[Taako sounds... tired. He's obviously trying his best to sound like he's fine, though, despite how clear it is that he hasn't been resting well.]

Hey, so, uh... weird question. Has anybody else been having, uh... dreams lately? Like, weird ones, you know, with people you know and things like that, but... they feel super real?

[More like a memory.

He sighs.]

Uh. I know I don't usually ask about this sort of thing-- or, uh, anything at all-- but it's getting kind of hard to function, and, like... I've got a job I'm supposed to be doing, I guess, so if anybody knows what's going on, it'd be pretty chill if you could give me a hand with clearing my head over here. I figure this is definitely some kind of weird magic bullshit or something, right?

Visions? What, like, from the future or something?

[That... doesn't make any sense, either. The people he sees in his visions, the familiar faces, seem a lot younger than the versions he knows now... but humans age weird, so who knows.

But there's one certain person in these visions that he knows, for a fact, is dead. So that's kind of damning.]

Nnno, I don't... think it's that. So I guess it's got to be a curse.

[whattaprick]

Not necessarily. You could have visions of the past, or things that never happened. Usually when a ghost's trying to tell you something ... or drive you crazy.

[tacosgay]

... okay, so I'm getting the "never happened" variety, then. Cool, that's fantastic.

Little do the ghosts know, I've always been crazy, so they got here way too late.

[whattaprick]

What have you tried to get rid of it?

[tacosgay]

Well, uh, I did try a round of good ol' Detect Magic, which did nothing, but lit the fuck up because, well, basically, everything here is magic as hell. Other than that, I pretty much just... uh. Try not to go to bed. Which hasn't worked out great for me.

[whattaprick]

Hah. I know the feeling. My medallion buzzes so much around here it's weirder when it goes quiet.

Has anything else changed?

[tacosgay]

Nnnnno...? Just... the weird head-pictures and headaches. And I guess my face glows now, and I have horns, but I'm pretty sure we can call that definitely the carnival's fault.
