As night falls on Baedal, the city is almost quiet. The streets have a few last minute workers returning home, but by now, most citizens have already gone by the temples and picked up their vurt, ready to lay down and dream.

After placing a not-feather in one's mouth, there's a moment where it fizzes against the tongue before sliding coolly down the back of the throat and pulling the user down into sleep. A series of impressions, more sensation than anything concrete, appears before the user and this is how one chooses which Dreamer to enter.

It's... kind of like his armor.

Except for the part where it's painted on.

And that's all he's got.

"...Ki? Uh. What's going on? Where are my pants and stuff?"

"Kiddo, you ever have one of those dreams where you show up for work naked?" Ki's arrived in this dream in a t-shirt, jeans, and barefoot, and she suspects that if she loaned him anything of hers, not only would it fail to fit but he'd be even more embarrassed.

"No, it was always school. I'd show up naked and not prepared to give a presentation."

He says this in all seriousness as he looks out over the crowd. "It was a classroom, not a stadium fulla people. The paint's new, too."

"There's a steeplechase here and everyone is going to be naked. If you don't wanna run, you don't have to," she says putting a hand on his shoulder and trying to reassure him. "If you need to wake up, you can do that too. If you think you can fit into my pants through crazy-dream logic, I'll shift and they're all yours."

"And, if you want to run, I know you'll leave 'em all in the dust."

He gives this some serious thought. (It's clear this is happening from the way his brow scrunches up a little and how his lips press together.)

"Ah, why not?" he says, shrugging, breaking into a grin. "It's all a dream, right? Might as well have fun with it, while I'm here. Where's the starting line?"
