The Astral Plane (CVnU location)

@rumbleman_exe:

"The world of dreams is a fickle realm

A dark ship with a madman at the helm

Who fashions nightmares from fantasies

And plays with our realities....

But this world is different, you are right

From the place I wander every night."

Nahteb begins to walk forward, cautiously, but she is clearly relaxing more by the minute, accepting that she will not come to harm here. She looks back at Slim.

"What do you dream of while you are here?

What wonders do you make appear?"

@xnahtebx:

"I dream wonders of a childhood, one I never had

small feet, a bicycle and a dog named fred

I was not born of woman, but a man now dead

This is a place where I lay, away from dread"

Slim materialized a colorful lollipop and shared another with her

"what about your thoughts, maiden of color

does light dream of photon waves?

or do you dream of a rising gem"

@rumbleman_exe:

"A rainbow lolly? I am impressed

That is the type I like the best!"

Excited, Nahteb giggles, and her rainbow eyes flicker, a myriad of colours swimming across the irises.

"So this place then is your escape?

From a life of pain and a past you hate?"

She considers this, nodding.

"Now to this I understand, you see

There are things from which I flee

But life can be quite cruel it seems

For nothing hurts me like my dreams

I dream only of the things I lack

The things I had and can't get back

So while such a world is captivating

I also find it quite frustrating!"

@xnahtebx:

---

"Not a past, one which I loathe

Just a distant when, one which I never had

It was not one because it's bad, It was none

But now I'm glad"

He smiles as he swallowed the candy in one go

"What is it that you lack, in this realm you can have it back

make believe, then make it real

now you can see this realm's appeal"

@rumbleman_exe:

"You have a point there, friendly stranger

But I also perceive some danger

In summoning what I want most

He would be an illusion, a ghost

And while it may soothe me for a while

To see him here might make me smile

No matter what it made me feel

It wouldn't actually be real

I would end up here night after night

Until my skin and hair turned white

Wasting away with every hour

Losing life and losing power

The illusion of what I once had

I fear that it would drive me mad

So while I see in theory it's okay

I refuse to taunt myself that way."

@xnahtebx:

"O princess of rainbows,

would you need, a being

to warm you in companionship?"

@rumbleman_exe:

"If I'm honest, the one of whom I speak

Is all the company I seek

But to have you here eases the pain

Of never seeing him again

I am beginning to like you, Slim

Perhaps...I could be happy away from him?

I may still seek him, but as I mend

It might be nice to have a friend."

@xnahtebx:

"You give me hope, yet you radiate doubt

You should be at peace, emotions unclog

You need interaction, and to that end

May I be the being that keeps you company?"

@rumbleman_exe:

"After being shown such an intriguing world

I ask you how could any girl

Refuse the company of one so charming?

I find your manner quite disarming

So yes, then, you may be the one

I spend time with - that sounds like fun"

:)

@xnahtebx:

" You are the muse, and I am your lyre,"

His pale hands reach out and pulls her closer, so that he can gaze into her monochromatic eyes.

Leon appears in the plain. He had been here more than once but never lingered

@rumbleman_exe: (sorry about the delay, RL stuff ;D)

"You are an interesting one, I must confess

You're motives here are hard to guess

I see you wish to know me well

But why that is...I cannot tell."

@xnahtebx:

"I wish to see a world of color

explore sights, which black eyes have never seen

a new panorama in all its spectrums,

for I am stain and you are clean "

@rumbleman_exe:

"Well they do say opposites attract

I can see now that it's a fact

I feel I could learn much from you

At least...if you'd permit me to?"

@xnahtebx:

"I am but ink, there is much to write

you are pretty, I concur

you can read me, it will be but a ride

now ask what you will, let it occur"

@rumbleman_exe:

"I must say I enjoy your rhyming

Your use of vocabulary and timing

I'd like to get to know you well

I bet you have so much to tell

So tell me, of your hopes and dreams

What makes you laugh? What makes you scream?

What are the things which stir your soul?

And in this life - what are your goals?"

@xnahtebx:

"Hopes is to improve, dream is to be guile

laughter comes from triumph, screams come from scaring bad guys

Villainy shakes my soul, the goal is

to make things better, for you and for all"

@rumbleman_exe:

"If improving life is what you do best

That is indeed a noble quest

My friend, already I can tell

We're going to get along quite well."

@xnahtebx:

The shadow approached the rainbow and takes her hand

"Improvement is something I am working on

A goal that takes time, moments that I used to endure alone

With you I have lasting motivation,

Now I have light"

@rumbleman_exe:

"It is an honour and a pleasure

True friendship is the rarest treasure

But the whole time I am free to roam

You, dear Slim, are not alone."

@xnahtebx:

"I am your monochrome prince,

you are my rainbow princess

there is a kingdom, between thought and ecstasy

sensation materialized, just between us transparency"

He materialized a pumpkin carriage in the air

@rumbleman_exe: Nahteb's eyes widened. She gazed at the carriage in wonder. Then her bottom lip trembled, and she turned away.

"I don't know if I can come with you

As much as I am longing to

It is so sudden, it's all so fast

And things like this so rarely last..."

She held her hand up to her face, gazing at the rainbow ring on her left hand.

"I'm sorry, I must go my friend

Believe me this is not the end

But you see I've not quite gotten over

The love I carry round for Gober."

With this, she opens her umbrella, shuts her eyes tight, and vanishes from the room.

(Or rather, it is quite late here, and I have to be up early hehe! But I would definitely like to do this again soon <3)

@xnahtebx:

Slim watched as he regressed into a crow, back into his nest and cuddles into hibernation in a bed of cotton.

@xnahtebx: Leon watches the girl as she vanishes. "can't help but feel some kind of pity for her.."

he sits down preparing himself for the war he was gonna be soon fighting, trying to clear his head

@ragman1138: A black octopi appeared from the background, manifesting into sight as it ate a shark from someone's nightmares.

@rumbleman_exe: leon stands up disturbed from his deep thought and watches the strange octopi thing. "what the...."

@ragman1138:

"It appears that there is a psycho mutant that is giving children nightmares for the hell of it, that does not slide with peter the octopus"

@rumbleman_exe: leon laughs. "i'm not a dream eater my fish like acquaintance i'm here preparing myself for what is to come. who are you exactly? and psycho?.. yea i guess some could call me that, it all depends on the person."

@ragman1138:

"The name is peter, call me octopops and I help others in need. S'pecially little ones who are defenseless on the dreamscape, and you are not the disturbance I seek. There are shark like beings that smell of orange purple, those are bad. You are... you"

@rumbleman_exe: interesting...and these shark thingys give kids nightmares or something?"

@ragman1138: "Yeah, but they are quite formidable for hominid types. Get bit and you might wake up in the material realm while forgetting how to tie your shoes"

@rumbleman_exe: they aren't too pleasant i see. so do you ever go into the material realm?

@ragman1138: "Yeah, I frequent old places. Churches, museums, libraries... you name it"

@rumbleman_exe: Leon thinks to himself like he is dying to ask the guy something but bites it back. "so do u help people there or screw with them? like what do u do there?"

@ragman1138:

"Long story short, I used to terrorize everyone but now I only scare off bad folk"

@rumbleman_exe: "So lets say for example that i know of some people that have been after the headmistress of a school and a war is starting and a bunch of innocent lives were at stake. would u be interested in fighting."

@ragman1138: "I would not, as I am bound by an oath which entails not to indulge in the affairs of hominids. Also earth is an annoying place since it gives interference to my powers due to its traffic of other beings. Gods/aliens/undead/science/magic/whatever, the order is too chaotic"

@rumbleman_exe: well that blows. can u atleast teach me how to use these dream powers?"

@ragman1138: "This is a realm where imagination is king, where thoughts replace muscles and the place that dreams literally become true. A location shared by all humanity, try changing hair color"

@rumbleman_exe: turns his hair red then back to black. "ok now how too i manipulate these in the real world?"

@ragman1138: "Hair dye, however I can help you carry over some of the 'traits' of the dreamzone into the material plane. Provided that you follow some terms"

@rumbleman_exe: leon laughs a lil at the remark. "and what terms would those be?
" he asked slowly

@ragman1138:

"For you to drink a glass of 'black water', that is all. 15 metres will be the range of your manipulation, however as two planes intersect there will be drawbacks"

@rumbleman_exe: what is this "black water" do exactly and what are the drawbacks

@ragman1138:

"It is a drink from a chalice that will be air sent by a raven, drawbacks are similar ones to both dreamzone and material plane. You may have advantage over those with more 'direct' powers, but those with mind related faculties will be detrimental to your existence"

@rumbleman_exe: I see..." he said as he looked at the man. "now say that in dumb person terms and i'm pretty sure i'll accept it"

@ragman1138:

"Well if you have made up your mind then there is nothing that I can do to stop you, although you should be of 'clear mind' when exercising that power. Inexperience is an easy way to die."

[if yes, random location thread there will be a cup of black water in your home with a note attached]

@rumbleman_exe: i'm up for it. i accept

(pick any thread. just tag me in it lol)
