Jacinda runs into Albtraum again, and asks a few questions.

You said before that you overhear prayers, before people go to sleep. That a lot of us ask "why me?"

Do you ever get tired of hearing it? All our complaints and sorrows?

Albtraum says,
Nein, your sorrows are beautiful. It says to me there is still hope, and passion, and desire.

Or... Jason Todd insists that no really they are friends, and shares a story of pain and terror with a creature who feeds on terror.

14-August-2022:

The second part of the story is told after Jacinda experiences a nightmare at the hands of a Mare, and Albtraum scares the other creature off.

Jacinda has wandered into a different liminal space, accessible since the Dreamwide Shift -- a place called the Nexus. A nightmare walks into the same tavern in the Nexus.

"Good evening," a heavily accented voice, deep baritone smooth and piercing as aged whiskey. Eyes look outward and head tips up toward nowhere in particular. "What brings you back to a feeling of home?"

Currently, Jacinda is sipping at a single bottle of beer and watching the other patrons of the tavern. Maybe zie is looking for someone that zie won't find here.

In any case, the question draws Jacinda's attention. "I've had a lot of homes," zie answers, "but they never last."


Or... Jason Todd is a nerd who quotes poetry at a nightmare, and ends up making a friend.
