There are so many different gates here too. Do you have a favorite place here?

It's tough for a traveler to stay in one place for too long.

[nonmagicuser]

Anything that gets me out for a bit. Though, I must say the candy trees have been quite fun.

It's better than wondering if I'd end up on a little journey of my own in the midst of all this, and apparently horrifically traumatized.

[fightolive]

Is that what you expected the afterlife to be? Something horrific?

[nonmagicuser]

The fade- our worlds afterlife is.... well, I suppose unkind is a good way to put it. So to experience something far kinder-

[ well. to a point ]

It's a bit of a surprise.

[fightolive]

... It's mostly kinder. This is more "myself" than I thought death would be. Minus all the possession and temptations.

[nonmagicuser]

Yeah? I take it you must have expected something different as well.

[fightolive]

I didn't really have a concept of an afterlife. I thought it would just be the end of "me".

[nonmagicuser]

Turns out 'the end' is really more of an idea than a true farewell.

[ wryly ]

Just what I've always wanted.

[fightolive]

[That does make her laugh.]

While we're still here, we should try to enjoy it.

[nonmagicuser]

Reasons I've taken to wandering. Where else will you find a forest made out of candy outside some child's dream?

[fightolive]

Even sweet dreams aren't so literal. The candy trees are pretty fun.

[nonmagicuser]

'Sweet Dreams'? Something tells me that's not as literal as a candy village.

[fightolive]

Oh, no it's a place in Penacony. The Sweet Dream is administrated by the Family.

Is is literally a dream, you have to be asleep to enter it.

[nonmagicuser]

[ goes through about three levels of internal grief ]

I don't even know if I should be surprised somebody's managed to harness such a thing. You couldn't pay me enough gold to willingly enter the realm of dreams and nightmares.

[ unwillingly though... ]

[fightolive]

It's mostly good dreams... But I don't usually sleep or dream, so it's painful for me to enter.

[nonmagicuser]

[ blinks down at her ]

That's a first. The painful bit, I've heard of others who don't dre- you don't sleep either?

[ WAIT HOLD ON A MINUTE HERE- ]

[fightolive]

No? I just need a few moments of rest and then I'm full of energy.

Do you know somebody else like me?

[nonmagicuser]

[ rearranges his entire worldview??????¿¿¿ ]

I- well, not entirely. Those who don't have a connection to the fade don't dream. The only ones I know offhand who are like that are dwarves.

[ ARE YOU A DWARF IN DISGUISE, FIREFLY ]

Though I'm very well aware they do like their sleep though.

[fightolive]

[SHE DOESNT KNOW WHAT A DWARF IS]

Being able to dream is... Tied to your species? I've never heard of that before.

[nonmagicuser]

Either tied to your specices or tied to your ability to access the fades magic. I'm not nearly enough of a scholar on the subject to go that deeply into the matter however.

[fightolive]

I don't know anything about magic, personally. But there are so many people out there in the cosmos. Maybe one of the planets knows more about it.

[ Silver Wolf's whole deal probably looks like magic, even if it's more tech. ]

[nonmagicuser]

Given the lot of us, it wouldn't surprise me to know. Maker knows before this simply the idea of being up in the skies would have been nothing more than a dream itself.

[fightolive]

Flying? Or traveling through the stars?

[nonmagicuser]

[ laughs in medieval ]

Unless you were a lucky one who could turn into a dragon, anything above ground level was rather impossible.

...Though now I wonder if dragons can fly throughout the stars.

[fightolive]

It might depend on the dragon? I haven't met a lot of them personally.
