1 👹 Dream Recording

[rudehero]

Sender: Yuri Hyuga
To: Everyone, if they don't mind the minor nightmare energy coming from it.
Subject: Passive Dream-turned-Nightmare Recording
Warnings: Some vague body horror descriptions (I tried to be not too graphic)



A lab is the place the dream picks up in.

A very old lab, in fact. Dimly lit with a large tube filled with liquid in the center, a giant crystal at its base. A very ancient man is chanting what seems to be a spell, following it up with the final words as something takes shape:

"...By the wheels of the Cherubim, take this soul beyond the Gates of Time!"

The form of a woman begins to take shape, Yuri's face reflected in the glass. The more she forms, the more worried his face in the glass.

But something happens, and the crystal beneath shatters, cracking the tube and nearly overloading the machine in the room. The reforming body in the tube begins to break away, disappearing. The face of the woman is still in the tube as the rest of her body disappears, and at the base, a dark liquid bubbles up.

He knows this. He knows he stops it. But this time it doesn't stop and dissipate when he wills it away, or tries to. Instead it invades the tube through the cracks, turning the last bit of the woman's soul into something beginning to become twisted and unlike what she was, the last bit of her voice that would have said sweet words to him becoming distorted and deep, only repeating "It hurts, it hurts."

The nightmare abruptly ends as Yuri is forcibly woken.

[Oh no... she's cute. Lyria reminds him of Jeanne, almost.]

yeah. i can see her anytime, it's all right. i'll be all right. thanks.

[Alice had said that, before they were off to the last battle and all... though he's curious if that's still possible here. Hmm.]

well, at least i think i can. i haven't tried since i got here.

[azuresong]

[ It's hard to tell what someone is truly feeling like behind paper, but Lyria will certainly believe them! ... At least, for now.

Believe me, she could keep encouraging you for as long as you needed-

But what he does say does peak her interest. ]

are they in this world? how... can you see them if they are not here?

[rudehero]

not quite. it's... hard to explain, but i can see her if i want.

[Well... maybe. If he was in his own world, he'll still have to try here.]

i'm kinda scared to look though, heh. seems kinda silly to be scared about something like that, isn't it?

[azuresong]

i dont think its silly at all to be scared! i get scared all the time but i know i have people who will look out for me and encourage me, too!

you dont have to do it if it makes you uncomfortable, though.

[rudehero]

you're right. she was looking out for me and she encouraged me a ton.

i really should look. it might make me feel better, too.

[azuresong]

I think it would, too. It might be a little painful but... you always have people looking out for you, I'm sure of it!

[rudehero]

[azuresong]

[rudehero]

[Oh no she's cute... she definitely reminds him of Jeanne and that just kicks the need and want to make sure she's happy into gear.]

[azuresong]
