Two Events for the Price of One Post

EVENT 1 (Dream Event)

*It's a peaceful, beautiful day in the Duel Monster spirit world. In a field of flowers, Ruka is sat playing with a bunch of smaller Duel Spirits, Kuribon included, as Ancient Fairy Dragon watches over them happily. It seemed like nothing could ruin such a happy day

*Step, step, step.

Some footsteps from a guy come closer, as they look down at you, Ruka.

They're... Kinda frowning. Admittedly, I think only someone completely heartless could not be bothered by a young girl crying out like that.*

*Ruka hears the footsteps. She seems scared at first, but eventually manages to look up to see who is approaching. She rubs her eyes to clear the tears from it, trying to get a clearer look*

...who are you...?

*... he at least tries to not look as sad as he was, forcing himself to stop with that. But he does at least look a bit concerned.*

... Sanshi's m' name. ... What 'appened here, kid?

Re: [Dream]

*Ruka looks away*

I---I don't know... everything was okay, but then there was this shadow that came towards us. It destroyed everything... it destroyed the spirits who live here...
*She sobs a little*
... nothing could stop it... I couldn't stop it. Now they're all gone.

... A shadow? Th' spirits who live 'ere...? *Oh geeze, now you're sobbing here. He kneels down a bit so he's more at your height on the ground*

Are y'sure it destroyed... Everythin'?

Re: [Dream]

[voicesofspirits]

There's nothing left. This used to be a valley with fields of flowers. Everything that was alive is gone.
Except me... the only one it left alone was me.

Re: [Dream]

[3_s33s_what]

... Why, though?

Re: [Dream]

[voicesofspirits]

I-- I don't know...

Re: [Dream]

[3_s33s_what]

*... he keeps making a motion like he thinks he should try to comfort you a bit better, but he keeps rethinking it, as well*

... Well, obviously not everythin' was destroyed, if you an' I are 'ere.

*Ruka eventually calms down a little. She stays silent for a few minutes before she wipes her eyes and slowly starts getting to her feet, although she seems a little unstable on her legs at first*

Re: [Dream]

[3_s33s_what]

*Gets up, trying to figure if he should help her or not? This kind of stuff is lost on him.*

Oi, y'good t' walk?

Re: [Dream]

[voicesofspirits]

*Luckily, she does manage to stabilize herself, before she gives a small nod*

Yes. I think so.

*She looks up and over the land before them again.*

It destroyed everything that was living. The spirits, the trees, grass and flowers... but it left us...

*It seems like she's concentrating more on trying to figure things out now*

Re: [Dream]

[3_s33s_what]

It seems kinda like it was all-encompassin'... But are y'sure it's all dead? Some things can be pretty weird when it comes t' unnatural situations like this.

If somethin' is gonna bother with killin' th' land, too, it ain't really gonna pass over folks who walk 'round an' talk.

Re: [Dream]

*Ruka walks over to a nearby (dead) looking tree and puts her hand on it, as if trying to tell if maybe it had some life in it.
After a few seconds, it seem to quiver. Ruka's eyes light up...! That is, until the tree seems to develop a rather ferocious looking face on it, similar to Woodmon but much more scary.
The tree lets out a roar which makes Ruka shriek and jump back*

Re: [Dream]

[3_s33s_what]

*OH JESUS CHRIST WHAT he gets in front of her to shield her if the thing goes after them, staring at whatever the hell it is*

That sure looks alive t' me, y'know!

Re: [Dream]

[voicesofspirits]

It's a bit TOO alive.

*Tree is now trying to swat at them with it's branches*
