[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?

That sounds like either more than your usual share of despair, or more power than any one person needs.

Although a lot more interesting and realistic than a video game plot, at least.

[phobophage]

It was both. It's a good thing the main danger's over. There're only a few here and there to be mopped up.

It'd be worse if this Queen took me away before the end of the Dream War.

That sounds like it'd be inconvenient. To put it lightly.

Compared to that, I'm not even important enough to miss.

[phobophage]

Berry'd say everyone's important enough to miss.

Well, I'm pretty sure my family and classmates will be pretty put out. I just can't imagine that kind of responsibility. Keeping the whole world from destruction...

[phobophage]

It's not like I was the only one doing it. For things like that, you really need other people too.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good point. Things like that usually are a team thing. Assuming you're not a video game or movie or something.

[phobophage]

By the end, hundreds of Dream Saviors were involved.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

So not a small skirmish.

[phobophage]

If it was a small skirmish, we wouldn't have called it the Dream War.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Hah, yeah, good point.

But you guys won it, presumably meaning that... I guess we'll keep having dreams and also terrible nightmares for the forseeable future.

[phobophage]

Yes.
