12th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

Damn it, I think Zelos is in a sleep coma again. He's not the only one, either. Colette's still asleep- [At least that's what he thinks. He's a little out of the loop, completely unaware that he'd been in a sleep coma, too.] -and Dino was in one, and Zack's friend, and other people. It's like they're contagious or something.

Is that what's really going on? Are people just getting sick with something we've never heard about?

[Man, now he really wishes Professor Raine was here. Even if she didn't know how to heal it, he knows she could figure out what it is. Then maybe they could figure out what to do from there.]

I've been thinking about it ever since I got here. When I went through the Otherworldly Gate, that's where it brought me, too. That's why I think that's the best place to look for a Gate that will take people home. I'm keeping my eye out for any other clues, though. That's why I keep asking people about it.

Um...

[Lloyd suddenly looks a little sheepish.]

I don't know what the date was before I went to bed.

[redcladidealist]

I don't know. I haven't asked.

[He's been sort of avoiding it, actually. Not that the possibility hasn't been on his mind. Just the thought ties his stomach in knots.]

You... really think that might happen?

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

It's a good idea. Is there anything I can help with?

[redcladidealist]

Yeah. I hope so, too. [Because he completely agress with you there.]

I'll let people know if I find anything out.

[redcladidealist]

[Not helping yet, Rise. Lloyd still looks like a puppy that's been kicked. Or maybe like someone told him his best friend is going to die.]

But if you're just a dream, that's even worse than you being gone when I wake up. It means you never existed. I just... made you up.

[redcladidealist]

Keep a look out for any strange lights or energy, especially in Espoir. Better yet, if you see someone actually come into Somarium, or see someone leave, let me know. And I don't mean just seeing someone new, I mean actually seeing how they got here. That's what we're really looking for. A way back home.

And anything that might help cure a sleep coma.

[She nodded, taking note of everything.] Okay! I'll do my best.

[Jin nods. He would appreciate any info he could get on this place.]

Alright.

[redcladidealist]

Thanks, Belgium! Good luck!

[redcladidealist]

See you later then, um...

[Actually, he doesn't know Jin's name.]

[uncute-one.livejournal.com]

It's certainly a very large possibility, at least with real comas. But, since this seems to be a magical sleep of some sort, then normal rules would probably not apply.

[popstar]

[She's familiar with that look. Yosuke used to have that look on his face at times.]

You did not make me up, Lloyd. And I'm sure it's the same with everyone else.

[iceblades.livejournal.com]

Jin Kisaragi. [He figures he might as well ask.] Who are you?

[redcladidealist]

Lloyd Irving. Nice to meet you.

[iceblades.livejournal.com]

[He responds with a nod. Jin's not too great with greetings.] I'll try to remember your name.

[redcladidealist]

Yeah. Same here.

Anyway, I gotta go. Bye, Jin!

[iceblades.livejournal.com]

Farewell, Lloyd.

[redcladidealist]

But you just said that everyone is a dream.

[You're confusing him, Rise. He doesn't get what you mean.]

[redcladidealist]

I hope that's the case. I don't want anyone to be stuck sleeping forever like that. That's almost as bad as if they weren't alive at all. When they're asleep, they don't get to live.

[popstar]

I meant in a dream. Our memories from before Somarium and whatever memories we've made here can't be made up.

[She refuses to believe that all the friends she's made here and everything they've gone through could've all been a dream.]

[redcladidealist]

In a dream? You mean, not dreaming, but inside it? [He blinks.] Is that possible?

[Please say yes. He wants to believe this is real. That Rise's real, and everyone he's met.]

But if it's a dream, whose is it?

[popstar]

It might just be a dream for everyone who got here through their sleep. Like I said, I'm really not sure. I'm not the Overlord here, Lloyd.

[She may not have all the answers but she hoped that she could at least be reassuring to her friend.]

But I'm still sure that at least everyone is real.

[redcladidealist]

...Overlord? [His brow furrows as he searches his memory.] I've heard that word used before, but no one's said who it is.

[Still, he smiles, feeling better already.]

Good. My friends are the most important thing to me in the world. I want you all to exist.

[popstar]

I haven't seen her around for a while now. But if she's still around, I really think she's the one pulling the strings here...

[She smiles back, glad that he seems to be feeling better.]

Aww. That's really sweet of you, Lloyd. You're just as important to me too.
