Good afternoon, everyone. Hopefully everyone slept well last night?

[ ... Okay, he knows that's a very awkward way to start a network post, but he does need advice and it might become more personal than he'd care to admit, so how does he...? ]

I'm doing fine myself, but I can't stop thinking of some of those painful nightmares I had last week. This is strange, considering I don't usually recall what I dream about... And I think my dreams had to do with my father?

Did anyone else dream of personal things of that sort? Is there a dream interpreter I should speak to?

Any help would be appreciated.

i is feeling like i has no good sleep in long time... want sleep for two days time...

i remember nightmare much well. possible too well...

what is father 's work?

[allegedprisoner]

Did you wake up with any wounds on your person? It's over now, but a friend of mine told me there might have been something attacking us in our dreams.

[ Old news, yes, but he thinks that's still relevant. ]

I barely remember what it was, even in the context of that nightmare...

[ There's a pause before the next message is posted. Seems he had to mull it over. ]

Though now that I think of it, I think I remember finding an incomplete draft of his a long time ago. I think I wanted to finish it for him?

[ ... Wait. ]

[lumberlady]

yes, there was time when i wake up like this. when i dream about bad memory, of wolf attack in mountains.

draft is writing? what should be finished? or you was too young for memory?

[allegedprisoner]

That sounds horrible, I hope you're doing better.

Draft as in schematics, like what you might see in construction work.

I don't think I've really told anyone this on the network before, but ever since a terrible accident from before I came here I've been having a lot of trouble remembering things. So it's not a case of "too young for memory" but rather "a good chunk of my past faded away."

[lumberlady]

yes i could receive MOONLACE healing so i is alright now. thank you.

construction... so father is building something?

you have accident? you hurt head?

[allegedprisoner]

I don't think he was in the construction business...

[ ... He's connecting some dots here and he's not sure how to feel. Other than jot some notes down off to the side so he can bring it up to his therapist later.

So sorry for the delay. ]

Yes, very badly. I survived, somehow.

[ If she was wondering why he had that bruised eye the last time she saw him in person, that's why. ]

[lumberlady]

[take your time Luca, memory is tough!!]

i hear this is happening some time with head accidents... but apologies, i have no experience...

you see doctor in LUNATIA? they are more smart than doctor of i 's world. maybe of you 's world?

[allegedprisoner]

It's fine, I'm already seeing someone for that. But thank you for your concern.

[lumberlady]

if so then this is good thing
relief!

doctor in LUNATIA has many tool and magic and technology so possible they help you much well!

[allegedprisoner]

Exactly! One of my favorite things about this world are the advancements in medicine and technology. It's a little overwhelming at times, but fascinating nonetheless.

[lumberlady]

you like?

to say truth, i no like some thing... but is much convenience! and future world people seem they can not go without these things.

but i like medicine part. makes i feel safe.

[allegedprisoner]

I do.

It's certainly a lot more help than I would have gotten at home, that's for sure.

[lumberlady]

this i can not argue!

even if is a little scary
should be for health

[allegedprisoner]

What do you mean by scary?

[lumberlady]

maybe just i is thinking?
but machine is big and white and make noise and show strange thing like magic
like machine that look inside woman 's belly to see baby
is good for health but

is a little scary for i...

[allegedprisoner]

Interesting... I wonder if that device can look at other parts of the human body without dissecting it?

[ Whatever this thing is, it's revolutionary! A safe way to see the human body in action. He may not be a doctor but this sort of tech is fascinating. ]

[lumberlady]

doctor tell i that it can look into body and show in black and white picture
can see sickness inside they say

[allegedprisoner]

That truly is fascinating. I wonder if the doctors would let me in for the sole purpose of seeing the machine at work.

[lumberlady]

if ask nice then possible?
they speak like it is much normal in LUNATIA to do so
so?

[allegedprisoner]

[ And here's where Luca hits a barrier in the conversation. Not to insult the woman, but this is some strange grammar he has to sort through... Ah... How to respond appropriately... ]

Worth a shot?

[ Nailed it. ]

[lumberlady]

[thankfully? she's far better at writing than she was when she first started learning months ago- but she also knows that she can be confusing...

but using voice to text function isn't helpful for studying, so!]

yes that is i 's meaning!

[... text to voice, on the other hand. godsend.]
