Good question. Hans mentioned Nevada, which is definitely a name I know from home — but they couldn’t have just hopped in a car and driven to another world.
It’s not impossible that there could be somewhere called the same thing, but— if they were at a casino, Nevada, or rather Las Vegas in Nevada is known for its casinos and for being an over the top kinda place. Celebrity restaurants, shopping, casino halls with insane layouts and themes…
Could be it’s a little too similar to be a different place.
Really? That's a thing you guys can do back there? Maybe if some of the guys tell us what they saw, we can figure out if there's something from someone's memories here in there and know for sure.
I don’t know if it would be possible here. It’s not something you can just hop in and do without thinking about it — you’d need a specific machine, a monitor, more than just me alone.
They could be using a power to replicate it...? [ also kind of ?? at me alone when she talks about machines ] I just meant asking around--someone's bound to recognize their own memories if they're described to them, right? Then we'd know if they are using them or not.
That would be concerning. But it's not like I wouldn't know how they'd find out -- buuut if they could dig into my memories anyway, why would they need to learn about the Somniums...?
[ ow. her head. ]
Only a psyncer remembers a somnium. If you were the source of one, you wouldn't remember anything that happened in it.
Not randomly, for no reason. They have to sign forms and stuff. [ usually. permissions unclear, game inconsistent. ] We're secret, but there's still steps to follow.
Somniums are open to interpretation, and influence. They can show you might know something about a situation, but they're not valid as evidence in court. We can only use them to guide us to something we might've missed, or a line of inquiry we might not have thought of.
A bit easier to talk your way around than finding a murder weapon in your house, right?

Hey, Tama. Everything good?
no subject
Trying to figure out why six people ended up at a "nightmare casino", but other than that it's as good as it can be for a Thursday.

Sounds like it was a different casino? Like, they went somewhere else?
no subject
...Seriously? Like, in the locked areas of the city?

[ closes my eyes in the realisation i get to do the ‘wow, a cyoa’s kinda like a somnium’ comparison for the second time this year. ]
And it sounds like they were all able to interact with it… I wonder…

[ which is a planet? maybe? he is not sure. but: ]
What are you thinking?

[ pulls out a map and gives him a geography lesson somehow. ]
The idea of exploring someone’s memories isn’t really new to me. I just wonder if the concept’s the same or similar to what I know.

[ there's an underlying "you need a warrant to do that" that he won't say but that might be obvious from the look on his face ]
I feel like someone looking at your house is still better.
