[Of all the Freelancers here, North is probably the happiest to see the Mother of Invention. For all intents and purposes, it's home for him, and after a few months of technicolour monsters and other weird goings-on, it's nice to see something familiar, dream world or not. He spends some time on the bridge, before heading out into the ship, seeing all the familiar places. Mess hall's still intact, and it looks like the common room is as well, with it's lousy selection of books. The training floor hasn't changed, and it's nice to see that his name is still where it should be on the Leaderboard. As troublesome as it is, he is number five and takes a decent amount of pride in that. They don't spend a lot of time there, taking out the nightmares quickly before moving on. It still brings back a few unpleasant memories.

Theta's been pretty quiet throughout the whole journey, but he skates alongside North's head, equally glad for the familiarity. The last time either of them saw this place had been in a dream, so the, somewhat real thing is good to have, and North lets his hand trace the wall. He rounds a familiar corner, and heads to a familiar room.

His barrack is pretty much how he left it. Bed, table, locker, all the comforts of home. He sits down on the bed. Home sweet home. After a few moments, he turns on the communicator.]

I was just thinking that anyone exploring this place might want to avoid the barracks, or at least rooms 1115 and 1116. 1115's mine, and 1116 is my sister's. If she shows up here, I don't think she'd approve of anyone going through her stuff, dream world or not.

[Private text to Xion]

I guess I can actually give you a tour of my world now, if you want it? Unfortunately there's not a lot of places for ice cream.

Not yet, but I'm going to head there with Xion soon. I need to do that anyway.

[After all, only having a sniper rifle hasn't exactly been helpful.]

Who?

[ Someone hasn't been out rubbing shoulders with the other people stuck here. Imagine that.]

Heh. If you spot a gravity hammer, make sure to call dibs for me. [Not that there are any, on this version of Mother, but they don't know that yet.] If the inventory is anything like before, there should be more than a few spare magnums somewhere.

Xion. She's a friend I made here. Twilight Town was something of her home world, so she showed me around when it appeared. I promised I'd do the same for her.

I didn't expect that to actually happen.

[He nods]

Will do. They've got this place almost down to the last detail, so I'll be surprised if there aren't.

I see.

Does seem like the worlds that have appeared so far have at least one person from that location stuck here.

[She'd noticed that likeness. It was a very accurate dream - if lacking a few key details. Like FILSS. Or living bodies running the place...]

Given the prices York told me the moogles have been charging, it might be worth gathering what's over there and rationing it out for use.

Or at least some connection to it. I guess we'll know for sure if a magical pony-land shows up.

[He nods. It's kind of creepy in a way, he won't deny that.]

That was my plan.

I hope not.

[Her tone of voice is dry, but he can't see the pained look that crosses her face. Thank goodness for helmets.]

Just take care when you do. Those new nightmares over there seem more troublesome than the ones in Traverse Town.

[ Someone didn't tattle about someone else faceplanting due to kooma pandas, but it seemed a thing to mention. And Carolina hasn't been caught up yet on the mystery being haunting their old home. Yet. ]

[He's not discounting it anymore.]

I will. Don't worry, Carolina.

Be sure to let me know if you see anything interesting while you're over there.

[Don't worry, Carolina.

There's an odd pause, before her chin tilts.]

Don't give me reason to and I won't.

I will, on both counts.

Believe me. I've learned my lesson on that second one.
