[ The feed turns on, with Lucy sitting on the edge of the fountain in Traverse. There is a Meow-Wow currently bounding about in front of her, full of life and energy, much to her amusement. ]

Hey hey, those cute little moogles helped me with those Dream Eaters you guys were telling me about. Just look at him -- her ...uh...whichever. Isn't it cute!? [ She giggles, then ohs. ]

That reminds me, I promised I'd introduce some of my spirits to a few of you. Lyra and Plue should do, I think. [ She reaches to the keypouch at her side, drawing out two silver keys, swiping both into the air. ]

"I am connecting a path to the celestial spirit world! Heed my call and pass through the gate! Open the Gates of the Little Dog and Lyre. Come on Plue, Lyra!"

[ Incantation complete, there are twin POMS of smoke and sparkles, and seconds later are two figures - on Lucy's left, a young girl that looked about sixteen, holding a harp under one arm and looking far too excited for words. On her right, a tiny creature that resembled a snowman - and not a snowman at the same time; but he trembled, quickly hiding behind Lucy's right leg. ]

You mean you haven't been having them?

[celestial_wizard]

[ Lucy shakes her head slowly, frowning. ]

I haven't - are a lot of people having trouble sleeping?

[brodakota]

I don't know if people have been having trouble sleeping, but there's a dream going around that a lot of people are sharing.

One about things breaking...

[He's reluctant to say more because he's not sure how the dream ends.]

[celestial_wizard]

When did they start? [ Things breaking is pretty vague. It could be bones, or buildings or ... anything, actually. But it might be something personal, so she doesn't question it further. ]

[brodakota]

A few days ago.

[He's not sure of the exact amount since everything's kind of bleeding into one right now.]

[celestial_wizard]

A few days... How strange. But no, I've been sleeping all right.

If you're having trouble though, maybe Lyra can help.

[brodakota]

That's good to hear.

[Even if she had been having dreams, they couldn't be worse than what he's going through. They aren't even that bad, it's just Theta's reaction to them.]

I'll be alright.

[That's a lie, but North's the type who looks after people and insists he doesn't need any help.]

[celestial_wizard]

Are you sure? [ It's okay North, Lucy was kinda like that too. Her friends-- well, her best friend anyway -- tended to see right through it. ]

[brodakota]

[He has a surprising stubborn streak.]

Yeah, I'll be okay.
