It is. I get the feeling they would've been a lot nicer if that creepy lady wasn't around. She kept yelling a lot and hitting them with stuff.

[What the heck had she even wanted, anyway? Something to do with.... a trial? No, it's no good. She can't remember. Finally she shrugs and shakes her head with a smile.]

I mean, it was just a weird vision thingy. Who knows if it's even real?

[wounds]

Who hits robots? They're just trying to do their jobs.

Right. It could just be in your imagination. [But it has to mean something if they're all having this problem.]

[magic_to_do]

It could. I do have a great imagination.

[She could certainly believe that if it was just her. But lately...]

Still... there seems to be whole epidemic of vision thingies going around.

[wounds]

If it's an epidemic, it's probably not a coincidence. There's definitely something going on.

[magic_to_do]

Yeah...

Now if only we could figure out what it is.

[Because seriously things are weird lately.]

I wonder if there's a common thread to all the strange stuff going on...

[wounds]

We've all forgotten something, maybe?

[magic_to_do]

Forgotten? That's.... silly....

[She trails off, because actually that makes a lot of sense. Those people she keeps seeing in her mind, people she doesn't even know, could all be real.]

Why would we all forget things?

[wounds]

[That's really the million dollar question isn't it?]

I... don't know. I wish I did. Maybe there's a simpler explanation.

[magic_to_do]

Simpler? Like what?

[She's imagining a scenario where they all hit their heads at the same time. Yeah, that's too silly for even Trucy to take seriously.]

[wounds]

... We're hallucinating?

[No, that seems a bit far fetched even as soon as he says it.]

[magic_to_do]

So it's one of those 'it was aaaallll a dreeeaaam' kind of things?

[She helpfully wiggles her fingers for dramatic effect on the word 'dream.']

They do say that your whole life could be a dream and you'd never know it.

[Do they say that? Really?]

[wounds]

People really say that?

[magic_to_do]

Sure they do.

[No they don't.]

I don't know if it's true though.

[wounds]

If you can feel pain, it's probably not a dream. That's why people pinch themselves.

[magic_to_do]

Really?


[.........


Okay she pinches herself.]


Ow! Guess it's not a dream after all.

[wounds]

So it's definitely real.

[What the heck is the simplest explanation for this?]

[magic_to_do]

That's probably for the best. I mean, if it was a dream, we'd have to figure out whose dream it was.
