first dream; video. ✖

[desomnia]

[ The first thing that appears when the video clicks on is a huge eye - someone is studying the camera from real up close, apparently. Then the device is held back a little though, revealing a somewhat young looking girl - probably in her early teens. She shakes the device a little, as if she expects something to happen, but when nothing does she just drops it on the ground, even though it's still recording. (She probably doesn't realise.)

The girl looks around somewhat curiously for a few moments, before closing her eyes and reaching up with one hand to pinch her cheek.

... There's somewhat of an expectant pause, but nothing happens, of course.

After opening her eyes for a moment and closing them again, she tries to do the pinching thing again.

This repeats a few times until the girl gives up, just looking a little lost instead as she flops down on the grass almost lifelessly instead until the device times out. ]

Um...y-you wont stab me- r-right?

[ whoops, finally let that slip. damn. he looks flustered after he says it. ]

I-I'm sorry...!

[desomnia]

[ She looks up to the screen now, her expression almost genuinely confused for a moment. After a few moments though, she shakes her head, still calm as if nothing happened. ]

... I don't have any reason to do something like that to you.

[floriography]

O-oh... I'm sorry. I-I'll come then- w-wait right there.

[ he'll quickly make his way over after turning off his feed then. ]

[desomnia]

[ She just puts the communicator back on the grass, sitting there and staring idly at her surroundings. She was told to wait, but really, she doesn't have anywhere to go here anyway, so..

She just plays around a little with her knife, prodding at some bugs in the grass while she waits. ]

[ when Viktor eventually does find her he's relieved, he'll make sure not to sneak up on her too as he comes up to her. ]

Um... [ oh he never got her name. ] M-Miss? I'm here- er... my name is Viktor.

[desomnia]

[ This moment is actually a little strange for her - she hasn't been this close to another person in.. well, a long, long time. Dream people don't count, and since she's pretty much been convinced this is actually real..

... Well, it takes her a few moments to grasp the situation, and even as she speaks up her voice sounds a little off, as if she's not completely there with her head. ]

Madotsuki. ... That's.. my name.

[floriography]

Um...t-that's a nice name. Um...

[ he points from back the way he came ] The houses are um- this way.

[desomnia]

... Thanks.

[ She stares into the direction for a moment, before slowly standing up, the knife disappearing into thin air again. ]

If you'll lead the way.. I'll come.

[floriography]

O-Okay- [ off they go then! he'll keep checking over his shoulder to make sure she's there. he wonders how she does that knife thing... ]

T-That knife- [ dammit ] h-how do you make it disappear like that...?

[desomnia]

[ And she does follow him - obediently, but very quietly, just staring around her at the surroundings in silence. She doesn't feel the need to speak up as long as she isn't spoken to, but then he asks a question. ]

It's an effect.. I can just make it appear and disappear like that. That's all I know. [ A pause. ] ... Normally I could only use it in my dreams though..

[floriography]

S-Strange...u-um- not that that's bad- [ just don't show him your stabs ]

I-It's good to um- protect yourself here...

[desomnia]

[ should she show him the poop hair instead.. ]

Protect.. ... Is this a very dangerous place, then?

[floriography]

[ it'd be like hansel and gretel...........with flies........ ]

I-It might be...p-people say to be careful. I haven't been here long enough though to w-witness anything first-hand...

[desomnia]

[ how very romantic.... ]

... It's fine.. I can protect myself, if I have to. [ Obviously referring to the knife. ] I'm used to it.

[floriography]

[ totes ]

J-Just be careful... [ worry fuss fuss ]
