That's one way to put it.

I'll send along some instructions. But if you want, we can meet up beforehand and go over it. Not too technical, just specific.

[mylawn]

Might as well just tell me now, then.

[pointedlook]

There's going to be a timer; it'll wake us up when it finishes. If someone wakes up beforehand, leave the rest asleep.

If for some reason the timer doesn't wake someone up or if there's an emergency, just tip that person out of their chair. The shift in gravity is called a "kick"; it'll trigger inner-ear function and they'll wake up.

Everyone should have something called a totem on them. If they wake up ahead of time, you might need to remind them it exists.

[mylawn]

[Yes, that all sounds like something he can do. It's almost...too easy...]

Why's that?

[pointedlook]

It's there to remind them what's real and what isn't. Standard operating procedure. None of them are allowed to dream without it; I'll be checking beforehand.

[mylawn]

Something tells me this system might be fallible.

[pointedlook]

If someone really wants to stay in a dream, there's no real way to convince them otherwise.

They've been briefed on the risks.

[mylawn]

All right. Just let me know when you need me.
