[Emil was woken up by the strange sounds coming from his Dreamberry. He was curious so he grabbed it from the stand next to his bed. Shocked couldn't even begin to describe was he was feeling as he watched this. What was going on?!]

2/2

[foreversorryorz]

[He didn't recognize the first two people but the red head was unmistakably Zelos. And then- He couldn't look, he closed his eyes only to open them again as he heard Lloyd yell out. The image, it was gone... W-Wait was that a dream? No, nightmare was closer. So then, none of that really happened. Still, it made him mad. The way he smiled as he killed his friend-]

... Lloyd, that was just a dream right?

[Suspicious, but can you blame him?]

[redcladidealist]

[The fear that it wasn't hits Lloyd like a lead brick in the gut. It takes him a minute to grasp a rational thought.]

I- Yeah. It... it has to be. I wouldn't-!

[foreversorryorz]

[And that was all it took. He couldn't hold himself back anymore as his eyes once again changed to red]

Hmph, more excuses already?

[Action]

[demonspear]

[Zelos watched the dream with a serious look on his face. His heart pounded hard and his stomach literally dropped the minute that sword went through his chest. Well uh, that did actually happen after all. But there's no way he's going to tell Lloyd that, not for now at least.

He opened the door to Lloyd's room as soon as he heard that shout.]

Hey, hey! [Goes over to hopefully calm him down a bit from the panicking experience.] You okay, bud?

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd is shaking and breathing hard, pale and wide-eyed as he looks up at the door.] Z-Zelos.

[A dream. It was only a dream.]

Y-yeah. I'm fine.

[He's lying.]

[Action]

[demonspear]

Yeah, and Colette's an expert on how to not trip and fall on a daily basis. [Gotta love sarcasm. ♥]

Obviously something's buggin' you.

Re: [Action]

[redcladidealist]

I just... [He swallows dryly.] It was just a bad dream, that's all.

[Doesn't realize that Zelos saw it.]

[notjust_risette]

[No words escaped Rise's mouth as the dream ended. Her mouth was dry and it takes a while for her to collect herself once more. Noireau, who slept at the foot of her bed that night, crawled up by the girl in an attempt to comfort her. Even the Malamute knew that something was amiss.

Finally, Rise gathers herself enough to place a call on Lloyd's Dreamberry, stroking the dog all the while to keep her calm.]

Lloyd? What's... what's going on?

[redcladidealist]

Rise?

[Even though he knows it was a dream, it is so relieving to hear her voice.]

Nothing. It was just a bad dream. [Still, he can't keep from asking...] Are you all right?

[notjust_risette]

Yeah, I'm fine. [A pause.] Sorta.

Seemed like way more than a bad dream to me...

[redcladidealist]

[Damn it, did this thing broadcast his dream to everyone?]

It was just a dream. I won't let it happen. I wouldn't hurt you like that, Rise, I swear.

[lethal_smile]

[Hakkai found the dream particularly disturbing considering his own past. He meant to say something when he pressed the record button, but... the words just wouldn't come.]

[video]

[redcladidealist]

[Wait. That's that guy's face. The one who helped him and Zelos fight the yeti. Lloyd's heart is still beating a little rapidly from his nightmare, but he manages a shaky greeting.]

H-hey.

[video]

[lethal_smile]

Ah... are you all right?

[It's all he can think of to say. He's embarrassed for watching the dream. It's really none of his business, but this is Zelos's friend, so...]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry.

[video]

[redcladidealist]

[Ugh, why did the Dreamberry have to show that to everyone? Lloyd scrubs a hand down his face before replying.]

It's not your fault. You didn't ask to see it.

I'm okay, really. It was just a bad dream. Everyone gets those, right?

[Who dreams about killing their friends?]

[charientisms]

[...Ah, how curious. And to be quite honest, he is bored. There is little to currently do but take care of the day-to-day and watch this peculiar device, and so--]

Ah...Perhaps dwarfed by something else entirely, I see.

[redcladidealist]

[You. Lloyd remembers you.]

I'm not a dwarf. I told you that. And what does that have to do with anything?

[charientisms]

Much like not everything is as it seems, not everything has the same meaning at base, you understand!

Or perhaps you do not. Ah, shame.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd opens his mouth to protest, but no, he doesn't understand.]

What are you talking about?
