Alone in the Darkness

[seasaltkeys]

Who: Roxas, Emizel, and whoever dares enter Twilight Town
What: Experimenting with nightmares. For Science.
Where: Twilight Town
When: Sometime after the dreams start
Warnings: Copious amount of nightmares, Roxas's Hayner-worthy idea, and potential yelling.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

At least, that's Roxas's rational. Emizel had been worried that if they defeated all the nightmares, he'd be in trouble, so what better way to test if there was a connection than if they could get a lot of nightmares.

The plan was simple. Get treats, and then get the nightmares to follow them to a location, see if Emizel felt more energetic, and then fight off the nightmares before it got out of hand.

Roxas supposed he underestimated how many nightmares they could summon with a few treats, but they could manage, right? It's not like there were any big ones or anything.

They'd be fine.

"I'm not going to punish him," Eraqus replied, fighting the urge to completely roll his eyes. Roxas wasn't his student to discipline. And even with his apprentices, 'punishments' usually amounted to extra chores or homework. Eraqus wasn't raised on corporeal punishment, and he hadn't raised his students that way, either.

"But we do need to talk to him, so that this doesn't happen again."

Poor little demon was still a bit defensive about this. Worst case scenario, Emizel still did not want to loose a friend over this. While he thought he made a displeased noise, a mix between a low whine and a growl.

Until finally he just glanced away without saying anything. Whether or not it means he finally agreed to this remains a mystery.

"If nothing else, we really ought to go find him and make sure he's all right." Celestia glanced over her shoulder at where the Nightmares had been with a frown. "Do you know which way he went?"

[hiptobe_eraqus]

That was correct enough. Eraqus glanced around, as if looking to see if any other Nightmares had been left around that they hadn't gotten, but the square seemed to be empty.

If they were going to go looking for Roxas, they may as well pick up here. Eraqus started retrieving some of the gathered dream pieces, leaving enough there for the others to grab if they wished.

Still, Emizel didn't want to say much. At least not for awhile.

"...I don't really know where he went, but I do think I know where he might be."
