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.

Helios looks around again and nods with a smile. "Yes it is nice. It's, um, d-different. Most of my students are always speculative when I tell them about it." A laugh, "I can't really blame them though!"

And here Helios will clear his throat before looking back over at Bakura. "B-But I, ah, I-I should probably leave, shouldn't I?" Entering unannounced into a person's home is totally not like Helios at all. He might even look apologetic when he says that.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura blinked. "Why?" he asked, curious. "Have somewhere to be?"

[folklorist]

Helios looks a bit sheepish. "N-No I just...y-your friend probably won't be all that pleased t-to have a stranger in his house. E-Especially unannounced as I was." Though Helios has an inclining feeling that this is a dream and nothing more than that. He's not sure how to really bring up such a matter to the other though.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura laughed a bit at that. "Aaa, no, no, it's not his house, it's his building! It's apartments!" he assured with a warm smile. "The Mancave is for everyone to use."

[folklorist]

"This entire building is his..." Helios sounds awed at that. He smiles back at Bakura though from the reassurance.

"Ah. I-If you're certain. I-I certainly wouldn't mind looking around. If-if that's alright that is."

[shiromadoushi]

The entire building and the football field behind it! It's amazing what blackmail can get you.

"Of course it's all right, why wouldn't it be?"

[folklorist]

Amazing indeed. Helios smiles awkwardly, shrugging as he does so.

"I apologize. I-I'm just not used to, ah, happening upon people's homes like this is all." Not used to being welcomed so readily either. It's a funny thing because Helios is completely open and hospitable towards people. You would think he would be used to such actions taken but it manages to take him by surprise even now. Still he takes another anpan with a smile.

"Well if you're certain. I-I can't say no. I do love to look around new places after all."

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura nodded. "Being able to have people over... it's a really nice thing." Especially when no one wound up in a coma afterward! "One of the reasons I really love this place, everyone's near by, and those who aren't can come over any time they'd like."

[folklorist]

"It certainly is. Having friends and the like over just to enjoy the evening or anything like that is always nice." A smile as he nods.

"Mm it must be nice having everyone close by like that. Though I don't mind traveling when it comes to visiting friends either."
