event } a dream is a wish your traitor brain makes
WHO: All passengers currently aboard!
WHAT: Shared dreams.
WHERE: All y'all's subconscious...es.
WHEN: Nov. 7-21.
WARNINGS: If things get messy/triggering/sexually explicit, PLEASE put warnings in your comment subject lines! And if you die in the dream, you just move on to the next dream, no need to report deaths.
There's no warning - when the ship passes through the nebular cloud and Navi falls asleep, passengers on board will also find themselves dozing off at various times, and whether it’s after tucking themselves in for the night or passing out in the middle of doing something, unusual dreams will follow. Much like dreams normally behave, passengers will find themselves somewhere that may or may not be familiar, doing something that may be mundane or fantastical, but whatever and wherever the setting, dreamers will more or less accept it as reality.
Sweet dreams, passengers. Enjoy getting to know each other a little better!

“I’m trying not too.” Alex’s voice is soft. “There are some good people. Markus is good. He wants to help me. But it’s his job and I know he has a lot of other kids to deal with too. The Reagan’s seem nice. Danny is a police officer and Alice teaches kindergarten. She’s gonna teach me to read she says.”
Alex’s voice gets a little softer. “I think I’m too stupid to learn to read though. None of the other foster parents tried to help. One taught me a little on the piano before Paul...” Alex’s voice drops a bit. “He did a bad thing. Paul was worried that her husband would hurt me but he didn’t!”

Azem offers the girl a small, lopsided smile. While she doesn't truly comprehend what a bad person may be like she is not so ignorant as to dismiss a child's concerns.
"One day you will find the number of good far outnumber the bad. There will be more Markuses and Dannys and Alices and people who wish to keep you safe, so long as you are brave enough to let them help you."
As for the rest... Her gaze flits briefly to Paul, suspicious. If the piano man truly had meant to hurt this child (something she cannot even fathom, for who could ever dream of doing such a thing?) then Azem cannot fault the creature whatever actions he took. Still, she doubts his intentions.
"You're far from stupid. Learning to read is a difficult thing that takes years of practice. Anyone can learn it if given the opportunity, which is something you haven't been given yet." Being shuttled around from parent to parent is not the ideal environment for a child to learn.
"Now, why don't you tell me what a police officer and a kindergarten is while I make you your cake? I've never heard of those things before."
