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.

I don't, but I hardly know all the people living here. But... if you're trying to think of this place as like home then she's probably not here.

The Blue Lady, she's... She watches out for us. All the lost kids.

But sometimes I think she's lost herself.

And this... well, I haven't had a home since I was practically a baby, so I wouldn't even know what one was like.

Oh. I don't know about a Blue Lady but there are lots of helpful people.

That's... very sad. I lost my home too but I was lucky to find a new one. If you need a place to stay you can come stay on the farm for a bit. My name is Kara Kent.

Really?

I... I'd like that. I don't much like being indoors at night, but I don't think it would be too safe to be out in the open here. And I have to see the stars.

On a farm...

What do I have to do to be allowed?

[maturesfaster.livejournal.com]

You just say, "I'd love to stay on the farm with you, Kara." That and you tell me your name.

Clark, my cousin, has a telescope. I bet he'd let you use it so you can get a good look at the stars.

I'd love to stay on the farm with you, Kara. My name is Rain.

And a telescope! I've only ever read about those!

[maturesfaster.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Rain! Where are you, I'll come get you and bring you to the farm.

Then you'll have to look through it for sure! What about horses, do you like riding horses?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I'm near a big carousel. Middle of a big city.

Horses? I... never saw one of them for real either. You have real horses?

[maturesfaster.livejournal.com]

I know where that is, I'll be right there.

We do, several of them. What kind of world do you come from, Rain?

[ooc: Action spam?]

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay.

I just come from the real world, I think. Mostly.


[OOC: Sure, just tell me what to do. First day and all. ;) ]

[maturesfaster.livejournal.com]

Everyone here comes from their real world. Some worlds are a lot different than others. Some have ghosts and magic and vampires while others have giant robots and very advanced computers. Or some are from the past and others the future.

[ooc: It looks something like this (http://not-alaska.livejournal.com/9124.html?thread=359588#t359588).]

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

What if not everyone agrees about whether those things exist?

[OOC: This okay? (http://livingmyths.livejournal.com/1148.html)]

[maturesfaster.livejournal.com]

It's hard to argue with someone when they've seen those things on a regular basis in their world.

[ooc: That works just fine! In the future you can always just continue off of this post too if you want. Either works!]

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

My brain sort of... doesn't always work the way everybody else's does. So, it's hard to judge. I think a lot of them exist, but...
