There's something else I realized I loved about Inceptionverse that your fic rly exploited, er, picked up on. :) How people in this line of work a. are the most fucking observant people in the world, and b. don't ever fully trust anything.
I mean, they'd have to be observing everything and thinking on its meaning to build dreams. And they'd have to be skeptical all the time to make sure they were in the real world. Totem and all that. Which leads to kind of an instinctual mistrust of any situation (you have Arthur looking for exit points at an effing cafe) and the need to scope out everything (Arthur was there early, and watched at Eames payed off the carousel guy but waited to sit down after he could see everyone else was there). Or...mayeb he just didn't want to be stuck ordering the pastries??? :)
Anyway, yes, I stand by the Rave comparison. I you know I know what it means. So: do it for 30K and you'll be as good as her. Oh, I heart you, Lal!!
