Monoko was starting to get used to her semi-real, semi-not real existence here. There was some good and bad to it. It had been a while since she was stabbed, after all. There were some very nice people, too. Not very many for most people, but considering her past, two or three was a lot to her. She never had to transform, and could walk wherever she wanted ( ... )

First, Alessa's chest seized, her eyes snapping open, visions of the Otherworld--her world--flashing in her vision, blinding her for a moment.

Then she sat up and turned her head in one movement, searching for the source of the flicker in her mind, the feeling of control flowing into her veins as though someone just shot her full of it. It didn't make sense that that feeling was there. It only came in the town or in F3... or in the presence of one of the monsters.

It had been a bad time to give her a taste of the darkness. Nightmares. Dreams. It lacked the real jolt, the dangerous tang of the creatures she was used to, but there was something similar to that. It reminded her enough of home that her heart hardened, her eyes narrowing, her muscles getting taut with expectation.

"Come out. Now."

Yep. Plan "I'M A TREE", pure failure. nostoplights June 30 2011, 03:15:57 UTC

Well, with a direct order like that, and the pull from her, she literally couldn't refuse. Slowly, she walked out, holding her true feelings of terror in, though there still was a little bit of shaking.

Alessa would quickly notice that, although she looked human, she definitely wasn't quite human. Being literally black and white would do that. Plus, the dark energy around her.

This was not a very happy dream. Not quite a nightmare; she could always be handled, and didn't even pretend to be a threat, but not a happy dream either.

And until you ask her to say something, she's not making a peep.

Silly Monoko, you can't hide from a dreamer. <3 hurtandscared June 30 2011, 03:50:46 UTC

At the confirmation that this wasn't a monster, Alessa softened a little. This little creature was so familiar, but obviously not threatening.

It was actually sort of soothing. She held out a hand, gesturing the strange dream girl closer.

"Who're you?"

Yeah. Also, you're not a tree. Everyone can tell. nostoplights July 1 2011, 02:50:16 UTC

She really didn't want to, but, she slowly came closer. She didn't say anything unsure if she was actually supposed to, but, after a while, she spoke softly. If she wasn't supposed to, she could just put it as breathing. "Just... just a dream..." No way she was going to tell her she gave herself her own name; dreamers didn't want their dreams to do things on their own.

Yeah, seriously. How could you think that was a good idea? hurtandscared July 1 2011, 03:00:24 UTC

"A dream?"

Huh. That would explain how familiar she felt.

Alessa tried to ignore the urge to change the girl. To make her a monster under her own control. She craved the power and simplicity she had at home, even if it was painful. She was only just feeling the complexity of her new life and how powerless she was here.

She patted the grass next to her, gesturing for the girl to sit. She didn't quite know what she wanted to do, what she wanted to happen--this timid girl didn't exactly seem to be a playmate, independent in and of herself, and her newly strengthened compassion was squirming a little at the dark, controlling thoughts in her mind--so she tried to do what Sasha would do.

"What should I call you?"

"Big Boss could do it! :'T " nostoplights July 4 2011, 04:03:29 UTC

Normally, she could be an OK playmate, if completely awkward and having no clue as to how real people acted, or how "real" she could be without getting in trouble.

But with Alessa, she didn't want to risk it. Best to stay as dependent on her as possible, lest she make her angry. Though, it was now she realized through her that this wasn't actually HER dreamer. And yet, she felt, and kind of looked, a lot like her. Not exactly, but enough.

Her name? "What...whatever you want...Do not have a name." Well, not one given to her by anyone, anyway. She's just gonna keep her own name to herself.

You are not Big Boss, Monoko! D< hurtandscared July 4 2011, 04:56:31 UTC

Well, that didn't help Alessa's humanizing this dream girl.

It made it easier to think of her as immaterial, but Alessa pushed the thought back. A name didn't make a person. "I don't really know what to call you. Do you want me to think of a name?"

She could think of a few names. Opal, Fay, Eloise, Constance... old names that bounced in her heads. She didn't know what would fit the dream girl, though.

And yet, OOCly, she totally thinks she's the next Solid Snake. Headcannon, y so weird? nostoplights July 4 2011, 06:29:32 UTC

She was quiet, thinking a little. No killing, no transformation... despite her seeming to be so much like her dreamer, she really didn't act like it. It was strange, to say the least.

She fought with herself, trying to decide if telling her what she had chosen for herself was safe to do, and finally thought of a round-about way of doing so... "Could...could make a suggestion? Um... if, it's OK..."

Ffffft weird headcanon is the best headcanon! hurtandscared July 4 2011, 16:20:04 UTC

Alessa nodded, playing with a lock of hair, flashing a smile. "Yeah. You want your name to be something you like, right?"

It really is. nostoplights July 7 2011, 00:36:12 UTC

"Um...M... Monoko, please?" She tries smiling back a little, but it kind of hurts.

hurtandscared July 8 2011, 04:34:19 UTC

"Monoko sounds nice."

She leans forward, tilting her head, her eyes narrowing curiously.

"What do you mean when you say you're a dream?"

nostoplights July 8 2011, 04:42:00 UTC

"Mono... Monoko." She nods. "Um... I'm, I'm from the dream... not, yours... but, my dreamers..."

hurtandscared July 11 2011, 04:54:59 UTC

"So you're a dream?" Her eyes get more narrow. "You're not a good dream. I can tell."

nostoplights July 14 2011, 16:08:36 UTC

No no no no no nononono! "Uh, uh, um..." She bites her lip oh god she's going to die isn't she? "Not... not a good dream... but, but not a nightmare!" Seriously believe her oh god no stabbing please!

hurtandscared July 15 2011, 05:12:41 UTC

Alessa arched an eyebrow, gesturing for Monoko to come closer, something commanding about the motion. Her blatant submissiveness is triggering something in her. Her latent commanding nature, her urge to control.

"I know you're not a nightmare. I know nightmares. I'm not going to hurt you."
