[OPEN MINGLE: SEPT 8-16]

[oneandmikleonly]

[So what are you up to as we pass out of the first hectic week of September and into the second? Calm strolls with alien elephants or fast swims with alien sealife? Flashing your sunglasses at crime scenes? Dreaming and building dreams? Waking and building...buildings? There's always a lot to do here, whether it's formal missions or just shenanigans with friends.

Zenning out is fine too!]

[ She follows. The space in front of them is empty and vast, feels more like a deep pit than a missing space. Kara shivers. ]

What is that?

[braavado]

I was reading up on this place and I think it's supposed to be where the Aurora wreckage is. They mentioned something like it, anyway.

[She's frowning a little.]

Apparently places where machines or ships like these are in the real world, look like this in our dreams.

[highflights]

[ She looks around, swims a little bit away from Korra to peer deeper into it. ]

What does that mean? They're unnatural or they don't blend with everything because they're not native to this planet?

[braavado]

I'm not sure. It looks like it's...hurting the dream world, though, doesn't it?

[Korra shifts uneasily, but follows Kara closer.]

There's...dark energy around this place, too.

[highflights]

Yeah. It's creepy.

I guess maybe it's this place, but it feels like there might have been something alive here.

[braavado]

You think so? [Korra stares at the dark spot, wondering what Kara's sensing.]

You mean, something was here once, and then...? [She waves a hand at the mess.]

[highflights]

Hey, I'm not an expert.

[ She shrugs, gesturing out to the yawning maw in front of them. ]

There's so much here we don't understand yet.

[braavado]

Yeah, no kidding...

[She falls silent for a moment, then perks up again.]

Wait, that's what I was going to show you! You hear that song, right...? If you listen to it and hum along with it, the dark areas feel better after a while.

[highflights]

[ She frowns, listening, then hums along. Her eyes widen. ]

Wow. Why's that?

[braavado]

Not sure. I've looked at the information in our devices, but... I don't think anyone actually knows what's going on.

They said shaping the dreamscape on this level is new, too.

[highflights]

We should explore, then. See what we can find.

[braavado]

Sounds like a plan.

[Korra looks thoughtful, this time glancing up toward the sky.]

It is easier to see things in this world than it is in the real world sometimes.

[highflights]

You think so? We'll find out, then.
