nightmares are real | new moon event
[Haseo’s dreamberry accidentially left on, shows a pale teenager in his bed, his chest rising and falling a bit faster than one would in a normal, peaceful sleep. His breathing is slightly labored. He had complained earlier that day that carrying that ‘idiot’ (Tamaki) had made him feel a bit lousy and assumed he had come down with something.
And down with something he had. His breath hitches in his throat as sweat trickles down his cheek, silver hair sticking to his sweaty forehead. His eyes move under the eyelids as he groans. And in that instant, the dream begins..]
He is standing in a white room. Surrounding him are shivering black dots, that seem to pulse with sound as he moves.
“Haseo.” A sad looking girl with silver hair and an appearance identical to Atoli save for the different coloring, tilts her head, her smile sad. “You let me down. “ The boy’s face looks stunned.
“But Shino-I-I got you back! What are you talking abou-“ As he reached for her hand, suddenly her body splintered into pieces, shining with electric static as they fell to the floor. Before he could even blink, he was spinning into blackness.
Left and right, his friends began to fall in the same way. Black dots hovered around them. Silabus, Gaspard, Pi, Saku and Bo, Endrance, Yata-
He couldn’t even breathe. Where was this? How was happening? Who was it coming from? As he looked down at himself, he realized with a sickening clarity that he was staring at the clawed hands of his Avatar, Skeith. It wasn’t bits of data on his hands, but blood.
Somewhere he could hear sirens, the shouts of the paramedic saying, “Got another eight! Yeah, they were playing The World! Go ahead and put them down as comas..get me some oxygen!” Echoing faintly in the distance.
He screamed. In his claws Kuhn smiled faintly, a sad smile as his body began to break into pieces. “Haseo, you said that you’d changed..that you wouldn’t let this happen again. Man, I guess we were wrong about you, huh? “
He could hear the cold, arrogant voice of Skeith echo in his head. “So you think I’m just a way to gain power, do you? Just a tool? I thought we were partners, Haseo.” A protest was on his lips.
“No! No I didn’t mean for any of this to happen! We are partners! I didn’t do any of these things! This didn’t happen! It’s not happening-IT’S NOT! “His wide red eyes stared in horror as the monster that he used to have control over began to ravage his friends. The scythe came down, splitting the white ground. He could see the fading figures of his friends from Somarium. Isabel, Beat, Shiki, Sasuke, Lloyd, Zelos-all the people he had come to care about-and it was his fault.
“I told you this would happen.” As he stood there, watching his Avatar-self wreak havoc on the surrounding area, the self he was from before stood in front of him, a bitter, twisted smirk on his face.
“We don’t need friends. Remember? Because if you don’t have them, you won’t have to bear the pain of losing them---..”
In front of him, he saw real images. Real memories. Shino in his arms, smiling as she faded away. Alkaid doing the same thing, the same damn thing. The black dots of AIDA infecting Atoli-Ovan. Ovan making the sign of Tri-Edge, screaming at him to destroy him and finish it all.
“No…that’s-that’s not how it happened-everyone came back, the Lost Ones..and Shino-and Alkaid and-“
Footsteps came behind him. “But I didn’t come back, did I, Haseo?” A man with blue hair and orange glasses stood behind him, a skeletal black arm twitching where his left shoulder should have been.
“Ovan..-“ He began helplessly, only for that black arm to go right through his chest.
“You were very useful Haseo. But you aren’t strong enough.”
No..that's not what you said..you didn't say that! In the end we --- His thoughts were weak, unsure. He felt the sensation of weightlessness as he began to fall backward, onto the white ground. He could hear the roars of his Avatar in the distance, until at last, all was silent.
As he closed and opened his eyes, Atoli suddenly stood in front of him. Her eyes were sad. “Haseo--..I thought you were going to look at me. I-I thought we could move forward together-“
“We still are-“ He began, but Atoli’s figure suddenly became outlined in black, her eyes shining an eerie green as she shot out at him with the same black claws, her voice a hiss:
“Liar.”

[The loud scream that split his room caused Haseo to rouse, but not from his nightmares. The red eyes that opened were feverish, and foggy, as he shook in his bed. He was panting hard, and he couldn’t seem to catch a breath. Harsh coughs shook his body as he shivered, covered in sweat. ]
No..No…NO!!!
[ OOC: So Haseo is cursed and very sick! He will assume you are either one of his fallen friends, a victim, or something else entirely. Depends on who replies! ]
