Dreamwalker Meme

 

Surprise! Either the monster of the week has done something to you or just by random chance, you can walk into other people's dreams. Whether it's full walking and interacting or just observing, that's up to you. The question is, what will you do with the knowledge you've gained by walking through someone else's sub-conscious thoughts?

1. Tag in your pups.
2. Either give a start with what your pup is dreaming about or use the RNG at Random Scenario Meme/Nightmares Meme to come up with a dream. It can be as serious, kinky, fluffy or cracktastic as you wish.
3. Tag other pups to walk in their dreams!

And remember, Luna sees all and is secretly judging you >_>

"C'est impossible." Emeric felt cold down to his bones at Hiromu's words. "Where were Kotako, and Takosawa? Why..." He paused, closing his eyes, considering. "How could I be safe, and my brother not so?"

[red_pleather]

"I don't know exactly," Hiromu sighs. "Jin-san was with you, and he managed to protect you both. We don't... we don't know what happened to Etienne."

If he's Enter, then he will be saved. Hiromu vows it.

[black_buster]

"Excusez-moi, Hiromu-kun, but that is impossible. Why on earth would Etienne and I not be together? Who is this... Jin-san?"

He tries to remember back, thirteen years ago, childhood, before the accident. The Christmas party. But all that comes to mind when he thinks of that night is the cold hilltop, the gaping crevasse.

[red_pleather]

He doesn't even know the name. Maybe there wasn't a Jin-san in his reality.

Hiromu takes Emi's hand, squeezes gently, because surely at least they're still close in his reality. Surely he can still help in this way, comfort in this way. "You spent a lot of time together, but not every minute. Jin-san is an engineer. I think you were with him because you looked up to him, you were friends. You are, now, too."

[black_buster]

"That's all wrong." Emeric says flatly. Despite the momentary distraction of how it feels for Hiromu to hold his hand, squeezing gently, almost as if there is an intimacy there that Emeric is not aware of, but certainly not against...

Still, this other Emeric, this supposed half-Emeric without Etienne at his side, he must be closer to Hiromu, and Emeric wonders if it is precisely because he doesn't have his brother. But then, that could very much minimalism what Hiromu has to offer on his own.

The whole thing is terribly confusing. And frightening.

"Jin-san..." He muses softly, then shakes his head. "I don't understand. Perhaps, perhaps there was someone I've forgotten. But never without Etienne."

[red_pleather]

Hiromu sighs. "I can understand now why your dream's like this."

He looks around. "All the missing pieces. You don't... you haven't had Eti in my world for thirteen years. You miss him, but not the same way."

[black_buster]

Emeric blinks at Hiromu's words, he hadn't noticed the disparity of the half-world, but now he does.

"Oh, mon dieu. This is all wrong. Hiromu-kun, we need to do something."

[red_pleather]

"Can you wake up?" Hiromu asks baldly, but there's regret on his face. He doesn't want to leave this Emeric, who has his brother, has that support. It's not that he thinks that this Emeric's life is perfect and without stress, but it must be so good to see them together.

"I'm not sure if I can. And that's the simplest solution."

[black_buster]

"Je ne sais pas." He responds softly, shuddering. "Etienne and I wake up together. We agree... He is not here..."

He stares at the ground. "Without him... What am I without him?"

[red_pleather]

Hiromu pauses, wondering again if maybe him waking up will be enough to shake them both out of the dream, but he's concerned that he might leave Emi here alone.

And Emi very desperately needs to not be alone. That much is obvious.

"What if we try to find your bedroom in the dream?" he asks softly. "Emi... you have me, here. And when you wake up you'll have Eti."

[black_buster]

Emeric considers Hiromu's offered suggestion, and then, figuring that at least some action is action made and not lost, he nods slowly.

"Oui, perhaps... Well, perhaps Etienne is there."

He pauses after a moment and turns to look at Hiromu more carefully. "Do you always call me Emi?"

[red_pleather]

"I don't know what help it will be, but at least it's something," Hiromu says. "Perhaps you'll be able to reach the real Eti, if you can find his sleeping self here."

Emi -- Emeric -- turns. Hiromu gulps, flustered by this question as he would be by few others. "I do, yes. Most of the time, anyway. We, um, know each other quite well."

[black_buster]

"Indeed. It is something to do." Instead of just standing here, he thinks, panicking and fretting and overwhelmed.

Though the idea of Etienne sleeping while Emeric is not seems... laughable, at absolute best.

Hiromu seems to blush and Emeric turns his eyes away, concerned he has overstepped his bounds. But his words...

"Is that... so?" Quite well, he says, and Emeric's right hand compulsively clutches at the hem of his jacket.

[red_pleather]

Hiromu looks away for a moment, then meets Emi's -- Emeric's -- eyes again with a pained grin. He's not pained about his relationship with his Emi, is in fact very proud of it, very happy about it, but it seems too much to discuss with this one.

But he's not going to shy away from it.

"Yes," he says quietly. "I... I take it we're not, in your world."

[black_buster]

"Non." Emeric admits softly, thoughtfully. Hiromu is grinning, but there is a pinched look about his eyes, as though he feels that this revelation is uncomfortable territory for Emeric. Not... particularly so, but the concern is noted and appreciated.

"Non, I would not say that we are. But... Maybe, we could be, one day. We have only been reunited for not very long, you understand."

[red_pleather]

Hiromu nods, liking that this Emeric does not dismiss the idea out of hand. "He'd probably like that," he says.

It's obvious. Of course Hiromu thinks the other him would probably like it. But he says it nonetheless, because he wants the other him and this Emeric to be happy.

Hiromu turns, looking for an entrance into EMC, so they can find Etienne. He's hoping that in this dreamworld things are still logical to some extent.

[black_buster]

Emeric smiles softly at the thought, then reconsiders. "Perhaps not as readily as you imagine, Hiromu-kun. My brother and I... Well, you understand we are not exactly... typical."

He turns to follow Hiromu's gaze, and starts forward towards a familiar poster that, in theory, hides an entrance to the greater EMC compound.

[red_pleather]

Hiromu blinks at that. "How do you mean?" he asks, genuinely curious. "I know you're twins."

He wants to know more, yearns to know more, even though it'll hurt. Wants to know how it works for this Emi and this Eti, how they live their life, the happiness they have together.

Also? It gives him some hope that in the future things can work for HIS Etienne and his Emeric. Somehow.

[black_buster]

"Ah." It's complex to explain to begin with, to reexplain, or at least feel as though he is, to Hiromu, is all the more difficult, especially without his brother at his side. "You... must have weak points, oui? Well, so too do we, but ours... well, we are connected, you see? We cannot function without one another."

[red_pleather]

Hiromu's eyebrows go up, as he begins thinking through the tactical and emotional implications. "Oh, I see. That must make things difficult for you."

He then flashes a shy grin at Emi, and goes back to searching for an entrance. "If you're both interested in your Hiromu, I wish you well. He's almost definitely interested back."

[black_buster]

"Not so!" Emeric returns, shaking his head and moving nearer to the poster hiding an entrance, so long as this dream follows the laws of the natural waking world. He assumes Hiromu will follow, or at least stay near. "We benefit greatly from nearer proximity, and we are so rarely without one another that it does not often become an issue."

Emeric bites his lip at the thought of Hiromu being interested in both of them. Is that something normal people did?

[red_pleather]

Hiromu follows after, keeping a watch around them both. It comes as naturally as breathing. Emi does this, so he does that.

...sounds like Eti does that for Emi, in his world, and Hiromu can't help but smile at that. He's not jealous. How could he be jealous of Emi having his other half? Especially since it doesn't exactly sound like Emi hates the other him.

"I'm glad you have that," he says quietly. "I'll get our Eti back for my Emi, too."

[black_buster]

The doorway behind the poster opens easily enough, perhaps too easily, but Emeric is so intent on retrieving his brother and turning the world back onto it's feet that he can't be concerned about the mechanics of dreams.

He smiles softly at the thought. "I do hope so."

[red_pleather]

Hiromu waits for Emeric to go into the entrance first while he watches, then he closes it behind them. It doesn't seem quite right, it's interesting, he hopes it's just because they're in a dream and not because they're about to get attacked in a dream.

"I'll keep working on it," Hiromu assures him, and he places a hand on Emi's shoulder for a moment as they walk.

[black_buster]

The entrance hallway seems familiar to Emeric, so he keeps moving down it, even as he slows slightly when Hiromu touches his shoulder. He doesn't remember anyone really touching him aside from Etienne.

"I'm glad to hear that."
