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.

"Well. It's good to see you again. Though that's a new look for you."

Have a familiar armored face, Jun. Six is here, with her bat fluttering overhead, chattering. Friends? He likes friends. Hi new person.

"You're here too, Six?" Jun reaches out to clasp her shoulder. Man, this was turning into a good dream. He laughs and reaches up to adjust his tie. "Yeah, I'm still getting used to it.

Carter the Meow Wow whuffles happily and then trots forward to affectionately butt his head against Six's legs.

Six lowers her head at that. "Two was here for a short time. People come and go all the time in this place. What happened after we were separated?"

She's looking down at the Meow Wow, then going for where she usually stashes treats, throwing one to it.

"Man, I'm sorry I missed her." He sounds it, too, but he's still glad to see the friends he has today. "It was messy. Lost a lot of Spartans with that one." He's respectfully subdued as he relays the events of Reach's fall to her, but thankfully there was good news, too. He went on to describe how the Master Chief and Cortana - the AI Six had given her life to save - winded up being the catalyst for the Covenant's fall.

War doesn't stop there, though, and he briefly talks about recruiting and training the company of Spartans.

"They've got adult volunteers now, but some of them act like bigger babies than we did."

Six is listening carefully, letting it all sink in. "It was worth it then. Worth every bit of it."

Though she can't help a frown under the helmet. "I guess the people didn't care for how we were trained?"

"It was. Noble did good work."

He shakes his head with a rueful chuckle. "Nah, not really. It's the IIs, as well, get people all up in arms and angry mobs. I got some good ones, though."

Noble Six shakes her head. "It was necessary. It needed to be done. As bad as it might seem to the civilians."
