If anyone's having any trouble with the latest round of dreams, I can help. Or at least listen if you want.
I figure I owe you guys since I got helped last time.
[A little while later, the video's on and there's a variety of holograms appearing. Some fireworks, a few dream eaters, a moogle. All a familiar red and blue colour. Theta's trying his best to cheer people up.]
[ooc: timing for this is nebulous and can easily become action if that's what you want. Just let me know the subject line or somewhere how you want to do this.]

Needless to say, I learned my lesson. Kind of why I don't want you or York doing the same thing I did. It's not like you guys have a shield to defend you.
no subject
[ Then green eyes snap up, to glare a moment at North. ]
I've survived without one this long. I don't see myself needing one now.
[Less snappishly:] But I...appreciate what you mean. [No, really.] Sleep's just very unpleasant right now.
no subject
He pauses and places a hand on Carolina's shoulder.]
I know. It hasn't been the easiest time.
no subject
To her credit, Carolina didn't flinch away from the contact. But her earlier efforts to relax seem to have been in vain: she's still pretty tense. ]
No. No, it hasn't. [And it will get worse before it gets better.] And stopping it means stopping...whatever it is on the ship.
[ It's a rhetorical statement, even if it's phrased like a question. ]
no subject
[He paused for a moment, sighing.]
We really need a concentrated effort. All we know is it shows up randomly, so maybe if we find a place were it's attacked most often, and bait it somehow...we can make it appear.
[He's been thinking of plans.]
I think there's still those paint bullets in the training room. That can help stop it.
no subject
(Unless that goal is Texas. Fortunately, so far, that one hasn't been part of any equations here.)
She sits up a little straighter. ]
I was discussing ideas for tactics we could use with Noble-2, that Spartan that recently arrived? If we could lure it into one of the training rooms, we'd at least have space for everyone to face it. If there are actual lockdown paint guns we could use in one of the locker rooms, that would be even better.
Given what we've gone over so far, the 'bait' would have to be fast, or at least durable, to deal with our target.
[ ..Guess who plans on being one of the aforementioned pieces of bait. ]
no subject
[He pauses, thinking.]
It sounds like we have the makings of a plan. We should probably talk with the Spartans about it and get something concrete.
I would say both.
[He has a feeling, and will staunchly object, unless she magically gets more sleep.]
no subject
[In a good way, to her mind. It's a positive, when there's been little of that as of late.]
We'll need to hold some in reserve, we don't want to tip our hand too soon when attempting to lure it. ..It's still only really going for humans when they're on the ship, from what I can tell. That could be useful.
[ She makes a face at the thought of speaking with Kat, but there are worse fates. And if they were half as capable as Spartans were reputed to be, Carolina could force herself to be more tolerant. ..Probably.]
Could be worth making an open network callout. There are others here with skills that could tip odds in our favour. What I've seen of magic so far has been potentially useful. [haste spells just imagine how fast she could go with haste AND her speed unit..]
[ Funnily enough, magically is exactly how she'll attempt more sleep: there's a little prize baggy with pieces for a Tama Sheep in her room that will be seeing a moogle in the morning.
How well that works out remains to be seen yet. ]
no subject
I can handle that, I think. You just focus on getting some rest first. If it's going to be a big op, we'll all want to be at our best.
[He wasn't planning on letting anyone get hurt again.]
no subject
..All right. Keep me informed of any changes suggested by the Spartans that could be useful.
[ Neither did she. Why else do you think she was determined to be the bait? ]
no subject
[He looks up at her.]
Are you going to be okay for now?
no subject
None of us do.
[ Lela mews softly, before rubbing her cheek against her person's leg, then moving to nudge North's knee in thanks. The Frootz Cat gets a slight headshake from Carolina, before she offers the vaguest outlines of a smile to North. She's tired and she's trying, but she is grateful. ]
Thank you.
[ Not that she said much, exactly, but. ]
no subject
[North offers Lela a pet back.]
Anytime. You know that.
no subject
There's something in the look she gives North, tired and uncertain and perhaps even a little wounded, that suggested Carolina does not agree - and has more than enough experience to back up such feeling.
And then, gone, shutters down. Nonetheless, she does not disagree out loud, settling instead for a simple nod to acknowledge she heard him. ]
I do. I'll try to remember.
Good night, North.
no subject
[He caught that look. He wishes he could be more help to his friends from the future, but it's hard. He can't really relate to what they've been through. It's all he can do to just stay positive.]
