Video: Saturday, Week 54

[infourbooks]

[Neville looks really tired. He's not sure about asking this, but the problem isn't getting any better on its own. So he needs to ask. Even if it's a pretty uncomfortable question.]

Does anyone know a good way to... get rid of bad dreams? Or just not dream?

[He hesitates a bit before adding the next part]

Or how to tell if a dream means something? Divination has never really been my strong suit...

Action

[infourbooks]

[Neville doesn't like the sound of that. But he's not entirely surprised it's going to be unpleasant.

He grimaces a bit as he sits down.]

What is it?

Re: Action

[unofficial_ambassador]

[She really should sit again, but Inara finds herself pacing instead.]

I know what you're seeing. The murder victims, the dead soldiers, the wasteland, all of it. I'm seeing it too. I think it's a remnant of our time in this planet's future. Do you remember the two locals, Roland and Alina? They're from the ship, like us. His power is a form of biological mind control.

[She hadn't wanted to involve Neville in all of this, but it seems that Morgan has other plans.]

[infourbooks]

[Mind control. Neville knows what that means. His face goes pale at the realization.]

Like the Imperius Curse?

[The words come out before he remembers... Muggle]

It's... one of the Unforgivable Curses.

[unofficial_ambassador]

[The clarification didn't really help a lot, sorry Neville.]

Maybe. You remember what Elissa did. She said that it felt necessary. I don't know if we'd know.

[Video] (and to action perhaps? ^^ )

[anuglyman]

[In this case, he has no real reason to distrust Gold. He's really going to make him a sleeping potion that will hopefully help with dreams, since he has dealt with this sort of thing before.

And what he's getting out of it? A good look at Neville's head, which may possibly be connected to... well, everything else.]

I will come by this evening, around nine o'clock.

[And for now, he's going to get himself a potion together. He's pretty sure he has all the ingredients....]

[infourbooks]

[He'd rather not go into detail about that one anyway. The Unforgivables are... a subject.]

That... sounds like the same thing.

[unofficial_ambassador]

Haruka says that the changes are physical, he changes your brain. We may be able to detect the changes at the hospital.

[Video] (Going action works for me)

[infourbooks]

Thank you.

[He'll be around. He lives above the shop, after all]

[infourbooks]

Detect changes in my brain?

[He definitely does not like this]

[unofficial_ambassador]

[The changes are probably permanent since she's died since meeting Roland and is still having the nightmares, but Neville is a scared kid and she can't say that to him.]

I'm sorry.

[thulium]

You sound like you've been playing too many fantasy games.

[Says the large, pointy alien from the universe with the malevolent cyborg cuttlefish.]

[infourbooks]

[Neville gives him one of his trademark utterly confused looks]

Fantasy games?

[Action!]

[anuglyman]

[When Rumple shows up, it's with a long coat and a rather floppy hat that half-hides his face, keeping it in shadow. He's making sure he doesn't have to actively avoid arrest by, instead, actively avoiding being seen.

He heads into the shop, taking the hat off once he's inside.]

Anyone home? Neville?

[fromthevalley]

I see.

[ She is not liking what she is hearing. ]

Neville, I would like you to start writing down when you have these dreams and what you did the day off. If possible, perhaps we can pinpoint a trigger until I can brew something.

[infourbooks]

I can do that.

[Writing it down would be the easy part]

[fromthevalley]

Good. We'll find a way to get you through this Neville.

[Action!]

[infourbooks]

[Neville emerges from the back room. He'd decided to spend some time working while he waited]

I'm here.

[infourbooks]

[He shakes his head]

There are three things you should never use magic for. And this is one of them.

[infourbooks]

There... has to be something.

[unofficial_ambassador]

[Unforgivable curses. She probably doesn't want to know about the others.]

It's a terrible thing to do to someone. I don't know whether we can trust ourselves right now.

[fromthevalley]

There is, Neville. Do not give up hope. We will find a way to combat your nightmares.

[infourbooks]

[Not trust themselves...]

What do we do... if we can't?

[unofficial_ambassador]

I don't know.

[She's asked Haruka to keep an eye on her, but it's not a permanent solution and she's still alone long enough to wreak havoc.]

When we arrange a time to have me examined at the hospital, you should come with me. We may be able to determine whether we're dangerous.

[infourbooks]

I will.

[He takes a deep breath]

I don't want to hurt anyone.

[unofficial_ambassador]

I know. I wish I could tell you that you won't.
