[Dream Event]

[memoryistime]

*You're going to be missing your warm bed quite quickly, because the first thing you'll notice as this dream begins: It's very cold. Snow is falling gently from the sky, and everything is covered in a thin layer of the frozen white

*WHY IS IT SO COLD!?
Juudai is stood in the park, very obviously feeling the sudden cold as he wonders how the hell he got here in the first place. Looking around he notices how greyed out everyone seems, all except for the man and the woman in the distance.
Juudai wonders why they're standing out as he walks closer to them, hiding his presence behind a nearby tree as he tries to listen to them*

[memoryistime]

*"-- he likes the snow, doesn't he?"

The woman speaks to the man, as they look down into the bundle, slowly walking with him. Small sounds that sound like a laugh come from it, as it moves slightly. The man laughs slightly himself, shaking his head.

"They might like it, but they're going to get sick if we stay out here too long. We should really be heading back..."

"Oh, I'm sure we can stay at least a little bit more. You shouldn't worry so much, dear. It's so calm out right now."

... The man seems a bit familiar to you, Juudai, though something seems off about them from what is ringing bells in your head. The woman however is a complete mystery.*

*Juudai sure does find the man somewhat familiar as he carries on watching. He can't help but smile at the scene before him though, it's such a sweet and peaceful moment.*

[memoryistime]

*It really is. There's a definite feeling of affection between the two, but at the same time, there's a bit of... Sadness about it. It's an odd intangible presence upon it.

"Of course, we're fortunate it's at least nice out, after all of the..."

The man trails off as he seems to stare off slightly into the sky. The woman, frowning slightly, pats him on the arm.

"Are you..." The man seems to jump slightly with a start, causing the bundle in their arms to laugh out we glee at the movement. "Oh, yes, I'm fine. Don't worry--" Their next line seems to be muted, for some odd reason, but the woman smiles all the same.

"If you're not feeling well, maybe we should head back..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I said to not worry."*

*Juudai carries on watching, but he's now watching with a lot more curiosity, wondering just who these people are and why the man seemed kind of familiar... he also was picking up on something strange or sad between the couple, under the happy moment and the man obviously seemed to have something on his mind*

[memoryistime]

*Well your watching is a bit interrupted as the woman catches sight of you watching from the tree. She nudges slightly to the man, pointing you out to him.

The man looks directly at you, his eyes narrowing slightly. But before he can do anything, or say anything, the woman walks up to you, smiling, her face pink from the chill.*

Dear, aren't you cold like that?

[i_like_red]

*Juudai is taken back slightly by the woman's approach, but he eventually smiles back, a little awkwardly and replies to her*

A-ah, yeah, freezing actually!

[memoryistime]

"You really shouldn't be outside like this. Is where you live far? It really is quite cold out."

*The man steps up, still carrying the bundle. If you suspected it before, then it's confirmed: He's carrying an infant with him. He seems to address the woman, but his voice is muted out again to you.*

"---, you shouldn't speak with odd people. What if he's dangerous?"

"Oh, don't be so cold, dear. You're chillier than the weather when you see others."

[i_like_red]

Haa, to be honest, I really don't know where I am or how I got here! I don't recognize this place... and you guys just happened to... stand out, I guess!

*Juudai briefly looks down from the couple to the infant in the man's arms. He waves a little, playfully trying to catch the baby's attention.*

[memoryistime]

*The infant smiles, laughing at Juudai's waving. They have the same tanned skin as the man holding them. The man is less than amused at you giving attention to the child, though, giving a staring look that... is definitely familiar. Like it's striking through your soul.

The woman frowns though at hearing what you said.*

"You don't know how you got here? Oh, that must be terrible. Here, you should wear something to keep yourself a bit more covered until you find your way home."

*Before the man can stop her, she removes the scarf she had around her neck, putting it around yours. She's a very forward woman, isn't she.*

[i_like_red]

*Juudai feels the man staring at him, so he stops interacting with the child and looks up at him. The look on his face certintly is familiar... and uncomfortable, but his attention is soon drawn to the woman when she puts her scarf around his neck*

Ah, er... thank you.

*He gives her a kind smile, grateful for the extra warmth*

I'm sure I'll be able to find my way back home... is Domino City near here?

[memoryistime]

*The woman seems surprised-- the man seems vaguely bewildered.*

"That's more down south, isn't it, dear?"

"Yes, I believe so... This is---"

*His voice blanks again. It keeps seeming like something is missing whenever this happens. Like the details are lacking.*

"---, you'll have to take a train to get there." *He moves his head in some direction to outside of the park*

"The station is a five minute walk in that direction."

[i_like_red]

W-wait... it's "more down south"?? Then how the hell I'd get here...

*Juudai looks at the couple. He had noticed the fact that there seems to be words occasionally missing when the two speak, but he can tell that the couple obviously hadn't noticed, they could probably hear each other perfectly. So strange.*

Ah, thank you for your help! I'm Yuuki Juudai, by the way!

[memoryistime]

*It really is! The woman smiles once more, clasping her gloved hands together*

"Of course, you're welcome. I'm---"

*Her voice mutes out once more, as she gives the man a look beside her. However, he seems to be trying to give more attention to the child in his arms than to Juudai. What a cold guy... She just shakes her head slightly, looking a bit amused, as she gestures to him*

"And this is my husband, Sadame. Please don't be offended by him, he's very shy."

[i_like_red]

Sadame...?

*Juudai looks over to the man and his eyes widen as everything finally clicks into place. This man was Sadame? No wonder he seemed familiar to him...*

[memoryistime]

*He certainly looks different, so there's no question why you couldn't place why he was familiar. His skin and hair match what his other family members have, instead of the pale and silver, but... His eyes are the same. Especially since they're giving that same judging look now at you.*

"What is it, Yuuki?"

"Maybe he's one of your students, dear...?"
