It was too strange to call it all a dream. Usually when you wake up from a dream, you're fighting to remember the lucid details before they slip right through your fingers. No, this was kind of the opposite. As soon as Jake opened his eyes and blearily found himself awake and aware he was slammed with what he could only liken to gaining a memory charm.

Only this seemed so much more than just one silly memory. It was a great number of things accompanied by a growing headache that made him nearly cry out with pain.

He needed to stop collecting head injuries. Jade was going to have his hide.

Looking back, he probably should have paused to take some notes before even these details slipped beyond his memory, but he was far too distracted by one huge glaring problem pounding in the back of his mind. Jane.

Jane was run through by a bunch of sinister red sentient vines. Jane was laying dead on the ground before he was dragged off again. He needed to make sure she was all right here, he needed to get the freaking heck out of bed. What the hell was brobot doing here? Nevermind he had to find Jane ASAP. At least he could just keep repeating to himself that she was okay here, and he could try and stave back the fact that he was in tears back home. Fuck. Fuck.

He made a wild dash out of the infirmary, paused to gain his bearings, and then ran for the dorms.

Of course he was terribly confused when he found out she was no longer in the room she was supposed to be in, and instead was directed towards the prefect dorms. What? Okay maybe she was in their room. Right, that's a perfectly rational deduction, okay. Good. Go.

He practically tore the door off the hinges when he made it to his room.

...

Uh.

"It really isn't that I think you would lie to me. You two are some of my best chums. But, I am afraid to die. I am afraid that I won't be able to come through as session leader and I'll fail my mission."

Jane is dead, Jane is dead? Everyone was relying on her. Everyone wanted her t come through. Everyone was counting on her....and apparently she screws it up. She just continues to cry, crying is the right thing to do because there isn't a thing they can do about her death right now.

Jake just makes sure to hold her a little tighter for all that, if its possible. Now that he's properly bawling himself out he is just going to hold Jane until she does the same.

He gives a wet sniff and looks up at Dirk.

"More or less. We made it through the transportation pad but one of the fucking monsters on my island attacked us mid-flight. I fell from frightfully high up and knocked my self bloody unconscious again."

Jane. Jane, no. Dirk snakes a hand up into her hair and just leaves it there. What he doesn't do is look down at either of them. He keeps his by-now watery gaze on the ceiling.

"Fucking shit."

Deep breaths, Dirk. It's okay. This is a setback. Nothing more.

"All I gotta do is figure out a way to wake back up, and I can revive you. Then--" Shit, then what? What does he do about Jake being unconscious at such a critical moment?

There isn't much else she can really say, she's a mess. Jake's a mess, Dirk is close to becoming a mess with them. They were just one big pile of tears and regrets, and unsaid things back in their universe.

"I'll be okay, now is not the time to panic guys. Now is the time to plan." Even she's still choking up as she tries to speak.

Despite how terrifying all of this was, Jane's words had a lot of wisdom. Rakuen was a reprieve, and possibly the very reprieve they needed to fix this debacle.

"Jane's right. We have time now, we need to rewrite this mess. No suitable adventure involves the death of anyone's friends."

This was really for the best. Okay. He had time to figure this out... Dirk took a deep breath and closed his eyes to think.

"Yeah. It'll all come together. I've got a few ideas." He didn't have all the information he needed. What about Roxy? He'd have to go check on her -- that window was one of hers, right? So if he plugged it in... "It'll require some pretty quick action once we get back, but we can solve this. Leave it to me."

Rakuen was a breath of fresh air, considering what they have to deal with when they get home. If what they were saying was true, then Jane would need to be brought back to life. But how was Roxy?

"Roxy isn't safe." Jane finally releases that from her thoughts. "After all of this time together here. We've forgotten Roxy! She is in danger just as much as we are."
