Albee eyed the pitcher, but did not take any more.
"Excruciatingly so."

"WAIIIIKAAAAAAAAP!" yelled Fee, biting her hand at the base of her thumb.
Her eyes flew open. "Wha?!" He blinked, sitting up groggily and rubbing her eyes. "Wh-what..? What are you all doing in my room..?" she asked sleepily.
And this was a valid point, as it was precisely where they were. Faeries and lost boys and forests gone, replaced by a plant on the windowsill, figures hung to fly from the ceiling, sun behind the curtains filtering through, friendly. She stretched and yawned, sleepwear a tanktop and boxers, looking up and smiling drowsily.

Kristen glanced around them, the mental projection ceased with her waking. "Forgive the intrusion, Charlotte, but you have been sleeping for days upon end. Your little ones became worried and asked for us to wake you."
Stella jumped to her feet as the door reverted to its normal state. A smile crossed her face, and she headed downstairs to deliver the good news to those waiting upon them...and also for dinner. She was starving.
"Especially since the memories are actually yours," Sosol sighed. "Ever try storing them somewhere...? I haven't myself, but I've heard it can be done...I bet it would be a snap for a djinn."

"I could do that if I wanted."
He held the glass, making a sound in his throat like he was retching, then spilled, a blue murky wisp emanating from his mouth and flowing into the glass.
"But the thing is, I'm a little clumsy with keeping track of things. Plus there's the risk of someone accidentally taking in my memories. So."
He threw the glass back, gulping the wisp down like an ale, and then clinking it down, a clear strike of pain wreaking his face as he experienced parts of his life all over again in that glass.

She rubbed her forehead. "So that was it...It was a strong one too...I don't always dream that hard, but when I do, it's never been for so...oh, wait. I know what happened."
She picked up Fee and waggled a loving finger in his face. "If you didn't fall asleep in my coat pocket, you woulda woken me up on time, silly bean!" He chittered happily and gnawed on her finger a little.
She laughed, cuddling him. "The little tweak-ball must have spazzed on you guys! I would have probably woken up sooner than later, but my dream got way interesting, because you came in...I could watch, you know?" She smiled affectionately at the tree in her room. "I'm sorry for so much trouble...I can explain whatever you're wondering, if you like."

"I suppose you have a point there," Sosol nodded. "It's part of the reason I never tried it myself...definitely not, after I saw the complications in another person's attempts."
"I see...I am glad we could entertain you, but I must ask...I can understand why Felix would be granted entry into your dreamscape, but I am baffled as to how I slipped through myself." Kristen admitted. "I figured I had a piece of your mind...but how, other than an accidental glance or two?"

"And that's where I am right now."
He sighed, looking at the glass half-full.
"And despite all this brain-boggling I've been going through... I can't help but miss Charlotte throughout all of this..."

"Hey, you weren't entertainment!" she pouted. "You both are better than that! Now...piece of mind? Let me think...well, Wolfy'd get in because I've been in his head, getting rid of the Warden when she was trying to bug him...and...hm. Oh! I know!'
She pointed, beaming. "The GMO raid! I was funneled through your head to bother Sybil! I bet you had a harder time getting in, didncha?"

"Then you'd be happy to know that she's finally awake," Stella announced, arriving in the main room. "Seems like everyone's fine...bet they'll be hungry, though."
"Oh...!" Kristen laughed, having nearly forgotten about that noise pollution tactic. "Um, I suppose...? I rested against the door, and was pulled through by vines. It was...a bit unsettling, but a fortunate accident."
"That's great news!" Sosol smiled. "Maybe she'll help take your mind off your mind..." He said, standing up to see what they could pull together for dinner. "Stella, a little help in the kitchen, please?"
"I haven't cooked anything besides potions in a while..." She said sheepishly, following.
"Then we'll make chili...it's the same idea."

Albee managed a faint smile as he watched them all, the inn starting to look the way it did when he'd first came. He snickered as he remembered his old clothes: wrapped up face, gloves, scarves, not a piece of skin showing save for his one eye... And the good times would keep on rolling.
"That sounds great!"

"I'm glad. My brain wasn't too much trouble, was it? I feel pretty bad about all of this." she frowned apologetically. "I'd like to pay you back...I mean, Kristen, you worked so hard with the Doubt Faeries...a-and Wolfy, you crossed a bridge."

"That was amazing, Felix," Kristen echoed. "What would I ask of you for reparation? You were not much of an inconvenience...it only has been one night, has it not?"
"Alright...I'm going to cut up and brown some of this," Sosol said with a smile. "You take that pot there and fill it with these." He gestured to various cans of beans, peeled tomatoes, and chiles. "Put it on heat, and stir until it's time to add the rest."
"...you really aren't kidding, are you?" Stella blinked, setting to her designated task. "Is it odd that I haven't cooked that much...?"
"I'm just guessing you've been eating from the office cafeteria a bit too much for your own good," Sosol answered, the look on her face revealing the truth of the statement. "We have some decent cooks around here...they could give you a refresher course."
"We'll see...after the chili."

Albee was second-guessing himself on whether or not to visit Charlotte. He wasn't sure how she'd take his new appearance and clear change in attitude. His slumped in his chair and poured himself another apple juice, the earlier joy having left as soon as it had come.
"Did someone say cook~?"
Howard appeared at the top of the stairs, stepping down quickly to the kitchen and waving to all. He simply sniffed the air. Beans, chili...
"Makin' chili?"
(Ah, schmoot. Gotta go...)

Felix smiled sheepishly, fangs shining. "Well, I didn't want to leave you in that state..."
"Well, that's lovey-dovey and all, but how the he'll did I wind up in your dream... Room... Thingie?" Dorian squawked, tired of being ignored.

"In here, it has been...but, I'm grateful." he said, looking at Felix with a grin, giving him a hug. "For example, I am going to make this man here the best sandwich. And I don't mean the best sandwich like how everyone says 'oh wow, this is the best sandwich'. I mean the best sandwich. Surely there's something you want...and I don't even give the mean gifts like gems and flowers from your lips when you speak."
She looked at Dorian. "That, I can't explain. Perhaps we were on the same wavelength?"
