Terry couldn't help but remember how the dream mentioned 24 hours. Whatever was causing them to properly remember who they were, it sounded like they had a limited window. Terry wasn't sure what he could do to try and wake up in the meantime. He was only one person and the Dusk had to have more people in his situation.
But he had to be careful. Some of the names in his phone book might be a real Horseman. He couldn't write off that possibility. While he waited for Kim to meet up with him, he sent out a blast message. Something vague enough that could be considered just an innocent message but depending on the response he could possibly gauge their identity.

Clyde looked down at his text and was a bit confused. Was this another hunter looking for other hunters? How many other hunters were there? It couldn't be just him and Joy
text from peril
Ahhh moon I guess?
He didn't want to be too obvious. But it would be a fast way to tell who was who, it if was the idea. Probably was, if the horseman figured it out... he was a dead hunter.
The phone had been completely forgotten, a resource that could have possibly aided in figuring out where others were and if they were there at all. Someone had been clever, sent out a text and her hand reached into one of the many pouches on her belt to pull it out to view the sender.
But her heart sank not really understanding what the question meant but even she could gather enough to what it implied. Olivia had had the inkling, as she wandered and listened that not everyone was like her, there were Hunters. But that had happened last time too, right? Still, she pouted.

Terry remembered "Peril". He'd been the nice Famine Horseman who didn't make fun of his Horseman-self's penchant for high heels. And while the response seemed generic enough, there ought to be follow up questions that could clarify things for the Hunter-in-Horseman's clothing.

Was Clyde making a joke? Yes he was making a terrible joke. What better way to cover his discomfort than by bad humor?

Cadence was surprised to hear the buzz of her phone. Her messages has been surprisingly quite the past few days. Reading the message she frowned, it seemed like a spam message. But it was sent from Terr, she had taken a hunter base with him and he seemed nice enough. Maybe he was taking a survey or something?

Message From Chao: Uhhh Moon I guess? That's what my last name means.
Terry brightened when he saw one of the responses was from the Death Guardian Elaia. But her response saddened him. Agata would have sounded differently even through text and her response suggested that she wasn't even a Hunter at all.

Another response and at first, Terry thought Chao was a Hunter as well. Up until the follow up.

Message to Chao That sounds lovely.

Chao looked at her message but it didn't seem to explain anything. She paused for a moment before sending another message.
Quote:
Message to Terr Thanks, what about you?
She looked back over the first message trying to figure out what it could mean. Moon, Life, Sun, Death? It wasn't the horseman clans, they didn't have any secondary names. s**t. She suddenly realized that there was only one organization that used those four words, Hunters. s**t s**t s**t. She had responded to a hunter? Maybe he didn't suspect that she wasn't a Hunter yet? She really didn't want to get in the middle of a bunch of hunter if they knew she was a reaper. After all their job was to destroy creatures of fear.
Not to mention she had done most of the damage to that hunter when Terr, Noah and Her attacked the Antarctic base. It wasn't like that was a real hunter right? Either way she worried he might not take well to the 'death' of a comrade even if he participated.

His second response to her at least brightened her mood a little bit. They were friends here after all, had a history and all that good stuff.

After the trauma of waking up in such a horrible place, Melvin had found a lab room to lock and was hunched in a chair collecting himself and trying not to freak out of the visual nightmare that was his own bug-skeletal hybrid of a body. He had to shake off his robes and were clearing it of all insects, sand, minipet treats, and a few unknown dried pieces of stuff that he couldn't and didn't want to identify. After that was done, he went and got the human clothes his dream counterpart kept for human outings and felt more relieved to be in semi-clean clothes. After grounding himself with a mantra of "This is a dream" and stating his body was not his, he finally managed to get his breathing back to something a bit normal.
When is phone buzzed, he found the message and was almost too quickly to respond before he stopped and reminded himself this was a open chat for anyone. If a horsemen was fishing around or just watching, they might be alerted that they were out of the Matrix.
So carefully he thought of what too say, but only grew more and more worried for the real friends he had who might be around and what they were going through this very moment. If they were going through the same thing. He wasn't sure how many people were actually in this dream or if the ones that were were actually awake like he was right now. He could only hope they were okay and would not be found out if they were awake enough to know who they were.

Terry had to be careful in responding to the non-confirmed hunters and talking through text seemed to be an easier way to do just that.

Message to Chao I am not one of the Death Clansmen that have a last name. But I like looking at the moon better than staring at the sun. Hurts my eyes.

Message to Elaia Perhaps we should study for a way to remain friends. I will hunt for this solution.
Terr wasn't about to give up just because he was- a buzzing of his phone indicated another received message. It read like a mass-text like he'd sent only he recognized this Horseman too.

Message from Terr Would that I could. That sounds like the Life I'd be hunting for too.

It was hard to tell if there was ill intent coming from a text message. They were simple words on a screen, no emotion coming through at all but Olivia did want to hope for the best with this. Even if he was one of those humans who hunted her kind. In the other world. (What if they were stuck here after all?) At Wonderland, however, she recalled them being rather respectable and during that rescue mission many of them had been very kind and lovely to chat with. Perhaps maybe... he could be too.

Message from Elaia I would really like that!! o^^o the last time you were all very nice and it would be nice that we didnt attack each other. That time was not very fun because I got hit with arrows and a sword thing : (
Nevermind that particular incident was several years ago now. But it had not been pleasant regardless.
Famine always travels in swarms. I have some Joy with me but I always like having new friends. I'd love to meet any of yours.
Clyde figured that would both explain that he wasn't alone and that he was looking to team up with whatever.
text from peril
I haven't gotten any explanation for what happened yesterday yet. My head is still muddled. Do you have anything new?

Joy got the text, and she also noticed Clyde typing away on his phone. "You letting this dude know I'm with you or should I send something too?" she asked the "Famine" horseman.
She was going through her own phone, scrolling through texts and names and ending up sending something to someone just hoping they were who she thought and remembered them to be.

Message to Kai Hey. S Joy. U gt my ink? N is it Sunny ovr der?
She hoped that the horseman that was "brother" in this world was the same big guy from Sun. Because if he wasn't, she sure as hell hoped she could bullshit an explanation for what her message was even talking about.

"oh yeah, I told him that you are with me, in code of course. He's a lifer, but he's in death clan." Clyde gave her a small grin. He totally thought that was amusing.
"Are you finding more friends? I... don't really know anybody."
