There's been something that's just been nagging at me since forever. That scene between Cobb and Eames in Mombasa, the dialogue doesn't seem to just be good-natured ribbing. Maybe I'm overthinking the ten minutes of interaction there, but you normally wouldn't insult people you're trying to get help from, so I'm assuming they're key phrases to establish the background situation, such as motive, whether there's coercion involved, how they were directed there, etc, etc. Thoughts? (Drop it/work out a system?) Given how most agree that there's probably some sort of network already in place for all the dreamers... this isn't too far off I don't think. Obviously, different people have a different system, so depending on who you're dealing with, what is said or done would have to be adjusted. Maybe it's just a really bad way to start a conversation or try and fit in?

That's one. Two is that ever since I saw Brick, I've been meaning to revamp Mute over to fit that movie into his background. As such, headcanon is undergoing an overhaul, which opens up the floor to a no holds barred questioning free for all. (Not a meme, guys. Seriously.) Questions and answers can be OOC/IC, though I predict that IC responses will mostly consist of the polite version of the one-fingered salute, especially among the "spook" half of the population. I mean, there's no point denying that half the people up here deal in secrets and information as their stock in trade.

The questioning can apply to any one of my characters. Since I'm not making a post on each and every journal I've ever made.

Day 4. This may be a bit of a repeat, but whatever. Also, you do not know how much I've been avoiding the MASH meme. Seriously. You people.

How did you come up with your character? Did they just seem to fit? Too cool to be true? Why'd you decide to play them, really? Verse too, if you wanna.

Your username? Or rather, the process of it. Did you reject some, wanted another one, only to have it snatched away by somebody else and had to think up a new one? ← That... SO MANY FRIGGING TIMES.

( ...Explains. Nicely. )

Also, a bit of a meta question: Given the workings of the Dream-heist world, do you think it could possibly work like a sort of community? People don't have to like each other or anything, there are probably old grievances, rivalries and the like running through it. But if some sort of threat to the entire community were to come up, do you feel that there would be some sort of all-round warning system? Like maybe a message sent around to everyone who had ever been part of the illegal dream share world and it would be a warning for them all to rabbit? If there is, I'm tempted to go with a Wonderland-esque phrase.
