[So uh....Guess who shows up...still in bed. That's riiiiiight~ Mu's still half-asleep. Come bother him. Please!]

[Amaterasu has never experienced a Western-style bed before. It is comfy! So now she's actually starting to fall asleep as well.]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Aw sleepy puppy...but now there's a saint wondering why he can't feel his feet waking up a bit]

Mmm?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She just shifts her weight a little and rests her head on his knees.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Amaterasu?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Shifts again and cracks one eye open. She smiles at Mu.] It seems that it's even possible to arrive here in one's sleep.

[lamb_of_gold]

So it would seem. This is mildly embarrassing.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Grins at him.] You make a nice pillow, though!

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm not sure if I should be flattered...

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Teasingly,] You should always be flattered when a goddess pays you a compliment~

[lamb_of_gold]

Then I will accept the complement gracefully, my lady.

[She rolls over onto her back and waves her paws in the air.] Did you dream of this place? Is that how you arrived here?

[lamb_of_gold]

I rarely dream. The last I remember was thanking Aldebaran for watching my temple while I slept awhile.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah...I suppose I rarely dream as well, since I rarely actually need sleep. Though dreams can be rather entertaining. [Contemplative headtilt.] They've been a bit off lately, though.

[lamb_of_gold]

As they have been for me, as well. It's a commonality between everyone here. Again, it has something to do with this place.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

How unpleasant. It's astounding, the amount of seemingly normal things that this place has an effect on.

[lamb_of_gold]

I believe that is because this place is fundamentally not normal.


Amaterasu, your hearing is good, correct? There is a matter that has been bothering me of late, but I'm not sure if it is only me jumping at shadows...

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It is probably so.

[Curious look.] It is. What has been bothering you?

[lamb_of_gold]

Strange sounds - like the churning of gears.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Long silence.] I thought, perhaps, that I was the only one hearing it. I hear it when I pass near the Twins' shop, and every time I dream. [Pauses.] I hear it here as well, faintly.

[lamb_of_gold]

Then it is not just I. Still it is very curious.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] It grates on the nerves. Like a mosquito you can't find, or an itch at that spot you can't reach behind your ears.

[lamb_of_gold]

It's become as white noise to me - still no replacement for the sound of wind, though.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Indeed...I tend to favor the sound of nature over the sound of machinery.

...That woman from before...she said, "Welcome to the Machine." Odd...

[lamb_of_gold]

It is likely related, but I can't imagine how...yet. It's been on my mind for quite some time.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It's all very mysterious. I assume the answers will reveal themselves as time goes on, though.
