[video] In which Arthur screws up spectacularly.....

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[Arthur looks pretty annoyed even before he notices the community recording him. He frowns at the screen for a second and then talks.]

Apparently this thing thinks I'm ignoring it, or maybe I should add my two cents in regards of Eames's post. No, I'm not cheating on Ramona because I am a loyal man and, you see, they happen to be the same person.

Just because I've been lying to you all about our jobs in the dream world for months it doesn't mean that I am lying now. It was justifiable, we can't go telling people that we can bend reality and implant ideas, can't we? That would get us kille...[Arthur stops, realizing what he just said,.]...fuck.

[the video ends abruptly.]

[Eames is just staring, looking like he just got kicked in the teeth.]

Arthur, what the hell are you doing??

[Action?]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[Arthur is very close to hit his head against a wall. But intead he will just punch the wall. What the hell did just happen. Why had had to tell them that...]

[Action?]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

[And Eames is coming to find you and following the sounds of punching. Because if he's freaking out, he knows Arthur is freaking out twenty times more.


A minute later he's walking in to their hotel room, looking half freaked out and half concerned.]

[Action]

[He's hating himself like you have no idea. he knew that soon or later the comm was going to screw them, but he didn't expected it to be so bad. And *his* fault.]

[He stares at Eames, a million of different thoughts and concerns in his mind. But all that comes out is...]

Fuck.

[He's swearing. You know it's bad when he does that.]

[Action]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he can tell. Eames runs his hands through his hair, but it almost seems easier to be calm when Arthur's freaking out, because it means he can focus on talking him down and not on the fact that this is really bad.]

Alright, look...I mean, it's not the end of the world. Fischer's gone, there's no one else on our world on the community anymore. So it's not like anyone's going to come after us.

[Action]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[That will be hard. He moves around the room like a caged tiger.]

Fischer had friend on the comm, they might connect the dots. Ariadne can be in danger, you can be in danger. And Cobb specially. There's a lot of 'if's and 'perhaps', and it's my fault.

[Action]

[forgerofdreams.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault. [His voice is much more serious than it ever is, partly because of how bad the situation is, but partly because if Arthur is losing his cool, somebody needs to stay calm and think this out.] It's a virus, Arthur, the whole community's getting smacked with this.

As far as anyone knows, we just were all on a plane with Fischer one time. If someone asks, we can say we were all traveling together to get to a job; they don't have to know the job happened on the plane ride.

No one is going to kill you. At least not here.

[This is wow. She's not sure what to make of all this.]

30 minutes later

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

You might never know, not all the jobs ended well.

..I don't know why I'm telling you all this, is like I can't stop myself.

[Neither does Arthur, he wants to punch himself.]

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

Have a backup plan. A way of letting everyone what might happen to you.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

No one would care, at it only would put the people I care about in more danger. They are in danger already because of this, and I can't delete the post.

[namedfortragedy.livejournal.com]

So what now then?

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I still need to see how fucked up we are now. [He's so stressed right now that he is cursing, don't mind him.]

[ THIS FACE. STAAAAARE ]

...That's what you do?

[ beat ]

Mister Eames really is a woman?

video; -30 minutes later or so

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[Go away, jack, go away....]

I work in dreams, the people's subconscious.

... Can you stop asking things?

[ video ]

[andthehat]

[ NEVER. He needs to ask ]

Am I dreaming then?

[ video ]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[Gdit. Damn nosy pirates.]

Now? maybe, maybe not. Do you have a totem?

[ video ]

[andthehat]

A what?

[ video ]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I take that as a no. It's an object that help you to know if you are dreaming or not.

[Locked to Arthur and Eames]

[archicheck.livejournal.com]

Oh God. I knew this was going to happen! Of course, I thought I'd be the one to do it.

[Locked to the team]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I don't know why I blurted it out, it's like I can't control myself.

...Why you thought you'd be the one to do it?

[Locked to the team]

[archicheck.livejournal.com]

It's definitly a virus. You don't need to apologize.

Well, because Eames had already told about the two of you, and I didn't think it would ever be you.

[Locked to the team]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I should have noticed.

Hm. looks like this place was feeling creative with it's victims.

[Locked to the team]

[archicheck.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Arthur. Really. I'm not angry, and I doubt Eames is. Don't beat yourself up.

[Locked to the team]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

It's not just about getting angry at me or not, I put you all in danger.
