Had a weird dream last night about a place with a carousel and a clock thing and people, oh people like you never see for real but only for pretend. Woke up this morning and I was there. On my feet, walking like I'd already been up for a really long time.

Stopped when I realized what I was doing, tried to look around a little, but it was all really too much. Kind of overwhelming, you know?

So I found a place where I could sit and watch, try and get my bearings, but then I found I got to wondering.

Am I really here or am I dreaming and just lost in the dreamtime?

Maybe somebody will stop and tell me what's happened if I look small and innocent enough. Works in a lot of places.

"Ahh. Good to meet you." He peered at the thing she was offering to him. "What's that? It looks like something Tycho's niece would know about."

"It's a battery. 'Case you -" She broke off, blushing. "Probably don't mean a thing for you."

"...Battery? I think I heard Anne Claire say something about... something... to do with... that..." he looked as though the process of remembering was giving him a headache.

Hey, 1920's boxer. Developments in portable electricity weren't high on his priorities.

And he got hit in the head a lot.

"Stupid," she said, ducking her head. "Nothing to put them in and since your brain isn't broken you don't need one."

"...I don't know, I get hit in the head a lot. Like... a lot a lot. By fists. And tentacles. Thank you for the... battery, right?"

"Yeah," Rain said quietly. "It kinda makes me feel better so.."

She shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe it'll make you feel better too."

"...Okay?" Gabe said, pocketing the battery. "Well, whatever helps? Maybe it's a talisman thing-y. I think Tycho has some in his office."

She laughed. "It is! It is! But not like a real magical one. Just one I sort of made up so I'm not always so scared."
