last_free_city | [Video] Nightmare's Recruitment

I suppose it's time for less complaining, and more getting other people to do stuff. So, it looks like getting a team for intelligence gathering and such's been left up to me by Thor, since I was the first to talk to him about it. I'm looking for other people good at that kind of thing. Or getting in and doing things without the enemies noticing. I suppose some might call that kind of thing "dirty work", though taking care of problem quietly's a normal thing to do with enemies. Anyway, if you're good at that sort of thing, I'm looking for you. Also, if you know anyone like that, I'd like to talk to them.

If you were there for that attack, you might've noticed some battleships crashing and enemies attacking each other for no reason. I was messing with their perceptions. And I've some experience with helping find people information and targets. I did that sort of thing a lot in that thing that my world's now calling the Dream Savior War. Those magical girls would've had a lot more trouble even finding the enemy without me. I don't really care about bragging, but I was saying all that so you know my qualifications.

The rest of you should look into organizing yourselves as well. Even just having a good idea of who's good at what sorts of thing'll help.

All possible futures? You can do that by observing the Collective Unconsciousness?

Yes. Humans are nothing if not predictable. The actions they take, the thoughts that enter their minds, their behaviors, and the mind of the universe itself. I am able to observe all of it.

I suppose that's true.

[Privately, she felt a temptation to immediately change herself just to throw off any attempts to determine her own fate. She knew with her degree of self-knowledge, she could predict her own actions. But she discarded that thought. Now wasn't the time to go throwing in unpredictable elements. Who knows what the new her would be like.]

Of course it is. It is because of their predictability and their obstinence that I believe that I am able to save them.

I suppose if you know what someone'll do, it's easier to help them.

'Help' isn't the word that I would use. I would prefer the word 'guide.' Humanity is incapable of seeing into the longterm. Their own foresight ends with their deaths. Rather than prepare for the longterm, they insist on propping up their own lifespan, believing that their universe ends with their own lives. They are intoxicated by that narcissism.

That's just the way Dreamers're.

And thus, my existence is necessary.

That's a ridiculously large task. Well, if you want to take it on, I suppose.

It is the reason for my creation. I exist to oppose Anima, and ensure the preservation of the Lower Domain of the Universe.

So, you've got to deal with moronic threats to everything, too?

They are beneath me. Unless something poses an immediate threat to the existence of the Lower Domain or the Collective Unconscious, it is of no concern to me.

[ In all fairness, though, Wilhelm did have a lot to do with destroying Gnosis on an almost genocidal scale through the creation of KOS-MOS, the Hilbert Effect, A.G.W.S., T-elos, and the Rhine Maiden; but those are a threat to the Collective Unconscious, as their existence is what's making the Anima time bomb tick. ]

Oh, yes, stuff like that's an interruption to more interesting stuff.

That is one way to look at it. I see it all as inconsequential. I am capable of considering only the 'big picture,' to use modern vernacular.

If you look only at that, you'll miss some of the more interesting details.

There is only thing that I am interested in.

How dull.

Perhaps to others. But the minor squabbles of children are not my concern. My purpose is to ensure the Lower Domain, and by extension humanity, survives.

You're a boring but useful person.

[ Wilhelm actually seems amused by that. ]

I suppose I should be flattered, then.

Now, will you tell me about yourself? It is only fair, isn't it?

If you didn't see my introduction before, I'm Deimonea, and I'm a Nightmare. I suppose I live right in the Collective Unconsciousness as you call it.

I have been trying to learn about many of the different actors upon our stage. It is a little difficult to keep track of; you might say that I had thought that I had seen it all already.

I believe your understanding of the Collective Unconscious differs from my own.

Oh, it does? Dreams like me experience it as a world.

You are a dream?

[ As in, literally a dream? Or is that just a dramatic name for a type of alien? ]

I suppose we aren't as well known where you come from as where I come from. The Dreamers call us things like 'spirits' and 'parapsychological entities', but they recognize us.
