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 >_>

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."

[red_pleather]

Emeric reacts oddly when Hiromu touches him, and it's only that Hiromu knows him -- other him -- so well that he picks up on it. He's glad Emeric has his Etienne, and he hopes that other Hiromu will get to be closer to him as well. To both of them.

"Which way?" he asks softly.

[black_buster]

Emeric stares around for a moment, not lost but feeling lost with someone else at his side, someone just a little bit shorter, with dark hair and flashes of red.

"I'm sorry. This way." He reaches automatically to brush his fingers against Hiromu's wrist, the way he would his brother for an extra dose of strength and focus, but of course it doesn't work with Hiormu.

Then he starts off down the corridor, towards the compound, towards their quarters.

Please, he thinks to himself. Please be there.

[red_pleather]

Hiromu keeps still as Emeric touches him. They're both missing someone, and the ghosts are strong between them. They're both reacting as if the person in front of them is the ghost.

It'd get them killed in battle, but here -- he thinks -- it's probably all right.

"I wonder if your version of me sleeps here," he murmurs as he follows. It's an odd thought.

[black_buster]

"Here?" Emeric echoes as they move, glancing back at Hiromu briefly. "In what manner do you mean?"

He turns back and stops. They're there. "We live here." He explains, hesitating, putting off reaching for the door-knob. What if it doesn't work? The automatic DNA-activated lock mechanism, what if it is faulty in this horrible dream where he doesn't know where his brother is?

"It is fairly removed from the main base. We were moved here when we... came of age. Our... tandem nature was somewhat unnerving to some of the less... full-time members of the staff. And Kuroki-san thought we deserved... our own space. Ryuuji-san was offered similar accommodations, but he chose not to partake."

[red_pleather]

"Well..." Hiromu thinks it through as he speaks. "If you are, well, you, and I'm me from my world, I wonder if the rest of your team is here too. If they could 'wake up' in your dream here."

It's stupid. But then again it's stupid to think he could meet another Emeric.

Hiromu blinks at Emeric's explanation. "Those people had a problem with you? That's... wow. I don't like that."
