002 :: [dream]

[frogs]

[ There's an endless field of snow and a girl sitting roughly in the center, wearing a sparkly green dress that doesn't seem appropriate for the weather. The snow is stained red and the girl is covered in blood too. The red color seems to be spreading, seeping further into the snow as it slowly overtakes the white.

Jade is crying into her blood soaked hands.

Behind her there's a shadow of what appears to be a canine but it has wings and a twisted form. The jaws are open as if it's going to devour her but it doesn't. It's just there on the ground, cast by something that isn't visible. ]

You killed them. They're all gone. I'm alone again. Why am I always left alone?

[ The voice belongs to Jade but it doesn't appear that it's coming from her sitting in the snow. The scenery is beginning to bleed entirely red but now the edges are fraying into darkness. White becomes red becomes black but Jade sits there and remains unchanged. ]

It wasn't my fault, I...

[ There's a gunshot. One. Two. Three. A few more. Jade jumps and the dream abruptly ends. ]

Comments

[action] ectobro to the rescue.

[Not only did John see and hear that dream, he felt it. The pain of Jade's sadness was an awful amount of weight. Just watching the dream on his Dreamberry with her in the other room was nothing short of horror for him as well.

The dream ends and John is already halfway down the hallway and knocking on Jade's door.]

Jade?

[action] good John best ectobro

[frogs]

[Since her death on Prospit Jade had never had particular pleasant dreams. Sometimes they were worse than others but she had learned to let them roll off her back more or less. It helped when she couldn't remember them when she woke up. But this one had been very vivid and when she started awake her eyes were wet and she was shaking.

She sat up and pulled the covers to her chest, not sure she would be able to go back to sleep.

Jade's ears twitched and perked up toward the door. She blinked tears from her eyes.]

John...? ... You can come in.

[action] he tries! <3

[longwinded]

[John didn't know very much up to this point about Prospit. He never really was in the loop nowadays. He opens the door and walks in, closing it back.]

Jade, you're crying. [John is always made out to be this douchebag who snarks off to everyone. But they'll never see this side of him, the side of him reaching out to move Jade's glasses and wipe tears out of her eyes.]

I saw your dream. Would you rather not talk about it?
