You're dreaming about each other's deaths. Some of you are dreaming about deaths on the Barge.

That means some of you might dream about deaths that I caused. [ Allison, Touko. ]

I'm a killer. I can't change that. But I'm sorry for what I did, and I try not to hurt people anymore.

...that's all.

[ He comes back on later. ]

In the greenhouse, I'll be making a cloud of Soothing. It should calm more turbulent emotions. If anyone wants that, you can come there.

I never, ever blamed you for killing me. I admit, I was pissed off that you tried to kill Stiles, but I got past that ages ago.

[She lowers her gaze for a moment, then peeks up from staring at her hands with a small smile.]

Pretty much during that port full of the teddy bear people, when you dumped an armful of Kel on me. It's hard not to forgive people when there's a big ball of bunny cuddling up against your chest.

...it was a little manipulative.

[ He smiles, a little. ]

[theresalwayshope]

It was downright conniving. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Her eyes are sparkling with amusement...and Duchess chooses that moment to make her presence known, peeking out from behind Allison's neck, nosing out from under her hair. She has clearly been making herself at home, napping on the back of the couch just behind Allison's head, but now feels compelled to investigate the voice on the other side of the feed.]

[ That draws a real smile, but he quickly sobers. ] I'm worried about the people dreaming. I don't want more people to be afraid of me.

Private

[myironeyes]

If you want it done for you. Let me know.

Private

[godsays]

No... I don't seem to be dreaming like everyone else.

Thank you.

[hellofist]

Will you be there? In the greenhouse?

[Or is he making his clouds and then leaving? The distinction is very important.]

[godsays]

[ He straightens up; a little smile. ] I have to be there for it to work.

[hellofist]

Good. You're half the fun.

[Abruptly she turns off her feed, but it's only because she's more interested in seeing him in person quickly than talking over the comms. Cass is glad to see that smile, but seeing it face to face would be much better. With everything going on right now, with the content of his first message, a smile is good. It doesn't take long for her to get to the greenhouse and when she does, she opens up the door and immediately looks for him.]

Zane?

[darknessb4me]

A cloud of what?

[godsays]

Soothing. It calms emotions, in general.

[darknessb4me]

Does it do anything else?

[godsays]

Only half?

[ He knows why she hangs up.

He can be found under some of the unseasonably blooming fruit trees, stubborn and strange things they are. ]

I'm here.

[godsays]

No, just that. And the effect ends when I'm not there anymore.

[hellofist]

[She knew he would. They are the same, after all. So many similarities, so many things that matched up too well. She can feel the effects of his soothing cloud almost immediately as she approaches and it has the tension leaving her shoulders, she gives him a small smile as she reaches his side.]

Maybe more than half. It was good, to do this. To make something... to calm people.

[punched_hitler]

How's it work? That Soothing thing.

[He doesn't think he needs it, but he knows a couple of people he should send your way.

Then, after a minute,] A lot of us are killers. There's a reason you're a warden. [So remember that.]

[darknessb4me]

...I'm coming up.

[godsays]

It makes emotions less strong. I can focus and target it, or just act generally in an area.

...I know. I just didn't want people to be more afraid of me.

[godsays]

Really?

[godsays]

I thought it might be a bad idea - to tell people I can do that.

[ There are some wildflowers below their feet. He reaches down and picks one, carefully, and offers it to her. ]

[hellofist]

[There's no hesitation in receiving the flower, just Cass twirling it in her fingers before lifting it up to smell it.]

You want to do something... about what people are seeing. Something to make it easier. There's nothing bad... about that idea.

[Now she tucks the flower into her hair, just above her ear.]

How's it look?

Private

[myironeyes]

It doesn't have to be for the dreams.

[He soothes people rarely; doesn't really like doing it. But he has, for people in need. He would do it for Zane, and Zane is struggling right now.]

spam/assume?

[darknessb4me]

Yes.

Private

[godsays]

[ A little smile. ] I'm only worried. Not suffering.

either's cool with me!

[godsays]

Sylvanas doesn't like plants.

[ He's just surprised that Arthas would go there when Sylvanas wouldn't. He'd thought maybe it was a zombie thing.]
