IC: Dream Post

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.

He points toward the gap in the reef... which looks a lot closer than it did when you were walking to the beach.

He just nods and keeps pulling his sad burden down the beach.

It will take hours, but eventually the two of you will be able to send all of the bodies into the deep water. You'll recognize some of them -- his friends from Aather, and people you might have seen in his memories, who arrived on the Nation long after the wave...

[helping '-' but when it's done]

... Not all of those people should've been there.

Again, it takes him a long moment to process and respond.

"...what..?"

This is your home, isn't it? Your Nation.

"Yes. You know it is."
performing: (over my shoulder glancing)

Re: The Beach

[personal profile] performing 2012-08-27 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
So why were there so many people from Aather here?

He looks startled.

"Everybody died in the wave."

Not everyone. Not the whole world.

This takes a long time to sink in, too. Finally, haltingly, he nods.

"You're right... this is... wrong."
performing: (over my shoulder glancing)

Re: The Beach

[personal profile] performing 2012-08-27 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Anyway. You're still alive. I'm still alive. Most of these people shouldn't even be here. Something messed up here.

"I think... I think this is a dream."
performing: (over my shoulder glancing)

Re: The Beach

[personal profile] performing 2012-08-27 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Probably, yeah. In that case, it doesn't have to be like this.

Another slow nod.

"I don't know how to change it..."
performing: (fastened on)

It's your dream, isn't it?

Re: The Beach

[personal profile] doesnothappen 2012-08-27 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I... I don't think so. I think I belong to it."
performing: (yes that makes perfect sense)

Re: The Beach

[personal profile] performing 2012-08-27 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
No. If it's a dream, then the dreamer controls it.

So what? You're still Mau. This is still your dream.
