"I'm not saying that. I just think-"
"You just let a doctor get into your head is all. Get you to doubt yourself. But I know better, this voice, what it's telling me is coming, it's all true. It has to be.." It's final words spoken more to itself than to you.
"I understand. Let's just take a break for a second. Take a few breaths, slowly, focus on your inhale. Like you're trying to sniff the inside of your own nose." You watch it's form inflate and deflate. "Good, focus on where you are. Your feet touching the ground. The air on your skin. Center your mind."
"Yeah.. Yeah.. I'm sorry. I just really need you to take me seriously." It replies more even keeled.
"I know. You know it's in my nature to question things is all."
"I do. That's why I wanted to meet here.."
"What's so special about this place?"
"That hole from my dream? It was massive I told you, but I could tell where I was. No matter where I am in Gotham it's like I have a GPS built into my brain." It lifts a leg and taps the cobblestone underfoot. "The center of it was right fucking here. Underneath us right now."
You look down and let your awareness slip ever so slightly.
Shivers creeps over your brain in small streams, more akin to thin strands of ivy, as more sensations and images fill your head. The full moon obscured by long flat clouds, and a familiar spotlight imprinted upon them, eventually they shift and reveal the full moon in all it's glory. You watch as it dips and falls, changing texture and shape until it's a perfect sphere. A lone pearl falling from the sky until it disappears into the black waters of Gotham Bay. You shake it off and look back to see SIM leaned forward analyzing you closely.
"You back?" You hear from the speaker of the phone by your waist.
"Yeah." You say, moving a little sluggishly from that unexpectedly vivid Shiver.
"Did you see it?"
>"Yeah I saw it. You were right. Gotham is sick and we need to cure it. But I can't focus on two things at once, I need to handle the greenlight before we can tackle...that." (LIE)
>Unfortunately not. I wonder if you being near me is keeping me from seeing it, or maybe it's hiding from me. But I believe what you saw. That being said it'll be hard to help you when I'm being hunted. We need to put a cap on this Mole and Green light situation.
>"I didn't see what you talked about, but I saw.. I saw the moon fall out of the sky? It crashed into the Bay. Maybe it has something to do with your dream, we could look into it together. IF you can help me."
>"None of your business. I came to talk about bigger problems. Now, I've listened to you talk dreams but, if we're really friends I need you to step up and prove it. Help me stop the green light."
>Write-In
Anyone concerned about something they suggested not getting in yet. The chat isn't over so it'll have it's chance, I just needed to have this in here to steer things a touch.
