dream broadcast. yeah.

[prescientblade]

You have lived in the village your whole life. There were never very many people in it, but your family has been here for nearly as long as the town itself. It's not very large at all, either, but it's been relatively safe, at least until the recent whispers of creeping monsters drawing closer each night.

Yoma, they say in hushed tones as you head

[VOICE]

[prescientblade]

What?

[And this is her checking her Forge - there's movement sounds, the tapping of metal. And then silence.]

I... I didn't.

That never happened to me.

[Voice]

[prescientblade]

[She takes a breath, not really wanting to look over the broadcast again or think about what it might mean.]

I wish I could say it's only my imagination.

But I suspect it's part of the monster inside me wanting to come out.

Who's that lady, Resa-chan?

[Nevermind the carnage. That's a normal thing for little girls to see, isn't it?]

[prescientblade]

[OH GOD SO MUCH QUIET. so much.]

...I think it's me, little one.

[inpiecesofcloud]

But you have blonde hair.

[prescientblade]

I didn't always.

[And here is some intense self-debate on whether or not she should explain this.]

Yachiru. Do you remember when Priscilla's hair changed?

[yetsleeping]

Another point of identification, I guess.

[prescientblade]

...Identification?

This isn't something anyone was meant to see.

[yetsleeping]

All of us have monsters that we...

...deal with.

[Way to be careful. She presses her lips together.]

But in any case, we all dream things and have them turn up here, too.

[prescientblade]

That might be true, but it doesn't make me any more eager to share with the rest of them.

What is it about this city that brings out our worst?

[mudhair]

What... What is this?

voice;

[prescientblade]

A dream.

[There's a clear streak of disgust in her voice - or is that fear?]

At least, I can only hope it's a dream.

voice;

[mudhair]

I, er, I hope it is.

I mean, it sounds somewhat terrifying, so-

voice;

[prescientblade]

I... It does.

I've never come close to seeing that part of myself before.
