❦ One [Video]

[dreamseer]

[Feathers fluttered wildly within what seemed to be an endless corridor shrouded by darkness. The silence that flooded these halls were deafening, eerily so as the feathers danced about rhythmically in the air. Like a flurry of snow, these white feathers flowed down towards the floors below, landing softly against the tiles. Once every feather fell, a pale hand reached out from this sea of plumage.

It stretched upward in a desperate search to grasp on to something near. Soon another hand joins it, stretching as far as it could before face of a young girl emerges from the feathers. Letting out a gasp for air, the girl’s eyes open and the feathers magically became water. She was drenched from head to toe, her long white hair clinging to her petite form as she emerged from the deep pools.]

W-what is this? [The girl whispered as she glanced around.] Ah? Is this…

[She suddenly shook her head.]

No, this isn’t a dream. It couldn’t be…

[Outstretching her hand before her, an sphere of light formed upon her fingertips. The nameless girl stared at the sphere before tossing it up above her head. Like a firecracker, the sphere illuminated this realm of darkness with brilliant colors. However, as the little shards of light fluttered down from above, an image of an unusual city formed within its’ hues.]

What!? [Shock lingers within her eyes.] This is not Tokyo…? But how? How is that possible?

[A little frown appeared upon her lips now. The girl was none the wiser regarding the audience who could see her now.]


[ooc: Welcome to Hinoto’s dreamscape! Because of her very unusual condition, (she’s deaf, blind, and mute) the only way she’ll be able to communicate with your characters is if they speak to her in her dreamscape world. Your characters are not in her dream, but they can converse with her and she can see them if they post a video recording of themselves.

As for her real world self, the poor girl is crumbled up on a park bench at the town square.]

[Have a kid with a perpetually expressionless face examining this broadcast with a faint note of interest, both from the dreamscape tricks and the fact that Hinoto happens to look a heck of a lot like Tianzi at first glance.]

Since when can you do magic?

[The girl whirled around once she heard a voice.] Who's there?

[Spotting the image of a young boy nearby, Hinoto stared at the boy with a befuddled gaze.]

Ah? This isn't magic per say...

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

[He stares back impassively, silently making note of the subtle difference between this girl and the one he was expecting. The differences are there if one knows where to look, but it's certainly an impressive likeness.]

Then what is it?

[Video;]

[featherydreams.livejournal.com]

[She smiled faintly at the boy, completely unsure what to make of their encounter here in this dream-like world.]

It is likened to magic, but not exactly such. This is my dream, my dreams give me such power.

[prefers-chess.livejournal.com]

Dreams.

[Pause.]

Your dreams are currently broadcasting over a communications system called the Network. People can see this. And, being that most people here are inherently nosy, they will likely attempt to contact you using that system, much the way that I am now.

[featherydreams.livejournal.com]

[It was then her turn to pause.]

My dreams are on display upon the Network?

[She certainly didn't look very well now judging by the confusion that marred her features.]

H-how can that be possible? Only a dream gazer can spy into the dreams of others. What you speak of is impossible, yet it is so.

This is a place that has produced invasions of rabid zombie sheep and at least two hailstorms of cake. Impossible tends to be interpreted pretty loosely around here.

[The priestess was curled up upon a park bench by the time anyone found her. She seemed to be asleep, but she was still aware of her surroundings.]

[she just watches at first- entranced by the feathers, the sphere that illuminates the city's image-]

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

[but oh- this girl must be new, and so-]

Ah-

Excuse me?

[featherydreams.livejournal.com]

[Staring at what seems to be a mirror image of herself, Hinoto actually hesitated to speak at first. The girl couldn't be the foul spirit that dwells inside of her, no. This one here felt different, as if she was a real person instead of a mere spirit.]

Who are you...? You are not of this world, are you?

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

[It's only now that the resemblance hits her- and it leaves her speechless for a second as well. She'd met a lot of people in this place- but none that looked quite like her.]

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

[But- she should still answer! This girl was new... like she had been once.]

I am the Tianzi, of China.

Unfortunately, none of us are truly... "of this world".

video;

[featherydreams.livejournal.com]

[The resemblance was truly uncanny, but this girl was obviously younger than her. Then again, there are not many who can boast about governing the world's affairs as long as Hinoto has. Amongst all these mortals, she is ancient.]

If you hail not from here, then why have you come here?

video;

[justasystem.livejournal.com]

We've all been taken.

None of us... chose to come here. Not truly.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

Tokyo? [Well, there's a familiar place.] Pardon me, but I'm afraid you're not in that city anymore, rather in this city called the City.

[featherydreams.livejournal.com]

The 'City'?

[She took a quick glance at the image behind her before facing the blond again. Hinoto could tell that this young woman was from Japan, but the priestess certainly didn't know her.]

Why am I here? I can tell this no dream, it feels to real to be a dream.

[willofthewinds.livejournal.com]

I also thought I was dreaming when I first got here... [Ponder.] But, I believe this isn't a dream.

[Then she arrives at how you just made magic like kjasdhksah] Oh my, but may I ask how did you do all those things you just did?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

...Boy. What WAS that...??

Hey, are you alright?

[featherydreams.livejournal.com]

[This girl's bright blue hair reminds Hinoto much of the sea, thus the images around her become blue in tint.]

I am well, but why am I here? You, are you a native of the City?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

[Umi only passingly notices the change of color, still dumbstruck as she is by the previous display of what she believes must be powerful magic.]

I-! Aw, boy. NO. That'd be AWFUL... I'm not! I was brought here, just like you've just been.

...This weird place is like a nexus between all sorts of worlds.

[well; at least he know how this works. Takes a few moments.]


...you will exert yourself.
