Yeah, no kidding.
... All of it got likened to a somnium for me and then after that it wasn't quite as bad. I've had to smacked into my head so many times that a somnium's just a dream and not reality.

[ oh. he makes a little pfffffff noise under his breath. explaining things. ]
Uhhh-- it's like a subconscious dream state. You can go through it to get clues from people, say... a suspect in a murder investigation who isn't talking.
A somnium can point you in the right direction, because you can't fully hide away all your memories from your subconsciousness. But it's not real, and it's not perfect.

...sort of a shame you can't go through one here, then, we could probably use it.
[their murder trials... god.]
So you're-- going through their dreams to see what they're hiding from you, but because they're dreams, you can't just take it all as fact?

Yeah, but there are risks to it. You have limited time in one before both the psyncer and subject are in danger. So, you need to be quick but also not miss anything. It could end up being as chaotic as a trial.
[ BUT STILL… helpful ]
Your subconscious can’t fill in things it doesn’t know with accurate information. So… say you saw a murder but not clearly enough to see who the killer was, and that was relayed in your somnium. I could see how the murder took place, because you saw that happen. But the killer would be blank and nondescript, because subconscious doesn’t know who they are or what they look like. It’s not decisive evidence, but it gives us a lead.
On the other hand, if I have a suspect and I go into their somnium and see detailed information on how the murder took place and who the victim was, then there’s a solid chance they did it. I might even see them carrying out the killing.
It’s not evidence in court, but it gives the investigation team a suspect and a strong lead to find that evidence with.

[help i forgot to tag this, the fuck. but you know exactly why and we have post cyoa things so let's establish rynlan absolutely watched him slide down and laughed at him before dragging him off to warm up & hang out.
and then they fuckin suffered thursday.]

[ this week has truly been shaking in irl and rp as everything happens but yes always laugh at date. ]
Yeah, it can go either way. There’s a thing where a mind can influence a psyncer into believing what they believe. Like a sort of shared mania?
But those weren’t exactly like a somnium. Even if it was using people and things I knew to make it seem more real — like putting things in a police station, or showing me my best friend.

Rynlan.
[ he would rather climb out a window again. ]

[ wow congrats on your own room now, rynlan. ]
Knock knock?
Knock knock?
Unlocked, come in.
[hi, he's chilling on the bottom bunk, which is his, which they better have not used. his cat's on his lap; he's pretty much just vibing, though.]
So. What do you think, someone took their time deciding they were done with him, or?

[ wouldn't you like to know weather rynlan. ]
Who knows?
[ wouldn't it be funny if it was one of us ]
You'd think they'd have been more decisive if that was the reason.

[ he does come and sit! it's touch week, so he leans shoulders with rynlan. ]
Yeah. Kinda impressive he managed to finally piss off someone enough to trip at the finish line though.
[ in a very dark way. ]

True. We didn't have a lot to go off there, did we? Someone could've swung and ... well. Hit or missed.
[ ... he pulls a face. ]
There's a lot of things we didn't think about last week.
[ ... he pulls a face. ]
There's a lot of things we didn't think about last week.
[ ugggh. ]
He probably wouldn't defend himself or confirm anything. Hands off would've been his style, but also not... bothering when we were at the 20 person limit would've been too.
[ he shrugs. ]
Did it grow on you?

Such as?
[ me turning my brain off after last week like i can't think about this anymore ]
... [ he snorts, hang on. ]
Yeah. Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.

Nothing major. Some of the things he said about this setup rewarding getting away with murder. Doesn't matter now, at the least.
[me, staring at the sun in those tags happening on this the day of mephisto's death]
Think we've both proven we can acquire some pretty questionable tastes then, haven't we?
