[wicka]

I mean yea it's weird
Wouldn't she get pissed if u married someone else?

[temujackie]

yeah, she would

do you and theo fight about dumb stuff?

[wicka]

Sometimes
Yea

[ 99.9% of the fights are thanks to Dom being dumb about managing his emotions ]

He doesn't let me stay mad for long though

[temujackie]

really? how

[wicka]

I dunno
He always wants to make things right
Even when I'm the one who messed up
He talks it out with me and stuff

[ ....,. ]

I kinda punched him the first time we met

[temujackie]

that's really nice
like, it's sweet

lol what?? why??

[wicka]

Yea he's
He's really sweet
U guys would get along

He didn't recognize me
Because he'd never met me
But I didn't know that was a thing so I thought he was being an asshole
Then I just got really angry [ hurt ] that my boyfriend had no idea who I was
So I punched him

[temujackie]

I've talked to him a little bit. he's really nice

oh
i mean that seems reasonable to me? [ it's not like he pointed a rifle at theo ]

[wicka]

[ :o ]

What did u guys talk about?

It does?
He was pretty pissed off
Still let me apologize though

[temujackie]

oh, i was [ and suddenly it occurs to her that maybe she should have said something to dom about this earlier? oops ]
messaging people who'd been in other places like this one before to try and figure out if they had anything in common, or any ideas about how they were jumping between universes
he commented to a post on the network about it so he was one of the people i texted

[wicka]

What did u find out?

[temujackie]

nothing really

one person told me she doesn't think anyone can control it no matter what

[wicka]

Probably not...
But maybe the point isn't to control it

[temujackie]

what do you mean?

[wicka]

Maybe we need to understand it
If Nat really did see a heart then it means something's alive
And... u know
U can't really control something that's alive
But maybe u can get it to do what u want
Like [ uhh ] a wolf or something

[temujackie]

maybe you're right
natalie is a good person and it showed her the heart
maybe it wants us to understand it. and if we understand it, we can use it

[wicka]

Yea

[ ... ]

I went looking for it
With Nat's help

Sort of looking

[temujackie]

did you find anything?

[wicka]

Kinda
Nothing we could use or talk to or whatever
Just this sense that this thing that's alive... we're in it, I think
Or at least it's all around us
And it feels pain
What Nat did to it was pretty bad
It had to heal for a while
It's probably done by now

[temujackie]

i don't want to like... hurt it
do you?

i really just want to figure out a way to take jackie with us when we leave

[wicka]

Not really
But I wanna talk to it
I think I figured out a way to do it too

It's what I've been working on for months now
Learning dream magic?
I think I'm getting pretty good at it

At first it was to try to reach the people who've gone home
But now I'm gonna figure out if this place dreams and go there

[temujackie]

wow, dom
do you think that's like... safe?

[wicka]

I don't know
But at least no one will get hurt if it doesn't work

[ Maybe just Dom. ]

[temujackie]

i guess not
but i don't want you to get stuck inside the house's fucked up nightmare or like
lobotomized by it
or something

[wicka]

There's other people here who can access dreams
They can pull me out

[ He doesn't want to add 'probably' and worry Melissa, but it's on his mind. He also doesn't know that Lanfear isn't around anymore. ]

I think I have to do this
No one else is coming up with anything
We tried to leave and

[ He killed people. He died. He woke up as a demon, went on a rampage for a week, and then - he was right back where he'd started. ]

Doesn't matter
Whatever happens to me can't be worse than what we've been through
