everyone

Hi. This is Sophia...not really speaking. Thinking? Projecting words into your unsuspecting eyes. I think? This is quite something.

I won't bother you much with my shock and awe about finding myself in a new place. I'm sure there's enough people experiencing the same things than me in your close vicinity. Help them, if you would. I'm sure they will appreciate it.

My reason to send this message is to offer my own help, in one way or another. Back in my world I was finally getting settled into what I had decided to call Dream Therapy. Basically, I can help you dwell into whatever issues you have and find positive, healthy ways to deal with them.

In your dreams. Weird, I know.

I've found that it's easier to visualize and deal with things one feel and think when you can make the issues literally show themselves. Ultimately it's all symbolic of course, but the learning one makes from it it's real indeed.

We can also just talk it out wide awake, I have some training in the more normal type of stuff.

Goodness, this has taken all too much space already. I'll just leave it at that. I don't really need payment of any sort, by the way. Just knowing I'm doing my part is enough.

Anyway, do let me know if you ever need something along those lines. Or if you just want to talk. I feel like I will have much free time for a while.

i cannot see this possibly going bad at any point

Which is why everything is done with a lot of care and with full consent. Still, I take this very seriously.

Then again, I guess it's normal to be distrustful. It sounds weird no matter how you put it.

of course not, he’s just a little dude

The baseline for “weird” has changed since I was summoned into a completely new world, if I’m to be honest with you. I’m not distrustful any more than I’m just curious.

Does it always go smoothly?

just a dooooood

Maybe, but unless we come from radically different worlds, we're about the same in terms of weirdness, I'd guess. Now if you tell me you come from a time of knights and kings and people getting burned at the stake...

Not really, but it does often enough to be something I'm confident about.

[vecna]

Oh, no, nothing like that. I come from a small town that’s relatively unremarkable.

Is it a danger to you? The times it doesn’t go to plan.

If you guys have computers, we're kinda there.

Not really. It can get awkward, and sometimes scary, but that's about it.

[vecna]

We do, yes.

[They are not, perhaps, the computers that most here would have in mind. Huge and unwieldy and only ever prevalent in Henry’s recollection because what sort of government funded lab would not have the most “modern” of technologies?]

That’s surprising to me, actually. That no one’s taken advantage of your generosity in a more malicious way. I can only imagine some of the things in other people’s minds are not always very kind.

[ ...close enough. ]

Oh, back home some tried, but I'm not as powerless as one might think. I'm just trying to help.

Do no harm, but take no shit.

[vecna]

Of course.

Then does that mean you have the power to control the dream completely, if needed?
