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]

[However good-intended it is, playing the Sora card is always going to carry the hint of a threat to it, because Sora is a force of nature. Roxas knows this, and knows that sometimes, it's worth leaning on that threat.]
But really... you shouldn't have to do things on your own. We might not all be Masters, but we've faced our fair share of challenges together. And what's more, you're a friend of ours now. We won't leave you behind.
no subject
Ira knows all this, on some level. He knows he shouldn't do things on his own (and he's given that lecture himself. How often do we not take our own advice?). He knows that this generation of keyblade wielders has faced their own challenges, and overcome them, in ways that make Ira prouder than he can even say (given his hand in them, no matter how small). He has formed bonds with them, and tried to impart even a little bit of advice or knowledge.
But Friends is an important word, especially in their world. Friends are one's power, after all. And it means a lot, more than Ira probably expected, to hear that he is counted among this group. He doesn't even know where he stands with the other Foretellers.
He is not even sure what to say. He's trying to hide it, but his voice is a little choked up.]
Thank you, Roxas. That means a lot.
I suppose, once I figure something out. I should let you all know.
no subject
That's alright. Just don't forget we're here with you, okay? We won't let you fall to the darkness.
[He pauses, thinking for a moment, before tilting his head.]
You know, if you haven't yet, you really should talk to Riku and Vanitas. Riku got made a Master now, and he's learned how to live with the Darkness in his own heart. He even uses it without it affecting him. You might learn some tricks from him. As for Vanitas... [He pauses, face twisting into a frown.] Well, he might be hard to talk to at first, but he means well when you get to know him. And he's lived with Darkness his whole life. He knows what it can do.
no subject
[And he will, he promises himself that much. It is good to have these bonds again. Bonds that he thought he had lost during the Keyblade War.]
I believe Riku and I have talked around the subject a little, but it might be time for a deeper discussion.
I do not believe Vanitas and I have spoken much, but that is another avenue.
no subject
[Roxas is glad to hear it. After a brief pause, he adds,]
Don't be afraid, okay? We're all here for you.
no subject
And I will do my best not to be.
[Certainly fear will only drive his Heart further into Darkness. But it's easier to be strong when you know you're not alone.]
