Movie Mirage event
[Just seconds after today's morning greeting has finished, Puck appears on the floating island, looking out over the sector with a grin. Sure he could have done this before Veridical's broadcast - there are doubtlessly more people awake now than there were five minutes ago - but since there's not much he can do to enchant the wardens, it's better to wait to make sure they don't say something to ruin his lovely surprise. But now!]

[He doesn't broadcast his spell; in fact, he's not even wearing his communicator, but if someone just happens to pass by the floating island at this moment, they might hear what he's saying:]

Plays of old forgotten be
Yet theatre's still an art to see
Evolved from stage to silver screen
This morning Puck will go unseen
Deliv'ring visions unto all
Come join; we'll have ourselves a ball!

[And thus we have ourselves an event. Details here.]

[For some reason when Dick woke up this morning it as still dark outside. He'd gone outside because he didn't understand why the lights were still out, but everything looks...different. More rural. There are haystacks, a rundown barn with one of the doors hanging on by a hinge, and a tall, gangly tree with long branches reaching out to the sky that had no leaves. It may as well have been dead.

He walks around the side of the building and...finds corn fields. Lots of corn fields. Where did all of this come from? He turns to go back inside but his apartment building is gone and there's...an old farmhouse in its stead. The wooden swing on the front porch creaks as it swings in an invisible breeze.]

Okay, this is weird. And creepy.

[...Was that the sound of a chainsaw in the distance?]

	[ Hei can only hear twittering in the distance, a hundred birds are singing in perfect, wondrous harmony ] They do take some getting used to, don't they? [ he's trying to smile, but honestly. All that happiness is rather creepy. Since when is anything absolutely perfect? It's impossible. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Dick spins around, taking a step back in surprise.] Where did you come from? [He can't hear the birds, but he thinks the guy is talking about the corn fields.] What do you know about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he blinked and then frowned ] You can't hear them? [ he wasn't prone to hallucinations, but after his brief time in the Gate, he knew it was but one step towards cracking. It wouldn't be the first time he's watched someone lose it; It would be the first time he did. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All I hear is--[Suddenly the chainsaw shrieks in the distance and a very human scream breaks through the air and Dick spins around, trying to figure out where it came from.]--that! Somebody's in trouble! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ well that wasn't... quite... ]

Are you certain? [ because he's only seeing a peaceful scene around them even if the darkness of the mood starts to shed a growing shadow across the forest. A shiver ran down his spine. ]

If someone's in trouble... [ he nodded ] Let's call the Defense Force. They'll take care of it. [ it was the sensible, responsible thing to do. ]

	What? No, they could be dead by then! [Dick turns to head toward the screams because he's not going to stand around while someone is in danger.] You can hang around here, but don't go in the house. It'll probably fall on your head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Hei's hand immediately reached out to grab the back of Dick's shirt, if he's not too late ] Don't be hasty. If someone's in danger, it's for a reason.

[ he hesitated and then let go (assuming he managed to grab Dick at all to begin with) ]

Hurry, but stay out of sight. You'll do no good if you get caught.

[ and yes, he'll come, if only to make sure Dick doesn't get into trouble. He's always had a soft spot for children, no matter how hard he's tried to deny it. ]

[Dick is a bit more aware of his surroundings than that, so he catches the hand is coming and ducks to the side easily, spinning to look at the weird guy while frowning.]

I don't have to stay out of sight. If someone's in trouble I'm going to help them.

[He might sound a bit more serious that his small stature and age would have him be, but someone sounds like their being hacked to death and it's enough to make him sick. He can't just let it happen. He turns back around and hurries into the cornfield, pushing the stalks to the side to maneuver through it.]

Then go, and I'll be close behind.

[ And to Hei, it simply looks as though he's brushing aside the foliage, tree branches, wayward bushes.Choosing a different path, a parallel path, he treads softly as he keeps the boy in sight. If Dick won't stay hidden, Hei will do his best instead and the weight of his new knives against his sides is a comfort. Whatever comes his way, Hei is prepared. ]

Fine, just come on. [The screams end but the chainsaw is still going and Dick feels a terrible sense of trepidation over what he might find. He wishes he had his Robin uniform. Or a batarang.

The corn feels like it's getting thicker. Like he might never find his way out. The dim light suddenly disappears and everything is pitch black. He looks around, then up. Thick clouds cover the moon. Damn.

And where did the other guy go?]

[ Hei still as night plays completely across the forest and the birds that had been hovering across his shoulder fall silent. There is danger here, but he cannot find it, cannot pinpoint it. All there is is him and the boy.

Treading with light feet, he circled the clearing, eyes trained to pick out every nuance, every shade of shadow that might fall wrong across the bushes, across the mat of leaves. He could find nothing amiss. Speaking low, his voice carrying across the clearing, he attempted the nudge the boy on. ]

What's wrong? Did it stop?

[ whatever the boy could hear, it was unsettling. Hei was not used to going unprepared into battle. Not even one such as this. ]

	[Bucky ducks behind another alley just around the corner, bringing Piper with him, and immediately pulls out a his gun. Two men burst out of the doors he had come from, guns ready. He whispers back to her quietly.] "What dress?" What do you think you're wearing, a fancy bedsheet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
