    The dreams are the same:

    A crooner sings on the phonograph, accompanied to a pleasant scratchy sound. Its Edna's, only an Edna's from another time. The wood panelling is darker and richer. Plants hang in baskets, stand in corners, festoon the walls. The decor is modern, lush, and sumptuous.

    She reclines on a settle, her hair cut in the latest bob. Ear rings glitter droplets of coloured glass. Her had is poised, long cigarette held in a cunningly crafted holder. Its hard to tell if she is really intent on smoking it or simply crafting a pose for some unseen audience.

    Women laugh. But where they are you cannot see.

    Laconically, she shifts. "What are you up to, my darlings?"


    And:

    A brazen sky. Red dust in the air. Red suns. Red sand. Red rock.

    Only the towers are black. Resinous glass. Matte black. The angles are wrong. The towers loom and they leer over the landscape casting shadowy spirals.

    The hug the cool walls and they sing to one another. Sing without sand. Scuttle and slither. Stilted steps. Precise placement. Alien.

    The sleep in the heat and they dream.

    Mhairi fought back a yawn as she thought about sipping her coffee instead of stirring it with a spoon. But as soon as the impulse fired, more important things tumbled over it.

    Dreams...maybe she should try finding an actual Motley with a Dream patrol clause and a schedule...or maybe replace Ava's water logged books on Oneiromancy, pick up a Dream contract...something.

    Because there was something very, very wrong with the Autumn Queen's Dreams.

    Staring at slowly swirling vortex within her coffee mug, she pulls the spoon out, and places it on s towel.

    Taking that first sip of overly sweet and tepid coffee, Mhairi wondered if she was the only one who's Dreams were being messed with.

    With the second sip she let herself wonder after just who, or what was doing the messing.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    Sera wasn’t used to having bad dreams, it hadn’t happened since she escaped.

    The hot water of the shower felt good and helped wash some of the sleep from her eyes. She stood in the shower a few extra minutes, eyes closed as she tried to sort through the dream. Did it have any meaning? It felt like it did…it felt real. And that is what unnerved her the most, how real it felt. The sound of the slithering still fresh in her head and caused a chill to race up her spine.

    Throwing on a tank top and sweat pants, her long hair still wet, she headed for the kitchen. Maybe some coffee or food would help her figure out the dream.

    Still groggy, she spots Mhairi, who looks as tired as she did.

    Feet shuffle as a hand was raised, “Hey, you look like you slept as awful as I did.” She wasn’t trying to be rude, but the Elemental looked tired too. Sapphire eyes then begin the search for coffee.

    Morgan hadn't opted to walk down the stairs and get coffee to wake herself up. Not having enjoyed her night, she decided to go for a habitual pick me up: she jumped out the window. Well she did climb down the side of the house, not dive into the back yard.

    That didn't do it, the adrenaline didn't sharpen her mind enough. And she was outside in pajama pants and a t-shirt. She came in through the back door and entered the kitchen. Stumbling in, she went to a cabinet and pulled out some dried jerky that she started to munch on.

    Finally noticing the room was occupied, she groggily let out a muffled sound: "Nnnggaaaa?" the noise turning curious at the end.

    Sera ad Mhairi both looked the worse for wear. Morgan chewed through what was in her mouth and swallowed. "Mornin-ink. Deduce nary a soul heh here did had a restive sleep?"

    Alex is off today, and he'd planned to sleep in. But after that dream... not an option. After half an hour of pointless tossing and turning he gets up, showers, dresses and heads downstairs. It smells like there's already coffee on... He finds the others looking as ragged as he feels.

    "Good morning, folks. Do I sense a pattern developing here?"

    To human eyes he looks slightly taller than average, with a lean, athletic build. His brown skin gives away his Mohawk ancestry, complementing his equally brown eyes and dark hair. He displays a military-styled haircut, shorter to the sides, and sports a few scars across his body and a particularly visible one in the form of claw marks across his face and neck. A very intense scent of forest, a mixing of pine needles, tree sap, and animal fur, characterizes him.
    Mien

    Those who can see through the Mask observe black-and-white feathers to the sides of his face, that fuse seamlessly with his skin and hairline and close to his golden eyes. His teeth are unusually sharp, displaying fangs that are hard to categorize as belonging to a specific predator, although they most closely resemble a wolf's or some other canine's.

    He worked night shifts more often than not, so he was already up by the time he heard the voices outside. He was thankful to be woken up, for once. He had sat down for a little shuteye and the nightmares had not taken long to arrive, but these were not the usual sort. To those he had gotten used to, to the point they barely registered anymore. Disturbed, he rose and walked outside, still wearing jeans and a jacket from when he had returned from the Blue Note.

    "Hey, y'all," he wondered whether he had caught them by surprise. He didn't stay at Edna's all that often, and when he did he made it a point to avoid being noticed. "You all look terrible." He took a quick look around and noticed who was in the room, exactly. "Actually, that's just Alex. Sorry, ladies. Is there coffee here somewhere?"

    One by one the Lost of Edna's are drawn to the Autumn Queen...and the coffee she brewed.

    One by one Mhairi pointed a drippy finger towards the pot of coffee, quietly sipping on her own tepid over-sweet brew.

    To Sera she nods. Acknowledgement of the fact. To Morgan, she says, "I don't think so.". To Alex, "I do believe you do.". To Nathan, a smile and a careless gesture to where the caffeinated ambrosia sat warm in it's pot.

    One by one Mhairi looks to the Lost as they fix their coffee to their taste, and then waits until they've taken a few sips before she speaks, to tired to dance around the issue. "Do we have any leads?"

    "If pattern tis old timey Edna's then yay. Oh, coffee tis available in a bounty of flavors," Morgan pointed to the pot and then to a cabinet above it, "And uh...guess thank ye Nathan." she didn't really sound sure about that. Her brain hadn't booted up enough to figure out what he was apologizing for.

    While they got coffee Morgan eat more protein, and got a small bottle of orange juice to wash it down. An odd breakfast to say the least. "Lead milday? Edan's and a sci-fi landscape tis what I recall. Oh, and a woman's voice but tis recognition tis unclear...need to wake up." She tilted her head in thought, face scrunching in concentration. Then she shrugged, "Nay think it tis a ghost. I recall Daniel heh had checked Edna's once for hauntings. Nary a spook twas found. So one lead less."

    Sleepy eyes take in each Lost as they made their way into the room. The look of each of them spoke volumes to her, seemed they all slept like shit.

    There was a snort and bitter chuckle, “Restive sleep? That would have been great last night.” Cause new place to sleep in plus finding work had her exhausted.

    A nod was offered to Alex, “Seems to be.” She didn’t have too much to say on the issues at hand.

    She then tries to offer a smile to Nathan, it wasn’t her best, but she tried. His mention of coffee pulled her out of part of her haze, and eyes search the room once again. When the machine offering the nectar of the gods was located, she got up to fix herself a cup. No cream this morning, straight coffee, though she did eye the sugar. But passed on it and sat back down, hands wrapped around the warm mug, eyes closed as she inhaled the intoxicating smell.

    “Leads?” she asks, brain still in a fog.

    Morgans words brought back details as she leans forward, “Pretty much what Morgan’s saying. It was this place, but like, in a different time maybe? And yeah, the woman, I didn’t recognize her. I haven’t had my dreams messed with in a long time, but that dreamed felt like it meant something. Like someone was trying to get our attention or something. Cause if we all had the same dream, seems someone is attempting something.” There was a lazy shrug as the mug was brought to her lips, a long sip taken.

    He grabbed some coffee for himself and looked for the comfiest seat in the room. The more it resembled a bed, the better.

    "I think it's pretty clear what's going on," he said, matter-of-factly. "It's like one of those coded transmissions the military hit each other with all the time. I got two dreams myself, and if I'm hearing Morgan right she's gone through the same. Taking a crack at it, the Marilyn Monroe one is the message, showing what this place ought to have been like in the prehistoric days of black and white television, or close enough, and the other dream is the source of the message. That Other Place," he waved a hand ominously, pointing nowhere in particular. He was sure they'd get the gist.
