:: [DREAM] ::

[The world in this dream is large and peaceful. There's nothing to see here but the endless sprawl of green fields and rolling hills. Tall mountains display in the background, the sky is a perfect blue and a light breeze blowing the smell of the sea ripples through the blades of the grass. Should you be observing or entering, either

[chasingmorning]

[The color is so vibrant! For a second Shilo has to shield her eyes. Is this real? It looks like a picture. There's no place that she knows of on Sanitarium Island in the year 2056 that looks anything close to this.]

Wow.

[She's almost afraid to wander far or else it will go away. And it doesn't help that she's a mess of other people's blood from her nightmare. But really, it's difficult not to feel light-hearted here.]

[kirinofen]

[Blood. He knows it immediately. It's a horrible scent and it makes him ill. He comes to a halt, kicking up clods of dirt and grass as he does. He turns and suddenly he's facing Shilo. He doesn't recognize her but here she is, in his dream. But she's covered in blood. He can see and smell it now, causing him to feel sick and weak.

He gives her a leveling stare, wary of her instantly.] You're covered in blood...

[chasingmorning]

[That's one of the prettiest, strangest horses she's ever seen. They're so big in real life. She backs away, intimidated by the glare more so then size.]

I know. I'm okay. I'm...sorry.

[Apologizing seems like the best thing to do. She's intruding it looks like.]

I want it off too.

[kirinofen]

[He's still uncertain. Even the wind bringing over the smell of the sea didn't seem to mask the overwhelming stench. ... Oh wait, the sea...]

You want it off? [He tosses his head back and takes a few steps to the side. In the distance Shilo might notice a large patch of blue.] Then you can use the sea. Salt water works best to clean it off.

[fledglingofkyou]

[Shushou is walking along, wandering right into this beautiful landscape. She blinks and looks around, surprised by the vibrancy of it all. She hasn't seen anything like this in a month - or, well, ever. It brings a tiny, tiny smile to her lips.

And then she sees the kirin, and her eyes and mouth widen.]

[kirinofen]

[He senses her enter before she spots him. Not knowing who it is at first but not minding so long as they don't disrupt the peace, Rokuta leaps, soars momentarily in the air at an impossible speed, and then lands gracefully a few steps from Shushou. Now he recognizes her.]

Oh, hey there. It's you.

[fledglingofkyou]

[Shushou is dumbfounded for a moment. She's never seen a kirin, not in his true form.

When she has regained her senses, she bows formally.]

Taiho.

[kirinofen]

[Rokuta knows he should find some kind of irony here that a ruler is bowing to him. Okay, technically not a ruler yet but where he's from she is. And he does appreciate the ironic humor here just a little but it's also just very weird. He shifts on his hooves and lowers his head some to her.]

Haha... It's okay, you can stand. There's no need for that.

[obliviomancy]

Whoa.

[ He's been to several worlds, but nothing like this, empty of cities and just purely grass and hills. It's been ages since Roxas has seen this much space.

It's enough to make him wonder if he can still fly, here.

... shiftily, he stands on his toes and closes his eyes, and probably looks like a very silly ballerina wannabe in a black coat. ]

[kirinofen]

[He knows someone is here without seeing them. But he recognizes the presences and so he doesn't mind. In fact, he turns back around to find Roxas, spotting him not that far away. Tilting his head very slightly at the boy's behavior, he trots over casually and gives a small laugh.]

What are you doing?

[obliviomancy]

[ At the voice, Roxas's eyes snap open - he'd been pretty sure that no one was around. The question gets an answer automatically, before he registers who - and more importantly, what - he's really speaking to. ]

This place kind of reminded me of a different world.

[ Then his brain catches up to the rest of him, and Roxas frowns at the voice's familiarity. ]

Hey- Enki?

[kirinofen]

[His reactions causes the kirin to laugh and shake his head.] It is a different world. This is the kingdom of En. It's my home.

[He laughs again.] Of course! Oh, but I guess you've never seen me this way before.

[trappedinresin]

[We'll just say this is before her own dream...and it is. Looking around her in shock, Yuuki is amazed by the beauty surrounding her. The sun gently tickles her skin, while a soft, welcoming breeze softly blows back her long brown hair. She can't remember a scene so peaceful as this, ever.

Closing her eyes, arms out wide, she spins in the gentle rays of the sun. It's like heaven, easy to become swept away in the tranquility of the place. She laughs a little as though in childish delight.]

[kirinofen]

[Her laugh catches his attention and causes him to cease running. It's such a nice sound, that laugh. As is the nature with dreams, even if he was just miles away from her, he turns around and is now only a few steps away. He perks up when he spots her.]

Yuuki!

[trappedinresin]

[Blinking she looks down at the familiar voice...and is surprised to see something rather not familiar. A beautiful...horse...? Unicorn...? She isn't sure if there are really words to describe it. But he's completely magnificent, and somehow familiar.

She looks down at him, her brows creasing, before slowly--]

Rokuta...kun...?

[kirinofen]

[He approaches her, though he can smell blood on her when he gets closer. But it isn't strong thanks to the breeze and the scent of the sea it carries with it. He lifts his head high, almost proudly. But he's on the small side so it looks a tad silly.]

The one and only! Oh, that's right. You've never seen me this way before, have you?

[justasystem]

[This- This is beautiful. The Tianzi isn't sure if it's a dream, or a wish of a dream, but- It becomes somewhat clear when she sees Rokuta, a familiar sight, even in that form.

She meant to call out to him- but she only watched in somewhat reverent awe.]

[kirinofen]

[By now he'd recognize Tianzi's presences anywhere. She had become a very comforting sight and so when he spotted her, he felt somehow happier. Turning, he hurried over to her and slowed his pace as he drew closer. Walking up to her, he lowered his nose in greeting.]

You wandered in here, huh?

[justasystem]

Rokuta!

[When she was sure he'd spotted her, that she wouldn't be a nuisance or startle him, she'd waved, dipping in to a quick bow]

I don't know how, but- it's beautiful here!

[kirinofen]

[He's quite happy to see her, though it can't be shown on his face. Her comment makes him beam.]

It's nice, huh? This is my kingdom, En.
