You have been through something like this before?

[That gets her attention.]

[keybearer]

A ton of people have.

[He folds his arms, sighing through his nose.]

It happened more than a year ago; everyone got dragged into each other's dreams. A bit busier than this, and there weren't any machines involved, but the similarity's uncanny.

[no_longer_a_king]

I see. I have only been here for about a year, so it is definitely before my time.

[Though she does look concerned.]

How did everyone wind up in one another's dreams if the machinery here was not involved?

[keybearer]

Pretty sure somebody spiked the food. It's been a while, so my memory's kind of hazy, but I just grabbed some food one day and conked out, just like that.

[Heh. And then he got caught in a seemingly endless cycle of nightmares. Go figure.]

Sure beat getting hooked to a machine, though.

[no_longer_a_king]

Somehow, I'm not surprised someone messed with the food. I wonder if that's why no one has tried it during my time here.

[keybearer]

Lack of creativity? Not having the right kind of means? I've seen a shit towards more people hunting food, anyway, since all the stuff in the cafeteria's fake.

[At least monster meat isn't glamoured nutrition bars. Small blessings in a place like this.]

[no_longer_a_king]

As well as the simple fact we've had food taken away from us for days at a time and the fake food is often given the guise of things that are inedible these days.

[Hi, she's one of the hunters.]

[keybearer]

Unless it's a Zo month. At least he tries to give us real food, even if it's just stuff like pancakes and macaroni.

[But he's a kid, so Riku's willing to cut him some slack. Of the admins, he seems the tamest, anyway.]
