IC: Dream Post

[doesnothappen]

The space you are standing in is cold and grey and very still. There is nothing beneath your feet, nowhere to go. You hang for a long moment, in this place with no place, without direction or a proper sense of time, until the light dims...

...and your feet touch ground. Your eyes are closed. When you open them, you find yourself here.

[and this when I only have one working arm, and can't spellcast because glider, and I could try putting up my barrier shield but they'd still be fucked--]

Jump--!

[last-ditch charge to try to scruff--he doesn't even have time to decide, whichever is closer--and throw him out of the way. he knows he's dead, there's nothing he can do about that, but he'll be damned if he doesn't go down trying to save his friends.]

You reach Mau -- he's flung free, screaming your name and Selenia's -- and then you are crushed between two slabs of onrushing darkness.

[welp. that. isn't my best death ever, but at least it's not my awfulest. I just wish I had time to say that I'm sorry 8(]

Re: The Shining Path

There's pain only for a moment, and then nothingness and darkness...

But you -- your mind, your consciousness -- you're still here.

Re: The Shining Path

[unionoftheheart]

...oh.

Re: The Shining Path

[doesnothappen]

You're alone, floating in the dark, bodiless... but somewhere near you, somehow, there's a shining silver thread.

Re: The Shining Path

[unionoftheheart]

Mau...I don't know if you can even hear me, but...I'm sorry. I did everything I could.

[focusing on that then, seeing if it's possible to follow it]

Re: The Shining Path

[doesnothappen]

There's no answer, no sense of any other presence. Once you focus on it, it seems to pull you along. Slowly, the darkness around you lifts, fading little by little to a murky grey.

Re: The Shining Path

[unionoftheheart]

[figured that, but it was worth trying]

[following then, letting it pull him...okay light, any light is good]

Re: The Shining Path

[doesnothappen]

As the light increases, so does your sense of self. You can perceive your own limbs again. You slow to a stop, the silver thread fading, and then gradually you become aware that you're not hanging in space, you're lying face down, eyes closed...

[unionoftheheart]

[oh hey I even have an icon for this]

[stirring very weakly, if such is possible]

It is! You're lying on sand, battered and so sore that any movement is an enormous effort, but definitely alive, on this beach.
