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.

That is a very good question. DOES he know who this is? He leans closer to get a better smell, and is very confused by the answer.

"Loki?"

[bittyfun]

"That's right. Loki, Prince of Asgard." Loki flinches back. Was this boy smelling him?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Prince of what?"

Why is Loki little like him? Is that also part of his shape shifting? Maybe Loki knows.

"Loki is little like Faolan! Not usually. Why now?"

He leans closer, staring up into Loki's face.

[bittyfun]

"I'm not little," says Loki, hotly. "Smaller than the rest of the Aesir does not make me little."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

"Usually when Faolan sees you, you're bigger," Faolan answers with a content smile. He snuggles in shamelessly, having never had a negative reaction from Loki. "Now we are closer!"

[bittyfun]

"I don't know you!" Loki pushes at him, aghast, ordinarily disdainful of physical contact of any kind. (But the severity of his reaction is, rather, that he does know him. That the eyes are familiar, the voice, and it distresses him to remember what he does not remember, not to know what he should know.

And for a moment, Faolan's eyes are huge before his face crumples into tears. "Loki?" he whimpers. "Don't know? But we played chase! You were magpie! We're wolf and taught Faolan to hunt!"

No! No! He doesn't want to be forgotten.
