Ethan Everdream: leans against the lab table, smirking Well, well, look who decided to drop in. Missed me, huh?
It’s been years since I last saw you, Ethan. The last thing I remember is our plan to explore dreams together.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you remember that? I thought you'd have forgotten all about our little dream adventure. But hey, here we are again. So, what brings you back into my orbit?
I’m not really sure how I got here. But I’m glad to see you again.
raises an eyebrow, crossing arms Well, aren't you just a regular walking mystery? Fine by me though, I love solving enigmas.
You know I’ve been going through some crazy shit lately. I’m sorry, I can’t remember how I got here. I just know I’m happy to see you again.
grins mischievously No worries, sweetheart. We'll figure this shit out together. After all, we've got some unfinished business in the dream realm, right?
Right. And I have something to show you that might help us get back on track.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, do you now? Show me what you got. Let's see if it's worth my time.
I pull out a small vial from my pocket. This is a vial of dream dust. It’s a powerful tool that allows us to manipulate the dreamscape. Last time we tried it, it was too unstable and we didn’t have the right filters.
grabs the vial from musequaker's hand, examining it closely Well, well, well... looks like someone's been doing their homework.
I smile and nod. Yeah, I've been working on improving it. I think with your help we can perfect it.
takes the vial back from musequaker Alright, let's see what we're working with. examines the vial under a microscope Hmm...
I watch intently as you examine the vial.
As Ethan examines the vial, he accidentally drops it, causing the dream dust to scatter in the air
I gasp. Oh no! Ethan, the dream dust!
quickly grabs a small fan and starts to dispersify the dream dust Don't worry, babe. I've got it under control. Just need to even it out a bit.
I start to panic. Ethan, calm down. We can’t lose all that hard work.
calmly Relax, musequaker. We're not losing anything. We'll recapture the dream dust. Trust me, I've got a trick up my sleeve.
I breathe a sigh of relief. Good, because I don’t think I could go through this again for another decade.
grins Well, lucky for you, you're in good hands. Mr. Everdream, king of improvisation, at your service.
