Enter the Dreaming - action

[foreseen_future]

[There's a strange descent of peacefulness once night comes. It lays over the residents and takes them into a deep sleep. Soft sleep. Sweet sleep. A phantom walks the city, a smile to her features, while somewhere, her double sleeps deeply in a bed, wrapped in sheets and blankets

[He was falling

[foreseen_future]

I'm Nura!

[she hops over.]

And I'm going to help you.

[oldest7yearold]

[But everyone's safe now, right... he doesn't know how, he's still not convinced it was actually him who did it, but... they're safe... so what...]

Help me?

[foreseen_future]

Yep!

[she pumps a fist into the air.]

I'm going to teach you important things!

[she turns her head around. she points to a bubble where a long-haired young woman floats within.]

Not that department, though. I think you already know that.

[oldest7yearold]

[Luke glances over at the person in the bubble, watching them for a moment. Did that maybe look a little like... He shakes his head briefly, to clear it. Maybe his mind was playing tricks on him or something... He turns back to Nura.]

What do you mean? What things are you talking about?

[Not that he's opposed to learning... this is just all very puzzling.]

[foreseen_future]

[the girl stares at him, deadpan.]

Where do babies come from?

OMG THE MOOD WHIPLASH. XD

[oldest7yearold]

[That stare is making him more than a little flustered.]

H-how should I know?! What does that have to do with anything, anyway?

SHE IS A DANGER

[foreseen_future]

[there is a very silent moment of more deadpan

before the little girl slams her palm against her forehead in an epic facepalm.]

You've got to be sprocking kidding me...

Re: SHE IS A DANGER

[oldest7yearold]

Well I'm not...

It's not something I've ever needed to know.

[More like something nobody ever had the chance (or bothered, in his tutors' case) to teach him.]

[foreseen_future]

You are the first boy to ever say that.

[oldest7yearold]

What do you mean?

[He isn't sure he's comfortable with where this conversation is going...]

Look, just what's going on here?

[foreseen_future]

[the little girl sighs, shaking her head, before folding her arms.]

Everyone gets one important lesson. I guess yours will be this.

[She then snaps her fingers...and everything is swallowed in light.]

[oldest7yearold]

Important lesson? [She'd said she was going to teach him important things, but...] Wh-what do you- Gah!

[His eyes clamp shut against the glare of the sudden blaze of light all around him. He lifts his hand to them to shield them, trying to open them and squint out. What was happening now...?]

[foreseen_future]

[when things clear...

it's a classroom. you're sitting in the front row. at the front, dressed in a pantsuit is the little girl, with big, block glasses. she picks up something at the board behind the desk and starts to write something.]

Good evening class. Today we will discuss a very important topic.

[she writes, the steps back, getting up on the desk so she's at good height.]

...sexual education.

[oldest7yearold]

[Luke isn't paying attention, as soon as he could see again, he was staring around the room, a look of confusion and faint wonder on his face. He'd always had his lessons in his room or some side room of the manor - he'd never been in a classroom before... actually he has no idea where he is - he's never been in a room that looked like this.

At some point, he realizes Nura had been speaking. His head snaps in her direction.]

Huh?

[foreseen_future]

First thing to know is that to make a baby, you need a boy and a girl. Well, at least in the old Earthan traditional sense...
