Sounds like you need to summon a baku.

[ Or just find the nearest zoo and stick your head in the tapir enclosure. ]

Although if that worked it would've worked for all of this by now.

A baku...?

Ah, like the city's mascot? [he smiles, cheerful] That would be cute. And it would make our lives a bit easier if that did work.

How are you holding up?

They eat nightmares, after all.

[ They just need that to happen for real. Maybe they should pool together the mental energy of Dreamers to create a Baku God, that can't go wrong. ]

I'm upright and walking in a straight line, at least.

Heeeeh... [Tycoon rocks back and forth a little bit before smiling cheerfully] That would be useful. Just eating up those Nightmares in one big bite.

[he makes a small bite gesture with his hand]

That's... Wouldn't that be considered the bare minimum...?

But nothing can ever be easy huh?

[ Or else it might not even become a problem at all. ]

Yeah. The bare minimum feels pretty acceptable sometimes.

... [he sputters out a laugh at Mind's attitude, a far cry from Ai's own cheer and Zeke's... Zeke-ness. The laughter turns into coughing in short order and he has to take a minute to get himself back under control] If it works, it works... Or something?

It's fine if some things are difficult, right? It makes it more satisfying when you see it through to the end... Outside the Dream Sphere, at least. Just doing the bare minimum in the Dream Sphere sounds like it might lead to trouble.

[he looks worried, because Torments come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and just walking around sounds like a recipe for disaster]

[ They need a Mind. Every group needs the sarcastic one. ]

It works. Trust me, I'll hold up. I've been through a lot of shit already.

And I know how to avoid trouble that I can't handle by myself.

[a thoughtful hum before he smiles ~~head empty~~]

I guess that's probably the most important thing, huh? The whole 'knowing how to avoid trouble' thing.

... Chaosbringer brought it up before. About how not being willing to give up might be a Dreamer trait... or something like that? [pause] Though I might have misremembered that...

Mm, it's useful. Even if you are a good fighter, there are a lot of situations you shouldn't just dive into solo.

[ That being said, she knows a lot of fools who do it anyways. ]

I'm stubborn, too. Just manifests differently.

Aha... [#calledout] Maybe we should do workshops for curtailing impulsive behaviours... It's hard not to jump in when you see someone in danger.

... [he blinks at her with open curiosity] How so?

About sticking my nose in other peoples business to give unsolicited advice.

[ Which the workshop would either qualify as or give her a way to avoid doing? ]

Kind of just more awkward when I'm otherwise antisocial.

Hmm... That feels like something that happens a lot here. [he's thinking about Zeke as he says this, though it doesn't sound accusatory at all] But maybe it's a Dreamer trait too...

Being nosy, I mean.
