[dream action!]
{A}
[Bodies, everywhere. Although many are faceless, some are recognizable to those who know them: Estelle, Natalia, Emil, Katara, Yuri, Shing, Raven, Tyr, and more. And despite the glassy dead eyes and waxy white skin that marks them as corpses, they convulse and twitch; faces twisted in pain and mouths open and screaming in a cacophony of tortured wailing and decipherable words-]
Fight it...Monster...Strong...Weak...Help...Innocent...Expendable...
[Some of the words Rita hears are her own and she raises her hands to cover her ears--recoiling in horror as she sees them covered in blood, the same blood coating the floor and walls and the dead bodies of her friends whose lives she took herself.]
{B}
[The blood and dead bodies fade away, replaced by shelves of specimen jars. Various organs are contained in most, but the section directly ahead houses nothing besides severed heads of the same people as before. Strangely, the shelf seems to be moving; it slides into the distance, an empty operating table now appearing.
And in front, Rita herself steps into view--but not the normal Rita. This version is wearing the light armour and cloak of a mage in the knights, though the red material of the Royal Guard cannot even hide the fact that she is drenched in blood. One arm has been replaced by a blastia. Her face shows altogether confidence, coldness, and anticipation as she raises a crimson-stained scalpel.]
You're next.
[And suddenly Rita, the real one, can no longer move. Looking down, she discovers her arms are bound; she's been strapped to the table, and her remorseless counterpart is hovering above her.]
[ooc: Dream B is a direct continuation of A, so feel free for characters to see both and interact with either. They can just walk in as a bystander and interact with either of the two Ritas, or take the place of real!Rita. And even if your character wasn't mentioned, their body or head can be there for them to see.]
