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!

No, kid, you're not - being fat wasn't your biggest worry if you can't lie to save any face whatsoever. Maya simply forced a chuckle as she took out a hankerchief and ripped it in half, her voice soft. "Eikichi-kun, let me see your knees. I'll wrap them up for you, at the very least." Too bad she didn't have a big t-shirt for him to wear like he did in the future. "Come on, I won't hurt you."

[yellow_owl]

He looked at her utterly confused, but at least he wasn't fearful of her anymore. Slowly, he sat down again, so she could see his knees better. They were covered in mud, water and blood.

"How come you know my name?" He tilted his head slightly to the side. "Did my pa send you? He kept telling me to stop crying..."

[crescent_mirror]

"No, no he didn't. I'm a reporter!" Maya grinned. "A reporter's job is to know things like this!" Yeah, it comes off a little creepy and begs for STRANGER DANGER, but Maya was trying her best to make young Eikichi all right. Taking out another handkerchief and dabbing it in a nearby water fountain, she began cleaning the kid's knees, gently.

"In fact, I even know that your pa doesn't have all of those degrees in martial arts!"

[yellow_owl]

Eikichi was too hurt to think about STRANGER DANGER right now. It was both sad and pathetic.

At her comment, his mind broke quietly broken and he started at her, mouth wide open. His dad? But he...but he....

"M-my pa would never lie to me! I can tell when people are lying you know..." he looked at her, wincing from both the pain and what she'd said. "...but you don't see to be..."

[crescent_mirror]

"Some people are really good at lying - others lie when they need to, because to them there's something far more important than integrity and honesty. The world is filled with lies, liars, and rumors - that's why as adults, some people become jaded and are unable to trust anybody." Maya listened to her own words. For some reason, they didn't feel completely different from her Shadow's. But her Shadow twisted up everything she said.

"Look, Eikichi-kun." Maya smiled. "The important thing is that you're still a child. One day, you'll become an adult. It gets better after all this! You're going to grow up and become a rock star, have a gorgeous girlfriend who it feels like you've known your entire life, and maybe you'll even save the world! Just hang in there, okay?"

Maya finished cleaning and bandaging what she could of his wounds. "It's not wrong to doubt people. It's not wrong to distrust people. It's just another way of being apathetic, of not truly getting to know them. Know the people you're working with. Know them so well, that there's no reason to trust or distrust them - because you know how they'll react." The wording was a little clunky, but Maya was making it up on the spot. "You're going to help a lot of people someday. I know this because I've seen it - these kids are nothing compared to the leader you'll be eventually."

[yellow_owl]

He listened without saying a word. Why wasn't he questioning this mysterious really pretty lady telling him about his future? Maybe because a small part of him flickered in recognition for a half second and suddenly he didn't feel afraid anymore, or simply because SOMEONE WAS TELLING HIM WHAT A BADASS HEROIC GUY HE'D GROW UP TO BE HOLY SHIT. This was like...someone telling him he'd end up being Son Goku or Lupin...

Idly, he touched the sides of his stomach. Yeap. Still pretty pudgy there. NOt really leader material.

"...t-thank you." He smiled a little back at her, drying his tears for a final time.

There was just one thing to protest and he looked rather feverent about it. "B-but...I don't want a pretty girl who feels like I've known her forever! I want Miyabi! She's the only girl for me!"

Yeah he was...pretty set on that, it seemed.

[crescent_mirror]

Maya couldn't help but laugh. "Everything will work out fine with Miyabi-chan, all right? She likes you so much, that it doesn't matter what those kids do to you - if anything, it makes those bullies look like total ass-wipes, not you." She says the last part with a wink.
