Ivy Post-dream Log

Who: Ivy and people who live on a train (special guests Inigo and Raven)
When: The day after the dream event
Where: All over the train
What: Ivy is just really happy to not be trapped in a cave.
Warnings: None, for now.

The morning after that night of strange, overlapping dreams, Ivy is positively radiant. Almost entirely visible, she flies through the train, laughing and singing to herself. She stops occasionally to look out the window (even if there's not much to see) or to flag down strangers, shaking their hand and introducing herself, or at least favoring them with a cheerful how-do-you-do. It's a far cry from the weird, slightly-nervous ghost she was yesterday.

It's not like the dream she had was good. On the contrary, it was the worst thing she could have possibly imagined. However, waking up from that dream served onto to really drive home that her nightmare is over - she'll never see that cave again. This is real life, and it's a thousand times better than what came before it. So, she'll celebrate by reveling in the good cheer that being around people in a new environment affords her.

Private for Inigo
If she's more uncertain about anything, it's talking to this person. They barely know each other, but that only makes it harder to start up a conversation, after all the things she said in the dream.

Eventually she does track him down, though, and work up the courage to approach.

"Excuse me... Inigo, right? Are you busy?"

Private for Raven or people who look like Raven
On the other hand, this is a much easier encounter. After asking a few people to get a general description to go off of, her search for Raven begins.

To each Raven candidate: "Hello! Your name wouldn't happen to be Raven, would it?"

A month is not a long time compared to how long she's been in there!

But if there is anything Inigo doesn't want to do, it's making people recall painful memories. If Ivy wants to put it behind them, then that's all for the better. If she was so miserable in there, he doesn't want her to have to think about it.

"Right. And what does the past matter when there is so much to do in the present?"

Very hypocritical coming from someone who lingers on the past all the time, but sshh, no one has to know.

"If anything, we should go do something fun right now to make up for those strange dreams."
flatteries: (yeah that's how it goes)

"You mean you haven't found the fun here yet?" He seems surprised by this, but not in a very genuine matter - but at least it seems to be on purpose. Like he's just exaggerating surprise to seem dramatic. A moment later it's already faded right back into a smile.

"Surely you have seen the game room, right? Can you play any of the games there? If not, I am sure we can find some way to make it work for you!"
flatteries: (so smile right before you fall)

"Oh, those things?"

Maybe it would have been easier to ask someone else. Inigo may have been here for a while now, but he still hasn't fully grown into some technology expert. There's just so much of it to all try to take in at once on this train..

"From what I have heard, you are supposed to put them on and they make it seem as if you are truly inside of the game. As if it were magic!"
flatteries: (we hide inside of us)

Ivy, you have no idea how happy you're making him just by saying that.. Inigo was starting to feel like he was the only one out of touch with all this modern technology here. He nods along enthusiastically with what she says.

"Right, now you are speaking my language! I thought the exact same thing, but so many people here seem to treat these things as if they're normal!" Can you imagine? "However, they do seem to be safe, so you should give it if a try if it seems fun to you."
