[YEAH, HE'S STILL ANNOYED. Fortunately, the bark's louder than the bite on Travis: it's not enough to actually get him to avoid Arthur. also he honestly has no friends here anyways]
dont tell me you have to kill somebody to wake them up every time
yeah i'm not about to read a novel about it i'm in my capsule. [his location isn't secure, either; Arthur should be able to spot it fairly easily.] And gimme the cliff's notes version if you can.
[--is the greeting Arthur gets, as the capsule door slides open to reveal Travis leaning, ever-so-casual, on the frame.]
C'mon in, mi capsule es su capsule. [He steps back to reveal a fairly standard capsule: neither he nor Ryuji have amassed much in terms of personal effects, so the only thing that hints that it's been lived in, really, is the fact that their beds aren't made and that Travis' jacket is tossed over his bed.]
[ Travis, are you trying to look cool with the frame lean?
In any case, Arthur nods at the greeting and steps in after Travis moves to the side in invitation. Of course, everything inside is going to look rather uniform. Just maybe the layout is swapped, from being at a slightly different angle on base. ]
Thanks. I brought notes; hopefully they're not too...much.
[ He knows he can get carried away. ] Where do you want me to start?
Notes...? Damn, I didn't think it was gonna be that detailed. [he blinks in surprise, but takes a seat anyway after pulling a chair out for Arthur too.]
How 'bout with a why? What do people get out of messing around with their dreams?
More like diagrams. It can be hard to explain, otherwise. [ With the levels in dreaming. What all the timing is, the effects that get amplified as one gets further and further down. He's brought a couple technical drawings of paradoxes; one of his favorite things, naturally, to explain.
Arthur takes a seat, not waiting for too long before tipping the chair onto its two back legs. The papers are set in his lap as he considers Travis' question. ]
That depends on who you ask. In my particular line of work, there's a lot of theft– corporations paying well to get information from competitors. Whether that's blackmail, idea generation, formulas, account codes; you get the idea.
[ It's not the squeaky clean side of dreamshare. ]
Others use it for less dirty applications. It started initially, as a military project before being released more publicly. The military wanted to use it for training soldiers since it would ultimately cost less than field work. After going to the civilians, it's been used for research, in the medical field, sciences. Occasionally people use it for themselves. It's not recommended for wholly personal use, though.
[As Arthur explains, Travis glances at the precarious perch he holds on the chair-- it'd be far too easy to knock that thing over, not that he would...]
So you're like a professional dream thief's what I'm hearing. [His forehead wrinkles in consideration.] Not bad. Sounds like some sci-fi heist flick waiting to happen. [ba-dum-tsssh]
Personal use... Bet you've heard this question before, but anybody ever use it for anything dirty? Like, reliving sex dreams over and over or what?

There's other ways, but it involves a lot of careful planning before you go in a dream.
