Steven had presented the idea earlier in the day, after the negotiations with the Wyld Fae. They had to be getting closer to the Ringmaster, and from the sounds of it, they could be getting close to the Red Beast as well. With a limited number of ways to get new information, he can't help but make the offer: to use his dream walking abilities to try to contact one or both of their missing Wyld Fae.

Of course, nobody seems that enthusiastic about him doing something like that alone, either. He kind of agrees, but what else can he do? After some mucking around, he ends up with an honestly screwball plan, but one that's better than nothing. He gets together Peridot, Syrlya, and Gongenzaka, to test to see if they can all end up in the same dreamscape together.

He's only ever visited one person at a time before, but it's worth a shot - right?

Several carnival members also volunteer to guard them while they sleep. Amethyst turns into a weird purple tent, and Steven gets the other three to get inside with him, that night. Maybe being closer will make astral projecting into each other easier. He thinks about all of those he's gathering with, focusing on them as he eventually drifts off.

When he finds himself lucid again, he'll be flitting through Peridot's dreams.
