamland or something?

[sexyimpact]

My couple week long nap would have been way better if I'd dreamed about something like that...

[grifball]

A couple weeks long? Now you have to teach me your technique.

[usedrapidspin]

You really should have listened to the moogle. What he said was important.
