I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming

[twistedspoon]

Who: Everyone
What: DREAMS
When: A whole 24 hours spanning from September 14th-15th
Warnings: Creepy nightmares? Innuendo? I don't know, the usual.



There had been so much buzz about those stupid lollipops for weeks now. Not only out loud, but in her head - thoughts ranging from what's the deal with those things? to gotta have more to pricy as fuck. Eventually, she confused the cravings of others for her own, and it just so happened that her very own roommate had a box right on her side of the room!

Casey wasn't supposed to touch it, but she didn't see why. Money issues, or something. She didn't get the big deal about money either. She wasn't a Meowth, so there was no reason for her to have any. Therefore, the rules about it didn't apply to her.

That was her logic, anyway.

When Ai was asleep, she opened up the box and put her telekinesis to good use. Five of the candies lifted into the air - two green, three yellow - and the wrappers tore off in perfect synchronization. Too bad nobody was watching. The Abra opened her mouth wide and crammed all of them in at once, because she had no concept of savouring anything.

Shortly after, she fell asleep, the sticks still poking out of her mouth. That had to be bad for her teeth.

Soon the dreaming began...

Ah. Sonic could understand those concerns more than he was willing to confess, though he had a number of times just to ease that underlying dread. He had been pulled away from his world, his place in time, prior to the end of a crucial battle and still had no idea what had happened to everyone. Sure, he could hold true to his innate optimism, but it didn't mean he was right.

"Please," he chimed into her gloom. "Any version of Eggman couldn't conquer their way outta a paper bag." Sonic took a step closer and relaxed his palm on Blaze's shoulder. "Hey. It's fine." He smiled.

She didn't face him. Not yet. "But you don't know," she said. "There's no way anyone can know. It's been so long since I've been here... Anything could have happened while I've been gone. My kingdom... My world... They need me, and I've been letting them down!" She punctuated that by punching a nearby wall.

[bluestreaker]

WOAH!

Oh, man, he hoped that wasn't come kind of crazy dream wall with dream feelings or something.

Sonic's ears take a bow back to respect her concerns, but they perk right up when he knows it's time to simply do something about them.

"So all we gotta do is getcha home, right?"

[vela_nova]

"Yes... Even if it was for a little while... Just to make sure," Blaze told him. Her voice wavered; this clearly bothered her a great deal, and after her display of anger she was starting to crack. She pulled out the one Sol Emerald she had. "But I've only been able to find one Sol Emerald. I can't go home without them all..."

Sonic had a whole queue of happy expressions just waiting for Blaze. From grins to smirks to simple ol' smiles, he wasn't going to let her down with a frown. Not now. Not after what she did for him.

"Then we'll just hafta get them all! I already told ya you can count me in, and I mean that from start to finish." He laughed. "Besides, a kingdom under your rule isn't gonna go down so easy."

[vela_nova]

Blaze sighed. She took a few deep breaths to steady herself. She didn't want to show this kind of weakness to anyone, not even Sonic. She'd let out enough of her insecurities. And there he went again, cheering her up, reminding her that her burden was not hers alone.

She squeezed the Emerald, and finally looked back at him. "How can you always be so confident..." She wasn't accusing. In fact, there was a small hint of a smile on her face as she asked.

[bluestreaker]

His answer?

Just another cool grin.

You do what ya gotta do.

He pointed toward the rest of the casino area then.

"I'm guessin' we're not gonna wake up anytime soon, so I doubt we're gonna find any emeralds here... How's about we go knockin' on some doors and see what answers? Could be fun!" This place looked nuts, after all. Could be a nice pick-me-up after their nightmares.

[vela_nova]

"I doubt that even if we FOUND the emeralds in the dream world that we'd be able to take them out with us," she tried to reason. "But you're right... Let's go. We need to find out what's going on and wake up."
