Chapter 4: If a tree falls in the forest...

[VennDygrem]

While Raoul is busy with his arts and crafts project, Cade settles down in the desk-chair and gets comfortable. He closes his eyes, then responds to Orgesht telepathically, saying, <<It's not safe to discuss it out loud, no matter where or when we are. Your mind, twisted as it may be, ought to be safe enough, though I dare not share more than is necessary. We are on a quest spanning more than one lifetime and more than one reality, tasked with stopping a threat to all of time, space, and reality before the threat even comes into being. We've already failed at least once. We were different people, then. Quite literally, in some cases. Anyway, I am going to attempt to gain some measure of information on where to proceed next. I will need some time to meditate. It will look like I'm napping, and, well, I will be. Though, be assured that it's for good reason.>>

Cade folds two of his arms across his chest, while the other two are crossed behind his head in pillow-like support as he leans back and clears his mind.

Ok, trying to sleep to give a chance for us to be contacted. If I do fall asleep, I take it I'll need a Lucid Dreaming check for something; realizing I'm in a dream, at least.
Here's a roll just in case: 1d20(13)+22=35

With his highly trained mind, Cade has no problem dropping immediately into sleep and the Dreamscape. His dream at first is turbulent, with hoards hordes of angry barbarians charging across Bytopian fields towards him, but he easily and quickly calms it down with a bit of focus.

Are you going to search for Xuuvosic, or wait for him to look for you?

Edit: Whoopsy... fixed that typo.

[VennDygrem]

After calming down the violent hoards, Cade begins idly looking around. He wasn't sure if the timing would be right, though time didn't exactly seem to be the biggest issue right now. Whether Xuuvosic was going to show up or not was certainly the most immediate concern.

Cade will look around, but won't invest too much effort into it. He assumes that if X is going to show up, he would, just like last time. Maybe not right away, exactly, but soon. Cade knows X said he'd stay in contact, and specifically while we sleep. He doesn't know if that means now, or if it's effectively random as far as Cade is concerned.
