[Video Post, locked from Fischer--Inception canon update]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

[This is a very strange video.

What you see are only snippets, glimpses, an odd conglomeration of images that fly by like a dream.

First you see three men sitting at a table in a lavish palace. They're talking about something, something important, but for some reason the words are mishmashed, garbled, and don't make sense.

But it doesn't matter, because it only lasts for moments anyway. It's gone in a flash.

Next you see a man rappelling down the side of a building, going back into the same room he was just in, only now it's dark. He breaks into a safe, takes an envelope then... light floods the room and the scene skips forward. A woman shoots another man in the knee. It skips forward again. The whole palace is crumbling, the building flying apart. But the very next moment you see a man in a chair falling backwards into a full bathtub.

There's a crowd outside, raucous, a mob flooding the streets.

The next moment, there are four men in a train. One of them is asleep. The other three men gather their things and swiftly depart.

The last thing you see before the video cuts out is the last man slowly waking up.

If you watch closely enough, you may be able to recognize Dominic Cobb and Arthur (no last name given). It may be difficult, however. The video itself is so like a dream that it may feel like you yourself, having watched it, have just dreamed it.]

Cobb.

I just saw it.

How... what...

How is this even possible?

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I have no fucking idea. I'm tired of this comm messing up with us, but it recorded the Dream. The Dream. How it did that?

[Locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

It's impossible. It should be impossible. There is no possible way this could have happened.

[Locked]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

it obviously isn't anymore.

And I checked my totem.

[Locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

So did I. Multiple times.

The image is blurry enough, maybe people didn't recognize us.

That may be too much to hope for. If all else fails, call it a pitch for a video game. We seem to be doing reasonably well with that defense.

[Locked]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

We can but I'm not sure for how long they're going to believe that. Corinthian won't buy that anymore.

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

We have to keep it up for as long as possible. The consequences of the secret getting out could be... difficult.

[Locked]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I know. We have already too much difficulties going on on our lives. I will keep it up as long as I can.

We aren't the only ones with experience in dream work it seems.

Uhm.

[he reds it,.]

He's a teen, until I can investigate him and his world further I'm taking this in a grain of salt. If it's a lie, it's pretty elaborate because eh mentioned this to other people in his post. But still.

Re: [Locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

I'm not planning on telling him anything unless we have to.

Re: [Locked]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

All right then.

...what the hell?

Re: [locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

Precisely my reaction. How this is even possible is completely beyond me.

[locked]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

...I don't even know. Bloody hell.

If this place can record us while we're inside a dream...this is going to make things very damned tricky.

[locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

To put it lightly, yes.

[locked]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Maybe if the videos of it look crazy enough, someone'll really assume it's a video game or a virus or...not what it really is, hopefully.

[locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

We can only hope.

I've already had one person recognize it as a dream, but he's willing to keep it quiet.

[locked]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Someone figured it out? Oh Lord. If one person can...well, maybe we'll get lucky.

[locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

It's probably not that difficult to figure out if you know the concept, and it seems like he's worked in dreams before on his own world.

As much as I hate to say it, luck may be our only chance in a community this large that's hell bent on revealing our secrets to the world.

[locked]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

I think you may be right. Well, so far it's only the one person who's guessed it...so maybe it'll stay under wraps for a little while.

Re: [locked]

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

We'll see.

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

Dream combat?

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

Dream warfare?

...Interesting.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

Alien invasion on my world. They're more comfortable in dreams than all covered in form. We learned to fight back.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

I see.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

Now, why do you ask?

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

Where I come from, there is technology that allows for dream sharing, which can sometimes result in... altercations, but nothing so advanced as warfare.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

Which you don't want as public knowledge just yet.

Tell you what, give me your party line and I'll pretend to be satisfied by it.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry?

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

It's advanced tech, you said it yourself. Need to know basis, and most people don't. Right?

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

...Correct.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to help you keep it under wraps if you need to.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

Ordinarily I would probably decline, but since it seems like the community is directly working against us, we could probably use the help.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[bittervictor.livejournal.com]

I'd like to compare notes, but I understand if you can't. If I had that kind of intel advantage, I'd want it a secret too.

Re: Locked, difficult to hack

[cornonthe.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'd prefer to keep it as much under wraps as possible, but I'll confer with my colleague.
