3rd Combo - [Dream]

[redcladidealist]

Warnings: None
Effects: Feelings of desperation, then safety.

[His feet pounded on the dirt, his heartbeat rapid, deafening. Where was he? He had to find him! Somewhere in the fog ahead he thought he saw a pair of broad shoulders, but they disappeared almost as soon as they had appeared.

Wait! With a soundless cry he reached out, trying to stop the man. It was so important. He couldn't leave! Wait!

His hand found only fog, and then the ground wasn't there at all. He opened his mouth to yell - but two hands caught him. Caught him and swung him around to settle him on a warm, strong back. Gasping, he threw his arms, suddenly so small, around the other's neck. And just like that, the fear was gone.

Lloyd.

Safe. He was safe. And the man hadn't left.

Lloyd, can you tell me the name of that star?

He buried his face in the other's hair, so soft and spiky as it tickled his cheek. Relishing the feeling, he looked up at the stars. That's easy! It's... um... It's... Okay, maybe not so much. But he knew this one. He knew he did. The man had told him last night.

Corus.

Yeah! Corus!

Everything was all right.]


Nngh. [Something is tickling his cheek. The dream fades as consciousness slowly penetrates his brain, but the Dreamberry remains on, recording. He turns his face away from whatever it was touching - giving anyone still watching a very good view of the thick lines and doodles drawn all over his face. There's a feather on his pillow, and more on his shirt, stuck to... is that syrup?]

Huh? [Lloyd's eyes are open now and he's staring groggily at the Dreamberry.] Why's that on...? [He reaches out and picks it up, but he doesn't turn it off before dropping his head back onto his pillow. He might have forgotten to. He's still half asleep.] Ugh. I'm so not ready to wake up...

[brb laughing.]

I think it might be better if you did.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd cracks his eyes open again. Oh yeah. Dreamberry.]

Why? [And why's this guy laughing?]

[knightofchanges]

[points toward him, still very amused.]

Check a mirror and you'll see.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd puts a hand to his mouth to stifle a yawn.] A mirror... Got it. [Some part of his mind notes that his shirt feels funny, but he's still not awake enough to really register it. Give him a minute, he's making his way to the bathroom.]

Do I know you?

[knightofchanges]

I believe this is the first time we've met. [and what a great way to meet a person.]

[redcladidealist]

Oh, good. I was afraid I'd forgotten your name. [He opens the door to the bathroom and steps in.] 'm Lloyd. Now what...? [He trails off.]

[Yeah, he caught sight of his reflection.]

What... what is this...?

[Blinks, eyes wide]

Lloyd?

[Dino is torn between feeling badly for his new friend being punked and being amused, mostly because of the smiley on the forehead. At least Zelos has a sense of humor with his "punishment". Dino had feared it would be much worse]

Re: [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[Oh, it's worse. Lloyd just hasn't discovered it yet. He yawns, rubbing his eyes.]

Dino?

[chiavarone.livejournal.com]

Are you always such a heavy sleeper? [Smiles]

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

Heavy...? [Lloyd frowns, not getting it yet.] No, I don't think so. Why do you ask?

[Grins, leaning forward]

You seem to have been attacked in your sleep - by ink, feathers, and I can't really tell what else.

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

What? [Okay, Dino is starting to get his attention now.] What are you-

[Something is wrong with his shirt. He puts a hand to his chest.

Squish. Lloyd yelps and jerks his hand back, eyes widened comically.]

Wh-what the hell?!

[She stares at her dreamberry for a few seconds, trying not to laugh at the scribbles on his face]

Uu, what an.. [she pauses to think of the right words] interesting dream.

[redcladidealist]

Hnngh? [Lloyd yawns.] What do you mean?

[creator-maria.livejournal.com]

Maria hasn't heard of that star before, Uu! [Beams!] So Maria learnt something new today.

So, for Maria, it was an interesting dream, uu uu

[redcladidealist]

Wait... [Blink.] You... saw that?

[creator-maria.livejournal.com]

[Maria nodded] Uu! yes, Maria watched the dream on her dreamberry.

[She knew fine well that others could see her dreams too]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd's been warned, but this is the first time it's actually happened.] Whoa, really? It really recorded it? [Hey, this is a novel thing. He's excited by this!] Does that mean I can play it back?

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

[...LMAO! He's pointing and laughing at you, Lloyd. He holds his stomach as tears form in his eyes because he's laughing so much. It hurts. Still really sore from the battle. But he can't help it. Can't breathe, omg.]

[redcladidealist]

ZELOS! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!

I'm so innocent what are you talking about B|

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

[Still laughing. This was so priceless.]

Hey, don't look at me. I didn't do it.

You? Innocent? Do you think I'm an idiot?

[redcladidealist]

There isn't anyone else it could have been!

Yes actually :D

[demonspear.livejournal.com]

[Lloyd, you being angry is making it even funnier.]

You don't know that~

[thatpeskyninja.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha....! [Someone finds the hilarity in this.]

[redcladidealist]

It's not funny!

[Yes it is. It's just not funny because it happened to him.]
