[Video] A Nightmare's Curiosity

[phobophage]

[A tortured stasis shrieks from the Vine, accompanied by vague shadowy impressions of a face in the mirror, with red eye glowing. The video quickly cuts out. A while later, it resumes, showing an empty backdrop of the Gardens before cutting out again. Finally, the video returns and stays, showing an oddly monochrome teenager.]

This is so fascinating. This place all feels weird and I can't really grasp things here which's kind of irritating, but it should be interesting learning how here works. I wonder if this is what another Queen's Dream World feels like. Or is that too much of an assumption? But I'd love to learn this Queen's secrets.

And did you enjoy my welcome? I had to work hard to get the Vine to do that. I can't get the mirror to act like a portal which's rather annoying but other than that it just took a little fear to make it cooperate. Oh, would you know anything about this Queen? And if I could build dreams here, I wouldn't do it at her whim, but it's still annoying that I can't seem to do that even when I want to. Has anyone succeeded in building anything here?

...I should be really happy to hear there are Nightmares that aren't on their side, but...

Okay. Let's try again.

I'm Sara. I'm a Dream pilot, dealing with Nightmare bad guys. Who are you and do you know what's going on?

I've no idea at all other than that amusingly enough some other Queen's managed to pull me here into her world from my Queen's world. I'd love to know how she did that. And I'm Deimonea.

I wouldn't consider it amusing, and yeah, I wanna know so we can block it. But that's about it.

I guess you wouldn't need to sleep or eat...

[phobophage]

Oh, fear is my delicious diet. But you're right, I don't sleep.

...You know that doesn't really surprise me. Guess those places we found were... factory farms.

[phobophage]

Those places?

[lolinnocent.livejournal.com]

Big living buildings full of Blissed.

[phobophage]

Blissed? Are those the unconscious Dreamers Anna Lin mentioned?

You've met the Major, huh. Yes, that's what we call them. They smile.

[Nice bouquet on this '18 Existential Terror you just managed to uncork, Dee.]

[Inwardly, Deimonea licked her lips.]

Your world's an interesting one. I wonder why they would've considered a solution like that. It's not as if there's a shortage of nightmares. They must've been really out for your destruction. Which's stupid.
