i_weavedreams ENOUGH! [Desire - Important Plot]
The Dreaming was in chaos. Everything there, every thought, hope, dream, and fantasy reflected a single face, over and over again. Dreamers whispered her name in awe and worship. Thoughts of lust, hunger, want, need, jealousy, rage...
This was not the doing of any mere mortal. Not even the gods held this kind of sway.
Only the Endless did.
Rage fueled his actions. Already weary from the excursion in Hell, Dream had no patience for trying to sort the matter out diplomatically. His realm was in disarray, and removing the source of the problem would be the fastest way to setting things right.
Dream burst into his Gallery and siezed the sigil of Desire.
"Desire. I am in my Gallery and I hold your Sigil. Speak to me."

"Oh blah blah blah."
Desire stood from his chaise lounge and produced himself in front of his brother. He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Why is it that you are so utterly incapable of just coming over like anybody else? Really. It's not that hard, darling brother."
He took a drag off his cigarette and pulled at his lip.
"What. What is it. What do you want oh mighty one." Of course the tone was mocking. What else could it be coming out of Desire's mouth?

The stars in his eyes flared like supernovas. "I, unlike some, my brother-sister, still respect the etiquette and privacy of my kin. But since you have answered my request, I shall consider your words an invitation, no matter how ill-sounding they may be."
Dream stepped over the frame of the gallery portrait, his cloak flowing with him. Flames licked the bottom, and his eyes gleamed like ice.
"Cease whatever it is you have done to this City, Desire.

Boring.
"It's fun, and she's having fun. She just doesn't know it yet. Besides. This city was a drag until this."
Really, he knew he should be afraid. Making Morpheus mad was a talent, sure, but getting this kind of rage was a problem. Anything could happen. Actually. It was a little exciting. Maybe secretly, Desire wanted to be hurt by his brother. Not that he'd ever tell.

"You have taken their will, and made Barbara Gordon an unwitting pawn in a game that you have already lost interest in organizing. You would allow their lives to fall to ruin, for a moment of amusement that can never be satisfied, by your very nature?"
Morpheus shook his head, black hair flailing wildly. "Sibling, I have just returned from Hell. You would do good to heed my instruction, before the final grains of my patience have been lost."

Well.
He was sort of right.
The whole thing had become incredibly dull. Everybody had done everything he'd thought they would. Rioting. Fighting. Arguments. Hilarity had come and gone for Desire.
He rolled his eyes again.
He looked at his nails and shifted from male to female.
"Fine."
The pulse reversed this time. Coming from the City into her. Three times, as it had before.
Every bit of unnatural desire for Babs was gone. The only thing that would be left were the actul feelings. The real ones that had existed before Desire had stepped in.

"Good."
Moving swiftly, Dream touched a finger to his sibling's forehead. Merely a brushing contact, but in that instant the ability to dream was withdrawn completely from the younger Endless.

Desire frowned.
"What'd you do?" She rubbed her head.
She felt different. But she wasn't sure how.

"Your dreams have been taken away, brother-sister. Until you have proven that you are worthy of your station once again."
Morpheus closed his hand, and a glimmering stone took form within his fingers. This was placed within the depths of his cloak.
"We are their pawns, Desire. Not the other way around."
Dream turned back towards the gallery to leave.

"You're such a giant asshole sometimes."
Desire stamped her foot.
She started to fade away too, then stopped. "Dreams don't work without Desire either." She pointed out.
And then disappeared before he could do anything really angry.

Dream paused, and shook his head with a sigh. This would not end pleasantly.
He returned to the Dreaming and began to carefully remove the chaotic remains of Desire's twisted game, like a diligent gardener pulling weeds.
