First Dream [Video, Open]

[fillsnightswithgold]

[Who believes in dream spirits? To anyone who does, the video screen flicks on to a smiling face framed by wild golden hair. Sandy squints at the screen for a moment, then perks up and waves once he realizes the camera's on. Everyone else? Just sees Poseidon from the top of what appears to be one of the taller buildings.]

:D !

*thumbs up* *snowflake*!

:DDD

[Unfortunately, Sandy doesn't have any practice communicating by text. The little pictures aren't very helpful to anyone who doesn't already know him, but they certainly aren't like anything else on the network, either.]

[Sandy thinks for a moment. Oh, he's never good at small talk. After a minute, he pointed at Akito through the screen, gave him a thumbs up, then a question mark popped up over his head.]

[akito]

Ah... How am I doing?

[fillsnightswithgold]

[Oh, yes, exactly! Sandy replies with a big grin and a nod.]</small?

[akito]

I'm alright. How are you doing?

[fillsnightswithgold]

[Sandy sighs heavily - and silently, of course - and holds his head, spirals forming in dancing ring around his hair. This place is so confusing! He's still working everything out.]

[akito]

Ah... You're still confused? [ a pause, then more quietly - as if he's telling a secret. ] I've been here for a while and still find everything very confusing.

[Sandy shrugs sheepishly, then listens with a sober expression. At the confession, he places a hand on his chest and looks relieved. So it's not just him!]

[akito]

I can try to answer questions you have, if you want me to.

[Sandy spreads his hands wide. Where to even begin? But then he smiled and bobbed in a little bow, thanking the boy for the kind offer. Jack seemed to have been quite fond of him, so naturally the Sandman would hold Akito in the same regard. He trusted his friend's judgement.

[akito]

You're welcome! [ though he says it in a tone that indicates he's not exactly confident in his interpretation. ] If you think of anything let me know, ne?

[fillsnightswithgold]

[You get a thumbs up, Akito! Once Sandy finds a way to actually ask all of the questions whirling around in his skull, he'll certainly ask the boy, first.]
