Quote: Dwight's mission for you is to gather data on the dreams of various hunters! - interview other hunters about their dreams - have them roll 1d10 to determine how useful the dream is --- 1 being ridiculously useless --- 10 being something thats close to the Intermediate's dream here, but much less vivid and only vaguely recalled in pieces - add the rolls together! - once you hit 30, collect Melvin's findings and post them in a mission report to complete his promo!

Melvin didn't know what to expect when it came to promotions. Gossip around the labs left him with the impression he'd be scaling some mountain while monstrous wolves with 8 arms climbed after him. Needless to say, when it came to any sort of physical challenge, he didn't feel that confident in his success.
When he was lead downstairs, he was surprised they were in this chamber to begin with. It wasn't a place that you casually strolled to each and every day while in Deus, and he was left just looking around, taking a great deal of time just being a bit in awe. That was until their superior piped up to direct them to the reason they were here.
It seemed through some dumb folly of a few guards, a experiment was being created. Looking over, he cringed at the trainee that was being pointed out who seemed to be going into a seizure on the cot. While he didn't like being called a "punk" by someone he didn't even know, he wasn't about to volunteer. It did leave him surprised that his rank, meaning his weapon bond in turn, could prevent him from such damage.
While the other hunters were told to sleep for their promotion, he was given actual work - which was actually a lot better. (The cots were being shared and were probably filthy.)
Taking a notebook and the red pen that was Saliva, he found and chair and sat while the other hunters took their drinks and passed out.
He waited a while till everyone woke up at long last, and moved to the first person, setting his chair down by their cot. "Hello, Ofelia. Hope you don't mind that I'm picking you first since you seem to be a early riser."
Opening his notebook, he breathed out. This is what he liked - research.
"So, care to tell me what you saw in your dream?" Now he really did feel like a shrink.

Ofelia was more or less still sort of bleary as Melvin started talking. "Dream...wha? Whatcha talkin' 'bout?"
Seeing as the redhead didn't like to lie she was going to have to pick and choose her words very, very carefully. "Whatcha...really wanna know?"

Melvin just stared back at her. "Yes, you were dreaming. Remember Dwight and your mission? I'd like to know what you first remember from your dream. Can you tell me that?" He leaned back, pen poised on the page and waited.

"Well, lesse..." Ofelia sat up more and rubbed the back of her neck. "There was a weird voice callin' from the ceilin' an' Ah couldn't summon mah weapon." She paused, trying to recall some things here and there. "The ground was made'a glass. Like the kind ya see in churches an' stuff."

He wrote quickly, taking down as much as he could - which wasn't much at all. Ofelia still seemed groggy from the dream, but his own promotion was set on giving a very detailed report. He wouldn't fail.
"What else happened? What was this voice saying to you? Were you the only person there?"

"Um, yeah Ah was the only one there - s'my dream yanno." Her mind was becoming a bit more clear as she recalled what had happened. Everything in the dream had been so vivid it was hard to pick and choose what she wanted to say since well, Ofelia wasn't going to tell Melvin everything. He kept all of his secrets close so now it was time to repay the favor.
Or maybe she was just being a brat about it because part of the dream was really, really embarrassing.
"In front of me there were three items, a sword, a shield, an' a magic staff. Ah was told ta grab one an' Ah did an' it turned inta Rue...'cept not really. It felt like her but it wasn't really her." She paused. "After Ah grabbed her we got attacked by some shadow things an' instead'a tryin' ta hit me they went after the weapon."
She recalled watched the weapon start to crack in her hands. "The more they hit it the more the weapon broke down, eventually Ah thought it was jus' gonna crumble but we beat back all the monsters." Another thought. "Oh yeah, wit' mah fake!Rue Ah couldn't use a charge at all even when Ah hit 'nough that she should'a been able...so Ah guess they weren't made'a FEAR or else charges don't happen in dreams."

He considered this information. She was given 3 options and then it changed into a weapon that wasn't quiet her weapon. A fake to some degree, and it broke on her during a fight. Fighting dreams weren't uncommon for hunters as far as he could tell. It was like having a school or work dream. They focused so much on fighting shadows that even having a weapon appear in one wasn't that strange.
"Did anything else happen? You said your weapon broke. What then?"

"After that...." Well, the next part after that had some stuff she was still sort of embarrassed about so Ofelia decided to give a short version that didn't involve telling everything. "The ground broke an' Ah fell. Ended up somewhere where Ah had ta fight a copy'a mahself."
"The copy was holdin' the real Rue an' then she attacked me an' Ah had ta fight back unarmed. Sommin' 'bout learnin' ta fight wit' nothin' against yerself or whatever. Anyway in the end Ah totally kicked its butt an' woke up." Yesssss, vague enough that Melvin wouldn't know much of anything yet still full of enough information that he could write it down. "Also ya could feel pain in the dream, if that means anythin'."
Just a little more info there. "Anythin' else?" She was more awake now and was getting worried about the others.

chimarii Time to get interviewed!! OuO Melvin wrote along with her, making a list of all the information in sequence before he paused. It was a lot, but the details were very much lacking. Being a man of many questions, he wanted to talk Ofelia's ear off until even the most minor detail but Ofelia seemed worn and not up for saying much else. Her descriptions had been vague, and he assumed it was because her memory was foggy at best.
"No, Ofelia. That should be good enough. Thank you." He rose up. "You take it easy, okay. I'm going to interview the others."
Leaving Ofelia to rest, he went to the next cot and looked over at the young woman just stirring awake. He didn't know her much, but orders were orders. "Hello." Ami had been there when Dwight gave both her order for Ami's mission and Melvin's mission to interview them. He hoped she remembered why he was here.

Ami looked up from her mission report, somewhat annoyed since she was being interrupted. When she saw the life markings on his coat (and in turn, realized that he was there to record) her expression eased up to something more amiable. Certainly not friendly though. That was unthinkable.
"Can I help you?" she inquired, looking back to her report and filling out more of the information.

chimarii You can roll 1d10 and make as detailed response as your roll. Also, thanks for your responses! The tone did nothing to make him friendly, and while he also didn't like people interrupting his work, HIS work right now meant more than pleasantries. He had his own report and assignment to complete and it relied on her information.
"I'm here to file a report on your dream for the Life department. Can you tell me what your saw in your dream?" He asked, his tone dropping from friendly to simply professional if not borderline annoyed to match her tone.

Ami neatly folded her skirt under her, rearranging her hair a little here and there. After just waking up, her appearance wasn't exactly perfect, so if she was going to interview with someone she wanted to primp and preen a little first.
"The dream started with my personage falling into a vast darkness. I landed on a sort of pillar, covered in stainglass. It seemed to be a sword- it looked like excalibur, to me." That wasn't particularly useful, but it was only exposition to the rest of her story. "My weapons and runics had been taken for me- I'm not sure if that consequence is part of the dream, or something else. I ... was weaponless for quite some time you see."
< But I'm back hahaha.... >

As she arranged herself in an orderly fashion, he rose a finely manicured eyebrow, taking note of her value on a clean appearance. It was something that was flattering on the young lady, but of course not a detail he needed to write in this report.
Starting on her interview, she gave him a nice description of what was happening with a bit more detail than Ofelia, but still not much to go on that wasn't already stated.
"Was there anything beside this pillar and did anything happen after a while? Any details would be very helpful no matter how minor." He stated, hoping to drag out a bit more details on her dream experience. Current Total Data: 23

"Define what you want to know more clearly," she chided, "There was a lot of fighting and I've just woken up. You'll need to be more specific."
Maybe she was a little cranky after waking up, too. moonkitsune aslkdjsdf i dont know how else to write useless sorry for grumpy U_U;;;
