[Alice is right. The Red Queen can't just leave people hanging like that.

After screaming into his pillow out of frustration, he's finally decided to just post to the network. No anon this time. Just angry texts.]

YOU KNOW WHAT

It's obvious the RQ is too busy to tell us what she's doing about this mess, and we can't actually trust her to be on our side if she's gonna run off like that, so I say we start preparing for the worst ourselves.

I know we have a bunch of storage rooms and a clinic, but does anyone have ideas for how to keep that thing from getting into our dreams or something? And no, I don't mean everyone put tinfoil on our heads! Unless, of course, you live in a world where that actually works. And do we still have enough fighters and superheroes for a militia?

Seriously! ANY IDEAS WILL HELP.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ACTUALLY SAYIN THIS.

[Really. He can't. He so can't believe it that he felt it necessary to type out his disbelief. Usually he's the last one to volunteer his help, but at least one part of that is uniquely suited to the odd set of skills he's picked up over the years.]

DUNNO IF YOU CAN KEEP IT OUT, BUT KNOWING HOW TO DO THAT LUCID DREAMING THING WOULD PROLLY HELP IF IT GETS IN.

Lucid dreaming... I can definitely use that.

So, when are you gonna start classes on that?

[charlastan]

WHAT? WHO SAID I WAS GONNA DO CLASSES?

[Texted like someone who is Definitely Getting Roped Into Doing Classes.]

[shslliar]

You did, obviously! After all, you did use that lucid dreaming to give yourself an edge on the Dream Side. Why don't you help the rest of us out with that?

[charlastan]

IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN ACTUALLY HOP INTO PEOPLE'S DREAMS AND SHOW EM HOW TO DO IT RIGHT. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, JUST WATCH EVERYONE SLEEP LIKE A CREEP?

KY
You could at least try to give us some useful tips or exercises to try the next time we go to sleep!

[charlastan]

LOOK, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT, ALRIGHT?

TOOK ME YEARS OF BOREDOM AND DESPERATION TO GET ANY GOOD AT IT, SO I DUNNO IF IT'LL EVEN BE WORTH IT ANYWAY.
