eris' party, lethe, morpheus

The lights had gone dark so suddenly, she had expected everything to go out with it... the party, Olympus, memories... him. His arms around her had startled her, and at first the fact that she didn't forget everything was more shocking then the rest. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw lights illuminating the garden once more (though not to the same extent, thankfully, and everyone milling around as if nothing had just fundamentally changed... And really, she supposed it hadn't.

Stepping back a bit, her hand reached for Morpheus', and she walked him over a bit closer towards a hedge, away from the others, looking up at him for a long moment before speaking, her words as soft as her smile.

"You can feel it again, can't you? Your home."

He could feel the pull of his world in his veins but something wasn't right there...

Few, very few...were dreaming. How could that be?

Upon feeling his world and upon being engulfed by his assumed was his grandparent's night and darkness another realization hit him like a ton of bricks. He feared the moment meager lights returned to smile on her angelic face that he'd be looking into oblivious eyes that recognized him no more, but even more startling was her action. Instead of pulling away from him as he had expected she led him near foliage and looked at him as if she'd not forgotten anything. She still had that look of recognition in her eyes, the light of stars glowing amidst the dark irises of heaven.

"Holy shit! You remember!"

"Yea I do."

"How do you remember me?"

She couldn't help be amused at his reaction... were she anyone else, the questions would be ludicrous. Unfortunately in her case they really were valid questions, and her first answer was to reach a hand up to brush his cheek lightly.

"Not sure. I kind of expected everything to just... be gone. I guess not."

Her expression was thoughtful, as she tried to determine why it wasn't gone... 10 minutes ago, she could remember everything. Ever. Now... certain things were gone, but it seemed like everything important was still there. It made her wonder how long it'd last.

"I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Of course, remembering is good..."

	"It has to be good right?" He looked uncertain. "Something is..." "amiss with Illusia. The dreams aren't taking flight." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_lethe509 2008-07-13 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"I hope it's good. I'm just not sure why it's different this time..." She watched him softly as fingers traced his jaw, eyes calm even as butterflies invaded her stomach. He was going to go. "Oh. Not taking flight? that doesn't seem right at all..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneironaut 2008-07-13 01:01 am UTC (link)
	He didn't understand why Lethe didn't forget this time, but he was hoping it wasn't connected to whatever was going on with the Dreams. Color swirled around in his everchanging irises, "No it isn't right. I can't feel the..." "Dreamers." "I feel some of them but not the magnitude there should be." "That can't be right."

"It sure doesn't sound right."

She could feel it... he had responsibilities, and needed to go find out what was messed up. It was the right thing to do... probably the only thing to do. But she couldn't bring herself to actually give voice to it, to offer the idea any celerity. If that wasn't right, and her remembering didn't seem right...

"Maybe not everything is fixed? But I can feel my river. I am my river again..."

She held her hand out towards the ground to prove it to herself, fingers turning to liquid that rained lightly on the ground for a moment before she twisted her wrist, her hand flesh once more.

"Maybe people aren't sleeping?"

Morpheus knew the kingdom he so missed and was connected to awaited him. With the kingdom came all the responsibilities and right now finding out what was wrong with it was at the top of the list of priorities. However, he didn't want to think about one theory why there was missing Dreamers. Because of the Lord of Light spell, the world had been knocked out of balance. Had all this resulted in wiping out the majority of the pollution of humanity?

His forehead furrowed, his lip worried, "A few, a very few...are."

He hoped nothing had happened to his Dad.

"Hey. I thought I was the worrier."

She reached up, fingers in his hair as her thumb gently rubbed the furrow out of his brow. The worry in his expression concerned her more than his actual news... he was usually the one telling her there was nothing to worry about. Or he had been, once upon a time.

"I'm sure there's an explanation for it. Whatever it is can be worked out."

	oneironaut 2008-07-13 02:45 am UTC (link)
	He placed his hands on her forearms gently, "The explanation might not lay in the dreaming world. If people aren't sleeping..." Again that dreadful thought occurred to him. "...They have lost their way." There was only one thing to do... "I need to get to the mortal place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_lethe509 2008-07-13 03:03 am UTC (link)
	"You? on the mortal plane?" She just blinked at him, completely shocked. She couldn't recall him ever actually wanting to go there before. Concerns about him having to say goodbye floated away as she nodded lightly. "I'll go with you." Because she sure wasn't sending him alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneironaut 2008-07-15 12:50 am UTC (link)
	It was true, Morpheus disliked trying to function in the mortal place. He had gone there on the rare occasion with other family members, but other than movie theaters, plays, and art exhibits...the mortal world wasn't his preferred place to be. He smiled, "Good. I was about to ask if youse wanted to come." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_lethe509 2008-07-15 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I don't want you lost." She also wasn't ready for goodbye yet. It was inevitable, but there was nothing wrong with procrastinating a bit. "Greece, then? Anywhere particular?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneironaut 2008-07-15 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"Hey it's easy to get lost down there. It's a world full of rules and something called physics. It's a restrictive world." He took her hand in his, "Makes no difference." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_lethe509 2008-07-15 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know. If there's one thing my mother's taught me, it's that rules only apply if you want them to." She laughed, leaning in a bit as she squeezed his hand, and moved them both to the center of Athens. It was late evening, but it was a city, which usually meant life. Usually. She frowned as she looked around,finding the whole place quiet. "Hmm." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneironaut 2008-07-16 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Well your momma is the rule breaker, rules seldom apply to them," he smirked. He looked around, "This place looks like a ghost town." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"My mother, my brother, my sisters..."

She nodded as she agreed with his ghost town analogy, frowning as her eyes caught sight of a late night cafe, where people sat out at street side tables dining al fresco... or at least, that was the normal intention.

"Except in ghost towns, there aren't supposed to be people, right?"

She glanced at him, then pointed toward the frozen coffee drinkers that had caught her attention.

	Morpheus hadn't even noticed the people until Lethe pointed them out. "Right." He looked in suspicion at the sight of statuesque people. There were no clocks in Dreamworld that worked. All clocks, even the ones he created, were broken. Time could almost be considered malleable there... "What the hell!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I have no idea. It seems things are amiss in more than just your realm."

She narrowed her eyes a bit, as if it was going to improve her vision.

"Are they even alive?"

Her frown deepened as she glanced around the rest of the town, arms hugging her chest as she thought there was something she was told that would offer a bit of insight on this... it was just on the tip of her tongue if only she could... Oh, it was starting.

"I think there's someone who knows what's going on."

	oneironaut 2008-07-22 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Morpheus looked perplexed, but he had some idea what was going on, even if he didn't believe it. He didn't believe it. "Cronus." "If anyone has any idea, he's the guy we need to see." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_lethe509 2008-07-23 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes... He's the one I was thinking of. Someone said he was back." She frowned again, the fact that she wasn't sure who told her that annoying her... it meant for all she could remember Morpheus, her memory was starting to slip. Still, she didn't say anything about it... it would happen if it happened. "He was in Tartarus before I was born." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneironaut 2008-07-25 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Morpheus sighed, he wasn't keen on visiting the Titan, but if he must to find out why everything was motionless, he would not hesitate. "Our problem is finding him. Until he sleeps I have no access to him unless I know where he is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_lethe509 2008-07-25 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	She shrugged helplessly. "You're asking the wrong person... I've no idea where he'd be. Not on Olympus, right? Is he that bad?" As far as she knew, her mother didn't know the Titan either... and all she knew of him really were the stories she remembered as a kid. Cronus was often the bogeyman in certain stories.

	He frowned, "Bad if youse considers what he did to his contenders in the past. Not so bad if he has put aside those dinning habits." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I suppose it would be a bit rude to ask him if he still had a habit of eating his relatives, and if we were far enough away on the family tree to be unappetizing..." She shrugged again, having no idea where to look. "We could just go ask someone where he'd be..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That is a subject I don't want to delve into with him..." He bit down on his lip for a moment, "He was trapped for so long--- I hope he is in the right mindset to receive our questions." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"From what I understand, he's already seen a few people. And if he's doing something to time, he's got to expect some sort of reaction, I imagine."

Her smile softened, and she brushed aside the fact that she couldn't place exactly *who* had told her he had had an audience. instead she focused on him, and the worried expression he wore, lifting her hand to cup his cheek, thumbing it lightly.

"Why else do it?"

	oneironaut 2008-08-23 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Morpheus thought: Reaction my ass. He is advertising. He wants something. He leaned into her touch, "Youse asking the wrong person sweetheart. I don't like clocks, none of them work in my part of town." "I expects he is expecting company on account of this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm sure he is..."

She bit her lip lightly, mentally going over the different things that were sure to be going on, trying not to focus on the anxiety that was growing internally as she felt little tidbits of information slip away from her. It was then she felt the tug, the call for assistance, and knew it somehow related to her.

"I don't... I can't go see Cronus. I think there's something I have to do, before... well. Just before I can't do it any longer. I'm sorry."
