Dream 12 || Don't Kill Me

[gimme_ur_pants]

Warnings: Youtube video and it starts at 4:27. Spoilers for the end of Week 1, Day 2. Basically, an "attempted" murder.

Effects: [Optional] The feeling of helplessness is pretty apparent throughout the dream. It switches in the end where you feel like you're slowly being choked.

Notes: Dated to after Shiki and Rise took Haruhi swimsuit shopping

[Izzy's not usually one for sympathy or concern but...]

Do you need help?

[gimme_ur_pants]

Um, I'm gonna be okay, Isabelle! Sorry you keep seeing me like this...

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah, seriously. Every time I turn around, you're getting into more trouble.

Times like this, I wish you were Nephilim so I could give you a luck rune.

[gimme_ur_pants]

A luck rune?

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah. [she shifts slightly to show the camera a little black Mark fading on the back of her arm like an old tattoo.] Luck rune.

[gimme_ur_pants]

Wooow... [Her eyes widen at the sight.] That's so cool!

[nolessthanseven]

One day I'll tell you what the rest of them mean. [she grins; there really are a lot of them to go through.]

If there's a slow day at work or something.

[gimme_ur_pants]

Sure! Or when we go on break. I usually just eat lunch in my flat.

[nolessthanseven]

That'll work too. We'll figure something out.

Looks like you're not dying, at least. Since you haven't keeled over yet. [thoughtful pause.] So what was up with that dream?

[gimme_ur_pants]

Yup! Still alive. [Funny you should mention dying...]

... Are you ready to hear a really long story?

[nolessthanseven]

I'm sitting down. Go for it.

[gimme_ur_pants]

Well... [Takes a big breath.] I've actually died before Isabelle. You're probably weren't here yet when I kept having nightmares about my accident.

[nolessthanseven]

Huh. Probably not. Doesn't exactly sound fun, though.

[Isabelle the Unfazed. She just nods, making a gesture to let Shiki continue.]

[gimme_ur_pants]

Yeah, I couldn't sleep for days.

[Oh. Well okay then. Here she goes.]

Anyway, I died when I tried to push a little boy out of the way of an incoming car. I thought I was done for but somehow I still had another shot. I just needed to play the Reapers' Game.

[nolessthanseven]

[it's pretty easy for her to liken the situation to what happened to Max, so she's fairly sobered as she listens to the explanation.]

Right.

Basically, you and your partner have to stay alive for 7 days. If you fail then.. you get erased.
