Meetings in Dreams

[Raleigh]

As night falls and the bulk of the population settle into sleep a few will find their dreams are not the usual. Instead they will find themselves being drawn into what looks like the court room of some palace where a man whose features can not be seen for a hood he wears sits upon a throne waiting. If they look around themselves they will spot other movers and shakers (pcs) are also present and looking about in some small amount of confusion. It would seem the man in the front has summoned the sleepers here to conduct some business or present a deal. For now though he says nothing as everyone mills about while he waits for more arrivals.

((OOC: Heh, this should be an interesting old style story thread for me to try. Feel free to pop in with your characters if you would. This is for everyone pretty much.))

Felix finds himself in a courtroom apparently? He looks around at the other confused people and then up at the hooded man on the throne.

"Huh. THis is different. Normally, I'm the one on the throne. And there are more girls."

[AmbushCat]

*Ambush Cat, who had fallen asleep inside someone's bottle of hairspray, sits perched on the robed man's head.*

Nary a sight yet to beheld. Many a Z yet to see. Many a dream yet to have... *grins* And many a soul yet to be pounced.

[shinryou]

"Something is different..." Kirino said, waking around the court place.

Kazuya sighs, "No kidding... I see enough of you when we're awake..."

[Ookalf]

*Yvette appears in the courtroom. She looks around, a curious look on her face.* THis is... unusual.

[Windyuki]

*Appears in the courtroom.*

Hmm... How peculiar. A throne and someone other than the officially elected overlord is sitting there. I should probably have him drawn and quartered or something.

*Yawns and tries to go to sleep.*

[AmbushCat]

*Yvette appears in the courtroom. She looks around, a curious look on her face.* THis is... unusual.

*Claire suddenly appears next to her, looking apprehensive.*

Claire: ...Yvette? How did I... how did we get...

*spies their appearance; abruptly springs off the hooded figure's head straight at them* AMBUSH!

[Ookalf]

*Claire suddenly appears next to her, looking apprehensive.*

Claire: ...Yvette? How did I... how did we get...

*spies their appearance; abruptly springs off the hooded figure's head straight at them* AMBUSH!

I'm not sure. The last I remember was... *Yvette ducks as the cat flies toward her.* What was that?

[Raleigh]

The man finally thinks that enough have shown up to speak. "Greetings everyone. Welcome to the dream realm. I've summoned you all to ask for your help. Recently some negative entities had taken over this realm and while their leader has been dealt with it leaves a lasting issue. Are any of you familiar with nightmares? As in the creature and not the phenomena."

[Blaze]

Felix rocks back and forward on his feet.

"Uhh... lil' bit. But what's in it for us?"

[Maiden Miki]

(Hope it isn't too late)

Mike could be seen sleeping in one of the benches. He had his top hat adjust to where it was covering his eyes. He grunted and nods a bit.

[AmbushCat]

I'm not sure. The last I remember was... *Yvette ducks as the cat flies toward her.* What was that?

*Claire, having received a faceful of cat, isn't able to respond. A. C. jumps off of her to the ground, chuckling quietly*

Okay, that's enough fun for now. We've got a meeting to attend.

Claire: *wipes cat hair off her face* I feel disgusted.

They sound familiar. What do they taste like?

A nightmare? No, I don't believe so...

[Windyuki]

About eight or nine entirely unrelated entities called nightmares actually.... My favorite being the female nocturnal horse with no connection to dreams and the giant mechas on rollerblades... though I highly doubt either's what you're talking about.

It's at least two or three dozen if you include items and specific people. Could you be a bit more specific?

[Raleigh]

"Something similar Windy. As for what they taste like I think it is somewhat like Godiva chocolates wrapped in seven week rotted roadkill, primarily opossum. What I am referring to are monstrosities that feed on the horrors and terrors of dreamers in order to strengthen themselves usually by means of causing the more typical event known as a nightmare. At times they go so far as to claim the entirety of the sleeper's mind. There are several ways to deal with them but I can't go hunting after the myriad that has arrived in this realm what with all the repairs I have to make to the dream realms from the infection of their master. They do typically, in the material world, take on the form of black horse like creatures that flit about in the night from dreamer to dreamer. I am asking if any of you who are presently here would like to hunt them down. I can reward you for doing so."

((Mike, nope, not too late at all. This is open for people to join after the fact as well.))
