[Jade's been having some pretty darn restful sleep recently.]

It seems everyone has been having nightmares, recently. Is there anyone like myself who hasn't?

[It's likely a castle thing, but Jade just wants to see if there's correlation between the people who haven't had the nightmares.]

I just had a very long nap.

And here I was starting to feel singled out.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I don't think we're missing a terrible amount, not having nightmares.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

How bad could it have been?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I suppose it depends on the person. Some people have terribly active imaginations.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I think some people would think it is, but most consider it a gift.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

And what would you consider it to be?

[madetosin]

I seem to have been left out of the fun as well.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Oh my, I'm sure you're just weeping at the thought.

[madetosin]

Clearly. [Really, he probably lost whatever ability he had to cry along with most of his soul]

I wonder why we were excluded.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I was attempting to figure that out, actually. Unfortunately, amongst those of us who were excluded, there's no real reason, save for us being male. If any females were exempt, they didn't make it known to me.

[madetosin]

Probably just a coincidence. Gender is too wide of a criteria.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Indeed. I'd imagine it was more random happenstance. The Castle never seems to be too choosy with who is and isn't afflicted.

[wheatdos]

M-maybe... the castle is telling you that your entire life is a nightmare, mate.

[A chuckle... then a pause.]

That... that was a joke. Ehe.

[He's still friendly, considering he doesn't know who you are...]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I wouldn't be entirely surprised.

[He does chuckle at him, amused at the joke.]

Or maybe Paradisa is one big nightmare and I'm not deep in sleep enough to have a second one.

[You'll learn eventually and hate him even more. 8D]

[wheatdos]

Maybe. Eitherway it's an impressive feat.
Must be boring though. Having nothing to speak about.
Everyone else's got all these stories and such.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I have things to speak about, I simply don't share.

[wheatdos]

Oh-oh, really?
What about towards friends?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Nothing at all. I'm a boring old man, I'm afraid.

[onlyanapple]

I went nightmare free, too. But that's in my nature so I can't say I'm surprised.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Interesting. It's only a very few who didn't experience the nightmares.

I suppose you're thankful for your inability to get them?

[onlyanapple]

Given I had the entirety of human history to choose from, never mind memories from the pits of Hell...which are often the same thing, if you really think about it.

Yes. Yes I am. [For other people's sake, a little more than his own]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Fortune favors you, I'm sure.

[Of course he's being rather sarcastic about that.]

[onlyanapple]

It always has.

[And he'll be quite serious here, yep]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Oh? And what would you say of your entrapment in Paradisa?
