DREAM A LITTLE DREAM WITH ME

[capax_infiniti]

Characters: all the characters involved in the Dream Event
Setting: various dreams, various locations
Format: any
Summary: Xehanort draws a large amount of the tower into worlds constructed from their dreams in an attempt to learn about everyone en masse
Warnings: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING


[Tendrils of magic wound their way around, lines of energy flickered into existence, forming a large shape on the ground around where Xehanort sat with his back straight and legs tucked neatly beneath him. Perfect. It was a bigger scale than the one he'd done but a month before, already he could feel the flickers of connection, the shape getting brighter and more defined.

More participants. More mental drag. There was little to worry about. With Xigbar on guard duty, his sleeping body would be quite safe. No, it was time to dream... and see just who would follow.

Darkness shrouded his hand, keyblade flaring into life, and he gripped the handle in both hands, aiming it at the ground, at the keyhole defined by criss-crossing darkness responding, resonating...

drowsiness laced through him, the blade in his hands sagging downward until the tip touched the ground, his posture slacking, head and shoulders slumping slightly

in slumber, the dreams of others awaited

the Master was asleep.]

OOC NOTE BECAUSE I CAN'T EDIT THE POST IT'S ON ANYMORE AND NOT REDOING ALL OF THAT: Dreamers should post to their REAL WORLD thread explaining where their character is, if they made it to a bed or if they're on the floor somewhere or wherever.

If you have questions for me, put them in your base character thread!

If I missed you somehow, let me know and I'll add you to the appropriate section!

The thrown weapon seemed to surprise her, and she flinched in pain before racing off after him. Ken wiped his hands off on his shorts - he'd scraped his palms breaking his fall - and stood up again.

"Nemesis, stop!" Even through the pain and the fear, his voice was mostly strong. The goddess just laughed in response, sending a Ziodyne at each of the boys.

"You cannot stop me. I am the distributor of fortune. I am the arbiter of justice. Do not presume to think that you can control me!"

[forceless]

Ven was fast, but lightning was faster-- it was enough to trip him up and send him falling over himself to the ground just as the Keyblade returned to his hand.

He propped himself up again, grunting as he listened to the-- thing. "Hey-- you can control that thing, can't you?! It's yours?"

[miseris_socios]

Ken grunted, and struggled to stay standing. "I said stop!" He glanced over at Ven for a moment before looking back at Nemesis.

"She's a part of me, yeah. A part I'm trying to deal with." Her way of justice... the way he'd been doing it... it wasn't the right way in most cases. It was so hard to give up the drive for vengeance, though...

[forceless]

"Then you've got to find some way to control it!"

He swung his legs again and sprung back up to his feet now, pointing his keyblade forward and sending a flurry of fireballs at Nemesis.

"It's the only way to stop it for good! Defeat her or force her to listen to you!"

[miseris_socios]

Ken nodded, and thought for a moment - and when he reached a conclusion, the color drained out of his face. He reversed his spear, and pressed it to his own chest. Nemesis froze, the fireballs hitting their mark easily.

"If I die, you die too!"

"Child, this is madness. Were you not going to kill yourself before?"

Ken just smiles faintly. "Yeah. But this time it's for a better reason than because I'm selfish."

The goddess hung there, looking from Ven to Ken and back again.

"... Foolish children..."

And yet she made no more moves to attack.

[forceless]

He didn't exactly...approve, of, suicidal tactics like that-- it rang a bit too true with his own history-- but it did succeed in stopping Nemesis.

She didn't look like she was going to attack again, so Ven carefully stood up from his fighting position, though he still held the keyblade at the ready.

"...Kill yourself..?"

[miseris_socios]

Not all of us can be Disney Approved, Ven. Nemesis just hung there, and then sighed, before disappearing.

Ken dropped his spear and fell to his knees. "Ugh..."

[forceless]

He might have to call corporate on that one, but for now, he was relieved to see Nemesis go. He let out a sigh, and the keyblade disappeared in a few sparks of light as Ven quickly rushed over to Ken, kneeling down to check on him.

"Hey-- You OK?"

[miseris_socios]

"Yeah... yeah. I'll be okay."

Truthfully he felt like he was going to throw up, but he could hold it. "Sorry you had to see that."

[forceless]

Admittedly he wasn't entirely convinced that Ken was totally OK, but he put on a cautious smile nevertheless-- at least to help put him at ease.

"No, don't worry bout that-- it was my decision. I wanted to help. And I'm glad I could."
