[Dream event | Open] [She's standing in - no, on - a massive sea or lake of some sort. The water is vividly blue and opaque beneath her feet, and she's reminded of walking across the water while on Lenalee's back. Is that why she's here? Is that why the dream has shifted? Because she's had this dream enough to know what comes next, even if she's usually on an empty street or in a vast, endless grassy field.
Maybe it's different. Maybe they won't come this time.
Above her head, storm clouds begin to roll in, and the water slowly darkens until it's black and shimmering like oil. As tiny waves lap over her feet, the black water clings to her skin in thick, glistening droplets; she's scared to try and move her feet, convinced that she's now stuck in place.
But she can't be. Not if they come. She has to run, to fight them off.
She wraps her arms around her waist and waits.]
((ooc: you will eventually be attacked by a sea of hands trying to drag you below the water, and there's an ugly surprise waiting below the surface. will you save her or encourage her?))

[This is a pretty average scene - Nakama's just walking through the park area of the prison, heading toward her tree. But if you look up, you'll notice a key difference: there's no dome above you, no water keeping you trapped. The city is above ground, with only massive walls holding everyone in.
She looks to one side and notices that Ushiro is walking beside her, his hand tucked into hers and a slight smile on his face. She returns the smile gently, and is about to pull him into a hug when the ground begins to shake beneath their feet.]
W-What's going on?
I don't know.
[The two of them glance around a bit frantically as the shaking grows worse and worse, until it's difficult to remain standing. It's not constant, though, coming in short bursts with the approximate timing of footsteps. Could it be -]
No... It can't be...
[Ushiro's face is pale, his mouth open in horror, and Nakama desperately wants to avoid seeing what he's seeing. But she has to look. When she sees her worst fears standing directly in front of her, she falls to her knees. What is it doing here?]
((ooc: get ready to meet Zearth! It's coming for you, shooting lasers and knocking over buildings all the way. can you find safety?))
