Nightmares - The Mourning After

[There's something a little too quiet about the room you find yourself in. It's clearly a private hospital room - there's even a clinical scent of antiseptic in the air, and the background noise of machines beeping and chatter coming from the outside - but it's very still and solemn. The curtains at the wall have been closed, and the lights are off. On the bedside table there is a vase of flowers - predominantly lilies, almost overwhelming and choking a single anemone flower at the centre.

The covers on the bed are pulled up over whoever is - was? - occupying it. The body is either taller, and broader, or small and petite. Depending on which version of the nightmare you've entered, things may change but not obviously. The body is the obvious change - it's either a man or a woman in that bed. The man's room never changes - the patient chart lists an exact time, date and name every time. A Friday evening, some six years ago. The cause of death is always the same as well, trauma and blood loss following a vehicular accident.

The woman's chart changes every time. The date could be in the future, tomorrow, a week from now, three years from now. And the cause of death is always different. Sometimes it's a heart attack. Sometimes it's an accident. Sometimes it's organ failure of any and every kind.

Yusuke is in the room too. He's not saying anything, or even moving. He's just staring at the hospital bed with an almost disturbing intensity.]


Nightmare - bill, bills, bills.

[You're in a rather bright and pleasant looking hallway. It's not big, or grand, but it looks clean and well kept. There are a couple of hand painted, lovingly framed pictures on the wall and a potted plant propped up by the front door. Nothing seems especially amiss.

And then a letter drops through the letter box - white and simple, but with big red letters stamped across the front: OVERDUE.

And then another: FINAL WARNING. And another, and another, and another - more and more falling through the letter box, all official looking all stamped with large red warnings. There are so many of them they're starting to pile up and spill off the welcome mat onto the floor.

Yusuke steps around you, barely even seeing you, and grabs a few letters from the top of the pile, leafing through them with a deepening frown on his face. Then he glances up, and finally realises he's not alone.]


Ah. [He glances back at the letters, and then back at you.] I wasn't expecting to see anyone today... if you wouldn't mind coming back later? Something has [and he glances back at the letters, still piling onto the floor] come up.

Fog - Azazel

[Yusuke is used to a lack of sleep. It defines his life when he's going through a burst inspiration - in order to properly make the most of it he needs to grasp it as soon as it emerges, so he can do it justice. All nighters and broken sleep are all normal for him.

But this is intense - more so than usual. He's used to having a deep, restful sleep because he almost just passes out as soon as his head hits the pillow. Not necessarily dreamless, but never as clear and unnerving as the kinds of nightmares that have been plaguing him - eerie and uncertain. He can feel that bone deep tiredness throughout him by now, and while he can solider through it, he feels heavy and sluggish. Slow and stupid. And the fog, wherever it came from, definitely isn't helping things. He's disoriented enough without his vision literally being taken from him by thick waves of fog.]


Troublesome. How am I supposed to navigate my way home through all of this?

[And in the background, there are... sounds. Like liquid hitting solid. Like ink hitting the floor, and the feeling of something disturbing the natural swirl of the fog around them. Something with no feet can't make any obvious noise, after all.

Maybe you're just walking nearby, or maybe you're walking with Yusuke. Either way, if you're nearby you'll have a front seat view for when this lunges out of the fog at him, gaudy and over the top looking. Each painting keeps clustered together, like a impressionist's painting of a face, but they can and do move independently, swiping down in arcs at Yusuke and anyone near him.

It might be an idea to run.]

[A note: Madarame's paintings can quite literally paint your character with black paint, which leads to them being more susceptible to status ailments - translating that to Recolle, your character might find their balance off, or vision going funny, as examples.]


Random - throw something at me

[If there's anything you want to try - nightmare, fog or just mundane shenanigans related, then go for it! If you want to chat, my plotting comment is here, and you can find me on [plurk.com profile] tsundoku, or PM me.]

Nightmare- BILLS.

[Noah's not sure how he ended up in this hallway. It's not a place he recognizes in the slightest, but it's a dream- so he hardly questions it. At least this place looks nicer than what he usually finds in his dreams.

When a letter drops through the mail slot, he'll walk over to look at it. Those warnings? Immediately take him back. He's seen more than his fair share when his dad was getting sick and they were still living together. It gives him an easy knot in his stomach just looking at them- especially as more and more pile up.

Ugh. It's one of these dreams isn't it....

Then someone comes by. A tall guy, that Noah doesn't really recognize- it's hard to place someone when you've only seen them in an avatar online. But from the way he handled the letters and walked around, this was his place, wasn't it? So all those bills were...

Oh jeez]


Uh, okay. [He doesn't even know this person really, but he feels bad. Debt is the worse] Anything I can do to help?

[He makes a face as more letters get shoved in. Ugh, that's so uncomfortable to see. Even if it's not his debt, or even real debt since its a dream, it's terrible to see. ]

Uh...I guess I am?

[Another letter gets shoved through the slot]

...I don't suppose monsters come to eat us at some point huh?

[Cause that'd be better]
redarm: (kids suck)

[Noah falls back to lean against the nearest wall and groans as another comes in]

Fuuuck, this is awful. I'd take monsters over this!

FOG

[personal profile] maskreant 2017-10-08 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Akira has been definitely walking with Yusuke as he hears the squelch nearby. He actually... Doesn't like that sound? So it instantly sends chills down his spine as he looks around. There's something watching them or his paranoia is hitting the roof due to this fog.

When the paintings show themselves, he internally screams because what is going on. Apparently he can handle an abstract angel looking to enslave man, but not a series of paintings wanting to kill them. Instinctively, he grabs Yusuke's wrist and pulls him away from that strike.
]

We have to go.

[ As a distraction, Akira summons Yoshitsune to send a lightning bolt at its way. They can't see if it worked or not (since some of those paintings heal from magic skills) because THEY'RE BOOKING IT. ]

[What Ryuji wanders into, wearing nothing but a pair of bright, neon blue boxers and a pair of white running socks, is the last thing he expected. It's eerily silent and it makes him so uncomfortable that at first, he doesn't notice Yusuke in the room. He's too busy looking around at everything else, his mouth hanging open in surprise as he utters several different variations of 'what the eff' under his breath.

When his gaze makes its way around the room and he finally notices Yusuke, he breaks the ringing silence in true Ryuji Sakamoto fashion.]


WHOA, the heck? Yusuke? What's goin' on here? Why are we in a hospital!?

[ this isn't a nightmare he has a right to be in. dave knows tragedy when he sees it - who doesn't? - but he doesn't know how to leave, so he takes a seat near yusuke, looking over at the bed as well. ]

...Hey. Want some company?

[ dave doesn't have a plan if yusuke says "no", since he has no idea how to leave, but - ]

I was in the neighborhood.

Bills and more bills

[Considering Snake's nightmares are being chased by either monsters or cars, this seems like a welcome respite. Although he can certainly sense a lot of tension in the air. Not to mention paper on the ground.

Snake picks up what feels like a letter. There's no braille on it, so he can't guess as to the contents.
]

Oh, I apologize. I think these are letters? They must belong to you.

[this wasn't what he was expecting to see. While he's familiar with the hospital, it's in that distant way. He's never had to visit the hospital for a member of his family, not even for siblings, as... he was the youngest in his family. He glances around the room, and then at the figure in the center of it.

This... can't be right?

But then, there's Yusuke. He purses his lips, before walking to stand next to him.]


Yusuke.

BALTHIER who dat

[personal profile] freeskies 2017-10-09 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe you'd be correct.

[he glances at the body again, and then back at Yusuke. He's at least enough self awareness to look concerned. This was... quite the dream, honestly. And he was, perhaps, the wrong person for it. But, he was there.

And he hadn't mastered the elements of dream walking yet.]


But, here I am. This is a memory, I presume?

[or a fear.]
parodeity: casentine @ tumblr (ASIDE 🎧 hey lemme just say)

[personal profile] parodeity 2017-10-09 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I know the feeling...do you know what this is?

[ a dream or not, he means. sometimes people know and sometimes they don't, and he can never quite tell. this time, he thinks he's sure of it. ]
freeskies: Singing words of wisdom, let it be. (Mother Mary comfort me.)

i feel personally insulted

[personal profile] freeskies 2017-10-09 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[he could check, it seems he was practically invited to. And what good was he as a reporter, if he wasn't at least a little bit nosey? He glances at the body, and then at the chart at the food of the bed.]

And if it isn't a memory, then what is it?

[personal profile] freeskies 2017-10-09 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[he walks up to the chart, and looks at the name... a woman's.

He doesn't know which this is, but given his last answer, he decides prying would be for later. If he could even get anything at this point.

He sets the chart back down.]


Have you tried leaving?

[personal profile] parodeity 2017-10-09 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...How many times have you had to go through it?

[ yusuke is too familiar with it for it to be just once or twice. ]
