Elliot!

[Big sister doesn't approve of this dream. Not at all. Not that it's familiar or anything because it's not.]

What in the world was that about?!

[snapekillsedgar]

That's what I'd like to know.

[Seriously. Big creepy tongue with blood on it? What was that even supposed to represent in a dream?]

[stfuelly]

[She shudders and wraps one arm a little tighter around her body. Yeah, she felt those chills plenty.]

Did you eat something strange before bed?

[snapekillsedgar]

Not since dinner, but that wasn't that weird.

[Noel had a pretty good scream after witnessing that whole scene. With her hands trembling, she clumsily placed a video call out of concern. She tried her best to smile reassuringly, but it was obviously forced, and it was clear that she was scared by whatever it is she saw.]

... It looks like you're okay. Th-Th-Thank goodness it was only a dream...

[snapekillsedgar]

[Hmm? When he saw that it was Noel calling, he expected her to be all stuttery and nervous as usual, but right now she looked downright terrified, and he could tell easily. She wasn't that good at hiding her emotions.]

Yeah... It was just a dream, so what's wrong with you?

[I mean, it was kind of scary to him too, but not THAT scary.]

[bloomtrigger]

[Noel couldn't believe how calm he could be over this. She frowned at his response.]

Wh-What's wrong with me?! A lot of people would react the same way as I did if they saw that thing too! What in the world was that, anyway?

[snapekillsedgar]

I think it was a huge tongue... [Yes, that alone creeped him out a little bit.] But, whatever. At least you didn't have to see what it was attached to. Was it really that bad?

(Wrath watches the dream on the Dreamberry, of the somewhat disheveled man walk down the hallway, unwittingly followed by a creature with a long tongue, something that he found quite familiar--it looked like Gluttony--it was not, most likely--he did not have a long tongue--the only common features were an impossibly wide mouth and flat teeth that were always bloodstained. But the resemblance amuses him. He chuckles.) It was a good thing that he did not eat you in your dream, young man.

[snapekillsedgar]

[Hey, that was a noble you were thinking was disheveled. He couldn't share Wrath's amusement though, since, obviously, he didn't know Gluttony as well.]

Uh--- Yeah... Whatever it was.

[candidate_no_12]

(Another human, another meticulous visual breakdown. On second glance, Wrath realizes that the young man is more put-together, now. His eyes? Blue like an Amestian's. Soft, genteel face, most likely well-born. Critical, but somewhat casual gaze. Wrath is somewhat incredulous that the human does not know a figure from his own dream.)

Are you saying that you have never encountered that monster in your life?

[snapekillsedgar]

[Part of him was wondering why this man cared. He had certainly never met him before, though, from the look of him he could have possibly been from the same world Eliot had been used to.]

I didn't really get a good look at the thing, but, I'm sure I'd remember seeing something like that.

[Even as he spoke those words, something in his mind kept saying he had seen it before, but why it was doing that, Eliot couldn't guess for the life of him. After all, he had no clear memories of seeing a monster like that. It may have been a combination of other monsters he had seen before.]

[charientisms]

My, my, Mister Elliot, what a gruesome dream!

[snapekillsedgar]

[Oh, wonderful. Just who he wanted to talk to. He still hadn't forgiven him for ignoring people during that vegetable attack.]

It wasn't that bad.

[charientisms]

[...Ohhh? That is rather curious.

...But what could only be a contract--

Curious. He wonders, now, what might lie beneath this young master's shirt.]

Ah, but of course! I did not mean to overemphasize your dream in the least.

[snapekillsedgar]

[Nope, nothing curious about it, at least from his perspective.]

Ugh... Why do I get the feeling that you wouldn't care either way?

[suppressedtime]

[How strange that Master Oz also had a nightmare recently...]

Master Elliot...? Are you quite alright?

[snapekillsedgar]

Huh?

[When Elliot answered, it was dark in his room, and he definitely looked drowsy. He had been trying to get back to sleep, but he kept thinking back to that dream, completely confused by the weird sense of deja vu he felt during it, even though he barely saw anything.]

I'm fine, Lady Sharon.

[suppressedtime]

Are you certain? What an off-putting dream. Might you perhaps wish to converse your thoughts to someone about it?

[snapekillsedgar]

It was just a dream. It's really not that big of a deal.

[Nothing he though Lady Sharon, or anyone else, should be concerning themselves over anyway... Maybe he had some deep dark secret fear of tongues that he never knew about?]
