	Hey man. Welcome back to the land of the living. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	~~Sweet merciful Budd~~ ~~Oh thank God, you notic~~ Hey. Uhm. Not to seem late to the party or anything but what is going on? One minute I was somewhere and then the next minute I'm not there and everyone's asleep? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Honestly, we're not really sure, but it seems like everyone's stuck in some kind of huge collective dream. We've been waking up, though -- Johnny, Laurie, Luce, and Laura are all up too. We're patrolling the place just to make sure everything is under control, so we've got the place locked down. Don't worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's more than just dreaming, I think. I can't get through to people. Can I do anything to help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, it definitely is. More than just sleeping, unless there's some kind of sleep that keeps you alive for a few weeks without food or water. We're trying to keep people hydrated and I guess the more people awake, the shorter watches we can keep, so yeah. Where are you, your room? Come meet up with us in the common room and we can work you in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's like there's nothing in them to connect to, either. Like their bodies are here, but their minds aren't. It's kind of creepy. Yeah, that's where I woke up. I'll be right down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 04:08 am UTC (link)
	That...really is. It's good we've got a telepath up too, we didn't know that. Christ. So you think this probably is some kind of telepathic attack? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not really a telepath. I mean I'm a psion, but I've really got only one ability that lets me know what's going on in anyone's mind. So I guess I'm maybe half a telepath. Anyway, I guess it sort of has to be? Everyone's kind of lights on, nobody home. Usually if I try to link up with someone and they're just sleeping I get dumped into their dreams or something. This is...I don't know. I think if I think on it too much I might kind of have a freakout.

	Hey Artie, it's cool. Don't worry about it, we've got it under control so far and we're not going to let anything else weird happen. Just come on down and join us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm on my way now. Blackberries are a wonderful invention. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Good, another person. Things'll be right as rain soon enough, we just gotta wait this out ~~and hope no one attacks~~. There's food in he kitchen if'n you're hungry. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, good. I was afraid I was going to have to try cooking to help out and poison everyone inadvertently. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Welcome back. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	$arthur P! maddicks: [:\] i'm not sure i like this$ worthathousand 2009-09-14 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, Laura. Did you get sucked into all this too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	photosynth 2009-09-14 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. It must have started before I went back to school. I mean, I haven't actually called anyone at Sarah Lawrence to ask if they've seen me around, but I'm pretty sure I dreamed about two weeks' worth of classes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Looks like I didn't actually go to orientation after all. I bet the professors who kindly gave me my scholarship are thrilled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worthathousand 2009-09-14 05:25 am UTC (link)
	That's just ridiculous. I guess that makes for a small part of me that's glad I'm not in college after all, jeez. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 05:29 am UTC (link)
	Hopefully I'll be able to work it out with them. I mean, they know I'm a mutant, and technically I thought I experienced orientation -- maybe I didn't actually miss anything, they just missed me. Or something. I'm more pissed off that I lost the rolls of film I took. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worthathousand 2009-09-14 05:36 am UTC (link)
	I always figured "I experienced a mass hallucination for two weeks" was one of those things you couldn't really explain to the normal populace. I'm sorry about the film. Maybe you'll find something equally nice to fill it up with again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 05:42 am UTC (link)
	...Well when you put it like that. There's no such thing as equally nice in photographs, especially if they're candids. You kind of catch it or you don't. Whatever. I'm not even going to deal with the school stuff until this is over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worthathousand 2009-09-14 06:10 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure it will work out somehow. I figure if there's anything these things do for it, it's make us resourceful, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 06:12 am UTC (link)
	You optimist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frick_frack 2009-09-14 06:41 am UTC (link)
	You've got us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worthathousand 2009-09-14 06:51 am UTC (link)
	...yeah. Yeah, I do. Thanks, King. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	shrinkingviolet 2009-09-14 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	Don't worry King, I'm sure we can get Madelyne or Val to write you a doctor's note when they wake up. You might just have to pretend you've been ill for two weeks with Swine Flu or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now there's an excuse I haven't used yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shrinkingviolet 2009-09-15 02:16 pm UTC (link)
	Which is handy because it's one that people aren't likely to argue with. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You're a genius. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Artie, really glad you're up. Sending a few bottles of water to meet you. I've been trying to get them into everyone's rooms. (Reply to this)
