I'm presuming that all of us have been out of sorts since the doors started opening up to places they shouldn't have been.

What I want to know is if anyone has had dreams included in the package.

Ones that aren't normal for you - things you can't really explain.

No, this isn't related to anything Mr. Wechester or his company.

Do you think that they might be prophetic?

[menarebrave]

Prophetic how? That the space we're in might change again soon?

[affection_for_research]

Perhaps. Or that there might be an earthquake or some other natural disaster in the near future.

[menarebrave]

I can't say that any of these options are something to look forward to. But, I'd presume this city has its things in place for a natural disaster.

[affection_for_research]

That's not the answer I'd expect from you.

[He hits send before he remembers that the life before isn't the life here. Bruce doesn't fight crime with other heroes. He's a businessman.

But he also isn't someone to sit back and do nothing even if he isn't Batman.]

Presumptions are faulty data. I doubt that looking into those precautious would raise too much unwanted attention.

[menarebrave]

I also know how to plan for the worst when you come from a place like Gotham.

[ Honestly, he's surprised none of them have asked about that. ]

Especially if we worry that more people like us will drop into their city.

[Gansey had assumed that Bruce's 'night life' had been something associated with their alternate versions. It isn't until he reads the text about Gotham and planning that he starts to realize that some aspects of Bruce's life might exist in more than one reality. He debates asking, then decides to refer to it in another way.]

At least one version of you - us - does.

Blue's been investigating what she can relating to our arrival.

She might also be the person to talk to about the dreams. Her entire family is psychic.

[menarebrave]

I think that is something any version of me would do.

Psychic? Really?

[ Somehow that is the surprising element in it all. ]

[He rereads the text a few times to make sure that he understood what was implied.]

I had the feeling that you had unusual hobbies, but I assumed it was something like extreme sports or pursuing college degrees you didn't want anyone to know about.

[In a way it is an extreme sport, just not one Gansey would have seriously considered.]

Yes. And not the parlor tricks type.

She understands it far better than I ever will. I'm one they try to read the future for, not the one that can see the future.

[menarebrave]

Well, I have been known to take "extreme" hobbies. Not many billionaires know the inner workings of the Russian ballet.

Or martial arts.

[ A light conversation - one that dodges all those nasty potential things. One that someone like Gansey or Evie could read between the lines now. ]

You wouldn't suspect that from someone who wants a scoop about the conspiracy theories of the world.

[affection_for_research]

[The Russian ballet comment causes him to smile and it's difficult to separate Gotham Gansey from the one that lived in Henrietta.]

The other version of me told everyone that he knew how to fight because 'Gotham'.

[And that had seemed to be answer enough for the Aglionby crowd.]

Even without that excuse, it doesn't seem that strange to me. Aglionby students had all sorts of unusual hobbies that didn't always mesh with their future billionaire status.

Who else would be best at finding a fraud? She knows what the truth is, in relation to psychics and magic at least. And, considering her background, she's sometimes the most level headed of the Henrietta group.

She'd be the best one of the people I know here that would know if you're having a nightmare or if it's a warning.

[menarebrave]

Gotham is an apt statement. It's easier to be mugged there then to get your order right at the local burger joint.

Magic and psychics aren't wide spread accepted in my world. Yet, anyways. Superman changed the perspective of reality quite a bit in the last few years.

Hm. I'll have to contact her.
