* Astrea_Bastet arrives at Serena's house a bit later, ringing the doorbell as she barely contains her glee
* Serena opens the airlock door and allows the hive to flood for now
Serena
"It is good to see you.
* Astrea_Bastet hugs Serena "It's good to see you too! Oh sorry for the flooding."
* Serena hugs back. "No it's fine, I put everything away in advance."
Astrea_Bastet
"That's good. Let's close up the airlock than and let it drain"
Serena
"No worries, we can keep it open for the time being."
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh alright." Astrea lets go and swims inside "Ready?? Cause I am so ready!"
Serena
Serena smiles and takes her hand. "Slow down Astrea, I'm sure it's not going anywhere."
Astrea_Bastet
[come on irc, don't lag on me]
[oh there we go.]
* Astrea_Bastet smiles and holds serena's hand "Okay, okay. Let's get comfy than"
Serena
Serena leads her to the exercise room and lays out a large foam mat to lie on. "Sit here. Then...I guess the rest is up to you."
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea sits down "Of course, first just let me establish the link okay?" Astrea focuses on Serena and establishes an empathetic link with her "Okay...there we go, now try to see through my eyes just...think about looking through mine instead of yours"
Serena
"This...is certainly odd. I'm not sure I enjoy looking at myself like this."  Serena tries moving a bit.
Astrea_Bastet
You see yourself move "Haha, yeah I understand. But keep looking through my eyes, okay?"
Serena
"Alright...what are you going to do?"
Astrea_Bastet
"Just this." Astrea lays on the mat and closes her eyes.......yeah she's asleep. After a few moments you can see through Astrea's eyes again as she crawls out of a recupercoon into a purple verison of her room...and suddenly you hear her voice in your head "Neat huh?"
Serena
"I...Astrea what is this?"
Astrea_Bastet
"My room on derse! It's at the top of a tower." Astrea walks over to the window and looks out onto a purple city of Gothic architecture "This is the Moon of Derse, there are 5 other towers with 5 other princes and princesses...including you"
Serena
"Well, you have succeeded in making me very confused."
Astrea_Bastet
"I was kinda confused at first too but...than I just y'know...began to explore and look around. If I do this every night...why not enjoy myself?"
Serena
"You are spending this night here now. I am quite worried by all this."
Astrea_Bastet
"Okay...but I swear I'm okay, I don't know why this is happeneing but it is and...I've slept so well I don't even need a recupercoon."
"Since I never lose consciousness I never have normal troll nightmares...it's nice"
Serena
"So, you are sleeping without a recupercoon, seeing things when you sleep, and developed psychic powers."
Astrea_Bastet
"Okay the psychic powers were developing before this. and I only did the without once"
Serena
"You understand how worried I am yes?"
Astrea_Bastet
"Of course I do...but I swear I'm okay"
Serena
"Well, at least show me your store."
Astrea_Bastet
"Yay!" Astrea claps her hands together and just...jumps out the window before she just flys through the air, landing infront of a medium sized store near the marketplace of Derse, on display are various clothes you definitely recognize as hand crafted by Astrea ranging from dresses to more casual wear. The store name reads: 'Derse Dream Designs.'  Astrea pulls out a key and goes into through the back "I named it after the fact the people here call us Dreamers...I really liked the name"
Serena
"Astrea?"
Astrea_Bastet
"Yeah?"
Serena
"PLEASE. Don't ever jump out a window while I look through your eyes ever again."
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh gosh I'm so sorry. I forgot to mention the whole flight thing"
Serena
"Yes, you must have missed it..."
Astrea_Bastet
"I really am...I'll make it up to you okay?"
Serena
"Deal. I have plenty of clothes I've ripped from over stretching. However, I must admit. This "dream world" of yours is looking more and more appealing. You say there is no empress here? No one killing indiscriminately?"
Astrea_Bastet
"There is a Queen, but she isn't as bad as our empress from what I can tell."
Serena
"As bad? Have you met her?"
Astrea_Bastet
"No not yet. I've listened to some of the citizens talk about her, she's strict and vain but doesn't massacre people."
Serena
"Uhg. Why is that an upgrade?"
Astrea_Bastet
"Atleast she isn't actively trying to kill me?"
Serena
"No, you're right. Sorry for being pessimistic. Maybe it's just hard to believe."
Astrea_Bastet
"I understand. Do you want me to go to your tower later?" Astrea walks around her shop, showing the many different articles of clothing she has for sale
Serena
"I would feel better if I was there with you."
Astrea_Bastet
"I know...I tried to wake you up yesterday but...I guess as the derse say you aren't ready to wake up here. I don't know why either"
Serena
"That's...frustratingly confusing."
Astrea_Bastet
"Yeah, I'll do more research on it but I'm sure you'll wake up eventually"
Serena
"Just be careful for now. We know very little of this place."
Astrea_Bastet
"I will be, and oh I almost forgot...I actually met another dreamer. She was a species called 'human' "
Serena
"A what?"
Astrea_Bastet
" Human, it's what she called herself. She had white skin and no horns! and her entire species has red blood apprantely!"
Serena
"Weird...show me one."
Astrea_Bastet
"Sure." Astrea locks up her shop and flies back to the towers, she enters cornelia's room and shows her Cornelia "Here she is"
Serena
"...That is really weird. I want to poke it."
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea giggles "The skin is really soft"
Serena
"I mean, so is yours."
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea blushes "Okay fair."
Serena
"Alright, well now I want to be there even more."
Astrea_Bastet
"Well when you do get here, tell me or wake me up okay? Just remember you can fly too"
Serena
"Yeah..."
Astrea_Bastet
"You okay?"
Serena
"It's just...hard to take in. Also how are you just falling asleep on demand like that?"
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh I was really tired already"
Serena
"Well alright. Are you staying in there? If so we should keep some sort of link open, I don't want you wandering around somewhere alone."
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh well, I can only maintain it for an hour so...I can head back to my hour, this quick nap will probably leave me pretty good for a bit"
Serena
"Okay then. I will be here."
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea flies back to her room and crawls back into the recupercoon...she falls asleep, and soon enough AStrea wakes up back in the waking world "Hey."
Serena
Serena is in the middle of a kapotasana pose and looking Astrea in the eyes. "Hello."
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh doing yoga? I'm not interupting right?"
Serena
"Ah no sorry. I had nothing else to do, and my stress levels were rising. Care to join me?"
Astrea_Bastet
"I'd love to"
Serena
Serena starts going over some very easy poses and breathing exercises, before immediately shifting to much more advanced ones that challenge the flexibility of the bodies limits.
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea goes through the yoga motions with her, having done this before with her she is alright at it
Serena
"Wow, you are getting much better. Have you been practicing?"
Astrea_Bastet
"A little bit, plus you're a good teacher."
Serena
Serena blushes slightly. "W-well. I do try. It's important we both keep our composure."
Astrea_Bastet
"Yeah of course. It's really relaxing y'know?"
Serena
"Yes, it helps me control my natural emotions. I swear sometimes we have a tinge of purple in our blood."
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea laughes "Yes I must agree with that, but as long as we have each other we'll be kept in check"
Serena
"Right..." She pauses for a moment. "...are we moirails?"
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea thinks as she does the current pose "...uuum...I think so."
Serena
"Hmm..." Serena continues holding her pose. "We are just, different. It makes me wonder how I should think of you."
Astrea_Bastet
"Well...I would think pale makes sense for sign-spirits...we care deeply for each other, but it's not a redrom care. It's...well the human called it 'family' and us 'sisters' saying that 'sisters' were two females from the same genetic line whom lived together...so perhaps that?"
Serena
"Hm, interesting. These humans could teach us many things."
Astrea_Bastet
"Yeah, and their sun isn't nearly as bright as ours. They can actually walk around in the daytime"
Serena
"Why would you want to do that?"
Astrea_Bastet
"I dunno, but it doesn't seem to burn their eyes or anything"
Serena
"They must not have a very good sun then."
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh no it's beautiful and does it's job, I got to see it."
Serena
"Okay, what?"
Astrea_Bastet
"Yeah we empathetic linked soooo I watched her sun rise."
Serena
"Oh right, that. Look, I'm sorry for over-reacting earlier. You are more then welcome to leave if you want."
Astrea_Bastet
"Hm...nah, I think I'll stay the night. I'm kinda a bit too tired to make the swim home."
Serena
"Oh, in that case you are taking the pod. I have plenty of other places I can sleep."
Astrea_Bastet
"But Serena you need to sleep in a coon too"
Serena
"I spend everyday controlling my emotions, and I'm not the one who has been skipping out."
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea sighes "Oookay. I'll take the pod"
Serena
"Good, I'm glad you're being co-operative."
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea stretches a bit more "because I'm honestly about to fall asleep again haha...is it okay if I go and sleep?"
Serena
"Of course. I'll try to be quiet now that I'm done my warm ups."
Astrea_Bastet
She nods "Thanks, good night than." she hugs Serena before heading to go to sleep
