Ugh. I keep having nightmares.

Anyways, this might interest some of you guys.

So dude was having an unofficial off-the-grid Riding Duel, a la Street Racing. Witnesses mention another biker showed up and challenged him to a Duel.

Thing is, the Duel ends like a few seconds out of nowhere with the guy's bike crashing, and the opponent nowhere to be seen. But the bike has a full (but heavily corrupted) Duel Log for about a half-hour's worth of contents.

And the witnesses report the biking Duelist was acting erratically after the Duel.

The duel ended in a few seconds but has a whole half an hour's log?
That sounds really odd.

How was the guy acting erratically?

It shouldn't be possible.

All I keep getting from notes and transcripts is "He didn't seem like himself", "His personality seemed off kilter", "He seemed paranoid".

If there's one thing I've learned is that nothing is impossible.
Maybe it's some kind of time distortion?

Possible, but if it was, it'd probably have a bigger effect on the rest of the city.

Hmm, that's true.
Let me know if something like this happens again.

Will do, as usual, as a courtesy.

What kind of nightmares?

Could they be brought on by too much stress or the like?

... Just mostly bad memories of the last few year mixed with nightmareish imagery.

Probably, except there hasn't been that much stress. The biggest thing we've had lately is this string of weird UFO sightings and that incident with the Bujinki

That can't be fun. How often are they happening?

It could be stress that's not related to work. ...or maybe something's keeping you from sleeping well. I'm just shotgunning here.

I've only had them once or thrice. I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm not really doing anything stressful recently, in fact I recently took up Yoga classes.

Hmm... if you say so. Just that it seems like there's always a deeper reason around here... or at least that it bodes ill.

Yoga, huh? How're you liking that? I know that Yoga can go all the way from the very mild (and not really yoga) to near martial art difficulty.

Not everything around here needs to have a deeper reason. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

It's pretty soft Yoga. I do it with a bunch of moms and lazy college grads/recent secretaries.

Maybe you're right.

Ah. Well, hopefully that's nice and relaxing, then. Must just be something you watched or something.

Probably. I end up falling asleep in a chair with a frozen dinner and crappy movies on.

... That could do it. Who knows what you end up hearing in your sleep.

...

What's with that last dotting.

...nothing. It's none of my business.

Then don't dot, it's rude.

...sorry.
