caughtinanetwork | 17 | dream video: setting moon

[ Kohaku's dream is set in the back yard of a small house. There are a few backyard toys littered around the area, though they're left ignored for the time being. There's a familiar female voice counting down backwards somewhere. She reaches the final number and turns around. If it weren't obvious before, it's obvious now; the woman doing the counting was Kohaku.

She's got a different set of clothes on; a short-sleeved shirt, a long skirt, and a half-apron. Her hair is pulled back into a single ponytail instead of the usual low pigtails she usually wears. She looks as though she had been doing some work around the house prior to this event, and she's a little weary ... but she looks happy, otherwise. ]

Ready or not, Here I come!

[ She calls out, loud enough for anyone else in the area to hear. There's the sound of a small giggle coming from an area to the left, but Kohaku only smiles and pretends not to hear it. ]

Let's see ...

[ She puts on a small act of looking in all the wrong places. ]

Where, oh where could my Dona and Iola be?

[ There's the sound of young girls giggling from areas on both sides of the backyard now. She knew exactly where they were. She was just going to drag this out a little longer, for their sakes. ]

Nope, not here ...

[ She checks in another place. ]

Not here, either ... you girls are so good at this game!

[ She starts heading over toward one of the places where she knew one of the girls were hiding. A tiny little girl, a brunette with amethyst eyes, clamps her hands over her mouth as Kohaku approaches. ]

I wonder what's over heeeere .... Aha!

[ The young girl, Iola, squeaks a little and darts out from her hiding place, laughing as she runs away from Kohaku, who laughs with her and promptly chases her around the backyard. ]

Dona! Dona, help! Mama found me!

[ At the call of her twin sister, Dona pokes her head out from behind a tree on the other side and giggles at the sight, rushing over to be a distraction. It "works": Kohaku intentionally pulls her attention on her other daughter, now, who had her black hair and her father's gray eyes. Kohaku laughs a little more, then finally manages to succeed in grabbing Dona and hugging her tightly. ]

Gotcha!

Eee! Sissy, run awaaay!

Nooo, Dona!

[ Kohaku reaches out and grabs Iola's hand just as she tries to run away again, pulling her other daughter close and hugging them both. ]

Mama wins again ~

Let's play again! Mama, can you be it again?

I don't see why not!

[ She lets go of both of them. ]

Go hide, I'll go count.

[ With that, both girls, no older than six, go to hide again. Kohaku returns to her counting place, covering her eyes and beginning to count down from 10 again ... ]

( ooc: Leaving it open-ended! If you want to have your character interact with Kohaku in her dream (hide and seek, anybody?), please specify that in your subject header. If you're interacting with her via SFC (or action, in some cases), please specify that, too. )

[ There's a long pause here as Shing blinks, looking around in confusion. What...?

Oh, well... this is kind of surprising, really. He finds himself drawn into the dream more, and... if anything, his confusion only grows as he approaches Kohaku... was she older? She had to be, obviously...

She still looked as lovely as ever, though. There was the faintest trace of a smile on his expression as he looks around, watching the little girls hide... was this of dreams to come?

... was he included in those dreams?

...

He hoped so. He really hoped so.

There's a quiet sigh as he leans back against the wall to watch for a bit; he doesn't want to disturb them just yet... ]

[Hey. Kohaku. There's a little brother, creepin' on your dream.

Okay really he's just watching, but he's being awfully quiet about it.]
