[Tonight was promising to be a quiet night in the dressing room. The Tykis may be lounging in the miscellaneous bars and pubs, and the Allens are probably curled up in piles of blankets. Who knows where the Crosses are, but that's nothing new. And Lavis? Well... they're probably head-first in a book, drooling and getting ink on themselves. Yes,

Actually, there was one bit of color in the hallway. The footsteps made by your passing. Flower petals of bright pinks and purples stretching endlessly behind.]

He can not answer her question for Dreams does not know. Instead, he walks forward through the barrier between sand and vegetation. As he crosses the threshold his form changes from shadow to that of the person she is looking for, but he is as gray as Neah was. Road is the only color on the beach.]

Tyki? [But why would he be Tyki, when he was just the Fourteenth? Nevertheless, Road drops the bottle, paper, and pen, and starts darting forward.]

There is another half dozen empty footsteps in the sand before the form of Allen crafted from shadow before becoming his own shades of gray picks up the bottle. It turns into a small, wooden, sailing ship in his hands as he turns to regard the other two.]

[Is Allen only a shape, too? Road turns toward him, hands clenching as she starts making her way through the sand.]

[Family behind, enemy head, and no where to go.]
[A breeze picks up, ruffling her hair and skirt, and she flops down into a heap in the sand. She runs her hand over it, allowing for a small yellow flower to poke through the surface.]

The other form comes behind her in the sand leaving no footprints in his wake even if the rain wasn't washing them away. He stands behind her, but doesn't move to sit down in the sand with her. Instead, she'll feel a small weight on top of her head. It nearly doesn't fit being made for him rather than her, and the brim of it blocks out part of the sun along with Allen from the chest up.
The flower feels soft against her hand and begins to grow larger and large until is resembles a sunflower.]

[She doesn't look up when she feels the hat rest on her head. Instead, she runs her fingers over the flower's face, before plucking a petal free.]
[He loves me. -- whoever or whichever "he" she's thinking of, she's not specific -- He loves me not.]

Waves wash up onto the shore and just reach her toes before receding back again. Allen's pants are drenched up to his knees. The grass is gone from behind. The sun ahead only shows a gaping hole in the sky. As if the Dream itself is starting to come apart at the seams.]

[Where are you? It isn't a question that she asks out loud, but instead, she reaches for his coat and grasps it between her fingers before giving it a harsh yank. Who knows if it's enough to knock him off his feet, but it does result in her burying her nose into his coat and breathing in as deep as she can, as if looking for the smokey, ashy smell of cigarettes.]

But the smell of smoke fills the air. It isn't the smell of cigarettes, but of burning fields. The horizon towards the building and the grass is thick and heavy with smoke despite the rain. Though, instead of orange flames dotting the horizon, it is purple and black not unlike the power of the Earl and some of the other Noahs. Her Dreams. Joyd. And the smoke created by the twins for their attack. The only color besides her flowers and it reflects in Allen Walker's eyes along with the waves.]

Tyki gets dragged in first, and Allen follows behind. Though, as he enters the room, his outfit turns into an old coat with a handkerchief wrapped around his head. Tyki puts his hands behind his back and looks up at the ceiling. He looks at Road with a "What?" kind of expression. As if asking what she is trying to get at.
In her realm, the two seem more real. Probably fueled by her own memories, but she can still tell that they are her creations and not the real thing.]

Tyki's lips turns into a frown and disregards Allen and the skeletons. As far as Road can tell, he can't see them. He walks up to the table and pulls out a chair. The chair situated in front of the silver button. He flicks his wrist and a large purple Tease comes out from it. He walks back over to her to tie it to her hair like one would a flower or ribbon. He motions for her to sit down in the chair. There is more. Here. Let me show you.She'll feel a tug at ( ... )
