. . . how, precisely? Do you recall?

[What the hell is his world . . .]

[darkinferno]

Probably not well enough to satisfy you. [Dante frowns, trying to recall the memory of them. How had it worked...?] The Dream Eaters... I don't know for sure, but they might have been something more... metaphysical. When I was fighting them, they didn't leave corpses behind. They'd just burst into nothingness.

So when I needed to, I could absorb their power into myself that way.

[It all makes sense until you have to explain it, really.]

[originallutece]

[Does it really? Rosalind listens closely to that explanation, but though she can make sense of some of it, some of it simply sounds nonsensical. Which doesn't mean Dante is lying, of course; it's just difficult to provide a rational explanation when one only has scraps of memories.]

And when you absorbed their power . . . I know you can summon a sword. Was it part of that, or some other power?

[darkinferno]

[He shakes his head, unseen--this much is obvious to him.]

It's different. I already told you I can usually sense it in my heart. But the power of the Dream Eaters... I can feel it running through my entire body. In the memory I got, I had wings; I'm pretty sure those were related to the power I took from the Dream Eaters.

[originallutece]

Good god.

[She murmurs it.]

Functional ones?

[darkinferno]

A little smaller than they should've been, but functional enough. I couldn't fly upward with them, but they worked well enough to glide above the ground.

[And besides, he's got his fancy parkour for going up.]

[originallutece]

Well. Perhaps you'll regain those soon.

[She exhales slowly. This is a lot to consider.]

All right. I'll spare you more questions for the moment, though I'll be following up soon enough.

[darkinferno]

[A snort.]

I doubt it. Not unless we get the Dream Eaters to go along with it, and I don't know about you but I don't want to see monsters in the streets any time soon.

That's fine with me, I don't mind answering questions. Let me know when you want to talk again.
