Shimmering blue blanketed the underground city as the light reflected off the sapphires in the ceiling. It cast its eerie glow, almost mimicking the effect of light on water without the sort of freeing peace one might feel with the soft ocean waves. Figuring out how deep down the city was located was near impossible when the air was obviously heated to something approaching comfortable, and nothing seemed to echo too far past the quiet hum of the city.

Workers made their way down the street, every one with a Sleeper in tow. Something that would have been unheard of only a few days ago, now more likely than one would think. They intended to start slow, but considering how many others were still in cryo, this was a laidback pace.

"A few hours ago," he said, waving a hand. "Long enough to know there's nothing worth seeing." And nothing he could pinpoint that would explain his own presence, let alone Sable's. He pulled his ID from his pocket and held it out to show the name and photo. "Who are you meant to be?"

As White explained, Sable nodded. He could have easily guessed there was nothing worth seeing, at least not at first glance. And it was still odd not being aware of what was going on...

He squinted at the ID and stepped forward to look at it more closely, then fished his own out of his jacket pocket and offered it to White. "David. David Mathis." A pause. "Related."

"Apparently." And there was something amusing about that, at least. "Have you run into anyone else?" Anyone else interesting -- White didn't think anyone they hadn't known... before, in the "dream", was likely to be of much help.

He shook his head. "No, I haven't."

He put his ID away again - he didn't feel like looking it over anymore, or thinking about what it could possibly represent in all of... this.

"I didn't really expect to see anyone at all," he added.

White, on the other hand, was fiddling with his ID. "I didn't expect to be here," he said, shrugging — whatever was going on was absolutely above his paygrade, which meant he had very little interest in attempting to untangle it. He cocked his head to the side, trying to find a way to say that he was glad to see Sable without actually saying it. "At least we're both here."

"We could have been on our own." He shrugged. "This is probably best for us." He paused, smiled just faintly. "Maybe we won't be the last of us here."

"A strange place for a reunion." But he was cheered by the thought of it. Death's presence would all but confirm that they were meant to be here, and War was always a welcome addition. "Is there anything we should try for in the meanwhile?"

And Sable... actually frowned, just so.

"How?"

As much as he didn't want to admit to his new human form and powerless state, it was growing increasingly hard to ignore with each passing second.

((OoC: Feel free to ignore if this is too late, I know it's been a while. ♥ I'll understand.))
