dream ✠ 001

[knightofchanges]

At first there is nothing. Everything is dark; pitch black. This lasts for a few seconds before there is a soft ticking sound like a small watch. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. It grows louder with every passing tick, and more and more clocks join in until there is a multitude of them. It becomes too overwhelming -- a deafening crescendo of time. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. TICK. TOCK. A black shadow. A cloaked figure. A flash of a sword. TICK-- A loud crash before the screen explodes with the image of hundreds of clock pieces -- gears, hands, numbers, glass, metal, plastic, everything. The pieces shower down, glistening in the light. The glass fragments catch the reflections of black shadows that lurk somewhere within the darkness. Some show blank, eyeless faces with only their mouths and noses could be seen, the hair covering everything else. And then they are gone, the last bits and pieces falling into the dark abyss. [filter: private || 100% unhackable] But there is one piece that falls last. The tip of an hour hand. In its reflection is a face with a broken mask. It is blurred, but what can be seen from the uncovered half is the dull, empty red eye of the owner staring out into nothing. It is blank, unfeeling. Until the eye changes into the face of a clock, slowly zooming in until it covers the screen.

Hm...so this is how the dreams work here. [doesn't sound that perturbed considering the dream he just had]

[ There's a long stretch of silence, and at first in the darkness of his own living space, a dark look stretches over Blood's face. Those clocks, that ticking, that sound. Julius. His teeth gnash together and his cane that's a good many yards away is ready to be transformed into a deadly weapon at ready, but the expression fades as the Dreamberry illuminates the room just a bit more. A mask is in place and the polite facade has surfaced. ]

I do hope that you realize that you're without a job here.

[ And it's threatening, this dream, because he's promised Elliot destruction, but what about him damnit ]

[knightofchanges]

[get used to this, Blood. just smiles like usual]

Oh I know, but some things are hard to leave behind.

[donhatter.livejournal.com]

[ His lips draw into a thin line and he gives a nod, though it's not really that telling. ]

I wasn't aware that you enjoyed your profession.

[knightofchanges]

[battle of the fake expressions go go go]

I don't.

[donhatter.livejournal.com]

[ You're not going to win 8| ]

Then surely you'd enjoy this hiatus and not think about it?

[knightofchanges]

[you really think so? :D]

I know I would, but it may take a little longer than I expected.

[donhatter.livejournal.com]

[ Yeah, we know so ]

And why is that?

[knightofchanges]

[we'll see~]

You still have your clock, don't you, Blood?

[donhatter.livejournal.com]

[ . . . ]

...Why do you ask that?

[knightofchanges]

[SMIIIIILE~~]

I might feel better if it wasn't there anymore.

[donhatter.livejournal.com]

[ ... That smile is creepy but he'll smirk indifferently. ]

And why's that?

[knightofchanges]

[and he'll just keep on smiling]

I'm not quite sure, but I have this feeling I'll have completed my job once all of the clocks have been taken care of.

[donhatter.livejournal.com]

[ Just arches a brow. ]

Then I wish you luck, Knight.

[knightofchanges]

I don't think I'll be the one needing it, but thank you, sir Blood Dupre.

[donhatter.livejournal.com]

Of course not...

[ And Click 8| ]

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

[... bad feeling. Bad feeling. Very bad feeling.]

You... getting a little homesick there, Ace?

[knightofchanges]

[run run little kitty :D]

Not at all. I'm not quite sure why that was in my dream, really. [actually he has a hunch but of course he's not going to say anything yet :D]

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

If it's anything like my dream, then I'm sure it's... [wait. after his dream of chasing a mouse, he felt the need to chase things.

... this will not bode well. Have a flimsy attempt to deter the psycho knight from skewering the kitty.]

I'm sure it's just a passing fancy! Just a little whim of yours. Yeah, nothing to think about too hard.

[knightofchanges]

[creepy smiles are creepy :D and he's just totally ignoring everything you said]

Boris, you still have your clock, don't you?

1/2

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

[... damn it all.]

[carnivalcat.livejournal.com]

I'll... have to check and get back to you on that, Ace!

[click!]

[ooc: ffft. putting up an open log with Boris later. Ace is free to chase him down then~]

[knightofchanges]

[and he's just going to smile before clipping the Dreamberry back and walking out 8D]

[ooc: oh you know we'll be there 8D]

[centerofthering]

[That dream did not have a good aura at all, but Ty Lee is never one to pry]

That was a pretty scary dream.

[knightofchanges]

[was it a black aura?]

Hmm, you think so?

[centerofthering]

[Something like that D:]

Well I think it was. You didn't?

[knightofchanges]

[:D]

I'm rather used to it, so I don't really have any kind of emotional attachment. [small pause] Well, perhaps one.

[centerofthering]

Having all those scary dreams isn't good for you though. Are you sure you're okay?

[knightofchanges]

Oh I'll be fine, I'm used to them.

[smilesmile]

Do you own a watch or a clock?

[centerofthering]

...Only if you're sure.

Nope! We don't use those back home.

[knightofchanges]

Positive. I appreciate your concern, miss. [pause] You know, I don't think I ever got your name the first time we spoke.

[smilesmile BE GRATEFUL TY.]

That's somewhat of a relief. I won't have to find you, then.

*... She is somewhere not in the apartment, still hiding from everyone in a special hiding place. Blinks worriedly at the dream. That ... was rather disturbing.*

... Ace?

[knightofchanges]

[that's okay, he's somewhere camping rotflmao.]

Yes, Alice?

[he knows fully well that she saw the dream, but he doesn't seem bothered by it. probably because he had already shown her what happened back home >_>]

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

That dream ... *Well, considering what he had told her before, could this be some kind of killing scene? It is ... possible.*

-It was rather bizarre. Are you okay?

[knightofchanges]

I've had stranger, but I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

[smiles]

Are you worried about me, Alice?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

Well, the clocks are - ... *Pfff, bb you just pushed a blush button.*

Of course I am! It's normal to be worried about someone, Ace.

[knightofchanges]

[hurrhurr he could push some other buttons--/SHOT]

No one's ever really worried about me before. Except perhaps Julius.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*WHERE IS JULIUS WHEN YOU NEED HIM? 8l*

... I really don't get the norms of that world. You sound like you miss him.

[knightofchanges]

[NOT HERE WHICH IS VERY BAD.]

Miss him? [small pause] I suppose I do. He is my friend after all.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

A friend. *NNghhh, JULIUS. D8 But wow, a friend? That's new. But she kind of likes the sound of it.*

... I didn't know you guys made friends.

[knightofchanges]

Oh yes, we're quite close. I wouldn't be helping him otherwise.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

Good to know some things are still intact in that world.

*a reluctant pause* Hey, Elliot called Julius "Mortician" if that involved with your work somehow?

[knightofchanges]

Hmm so you heard about that? Well I know Julius told me not to tell you anything back home, so I'll honor his request even here.

However, I suppose I can say that it is related.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

He told you to not to tell me and they're related... *Now what could this about? She might have to make note of it later.*

But a "Mortician" ... not a very pleasant nickname is it?

[knightofchanges]

There are a lot of unpleasant things about Wonderland you don't know about, Alice. But you'll eventually learn about them.
