Action: but you never tire of dreams

[ofthebeast]

Characters: Any willing dreamers
Open? Yes
Where: In your minds
When: After the party
What: Part two of the dream plot!
Warnings:


The party went on, with the beast's head on display. A proud, twisted thing. Behind false ruby eyes, it waited. And as the music became slower and the wine less plentiful, it waited still.

Those who had gazed upon it at the ball. Those who had seen it once living in the forest. All heroes who dared to look upon its face and dream still that they would be able to live another day...

There are all sorts of ways of living. In waking. In sleep. Perhaps, now, they would find one in between.

(ooc: Feel free to keep tagging into the party post! Once your characters go home and go to sleep of their own accord, that is when the dreaming will begin. Remember, it is up to you to set up what kind of world your character is trapped in and how best to help them. Plotting post is here, make use of it!

The beast's power will wane once the bulk of the dreamers have escaped his curse. If your character was not at the party but you still want to involve them in the dream plot, that is fine! They can either help get people out or have seen the beast wandering in the woods before it was killed and have caught its attention that way.

"Transforming like that must be difficult but you shouldn't waste too much time just standing there. The people who put you in this room could come back at any time."

There was no window to see what was going on. There was only the doggie door clad flap that would have been difficult for him to look through. Eagle had no idea the key card was so close since he only had the sounds of the boy moving across the room to go by.

Fingers fumbling, Faolan dropped the card once before getting it securely in his hands. With a few moments' work, the door opened. Faolan reached for Eagle for reassurance.

The door suddenly slid open and Eagle found Faolan reaching out for him, a reaction soon rewarded with a hug as Eagle stood and lifted the boy up off the floor.

"That is very impressive! And here I thought you would escape alone. You did a very good job."

Eagle had been thinking he would have to find his own way to escape, Faolan finding the card key like that made things so much easier. Now all that would be left to do is walk out of here like they owned the place.

Faolan was good? He smiles at the praise, arms winding around Eagle's shoulders and squeezing his appreciation.

He looked around, tugged at Eagle's sleeve, and pointed in the direction he thought was out.

Aww, he was such a sweet kid. Who would ever want to treat him this badly? This hug is returned with a added pat on the back. He had done a good job and been very brave at the same time after all.

Faolan knew this place better than he did. Eagle headed in the direction the boy had been pointing in.

Faolan continued to point out the direction, clinging close to Eagle as they passed labs and places where there should have been people. After a moderate time, they found themselves by a door that opened onto a sunny evening.
