Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ First Dream Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ Forwarded to late night

[byakkoyagirl]

[Good evening Luceti. Are you all doing well? Lets hope you're getting some good rest and shut eye because it's usually a long day in the craziest village ever.

Tonight another New Feather will arrive. A rather late arrival, but she came to join all of you. Dropping from the sky at full speed and then disappearing in a flash. Give her a good welcome as she comes to visit you while you sleep. No, she's isn't the tooth fairy. Or the sandman. She's another thing entirely.

Enjoy having a special visitor in your dreams.]

[She's surprised to suddenly have any help, but especially help from an unfamiliar person dressed in even more unfamiliar clothing. Though she's distracted for barely a fraction of a second, it's sufficient time for one of the men to come up behind her and strike her in the back of the head with a staff. Ayumu topples forward, her eyes moving toward where she'd last seen Susumu, but even as she hits the ground....

...she's standing in her familiar kitchen, hair pulled up under its usual cloth and sleeves tied back. She picks up the kitchen knife and begins chopping vegetables as though that's what she had been doing all along.]

[Paprika, almost completely unfazed by the sudden change, is sitting near a table.]

That was some scene. The sudden jump was cool.

[ayu_nee]

[She glances up with an expression of surprise.]

And you are?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

I'm Paprika. Nice to meet you. Sorry if I surprised you a little. It's like that for everyone the first time.

[ayu_nee]

The first time... what?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

The first time making a friend. First time drinking.

In this case, the first time meeting me. [She then takes a sip from her cup, yes she has a cup now that was always there, and smiles a little.] We're in your dream.

[ayu_nee]

[Ayumu grows still for a moment, considering that. Jarring, certainly. And strange. But... she doesn't disbelieve it. Except that she's never met this person before. That's the really strange part.]

If this is my dream, why are you here?

[Casual she may sound, but she hasn't put the knife down. Ah, suspicion.]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of lost between dreams from what I can gather. It's actually a little embarrassing, so don't spread the word about it.

[ayu_nee]

I... wasn't planning to.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

That's what I like to hear! So, what's your name?

[ayu_nee]

Ah...

[Well. She doesn't seem unfriendly, whoever she is. Ayumu gives a mental shrug, wondering what made her dreams so odd tonight.]

My name is Ayumu. Do you often visit other peoples' dreams?

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I usually know beforehand. Like I said it's a little embarrassing. Tell me, are you from a place called Luceti?

[ayu_nee]

[She considers a moment longer, then sets down the knife and reaches up to remove the cloth on her head, absently shaking out her hair once it's free.]

Not originally, but I'm there now. I just arrived a few days ago.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

A few days ago, huh? Interesting. [So it looks like everyone she was meeting comes from this place.] Is it nice? I haven't exactly seen the place myself yet.

[ayu_nee]

For a place that isn't home... it's not bad. Everyone seems friendly enough.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

I've met a few people already. Seemed nice enough to me.

[She lets the water flow around her cup, before deciding to move onto a different topic.]

So, about what happened before. What was that about?

[ayu_nee]

[She doesn't pause or flinch, being far too well trained for that; Ayumu simply smiles, the cheerful and unconcerned smile of the ordinary cook.]

Who knows what dreams mean? They can be so strange sometimes, making no sense at all.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[She hums.]

Our dreams are pretty strange. It's a door to the mind really. [She gets up and comes near Ayumu] Do you want to explore some more?

[ayu_nee]

Explore? [She blinks a couple of times, brows lifting in an inquiring expression.] My dreams, you mean? I can't imagine why that could be of interest.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Don't sell yourself so short! Everyone is interesting in their own way. So, do you want to go or not?

[ayu_nee]

Mm, I think I'll be okay with dreaming by myself. But thank you for the offer~

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[She blinks. Yeah she's pretty sure you're hiding something Ayumu. No one goes from a fight scene to a cooking scene in just a split second for no reason.

But she backs off. She isn't going to nag her into doing it. Last time she did that the person almost shut themselves down.]

I understand. [a smile smile appears on her features] Just don't say you aren't interesting, okay? Everyone is. [at least that's how she sees it.]

[ayu_nee]

[What a very bizarre dream this is. But Ayumu still just smiles, waving a hand at the comment.]

Oh, of course, of course. I just thought you'd not be interested in watching me dream about making dinner.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

Probably not. [She goes back to the table.] But, I think I might be interested in eating what you made for dinner.
