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 succeeds, and gets an inhuman yowl in reply. But then it lunges at her, teeth bared, until Derek gets in the way, and those fangs sink into him instead.]

[She braces for impact with the fangs, but when nothing comes she opens her eyes and-]

W-What did you do?! [She takes the sword again and swings it at the creature, now that it's preoccupied with Derek and not her.]

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Dammit, get out! He can't hurt me; I'm his host. But he can devour you!

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

And what about you? You really want me to just leave you here?!

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

...You can't do anything here.

[Derek turns his attention on the flailing creature, doing his best to start pushing it away.]

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[She's very adamant about not wanting to leave. It doesn't feel right to just abandon him. But that's when she looks at the marks on her wrist from when that creature grabbed her...]

Are...Are you sure? ...Is there really nothing I can do?!

[Derek's still struggling with his so called 'other self', but he manages to use the sword to pin the thing in place for a few seconds. He's suddenly up and running, attempting to grab Paprika's wrist on the way by and headed as far from 'it' as they can get.]

You can't kill it, and even if you could, you'd kill me too. It's part of me. But you aren't; you count as food.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[A part of him. She understands immediately and nods.]

Will you really be okay here alone?

[Derek slows; they aren't being followed for now. Now the dreamscape changes and they're walking along the coastline of Malibu, California.]

...Do this most nights. It'll be with me for the rest of my life. Can't get rid of it; it's a sickness in both body and soul, and there's no cure. But it transfers easily. One bite...once scratch, and it's over.

[For once the sudden jump surprises her. Maybe because she was just so wrapped up in the moment she didn't expect it. Not that she doesn't welcome it.]

When you say that...does it mean that you can get rid of it any time by just attacking someone?

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[Derek shakes his head.}

It means you'll get dragged to hell right along with me. It won't cure me, but it will infect you. And then we're both in trouble.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[She nods in understanding. But she wonders if a dream can even be infected by something like that.]

Does anyone else know this?

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

...A few friends. And they know what to do if it gets bad.

[byakkoyagirl.livejournal.com]

[...If her assumption is right about what he means, then she won't push it any further.]

Then I'll keep it secret too. [...] Not that I have much choice. It's my job after all.

Thanks. Don't need the whole village thinking I'm going to chow down on them.
