Lilly does not generally look this disgruntled when putting up signs. Then again, she's usually putting up signs for parties or or strippers or people to take care of her children. This sign is not nearly so fun.

Having Nightmares?

Want company? Not like that, you perverts. I'm offering aid and whatever here, get it while it's hot.

P.S. Seriously. If you're having nightmares, I might be able to help.

Lilly is being studied by someone who looks no older than her. Tall, slim, dressed mostly in black and with dark hair everywhere, but the black eyes in that pale, pale face are ancient and knowing.

Her expression is also thoughtfully.

"You can help?" She asks at least, voice a breathy, ghostly thing.

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly sighs a little.

"I think I can, maybe? I have this thing."

She smiles wryly at the other girl.

"You having them too, huh?"

[sixlittleseeds.livejournal.com]

"No. But I've seen patrons stumbling down, covered in blood. A girl I met not the other day, and she'd been-" She presses her lips together.

"But, no nightmares for myself."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly's face darkens.

"Yeah, I've patched up a patron already too. This is pretty hardcore, I haven't seen anything this bad in bar for a while. Hence the sign, you know?"

[sixlittleseeds.livejournal.com]

She nods.

"I do. I was looking at the signs and notices myself, wondering I could help...dreams are not my area, but..."

[awesome_lilly]

"Well, they're not totally mine either, but I'm giving it a shot."

Lilly pauses.

"Oh, and I'm Lilly Kane, by the way. DeadNeptuneCaliforniaEarth2005. If you know people who are having nightmares, please, send them my way. I want to know who to look out for."

[hopeitsworthit]

Yeah, that sign?

No way in hell is that not getting Dean's attention.

"You offerin' up your services, Lilly?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Apparently."

Lilly shrugs, one-shouldered.

"I left for like- a couple weeks, tops, and when I came back I found out there was a nightmare epidemic. Since this is the rare bar crisis I can actually do something about, why not?"

[hopeitsworthit]

Dean's expression freezes.

"Nightmare epidemic?"

What the fucking fuck.

"Spill, Lilly."

[awesome_lilly]

"I don't know that much more about it. Yet."

Lilly's frowning.

"People are having nightmares, ones they're actually getting hurt in. They're waking up bleeding. And no one knows exactly what's causing it, so."

She waves at the sign.

"I'm going to see what I can find out."

[hopeitsworthit]

Dean's expression changes, settling into more stern lines.

"You think it's some kinda demon or something?"

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly makes a face.

"Not sure. It sounds like it's ghosts or something, instead. A haunted hospital, an evil doctor... good times. I'm really looking forward to it."

Kate noticed the sign, and brightened at that.

"Hi Lilly. What kind of help? I've been trying to investigate the nightmares some, along with this man named John Byers."

[awesome_lilly]

"Hey Kate."

Lilly smiles a little, hearing that.

"Oh good, I'm glad you're on it. I'm- well, I'm not totally sure I can really do much, but I do have this thing where I can get inside dreams. I'm hoping I could maybe find people while they're having the nightmares and get some idea of what the hell is causing them, maybe get them out, whatever I can do."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate nodded, "I understand somebody else made dream detectors, but that sounds even better. Just be careful if you do, sometimes there's this bad doctor that shows up." A subconscious gesture to her side for a moment where she almost bled out from her nightmares.

[awesome_lilly]

"A bad doctor? Awesome."

Lilly eyes her.

"So along with investigating, you've had one, right? Do you mind telling me about them? I want to know what to look for."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate nodded with a frown, rubbing her side a little, "Yeah, stabbed me in the leg with something that looked like an icepick, this was after getting stabbed with a sword earlier in the nightmare. Will was able to get me to the infirmary in time." Indicating the severity of it.

She then added, "Everybody's seen this old crumbling hospital, and many have seen dead people in their nightmares."

[awesome_lilly]

"God. I'm so glad you're okay."

Lilly shakes her head.

"And thanks for the info, I'll look out for that. Old crumbling hospital, dead people... maybe I'll blend."

A small alien woman in a black environmental suit approaches Lilly with a metal box in hand. "Excuse me," she says, "but if you are going to be helping people who have had nightmares, do you think you could convince some of them to use these? They might help." Tali opens her box, which proves to be full of little metal gadgets. (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/19023051.html?thread=803377355#t803377355)

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly peers down at the box.

"Uh, sure. But maybe you could tell me what they are first?"

[stargypsy.livejournal.com]

"Nightmare detectors." Pause. "I know. It's a stupid name, but I couldn't think of anything to call them that doesn't sound stupid. You wear them on your forehead while you sleep. If they detect certain kinds of brain activity or other signs of intense dreaming, pain and distress, they sound an alarm. In principle, at least. I know they detect what they are intended to, but they have not yet been field-tested." Not like you can get a test subject to have a nightmare on command.

[awesome_lilly]

"Ohhh. I get the idea, though. Nice."

Lilly nods approvingly at the box.

"Good idea- oh. I'm Lilly, sorry I skipped the intros. What's your name?"

[stargypsy.livejournal.com]

"Tali," she says brightly. "Nice to meet you.

"You see the little numbered stickers on those? If it is not too much trouble, I would like you to write down the name of the person you give one to, next to the number of the unit. That way I can enter it in the monitoring console."

[awesome_lilly]

"I will, totally."

It's a sensible system.

"I have to warn you, I'm going at this kinda like, the opposite way. I'll be looking for people in the nightmares already, so once I find them I can tell them about these, but I don't know who all I can get to before."

Shego looks at the sign doubtfully, eyes scanning the girl next to the sign. This definitely wouldn't end well, she thought, and would probably involve some form of sharing on her part.

So with a mental "fuck this", Shego turns and walks away.
