CC: Soon I will go to sleep and speak to t)(e gods. CC: I will convince t)(em to establis)( a series of stable dream bubbles, w)(ere we can meet in our sleep!
Nepeta was worried about Feferi's long nap, but it turns out she was doing important work. She wasn't lazing around - she was busy, negotiating access to the Furthest Ring for intersession communication.
I wonder what would have happened if there weren't any dream bubbles to inhabit? Would you just constantly be hurtling through the Squiddle Monster Portal every time you slept?
GG: feferi i thought you said you were going to stop using your typing quirk! CC: Did I? CC: When?? GG: i dont know⦠im sure i remember you said that CC: )(mm. CC: Jade, t)(is is t)(e first time we )(ave ever talked!
Oh?
Jade can't have learned about this from a Prospit cloud - if she did, she wouldn't be so confused about how she knows it. Something else is going on here.
GG: actually GG: i do remember this conversation GG: it was in the past! [...] GG: i dont think i am asleepβ¦. GG: i am not on prospit CC: Yes, you are asleep. But your dream self died, just like mine, remember?
So this is a dream bubble, then? A lucid dream, which takes the form of a location from your past?
If so, that's pretty cool, and also a little bittersweet. The Players can visit their homes again - but only as illusory projections.
GG: so this is a dream? CC: It is a dream, and a memory. It is the past, brought back to life by a witch! It's all those things.
It's clear that Feferi's Witch of Life powers are in play here, too.
Perhaps Witches have something to do with dreams, then. Both Feferi and Jade have unique connections to their dream moons, and seem to have more affinity for their mechanics than the average dreamer.
CC: Wish I could make something like this. Never had the gills for technology.
But Jade does - which cements my assertion that her technological intuition is Space, and has nothing to do with her status as a Witch.
GG: why are you here! GG: are you asleep too? CC: Nope! CC: I woke up from my nap a while ago.
Feferi can project herself into Dream Bubbles while she's awake, similar to how Dave was operating both his Selves at once. It's a nifty trick, and a good way to keep the lines of communication open.
GG: then why are you here now? CC: Because, stupid. CC: I'M D------EAD!
...or, Jack has finally sniffed them out.
Fuck.
