"Yes, and clouds...."
One week out:
Oliver Brunei stepped into the common room. Lin Pey, Vera, and Lazar were sitting together, on what appeared to be a huge purple toadstool.
But that's my hallucination, thought Brunei. At least, I think it is.
"Hello Ollie," said Lazar.
"Hi. What're you doing?"
"We're looking at the dragon again," said Vera. "Join us?"
Brunei thought of the dragon for a moment. The toadstool disappeared, and the by-now-familiar bovine dragon took its place. In the last few days, they had discovered that if any two of them concentrated on something long enough to "materialize" it, anyone else who wanted to could see it in a moment.
"What's so interesting about that silly dragon?" said Brunei.
