❘ ❙ ❚ ❅ I'm Not Gonna Stand Here and Wait [Accidental Video]

[shadowslide]

[And here's another new face, but unlike the last one, this one appears to be reading the screen, just unaware that the video feed is already running. LOW TECH ISLANDS ARE LOW TECH,K.]

Help... with what?



I better find out what's going on here, first.

[The view suddenly shifts to the ceiling of his room-- apparently our young antihero expects to leave his mirror behind. There's a soft chirp off-screen, though, and a very colorful blur.]


Heh. Of course. I won't leave you behind.

Comments

they're roomates. This is going to be hilarious.

[windyheir]

[Here have a blue idiot]

Woah what's that thing?

O mai. Something he should know, blue?

[shadowslide]

[And have a Riku turning to face him. Y halo thar. He definitely didn't see you when he woke up.]

A Dream Eater. Who are you?

Things are going to get very stupid very fast :B

[windyheir]

[He wonders how safe a dream eater might be, but he thinks that this guy wouldn't be friends with one if they were dangerous.]

I'm John. I guess you're new here, huh? What's your name?

Sob, it's okay, Riku's good with flakes.

[shadowslide]

[Komory Bat coos and chirps at you in a vaguely friendly way, but seems to be quite content perching on Riku's shoulder like a large, colorful fluffy appendage.]

Riku.

This isn't where I thought I'd end up. Do you know anything about that? [Riku gestures towards the mirror still on his bed.]

[windyheir]

Actually, I just got here myself a few days ago, so I don't really know too much. Just that we have to solve problems.

[voice-video thing]

[deusexhormones]

[Huh, so it's really... maybe once a month?]

Oi, you! You might want the mirror later!

[s'all good as long as you're not behind him]

[shadowslide]

[And there is a suspicious pause, then the mirror is picked up and perused.]

...It talks. [The batty creature behind him peers amicably back at you, Haruki.]

[cool cool cool]

[deusexhormones]

Yeah, hey, it's alive. [...] Not really, it's a phone, basically. You know what that is?

[shadowslide]

I don't use them much.

[What with the whole blowing up your home world and getting possessed by a forty-year old fart of Darkity Dark, it kinda put a crimp on your social life. This Komory Bat flaps towards the mirror, though, looking at it upside down for a moment before making a little screechy sound at it. Thankfully, the mirror doesn't break.]

[video]

[fieldtrip]

Let's skip the whole explanation about me being blind, and you tell me who you're talking to.

Maybe I'll tell you what's going on afterward.

[video (but does it matter?)]

[shadowslide]

[Alright, talking phone-mirrors. Can do. You get a snort, Toph; though there's more soft chirping from the bat of unfortunate blinding colors if you weren't... you know, already unseeing.]

No thanks. I can see things for myself.

[video -- it matters about whether he can see her!]

[fieldtrip]

Well I can't, [she says, pushy,] so tell me who's there with you. .... Or... what's there with you? Unless you have a friend that chirps.

[Video (still!)- Alas, Riku's eyeliner is wasted on Toph]

[shadowslide]

Levi's a Dream Eater. You could say he's... like a bat.

Video;

[swwag]

I really don't know what's happening here, but it is pretty cool, none the less, uh, I mean everything is rather. As for more recent events here it has been a little unnerving though, I guess?

Also oh w-wow! That little guy is really cool!

[Video]

[shadowslide]

[Aight, he's getting the hang of this mirror-talking! Huh, nice horns. Riku blinks and carries on.]

'Unnerving' how?

He really is. [Have a teensy smile for that comment.] He's helped me out a lot.

[Video]

[swwag]

[His horns are spectacular.]

Uh, I'm not sure really... Just, I guess people have been acting off, um, like the people who were already here before us?

What's his name? Did he come here with you?

Re: [Video]

[shadowslide]

[Very. And so very... large. xD]

Before 'us'.... You mean the people who belong to this world? What have they been doing?

Levi, and yeah, it looks like it. [Levi chirrups and makes a shrill sound that's almost a purr, wiggling and spreading it's wings out winsomely.]

[Video]

[badassadorkable]

Shmowzow! What the flip is that thing?

[Video]

[shadowslide]

[...Bunnygirl Riku blinks and holds up a wrist for Levi to perch on so the Dream Eater is more visible from the mirror. You mean this, right?]

A Dream Eater. He came with me when we got pulled in.

[Video]

[badassadorkable]

[She's totally not jealous that you got to keep your animal companion. Not at all.]

Why does he eat dreams? Does he eat nightmares, too?

[Video]

[shadowslide]

[His cute, fluffy, adorable, spinny animal companion.]

He only eats Nightmares, where he comes from.

[A quick, tiny smile.] And sometimes candy.

[Remembering, he takes out a tiny bit of confetti candy for Levi, making the Dream Eater croon and spin. He'll just have to hope they don't stay too long in this place. This wasn't the Realm of Sleep after all.]

[Video]

[little_miss_snarker]

'You know, in a creepy sort of way, that bat-thing is kind of cute.'

Is that.... uhhhh.... pet of yours common where you're from?

[Video]

[shadowslide]

Not exactly a pet. Dream Eater spirits are made out of pieces of dreams, so they aren't really from anywhere.

[This Komory Bat's eating up all the attention, though, trilling whenever Riku pushes it's nonexistent nose.]

[Video]

[little_miss_snarker]

[And Kyonko is so weak to cute things even if she doesn't realize it, much less will admit it.]

So, what? They literally get dreamed up where you're from?

[Video]

[shadowslide]

There's a recipe, but you need dream pieces for it.

[Oh you poor girl. He hasn't even broken out the bunnies yet.]
