[DREAM]
[When the Dreamberry turns on, there's a vision of a beach and five people in swimsuits playing an uneven game of beach volleyball. On one side, there's a redhaired guy and the familiar face of Cielo, albeit without the Rainbow Arch tattoo on his leg. On the other team, a pinkhaired woman, a blackhaired girl and Serph, who is missing the Watercrown tattoo on his face. The pinkhaired woman narrowly saves the volleyball from hitting the sand while the blackhaired girl lobs the ball high for Serph.
...What is this? Is Serph... being expressive? Is he... grinning like an idiot after smacking the ball directly into Cielo's face? Was that... a fist pump in victory? And why does Serph look so happy when the blackhaired girl throws himself into his arms!?
But who cares about the beach; we're now on a boat.
Tattooless Serph is dressed like a prince and is standing with the blackhaired girl, dressed like a princess, nestled comfortably in his arms. They're on the deck of a cruise ship with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset, staring into each other's eyes. It's so fucking romantic I could vomit.
Serph leans down while the girl closes her eyes, and it looks like they're about to kiss when--!!
BLAM!!
The door of the deck goes flying over the railing and another prince, the redhead from earlier, is standing in the doorway. "Serrrppphhhhhh!" He brandishes a sword, yelling, "I challenge thee to battle! A duel to the death!"
But apparently Gale is unmoved by such a challenge, because he's standing outside the ship with his arms crossed and a disapproving look. "Serph. Do you remember the plan?"
Does Serph remember the plan? Who knows; there's a bipedal horned zebra waving his twig arms around, fire flaring in his hands. The ship promptly explodes to the sound of loud neighing.
...Wow that was incredibly stupid.
Serph's awake now, though, and looks quite alert despite having just woken up. He addresses the network at large.]
Is this the true purpose of these new Dreamberries? [A pause as he thinks.] I don't recall activating the dream function.

HAHAHA oh, what did she just watch even? Yukari blinks as she sees the calamity unfold onscreen. She's barely able to follow coherently when the scene transition to the boat -- maybe she wanted to see them kiss, damnit! -- but then again, this is often how dreams are...
The Serph she sees when he wakes up is very different from the one in the dream, and she's not sure whether to be disappointed or not.
...Was that an explosion?]
I guess they're called Dreamberries for a reason.
video;
Okay he understands the dream part, but...]
Why berries?
[Last time he checked, berries look nothing like these devices!]
video;
Wait, he actually thinks--]
Huh?
[...of course he does.]
Oh, um...I think it's just Blackberry knock-off, actually. [Yes, she'd better explain this, too:] It's a popular type of phone where I'm from, and it looks a lot like this.
video;
Have you had any strange dreams since receiving one of these?
video;
Not yet. It probably doesn't happen every night...
[She hopes.]
video;
Nodding in agreement. Well. Unless Yukari has something else to say, he's giving her his version of "WELL I'M GOING BACK TO BED GOOD NIGHT." Except Serph will be getting no sleep tonight.]
I hope you rest well.
video;
But--!!]
H-Hey, hang on. You aren't gonna tell me who she is?
[Almost hurt. Almost--]
video;
Which one?
[BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO FEMALES IN THAT DREAM.]
video;
[Duh! She grins a little mischievously, but she swears she'll let him go after this. It is kind of late.]
I don't think I've ever seen you look that happy.
[Maybe at the beach. Maaaybe--
But even then...]
video;
Her name is Sera. She is the only one from our world without a demon.
[While he's concerned about the fate of all his remaining comrades who hadn't made it here, he's especially concerned for her. She seemed to have a power over the Junkyard they don't understand, but... she's the one who needs them most.]
She gave us song.
video;
Simple, yet somehow effective. Easy to remember, too. It seems she's not too worried about...well, the happiness thing, so if Serph was trying to divert her attention from it, it worked.
The demon thing doesn't alarm her either, because she figures there must be some normal people where he's from. But--]
Song?
[She repeats the word curiously. Was she...a songwriter?]
video;
We'd never heard a song before she arrived.
[Light shines on the heaven...]
It was soothing, with all the fighting.
[Soothed their demons, soothed them. It's been a long time since he's heard the song now. Sheik's Song of Healing was calming, but it doesn't quell his hunger.]
video;
[Is it even possible for a song to have healing properties? She's not entirely sure; she only thinks of songs that make her sleepy, but that's about the closest it's ever gotten.]
Maybe I'll get to hear it some day, since it seems like such a big deal.
video;
I'm sure she won't mind singing for you.
[NOW can he go back to bed??]
video;
She'll nod first though. Whoever Sera is, she'll definitely keep an eye out for her.]
Right.
...Anyway, I guess you wanna get back to sleep after all that, so--I'll talk to you later?
video;
Good night.
[Sweet dreams.]
video;
[She lingers for a moment, hesitating, before shutting off the feed with a yawn--only just then realizing that she's pretty tired herself. And with thoughts of what Sera's sound may sound like in her mind, she rolls over and shuts her eyes.
Sweet dreams, indeed.]
