Dreaming Wide Awake [Fourth Wall/Open]

[revenancemods]

Who: Everyone! Current characters, fourth wall characters, whoever wants to show up.
What: The portals are closed. Everyone's in Traverse Town, including a whole bunch of new people. This should be interesting.
Where: Traverse Town
When: Throughout the day
Warnings: Depends on the characters. Expect language at least.

You didn't expect to be here. You really didn't. The technicolor buildings are a surprise, as is the little white flying bear telling you you're in the dream world. He gives you a bag full of what looks to be currency, enough shiny things to create a creature of your own (or so he says), and sends you on your way.

Good luck.

She freezes at the sight of him, dropping her helmet as he embraced her, her breath caught up and held. She doesn't return the hug, because she doesn't deserve it. After a moment she finally gets a hold of herself and tries to push him off.

"Stop it." She turns away from him, wearing a deep scowl and shoving her hand through her hair.

He lets go, albeit reluctantly. Part of him wants to hang on, but he knows better than to push his sister's buttons right now.

"Sorry," he says, but doesn't sound all that apologetic. "This whole thing's probably come as a bit of a shock, huh?"

[petitions]

"Yeah, something like that." She scoops down to grab her helmet a tuck it behind her, finally looking up at North. God, it's so good to see him again, but at the same time she's ripped through with guilt and Washington's threat.

"You look good." It's lam sister speak for I missed you.

[brodakota]

There's a bit of confusion, because from North's perspective South probably doesn't even know he's gone, but there's always that weird time thing, so who knows. Still, he gets her meaning, and takes off his own helmet so that he can actually look at her.

"Missed you to." And it's sincere. He can't recall the last time he'd been separated from his sister for so long, and it's been rough without her.

"Has anyone given you the run down on this place?"

[petitions]

She snorts.

"No." Mostly they've been too busy feeling her out and threatening her. "I think I got a gist of the place." She still kind of thinks it's some kind of afterlife. "Got a psychedelic bat-thing." She looks at her Komory. Kind of like an AI, except completely not. "Not sure what I think about it, yet."

Distraction. Talking about anything but their pasts, or why she's here, or what's going to happen next.

"It's called a komory bat. They're kinda like pets, and they help you in combat," North explained. "If nothing else, they're loyal and have personality."

He indicates his, who are looking at South curiously. "The little one's Cactus, a pricklemane, and the big one's Tank. He's a Kab Kanon."

"Whoa, try not to go crazy with the names, brother." She smiles, faintly, but it hurts. Seeing him hurts, knowing what happens.

She clear sher throat and looks at her feet. "So there's shit to fight here too, huh?"

[brodakota]

"I know, I know. Naming things is harder than I thought, although Tank was Theta's suggestion."

The AI hasn't made an appearance though. He'll let North have his time with South.

"But yeah, there is. They're called Nightmares. They're like spirits, but usually darker coloured. And they'll attac you."

[petitions]

She purses her lips at the mention of Theta. She was glad he hadn't made an appearance yet; it was easier to forget he existed that way. She felt that cold twist of jealousy and crossed her arms to close herself off.

But she did like the idea of having something to fight. "Great. At least I won't get bored."
