[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 would love to learn how she acquired that power.

She may have always had it.

[phobophage]

True enough. But I refuse to accept that certain will always possess that power while others will always lack it.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

And why do you say that?

[phobophage]

Why, because I want that kind of power.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Not just a nightmare, but an ambitious one.

[phobophage]

I don't see why everyone doesn't aim for limitless power.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Because those that try often lose themselves in their aims.

And those that succeed can often make other disinclined to pursue the same path.

My goal's really simple. To create my own world. The ultimate artistic expression.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Well I must say I cannot disagree with that idea or ambition.

[phobophage]

The goal's remote, but one day I'll get it.

You should have plenty of time, assuming dreams don't die.

[phobophage]

I'm likely to have enough time.
