Who: Watanuki + Aeris + everyone
Where: Inside your dreeeeeams
When: Day 176, night. (after Allen's return.)
What: Watanuki and Aeris go dreamwalking. Shenanigans ensue!

[Watanuki would be a pretty damn competent dreamwalker ... if he had all of the relevant memories back. As it is, he has the power required but not the control. Which means that his forays into the dreamworld lead to a big fat interconnected mess of unconscious psyche.

What are you dreaming about tonight?]

(( OOC: Dreampost! This is done CFUD-style. For those not familiar with that, here's how it works:

A) If you comment to the post, you're hosting a dream of your own. People can comment to you as part of the dream (i.e., you dreaming about them in your head) or as a connected interloper.
B) Similarly, if you comment to someone else's thread, you're either part of their dream or crossing over from yours to theirs.
C) Feel free to remember as much of (or as little of) the dreams as you like.
D) If you're participating, then your bracer is open a tiiiny crack or two during slumber. Or otherwise briefly permeable.
E) Watanuki (and probably Aeris) will be out and about, but not commenting to everyone. Ping us if you want one of us in particular. ))

	I wouldn't feel fine, if it was Red or Claude or one of the others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah ... w-well ... we all need to support Allen right now. And I'm really not doing bad at all, other than this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, of course. I don't have any at the moment, so the same thing won't happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[the porch fleshes out, rapidly expanding into Yuuko's full shop. Watanuki is sitting on the porch in a ... rather feminine kimono, and Doumeki's grandfather is next to him. There's something different about Watanuki this time -- he seems older, although he's not any different physically. something in the way he sits, and how much more power is resting on his shoulders. he's playing a shamisen quietly.]

[there's some playful banter between the two of them. Watanuki talks about how Doumeki and Mokona kept asking him for more songs, and Haruka replies that two is just right for seduction.

and then they begin to talk about Watanuki. His decision to wait for someone important: stopping his own time, becoming immortal, wearing her things ... he's even taken up smoking a pipe, which is new for him. Whoever this woman was, she disappeared years ago. Something in the memory is blocking Watanuk from remembering her identity, however...]

	[s-seriously. Watanuki slumps at the shamisen, even as the music plays on. The bitterness of parting...] That ... that was a lot ... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[small nod. Meeting without parting, I hope.] I stopped my own time a-and secluded myself away from the world, to minimize my effect on it ... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ghostduster 2010-10-04 02:13 am UTC (link)
	I-I don't know. I remember something about being a rare existence. Maybe I wasn't supposed to exist at all ... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	time_andagain 2010-10-04 02:24 am UTC (link)
	That's impossible, you're here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ghostduster 2010-10-04 02:29 am UTC (link)
	That's what I meant. I'm here, but I'm not supposed to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	time_andagain 2010-10-04 02:32 am UTC (link)
	That doesn't make sense. If you weren't supposed to be here, you wouldn't be here. And why would I be 'closer than anyone else' to someone who wasn't supposed to be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ghostduster 2010-10-04 02:35 am UTC (link)
	I don't know! Why am I immortal in this memory? W-why did I lock myself in the shop? And why am I even here if I can grant wishes for other people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	time_andagain 2010-10-04 02:41 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. But I can't be connected to a person who doesn't exist, that isn't possible... ...All wishes require an equal payment. If the price for your wish was too great, you wouldn't be able to grant it yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Something that big ... [calming down somewhat] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	time_andagain 2010-10-04 02:45 am UTC (link)
	... I couldn't ask Yuuko-san to erase the seal from Sakura unless I paid with my own life. That's why I was trying to find a way on my own. Some wishes are too big. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
