don't go around tonight, it's bound to take your life

Who: Ira and you
Which: Interactive Dream; Open
What: Ira's having Nightmares, Ira's spreading Nightmares. Nightmares for everyone!
Warnings: Might be some spooky stuff and violence



A - Nightmares

[Ira has been having nightmares.

It isn't that surprising, thinking about it. He was exposed to the Nightmare energy in the city, perhaps more than he should have been. To say nothing of the weights on his Heart. He knows the difference now, between what are his memories and what aren't, even if they still feel like they are. It's been a long road to walk.

There isn't a particular theme to this Nightmare. Indeed some of his worst fears have already been broadcast. But it is a Nightmare nonetheless.

Ira walks alone through distorted streets at night. The buildings, a mishmash of various towns and places, dark and tilted, some towering over him, others oddly shaped. He is lost, armed with a vague notion of where he is going but every turn seems to keep him away from where he desperately wants to go. It might be odd to call out in your own dream but he does. He needs helps.]



Where am I? Can someone help me?

...please...

[B - Night Mares]

[If Ira is able to escape his Nightmares, he is changed.

He's taken a similar form before, but this one perhaps seems more malevolent due to the excess energy. What enters your dream comes in a mass of black clouds and shadow. He moves within them, both a defined form and part of the shadow. A Unicorn of awesome size, with glowing red eyes and a slate grey horn. His mane and tail waving between navy blue and deep purple. It would be majestic were it not for the Darkness rolling off of him.

Whatever dream he enters is sure to become a Nightmare, as he stalks, slowly through.

A challenge is met with the pawing of the ground with his hoof and the horn lowering to a deadly angle.]


[C - A Shadowed Heart]

[Whether Ira is saved from his Nightmares or ultimately beaten back, it ends up in the same place. Some from his world may recognize it as a Station. A large pillar with a stained glass image that represents one's Heart.

Ira's Heart looks worn, there is shadow and cracks and places where it does not shine as brightly as it is meant to. One can see images, slightly cracked, of the other foretellers, of two hooded figures wearing very familiar coats, the image of a Unicorn that is his crest. Every so often, something seems to shift as some part of him tries to organize the memories that are his and aren't. There are places where it's been reinforced but there's also the sense that it needs more.

But it's a brief look, before everyone wakes up.

But if you've seen Ira's Heart, it might be worth reaching out. Or he will, once he's a little more awake]

[Erichthonios' dreamscape is already a dreary-looking place, dark clouds exuding reflecting violet light before a building complex of grey stones not unlike a castle right out of a horror-genre tale. Statues flank the front entrance -- three-headed serpents turned anthropomorphic from the shoulders down. Chains seem to crisscross the very sky; a place warded and separated from the world beyond.

Erichthonios appears to be waiting for someone in the dream, but as he looks towards the neus -- the teleportation apparatus he expects his visitor to appear from, he instead sees the unicorn.]


A monoceros...?

[Brows lifting in surprise, he starts towards the great creature, concern budding as he takes in its unusual appearance.]

You've come a long way from your place in Elpis... What have you gotten yourself into?

...It is.

[Though unafraid of the creature's appearance -- yet fiercer creations reside within the gated walls -- Erichthonios is nevertheless surprised by it's ability to speak.]

I have not heard of a monoceros being capable of speech before.

Feel free to change the dreamscape at will btw

...

[Even for one who processes thoughts as slowly as Erichthonios, the tone of a threat does not go unnoticed. Brows draw low, his expression turning serious.]

If you are not a monoceros that has wandered here by mistake due to confusion wrought by an aetherial imbalance, then tell me... why are you here?

[For a place as unaffected by outside weather as Pandaemonium is, the sudden change bodes ominous. Could it be the visitor's doing...? He does not think it the work of Hegemone, yet recovering as she is...

...Such is how he remembers her, at least.]


And what is it that you require it for?

[That... draws Erichthonios' interest.]

What is it that is in need of fixing...? And what manner of dreams are required to mend it?

...

[Upon this, Erichthonios falls into somber reflection. It sounds as though the... figure, has a weighty problem to contend with. To protect something...]

...If it be necessary to save another, do as you need.
