Video: Saturday, Week 54

[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?

[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.

[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.

[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.

[infourbooks]

[He shakes his head]

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

[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.

[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.

[infourbooks]

Thank you for being honest.

[unofficial_ambassador]

I'll let you know when I have more information. In the meantime, if you're worried about anything, you can always come to me.
