Who: You =D
When: Day 114, Evening and alll night long~
Where: In ur dreams
What: Dream post!

[Maybe you have gotten used to the regular hum of the HQ's engines as it flies slowly over a rippling canopy. Maybe you even find their sound soothing as you drift off tonight... Or maybe you don't drift off at all, maybe wherever you are, whatever you were doing, you just find yourself inexplicably sleepy.

Whatever it is, you end up in dreams. Your dreams? Or someone else's? It's hard to say.]



((OOC: DREAM POST!

For those of you who have never participated in a dream post, everyone interested in running a character's dream posts a top level comment and people comment to that to be in that character's dream. There are basically no rules about how it works! Be a lucid dreamer, don't be, figure it out halfway through, push and pull between who controls the dream. w/e have fun! If you need an OOC excuse to be asleep you can totally assume Rew's power just made your character unreasonably tired at some point. Solitary dreamers will find ocean waters rising in and drowning out their dreams, but Rew won't be making any appearances in this post.))

[examining the shadows]

[nometal_alchemist]

*they flicker and shift in the light, all hard edges and sharp points. some of them almost look like gaping, toothy mouths*

[nolongerslate]

[jerks back]

[hang on, let's check this first -- poke it with the flat of his sword]

[nometal_alchemist]

*it doesn't seem to have liked that, judging by the way the shadows wrap around the sword, attempting to pull it into the darkness*

[nolongerslate]

[is going to tug his sword back (but if it comes down to it, the darkness can keep the sword)]

[nometal_alchemist]

*it resists, like pulling something out of thick mud, but you retrieve the sword successfully.

the shadows continue to shift and twitch*

[nolongerslate]

[changes his light spell into a flash to clear out the shadows. Take that!]

[nometal_alchemist]

*the shadows stretch, thinning and breaking apart in the range of the flash. the darkness at the edges, however, are darkening. and looking much more toothy.

...and they might be looking at you.*

[nolongerslate]

[shit]

I have more light where that comes from. Don't try anything

[nometal_alchemist]

*maybe they want to be friends. :)

for the moment, at least, they're not moving*

[nolongerslate]

[good. I'm just going to back up slowly]

[nometal_alchemist]

*the shadows stay where they are*

[nolongerslate]

[still watching them]

[nometal_alchemist]

*they are watching you back. there's no doubt about that now.*

[nolongerslate]

[getting back a safe distance before turning around... or what he thinks is safe (and Zel is pretty paranoid)]

[nometal_alchemist]

*the shadows move impossibly fast, tendrils snaking out from the darkness to wrap your legs*

[nolongerslate]

Shit!

[tries to hold his balance and not be knocked over by the shadows]

Elemekia Lance!

[have a spell of spirit energy heading for them]

[nometal_alchemist]

*the ones wrapping you break apart, dissolving past where they're severed. more are rushing in around the light from the spell, however, this time more sharp-edged*

[nolongerslate]

[well, now I'm going to fire off another spell and run]

[nometal_alchemist]

*you're holding them off enough to get a head-start, at least, but they're following*

[nolongerslate]

*going to make a break for the nearest entrance to the outside*

[nometal_alchemist]

*through the door you can see that outside it's even darker than in the building. behind you, the sharp, pointy shadows lurch forward, attempting to strike*

[nolongerslate]

[Well... shit]

[diving out of the way]

[nometal_alchemist]

*you're in the dark. it's nearly pitch-black out here.




it's quiet.*

[nolongerslate]

What now...
