A conversation. May, 2006.
You came.
Not often I get called by one of your kind.
Tha's no' true. You get called b"my kind all th' time.
No. I get called by my kind. Not yours. We're close, maybe, but we aren't the same, Morpheus.
You mean those o"my pantheon.
Yes. You Greeks. Romans. Whatever you're calling yourselves now. You avoid me.
No we do no". We jus" don' deal.
Same thing, my pretty. So. What do you want from me"
Someone died. She shouldn't 'ave.
You want me to pull a Lazarus with her" Why not chat with Hades like Orpheus did"
I don't know who has 'er.
So' Can't Hades find out' Or Hermes" Or one of your other buddies. Hey, your uncle is big with the death folks, isn't he" Why call me"
's no' tha' easy. 'ermes....I 'aven't been able t"talk to 's much. No' like I used to. Same wit' 'ades. Thanatos won' give tha' sort o' information out. No' t"me. You 'ave a way wit' people tha' I don".
Oh, my. That almost sounds like flattery. You must really want my help.
I do. I wan' 'er t"be alive.
I might not be able to do anything.
I won' give y' anything wit"out 'er walkin" the world again, like she was.
Of course. Of course. Now"what are you willing to give me"
Name y"r price. 'll tell y' if"n I'm willin" t"pay.
One task, of my choosing. To be completed after you learn of her return, of course.
Fair 'nough. Can y'do it'
I don't know. You'll find out soon enough, won't you?
I 'ope so, aye.
Care to seal the deal"
O?course. Three mugs o' mead, aye'
That's right. Bottoms up, Sir Dream.

((This conversation, obviously, happened a while back. I'm using this as an IC reason for Morpheus to have been gone, while the OOC reason is that I've been having trouble getting myself inside his head. He went from my main character to a secondary character a while back, and I've come to realize that, weird as I'd been making him, he was still thinking too much like a human. So...if I decide I can get back into the state of mind to play him, he will be back. Until then, the outcome of this will explain why he's vanished. Events here have had no effect on anyone other than Morph, even if it might seem so. Unless someone wants them to, in which case, let me know.))
