[Wash is in full armor, helmet on. There's a reason for this; nobody needs to see that he hasn't really slept for about 72 hours. Those who have a bit more experience reading his body language can probably tell from the set of his shoulders and the incline of his helmet that he is Not Very Happy. Of course, then he opens his mouth and removes all doubt.]

This is just to let everyone know that there are no Nightmares in the Traverse Town hotel. Because they don't come inside. Ever. Anyone who says otherwise is paranoid. Or an idiot. Or both.

Probably both.

[That pause? Yeah, that's Aqua strangling the entirely instinctive (and likely not very helpful) answer that it's all true.]

I said something I shouldn't have, I know. But doesn't everyone?

[unrecovered]

Yes. They do. It's just not usually that badly inaccurate, especially in a combat situation.

[Look who's not letting it go. At all.]

[wavesinherheart]

No, it's not. But I can't change what I said.

Then maybe, the next time you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't say anything.

[wavesinherheart]

Not everything to come out of the darkness is as considerate as the Nightmares, even if the other kinds aren't here. Besides, I never meant to suggest that the Nightmares would. Not like this, anyway.

[unrecovered]

Aren't here yet. There's a first time for everything.

[wavesinherheart]

[Alright, even she has to admit she probably deserved that. But still...]

If they were here, I'd know.
