DREAM POST

[murimurimuri]

Free-for-all dream post!

Make your own dream threads, hop into others'. Bounce characters off each other, try out effects, see what sticks. Anything you want to keep you can keep, anything that isn't working, it was ~all just a dream~.

ESSENTIALLY:
- The character does not remember their name
- Something else is missing/altered as well. Memories? Feelings? Abilities? It's up to you. o7

[Grunts and turns pointedly away.]

So it shouldn't bother you, right?

[court_chesster]

Right...

[Scratches the tiger behind the ear.]

And yet somehow it's still deeply irritating.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

...anyway. Pick up your pets. We'd better get moving.

[court_chesster]

Why? It's not dangerous anymore.

[But he does start scooping up rabbits.]

[whenitrainsitstorms]

The whole town ran off who knows where. They'll be out out there without any shelter.

[Scooping up the puppy, himself.]

[court_chesster]

Do you have shelter to give them...?

[Puts the rabbits on the tiger's back. This will surely work out for the best.]

[whenitrainsitstorms]

No. But I'll figure something out.

[This serious business face is spoiled somewhat by the puppy gnawing on the sleeve of his coat.]

[court_chesster]

And why do I have to come along, anyway?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

You don't. But in case you didn't notice, we're in a burned out village in the middle of nowhere.

[Starts walking, and calls back over his shoulder.]

And we have no shelter, either.

[court_chesster]

[Hesitates at first but eventually starts to follow, the tiger heeling alongside him.]

You're being stupid. You can't do anything for anyone. Why do you even want to? They wouldn't do it for you.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

It's not about what they'd do for me.

[court_chesster]

Why, then?

[whenitrainsitstorms]

The alternative is to look the other way and pretend it's not happening.

[court_chesster]

You know that and yet you'd still run into a burning building...

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Because the alternative is to look the other way and pretend it's not happening.

Aren't you listening?

[court_chesster]

I'm listening, you're just not making any sense.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Says the one who roasted sausages while the town burned.

[court_chesster]

That's what's called making the best of a bad situation.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Grunts.]

Not what I'd call it.

[court_chesster]

Excuse me for not playing the part of the self-righteous martyr.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Don't you have to die to be a martyr?

[court_chesster]

Don't worry, with as reckless as you are I'm sure you'll get it right eventually.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

Everyone dies eventually.

If I get there a little sooner so that a lot of people can get there a little later, I'll count it a fair trade.

[court_chesster]

[in a tone that very clearly states "you are dumb and I am tired of arguing with you":]

Right. Of course.

[whenitrainsitstorms]

[Just giving you this look.]

[And going to keep walking.]
