caughtinanetwork | [dream]/[video] c'mon c'mon everybody join the dreampost bandwagon!

[The dream begins with Chibiterasu standing in a strange field before a tall, long-dead tree. Waves of darkness roll by, steeped in black and deep red tones, and a heavy sense of foreboding bores down around him. Nature itself appears to be wounded... Cursed, you might say.

Suddenly, the world goes sepia tone, and what seems to be his tail(?) paints a thin circle of ink around the branches of the tree. All is still for a moment, and then...

After the restoration, a hodge-podge of short, non-connected events take place, most of which involve Chibi playing with his friends in the fresh air of Shinshu Fields! These five losers show up intermittently, but for anyone that's met Chibi before, the most important thing to notice is that you have shown up too! That's right, every single friend he's made here in Vatheon makes an appearance, either napping or playing a game or eating or, well... anything really.

The dream eventually ends, though as Chibi rolls over and casts a lazy glance at his communicator, it's obvious he doesn't realize it's on yet.]

((OOC: Taggers! If Chibi has threaded with you before, even just once, when you post I'll type up a short little blurb on what happens between your character and him during his dream. If you haven't made friends with him yet, feel free to simply comment on what happens in the dream as a whole, or tag other people and make fun of their part in the dream if your character is the trolling type. :3

Edit: I should probably clarify that this isn't an interactive dream. orz Sorry if there was any confusion! Chibi is just having idealistic dreams about his friends.))

[Chibi wakes up a little more when he spots Walter on the screen, rolling upright as his tail starts wagging.

Did you like it? His dream?]

[No.]

. . . why would you dream about such a thing?

[Well, why not dream about such a thing? Walter is the water-smelling-guy, and the teacher, and that's really all Chibi knows about you!

His head tilts to the side, patented "I'm not sure why you're asking me that" expression on his face.]

[Clearly, he's not going to receive a proper answer anytime soon to that. Given that it's the pup, he can let this pass.

There's something else nagging at him, however.]

That girl . . . who was she?

[He's half-tempted to ask what as supposed to who. Then again, just how much can a pup who can neither speak nor write in the universal language of Vatheon tell him?]

[Oh, that was Nanami! She's a mermaid and servant to the Dragonians, but more importantly, she's one of his partners! But, hmm, how to explain...

Chibi disappears from the screen for a moment, and the view of the Dreamberry shifts so it's facing a blank wall. Slowly, lines drawn in black ink begin to form a rather simplistic picture (the kind that gets you a gold star in kindergarten and your mom hangs it proudly on the fridge): the ground, a house, some bubbles and a fish floating here or there. Then, some people in... robes, it looks like? (they have legs), a couple mermaids, and lastly the waves of water above it all.]

[The presentation is somewhat surprising when Walter recalls something similar in what part of the dream he saw. The drawing is crude, like that of a child's, but simple enough that it can be understood without difficulty (which is fortunate on Walter's end).

What mostly catches his attention is that there's not only her, but quite a few.]

. . . so there are more.

[What do those people have to do with it, though?]

Arf! [That's right! The ink from the wall fades as Chibi shifts his Dreamberry so it's facing him again.

Did that help? Do you have any more questions?]

[If he had to be straight up blunt, it only helped a little. It doesn't really matter, because he's only marginally curious. Still, he can't help how that curiosity lingers.]

And they're meant to be the people of the water in your world?

[Chibi nods, and then the communicator is once more facing the wall. On it appear five different settings: underwater, the land connecting to it, then the clouds, above that a floating landmass, and further up still, a crescent moon. In each of these places he draws a little mass of stick figures.

So, to count, that's people of the water, people of the land, people of the clouds, people of the floating land, and people of the moon! Five types of people.]

[That's far more than he's used to -- far more than he ever could have thought of. Floating land? Moon? Clouds?

Doesn't that just open up room for more prejudice?

He falls silent, though it's clear that he's still around by how the device captures his face.]

[Chibi doesn't notice that things have become awkward, figuring Walter is just waiting to see his face again before asking more of him.

So, suddenly he appears back on the feed!] Roo?

[There's a different kind of curiosity now, and he's tempted to ask. He wants to know what drove the pup into associating him with swimming and the girl of the water. Perhaps it can be chalked up to animal instincts, indicators people wouldn't normally pick up on. Or is it just because they're in an underwater city?]

That's all I needed to know.

[And he goes to turn the replica of the Dreamberry off.]

[Chibi just wuffles into the feed, lifting a paw to wave goodbye.]
