(accidental) video ✠ 10

[he actually doesn't realize it's on, but guess who got bored and decided to "punish" a certain someone for falling asleep again for a very long time?

the feed displays the sleeping face of belovedoutsider (the older one). except there's something odd with it. very odd. like...

swirls drawn on her eyelids, a tic-tac-toe board on her forehead, random stars and hearts on her cheeks—and is that a drawn on mustache underneath her nose?

really it was the typical prank. though Ace added his own little touch by sticking some carrots in her ears and putting one of those party noisemaker things in her mouth. if she snores, he'll know!]

Hm...maybe I should add something else, but I think this will do for now. Now to take this picture...

[now he realizes that it's on. laughs a bit.] Oh whoops! I guess I accidentally hit the wrong button, haha! [glances at the screen before holding it back to show Alice.] Permanent marker does come off, right? The other types didn't really show as well, and the lady I bought them from said they do. Oh well, guess we'll see whenever she wakes up.

Oh, here's a good question.

[now sitting down on the edge of the bed, holding the Dreamberry so it faces him again, though Alice could still be seen from the side.]

You know that whole dreamwalking thing? Do you think people who are in these "sleep comas" can dreamwalk, too? I mean, they're sleeping after all.

[ Just blankly staring at the scene in front of him, doesn't even look remotely amused. ... He is, remotely, but he doesn't look it. ]

Sure, permanent marker washes off fast. It's pretty much right there in the name. That shit's so obvious it isn't funny.

[video]

[knightofchanges]

Hmm, really? But it says permanent, so wouldn't that mean it wouldn't come off?

[video]

[sickestbeats.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's just to throw you off. They're trying to play mind games with you. Don't even worry about any possible consequences.

In fact. Fuck that. Like there are even gonna be any.

[video]

[knightofchanges]

Haha, guess you're right.

But would it change if you don't try to wash it off after a while?

[video]

[sickestbeats.livejournal.com]

Can't see why it would.

[video]

[knightofchanges]

Well markers are like paint and pens, right? They have some kind of ink to them and if you get it on your clothes, it could leave a stain if you don't wash it off.

Couldn't the same be true for skin? Kind of like tattoos, I guess, only without the pain and needles.

[video]

[sickestbeats.livejournal.com]

Nah, tattoos are shoving that stuff in there by force. Markers sit on the surface, it'll all come off eventually.

Do you normally draw such doodles on the faces of your companions?

[Video]

[knightofchanges]

Not always. I didn't last time.

[Video]

[fromlabyrinth.livejournal.com]

Why did you this time?

[Video]

[knightofchanges]

Hmm...boredom?

[Video]

[fromlabyrinth.livejournal.com]

To other matters. Tell me what you know of the "dreamwalking" phenomenon you spoke of.

[Video]

[knightofchanges]

Hm? Didn't you go to the training thing the other day?

[knight-in-red.livejournal.com]

Um...I don't think Alice would like that very much, Ace.

[But those hearts and stars on her cheeks were pretty cute.]

[knightofchanges]

Haha, probably not. But that's what she gets for falling asleep again.

[knight-in-red.livejournal.com]

Fallen asleep? You mean she's in a sleep coma?

[knightofchanges]

Seems like it.

[knight-in-red.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she wakes up soon.

Though that is a good question. I wonder if she is able to dreamwalk in this state.

[knightofchanges]

I guess one way is to see if I can enter her dream, but I'm not sure.

Have you tried dreamwalking, Hikaru?

[cursebound]

...Just what the hell did you do to her?

[Wow, it's been a while. Hasn't it?]

[knightofchanges]

Just drew on her face.

[yes it has, hasn't it?]

[cursebound]

And the rest of that? [A gesture towards his own ears and mouth.]

[knightofchanges]

Hm...a personal touch?

[cursebound]

She's bound to have some wake up then.

[knightofchanges]

Haha, I know, right? Well that's just her little punishment for falling asleep again.
