[open dreamdive] no longer human

[thesettingsun]

WHO: You!
WHERE: Shuji's subconscious.
WHEN: August 18.
WHAT: Dreamdiving!
WARNINGS: Depends on how the dive goes, but a likely one is suicide.

[Maybe you weren't even in line of sight of Shuji. Just about everyone has a reason to be out and about on a Saruday afternoon, and nobody wants their day interrupted by the ground falling out from under them. Maybe you don't even instantly recognize that the library entrance you fall into would be part of Shuji's subconscious and not anybody else's.

This is how things ended up for you today, unfortunately. Might as well take a look around and see if you can't spot the man himself.

Locations are in top-levels added as divers enter them.]

[Who cares about some clothes when it's for a friend?

He is out of breath by the time he finishes the last of the Taint. And once he's sure they're all cleared, he turns to Shuji.]

You okay?

[thesettingsun]

I've been better, but I've been worse.

...Thank you for saving me. Are you okay?

[surely he can't be that OP not to get hurt]

[strawberrypunch]

[He is not that OP, there's definitely some damage. But he smiles through it anyway.]

I'll be alright. Since I got my powers, it... doesn't hurt as much when I fight.

[Or at the very least, he can keep getting back on his feet long after most would be able to.]

Umm... How do we get out of here...?

[thesettingsun]

That's no reason not to take care of yourself. I'll let you go after you promise to treat your wounds.

[Concern!!]

[strawberrypunch]

Oh- can you?

[He doesn't see any medical supplies but also this is not his dreamscape.]

[thesettingsun]

It's my head, I should be able to.

Now promise you'll look after yourself.

[He's not letting you go until he gets that.]

[strawberrypunch]

[Ahaha...]

I will. [When he's not trying to sacrifice himself for others.]

You will, too. Right?

[thesettingsun]

I'll do my best.

[And before Tatsuma can respond, a flash of light takes him back to the real world.

You did it!!]
