text, dated to brunchtime after the third wedding

[3point0]

Okay so here's the deal, I ran into one of the staff members emptying the trash from carriage 48 and a whole mess of dream boxes fell out. I mean like, a lot, both the last two days.

Don't know if that's what we smuggled them all in for, but they'd all been used. And the guy was spooked. Apparently the bigger ones cause attacks to the train or whole trains to be pulled into the dream or for the user to be able to pull parts of the dream into reality.

But here's the thing, he also said that a small-scale user could take the box and rewrite parts of reality with it. Pretty cool, right? How many boxes do you think there were? 'Cause we might be here awhile.

Oh, and he also said that you can always tell when something's a living dream, because they don't sleep. No matter how hard a thief tries to get them to. Sounds kinda awful.

Wait wait, before I go, Nynaeve wants me to ask if anyone's heard anything about the herbs or the tools going missing? 'Cause we don't know when those disappeared, right?

Or avoid a sleep enforced. A challenge.

[3point0]

Well. We could always get into people's rooms the old-fashioned way.

[downswing]

But we drop asleep at midnight.




( ...........says the man who would go to bed ahead of that too. )

[3point0]

But we still might know, right? If you're. Sleeping beside somebody?

[downswing]

You intend to sleep beside strangers?

[3point0]

Right.

[ Wangji is a total virgin. ]

Yes, I do that sometimes.

[downswing]

Shameless.

[3point0]

Hey, it may help.

[downswing]

You cannot visit the bed of every compartment.

[3point0]

No, I can visit one, and someone else might volunteer.

[downswing]

We are insufficient.

Best one man sleepless to travel compartments.

[3point0]

Yeah, but I don't see how that's an option.

[downswing]

You are.... adaptable.

[3point0]

Um, and in more words...?

[downswing]

We attempt your measure.

[3point0]

Great, okay, operation seduction is a go.

[downswing]

Perhaps rename the campaign.

[3point0]

You don't like it? You're not participating.

[downswing]

Only the name.

[3point0]

Operation: Stowaway

for seduction.

[ Weird when they can agree on something. ]

If you can get a hold of the string the staff uses, apparently that works. There's probably more than one of us posing as them.

[downswing]

They may monitor.

[somebadnews]

Maybe. If you're caught, finding out what they do about it might be more revealing than anything.

[downswing]

You assume failure.

[somebadnews]

Hope for it, in this case.
