12th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

Damn it, I think Zelos is in a sleep coma again. He's not the only one, either. Colette's still asleep- [At least that's what he thinks. He's a little out of the loop, completely unaware that he'd been in a sleep coma, too.] -and Dino was in one, and Zack's friend, and other people. It's like they're contagious or something.

Is that what's really going on? Are people just getting sick with something we've never heard about?

[Man, now he really wishes Professor Raine was here. Even if she didn't know how to heal it, he knows she could figure out what it is. Then maybe they could figure out what to do from there.]

Heh... yeah... [And now he suddenly hopes it takes a while for Kratos to find his way back.]

I dunno. [He lifts a finger.] If you knock me into a wall, I might feel a little flat then, too.

Maybe we should just stick outside for now. Just in case.

[redcladidealist]

I'm just saying it's possible. Can you think of a better reason why these sleep comas happen?

[popstar]

Maybe it's just normal in this place. I mean, it is a dream world after all.

[redcladidealist]

You mean we're supposed to be asleep?

[popstar]

That's how most of us got here, right?

[She shrugs a little, tossing her hair over her shoulder.]

But I've been here for two years and I still don't know what's going on sometimes.

[redcladidealist]

Not me.

[He glances at her, then scratches the back of his neck.]

But if we're supposed to be asleep, why are we awake?

[popstar]

That's why I said most. [She frowns a little. She did know someone who came here in another manner after all... Was Lloyd the same way?] What was the last thing you remembered before getting here then?

It's not like you're asleep in your dreams, right?

[redcladidealist]

My friends and I were trying to escape from the Papal Knights and jumped through something called the Otherworldly Gate to get back to my world. Only it didn't take me there. It brought me here instead.

[He opens his mouth - then closes it. Rise has a point.] You mean... all of this might be a dream? [Stunned.] Even you and Zelos and Dino and... everyone? Everything we've done?

[That... He doesn't want that. He doesn't want this to be a dream.]

[popstar]

[A wave of relief washes over her upon hearing that. At least it isn't as bad as Harley's situation.] I guess that sort of thing is possible too.

[She presses her lips together for a moment, slowly thinking about her next reply.]

Yeah... It probably is all a dream. Like I said, I don't really know how everything works but have been people who wake up and return after some time.

Espoir.

[iceblades.livejournal.com]

That sounds awfully bizarre. Perhaps looking into it wouldn't be too terrible of an idea.. If you find it worth your time.

No, she...woke up a few days ago.

No it wasn't. You were asleep for longer than that.

[Zack does think it would be nice for Lloyd to get his teacher back, but the idea of a lecture from both...well, it's not a fun one. So he'll be joining Lloyd in that hope, though he won't be saying that aloud.]

That's a...good point. [Sheepish chuckle. SOLDIER's do have tremendous strength and it would be easy to flatten someone against a wall...]

Yeah, that's probably a great idea. Less chance of anyone getting really hurt that way.

[redcladidealist]

But... you feel so real...

[The thought that all his friends were just something he'd dreamed up... His throat tightens painfully.]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd nods as though that doesn't surprise him.]

That fits. That's where everyone I've talked to has woken up or come out. Espoir. I really think that's where the worlds connect to this one.

[redcladidealist]

That- But... That doesn't make any sense. She can't have woken up a few days ago because I-

[He stops, confused and searching. His heart beats suddenly louder, almost lurching.]

Longer than... days?

[redcladidealist]

[Which is exactly why he's going to keep his Exsphere in until Zack's Mako powers wear off. Hey, it'll just make the fight more fair if his own abilities are boosted up a bit. So long as he avoids using techs...]

So it's a deal, then? You'll call me when you've found a lighter sword?

[Video]

[couldnotfly.livejournal.com]

[So long as he avoids using techs, it'll probably be a fair fight. And if not, well...Zack's long since perfected a dodge roll.]

It's a deal. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. [Grin. He really does appreciate it.]

[redcladidealist]

Time's something I have a lot of here. I'll definitely check it out.

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

No problem. [Actually, he's pretty excited himself. Sparring with his friends is always a lot of fun.] See you later then, Zack!

[chokowaffle.livejournal.com]

That's odd... I never thought about that.

[uncute-one.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a way to get some sleep, at least. I can't say I particularly enjoy the prospect of being forced into a coma sooner or later, but I suppose it can't be helped. Has there been cases of people not waking up from their comas?

[popstar]

[Just seeing the pained look on Lloyd made Rise's heart clench. She didn't think that it would affect him so much. Nevertheless, she's able to put a smile on her face and at least attempts to cheer him up to the best of her ability. There's no way she'll allow anyone to be upset on her watch.]

That's a good thing right? It would be really bad if we just disappeared just because you tapped someone's shoulder or accidentally bumped into them.

[iceblades.livejournal.com]

[He sighed, not wanting to think about the abundance of time he as well had here.] Hopefully you can find some answers. These sleep comas are unacceptable.

Yes, longer than days. Maybe you should check the date, Lloyd.
