.011 Sweet dreams

D R E A M S ~ M E M E

Dreams are difficult enough to understand. They range from embarrassing, to frightening, to thought-provoking, to just plain nonsensical. You may find yourself wondering what that was all about, or trying to forget about it as quickly as you can. It may be close enough to reality to confuse you, or dream logic may prevail. Whatever the case, the world of dreams is a way to delve into your psyche and deal with what happened to you that day, your fears, and whatever's on your mind.

Except... what's that person doing there?

Potential Trigger Warning!

How It Works:
~ Post with your character, name and fandom in the subject.
~ Others respond to your character.
~ Roll the RNG 1-6 for your situation, from the list below. That's the type of dream your character is having. Or, just pick the one you like the best.
~ The replier has found themselves in your character's dream, able to interact freely.
~ Have fun!

1. sweet dreams
Something like this might not happen too often in your waking life, if ever. You've found the world's largest supply of grape ice cream, you've won the lottery... or, perhaps, you're just having a really good day. Will this person share in your joy or ruin it for you?

2. nightmares
Your worst fears are being visited upon you tonight. Whether it's falling, losing those closest to you, insects, or something particular to you, there's no doubt you'd wake up in a cold sweat if everything went normally. Having this person there isn't 'normal', though. Maybe they can make things better.

3. sexy dreams
Isn't it so awkward when the person you're in bed with suddenly asks why you're dreaming about them in a schoolgirl costume?

4. bizarre dreams
It's hard to categorize this, but it probably seems perfectly natural to you that you need to find the smallest grain of sand in the world to stop an alien invasion up until someone points out how weird that is. And maybe it still seems normal to you even after that. They might be the ones being silly!

5. memories
The mind often revisits important events in one's life. For good or bad, you're back in time, reliving something that stuck in your head. But... that guy wasn't here before, was he? Or maybe he was, but hasn't seen it from your point of view yet.

6. combination/other
Dreams are many and varied. Mix up the flavors, or try something completely different. Wherever your mind will take you is game.

Hey, hey, you try knowing a dozen different languages and dialects and not get them mixed up.

"Both? Are you family? Mutual friend?" He laughed, eyes sparkling with humor. It's a charming, infectious laugh, even if he privately doesn't find this crazy situation funny at all. "Ah, but I get ahead of myself. Such rudeness; please forgive me, monsieur. I haven't even asked you your name."

	"Um, yeah, a mutual friend. Or, really, a mutual friend of my girlfriend's." If this wasn't a dream, Nate would assume the man was some kind of entertainment for the wedding, but he clearly wasn't because he didn't remember this kind of entertainment. "I'm Nate," he said, extending his hand, "and you are?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The offer of a civil handshake was a shock and Clopin instinctively jerked away in a gesture that looked like he was expecting to get hit, but after a brief moment of widened eyes, he wiped indicators of his surprise from his face. Clopin gave another grin, extending both his hands and clasping Nate's between his, shaking enthusiastically. "I am Clopin, Monsieur Nate! Simply a jester, here for the entertainment of you fine bourgeoisie." Sort of. Hell, he had no idea how he got there. And to be honest, he was suspicious about why such a rich, high class, fair-skinned young man was even speaking to a 'filthy thieving' gypsy, let alone offering to touch him.

...Come to think of it, a lot of this man's behavior was weird. Civility to a gypsy? Use of the word 'girlfriend' (what does that even mean?)? Not calling in the guards to whip Clopin for being in the proximity of a respectable wedding? It was all very... strange.

	Nate was kind of stoned, but he noticed how weird it was that the man went so wary when he stuck out his hand. "Are you ... okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	topsyturvygypsy 2012-01-19 04:05 am UTC (link)
	...Okay, now that was weird. Clopin couldn't stop himself from giving Nate a quizzical look. "You're asking after a gypsy's well-being, monsieur? Why?" Yes, Nate. Clopin was wondering why you're treating him like he's a human. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	((cannon puncturing, yay or nay?)) princearchibald 2012-01-19 04:09 am UTC (link)
	Nate was getting more and more confused. "Because you look all weird, dude. Why wouldn't I ask if you were okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	((Ffff, go ahead, Clopin will think he's crazy or a hallucination anyway XD )) topsyturvygypsy 2012-01-19 04:14 am UTC (link)
	"Because I'm a gypsy." Was that a difficult concept? "Those with money and fair skin usually see me as little more than an animal. Why concern yourself with the well-being of an animal?" You're confusing him, Nate. Stop it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	((Great!)) princearchibald 2012-01-19 04:32 am UTC (link)
	"Holy shit!" Nate said, the use of the word "gypsy" triggering something in his weed-addled mind. "I got to stop it with the Cool Ranch Doritios before bed, you're that guy! From that movies! You sing the song about the bells, man, I loved that movie when I was a kid." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	topsyturvygypsy 2012-01-19 04:39 am UTC (link)
	...Yep, this was a crazy dream. It's been decided. "Movie, monsieur?" What's a movie? "Perhaps I should be asking after your well-being. You seem very confused." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	princearchibald 2012-01-19 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"A movie. Like the one that you were in with the funny-looking guy and the hot girl and the singing gargoyles. Come on, you know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	topsyturvygypsy 2012-01-19 05:16 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Definitely a crazy dream. Either that or he's talking to a complete and utter loon. "I'm sorry, monsieur, but gargoyles don't sing outside of stories. Perhaps you should go lie down." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	princearchibald 2012-01-19 05:32 am UTC (link)
	"They sing in movies!" Nate insisted. "Movies ... like stories, that are made up of, like, paintings that move. And you were in one! You did a whole song about the Court of Miracles and everything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	topsyturvygypsy 2012-01-19 12:17 pm UTC (link)
	He was about to dismiss the whole thing again--maybe walk away from the crazy person as well--when, "What do you know of the Court of Miracles?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	princearchibald 2012-01-19 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	"I saw it in the movie! You all hide there and sing and dance and threaten to kill intruders!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	topsyturvygypsy 2012-01-19 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	...He wondered if he should take the man aside to slit his throat or something, but he sounded like a lunatic. Who listens to a lunatic, even a rich one? "Monsieur, I really think you should lie down. Do you have a nurse of some sort?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	princearchibald 2012-01-19 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	"No, I don't have a nurse," Nate admitted. What was with this dream person. If he was going to be in Nate's dream, he should at least be singing. He looked around. "Want to get high?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
