[ dream // accidental video : week 28, day 4 ]
[The feed opens to what appears to look like the insides of the household that Gilbert and the others live in; the living room, more precisely. The only difference from the real thing is that it is all covered in countless knitted tableclothes, napkins, curtains, wallpapers and whatever else.]
[And there is a lingering scent of a burned pie in the air. Cue, welcome to Gilbert Nightray's nightmare.]
[Gilbert opens his eyes and looks around. He's sitting on a couch, and... it's strangely silent. Where is everyone else? Slowly starting to panic, he motions to get up before feeling some weight on his shoulder.]
...
[Strainedly, he turns his head. There's purring and nuzzling, and the screen reveals a yellow kitten with one golden and one red eye. It looks like it's smiling.]
[There's a very unmanly scream following.]
AAIIIEEEE!
[Gilbert turns pale and tries to shake the kitten off, however it releases its nails to hold onto his coat. Another kitten, light brown with blue eyes, peers at him from behind the couch with some sort of scolding look and hisses. It's followed immediately by a black fuzzy one. Fourth, all in lighter brown colour, is sitting in the corner busy with licking its paw.]
[With a shaking hand, Gilbert reaches for his hat which is oh so conveniently placed on a table right in front of him.]
[He just yelps silently as the hat falls out of his hand onto the couch. Curious kitten faces peek out of it; there's another yellow one with green eyes and a black one with purple. Innocently, they blink and stare at each other before looking back at Gilbert, almost as if asking what is the matter.]
[In a matter of a second, Gilbert sheds his coat with the first kitten still persistently holding on, and runs towards the wallcloset, shutting the door behind himself and trying to make himself breathe.]
Why... why is everyone a CAT?! This... this has to be a bad dream...
[As he's starting to calm down, he realizes that he still has to take care of them even though they're kittens. Especially Oz. But how? How is he supposed to do that with those creatures of --]
[He feels someone's gaze on him and turns slowly, the closet gaining a very dim red horror movie lighting as he does.]
[What meets him is a single red eye glowing in the dark along with a slasher's smile below it. The creature takes a step forward, and in the dim light it reveals itself to be a kitten with its fur pure white. Gilbert just stares, while the kitten continues grinning, then saying just one, short --]
Meow.
[Gilbert tears the door open and jumps out, screaming, tears floating down his face in utter and complete horror.]
[And --]
~
[And wakes up.]
[He jolts into a sitting position, expression terrified, and breathes unevenly. He's not aware the Hitomi is recording, nor does he really care. Oh dear god. At least... at least it was just a dream.]
[...right?]
