Week Two

[letsplayamod]

Okay, maybe it hasn't been so easy. You've been enjoying a relatively pleasant time here with your fellow gods and Athena, only for a disgruntled Titan to seemingly pull the rug out from under that.

Despite the immediate threat from a hidden foe, you've managed to stave off their first attack. However, even if the grass may seem greener this week, or the sky a bit clearer, Athena can barely hide her troubled feelings. If this experiment is to be a success, what has to happen to make it that way?

You're all alive, though. That's worth celebrating, isn't it?

Quark's Bar

Comments

[latinumsbetter]

What are you--you're going to get their attention! [Quark's voice climbs up the octave, up to a shriek, as that definitely does get their attention. These guys definitely don't like their weapons being wrenched away, so they're going to change their trajectory, running towards the bar and Luna specifically.

At the same time, the bar is also suddenly filled with several of that same biped. It turns out, some of the guests were these creatures in disguise! Which logically does NOT make sense, but, well, this is a dream. Fortunately, Luna is Luna so she'll probably be able to hold her own with her magic, but also there are a lot of them and they all have some sort of device (it's a phaser rifle) that make that same sort of sound they heard earlier. Luna will probably recognize this loud and clear as one of the phaser rifles goes off, shattering some bottles of alcohol on the shelves behind the bar.]

Who are they? Are your people at war?

[ Luna is not especially inclined to get into a huge fight with a bunch of dream-constructs right here in front of Quark's bar. She simply starts shooting them with magic to banish them directly. Their shots don't have any affect on her, at least; she knows what they are. ]

I might have come sooner, had I known people here were having nightmares like this!

[latinumsbetter]

The Jem'Hadar, and of course we're at war! [snapped, but it's distracted, as he's looking for a way around as Luna starts to take them out with magic] Anyway, everyone has nightmares. [he has not processed yet that this is NOT part of his dream. Probably because he's too focused on:]

I-I gotta find Nog!

[since Luna seems to be distracting the Jem'Hadar pretty handily, he's darting out from behind the bar and running for the back rooms--yelping a bit as he barely dodges some blaster fire on the way]

[raisethemoon]

[ Well, it's silly to stay here and let the actual dreamer run off! Luna considers, then just lets the dream dissolve behind her as she trots after Quark. ]

He will be well! It is only a nightmare, frightening or not!

[latinumsbetter]

Easy for you to say! [snapped, not looking behind him as he passes through the back room and is in...a cave of some kind. There's more sounds of blaster fire ahead, though--Quark stops, suddenly, as if he's finally had the chance to process what Luna's saying, and he half turns back to her]

Wait--repeat that?

[raisethemoon]

This is your dream!

[ She'd thought he was at least slightly aware! ]

If you take control of it, there needn't be...those things at all.

[latinumsbetter]

[HE UH...VERY MUCH WAS NOT. Quark stares at her a moment]

Take control of it. And how do I do that, exactly? [just because he's aware it's a dream now doesn't mean he can control it. Which doesn't make the blaster fire coming closer any more comforting.]

[raisethemoon]

It is your own mind! If you think something, you can simply allow it to be!

[ Maybe not a great mechanical explanation, but that's what she's got! ]

[latinumsbetter]

What, just like that? [He glances down the cave, where the blaster fire is getting louder]

You make it sound easy. [it's a gripe, but--] Okay, okay, in that case, let's just make the Jem'hadar...go away! [he says that loudly, hands spreading out in front of him.]

[....]

[...yeah, no, there's still blaster fire.]

Why didn't that work?! [he's looking a bit frantically at Luna.]
