Perhaps no one is immune.

On the couch by the fire, site of innumerable catnaps, is curled a small not'cat, tossing, turning, and occasionally yowling as he

Kyo wanders over, and pokes Yrael. "You okay?"

[mogget_cat]

Yrael lashes out, still flailing in his sleep, at being poked by what he thinks is another of the vines holding him. He yowls. Rarely, if ever, has he been this close to panic.

[nofightingbears]

Kyo blinks. And punches Yrael. It's the only thing he can think to do to wake him up.

[mogget_cat]

BOOM.

Yrael's catshape erupts with a yowl, up into light as bright as the sun, eight feet tall and blazing white, made of bright flames and chaotic Free Magic. From the torso up, he is mostly humanoid, but emaciatedly thin, with long, bony arms and elongated fingers. The torso sits upon a whirling column of white flame and Free Magic.

The couch is burning.

[nofightingbears]

Kyo screams loudly and backs up, nearly going into the fire behind him.

But then he's rushing over. "Yrael?"

[mogget_cat]

The creature stands there, blazing, letting the couch burn (much to the dismay of a couple of waitrats in the background).

After a long time, he says, "Kyo," and nods his head. He's awake now, and that's the main thing, but he's still dazed, and not thinking quite clearly.

[nofightingbears]

He blinks and stares. "What happened? Are you alright?"

He's so lost, and doesn't know what to do. "You were just dreaming!"

[mogget_cat]

The light is suddenly gone, making the bar seem much darker than before. Yrael stands there in human form, looking uncertain and not a little standoffish.

"I had a nightmare. It's nothing," he says, stiffly. He looks a lot like Kyo when he says Grrrr, nevermind!

[nofightingbears]

Kyo blinks, finally realizing that his eyes were not happy with what he'd just stared at.

"Owww."

He points at the couch. "We should put that out."

[mogget_cat]

"Er. Yes," he says, turning around.

"Ivanhoe," Yrael calls to one of the watching waitrats. "A bucket of water, if you please? And ask the Loompas to clear the remains? Yes, I will pay for a new couch."

[nofightingbears]

"I guess I shouldn't even ask what the hell that was, huh?" Kyo sighs and helps with the couch.

It's so weird to not be the cause of trouble for once.

[mogget_cat]

"Nightmare," he says, distractedly. He may be awake, but it's clear where his mind is, still.

[nofightingbears]

Kyo nods. "Right. And that's why I come into the bar and find you screaming your head off, and then turning into pillars of light."

He might be a little annoyed. It's not really at Yrael, but at the situation. However, Kyo conveys this with his usual finesse.

[mogget_cat]

Kyo is very graceful!

...for a stupid cat.

(Somewhere, the mun smites Yuki.)

"That's exactly the reason," he agrees, idly, as he nimbly dodges the water used to put out the couch. "It was not good."

[nofightingbears]

"Really? I mean, that was it?"

He frowns. "Is something wrong?"

[mogget_cat]

"Some nightmares have been coming true, lately, for patrons of the bar. My friend Teja relived one of the worst times in his life, and woke up covered in blood. My friend Merlin dreamt of his brother torturing him and woke up with real injuries having been inflicted on him."

"Yes, something is wrong," he growls, moving the still-smoking couch towards the lake door. "I thought I could fix it- go after the one responsible myself. He caught me off-guard."
