(INTERACTIVE) DREAM μ 05
Warnings: None
Effects: A temporary feeling of nostalgia, which ends when Noel allows access to her dream
Notes: At first, this is a non-interactive dream, but Noel ends up becoming self-aware within the dream and opens it up for Dreamwalking.
"♪On the hill where the stars are dancing... I will never forget the memories... of the stars... that we both gazed upon together... hand in hand...♪"
A voice singing. A room with a large chalkboard on the wall and four long tables arranged to form a square shape. For those who have went to those type of schools, it could be easily recognized as a Student Council meeting room. Seated at one of the tables were a pair of girls wearing matching school uniforms, sorting through the comment and suggestion forms submitted by the various students of the Military Academy so that dealing with them would be much easier. A third girl wearing the same uniform, quite distinct with her squirrel-like ears and fluffy tail, sits atop of an adjacent table, opting to laze about. The voice belonged to the younger-looking blond student, which some may recognize as Noel Vermillion. The other, a more mature-looking redhead that some would remember being Tsubaki Yayoi, glances to see Noel's bright grin and gives a small chuckle.
"... You know, you always seem so happy whenever you sing that song, Noel," she comments, momentarily stopping her work so she can focus more on her friend.
"Yeah, you're always having this big ol' smile on your face!" the squirrel-tailed girl chimes in, her hazel eyes twinkling mischievously. "Going by the words to that... Maybe you have a long lost love that you haven't told us about?! Oooh, are you keeping secrets from us, Noellie? Are ya?!"
"Wh... Wha... M-Makoto, stop that!" Noel couldn't even hide how red her face was turning. "I-It's just... That song really makes me feel... nostalgic somehow?"
She sounded really unsure of herself, for good reason. She didn't remember any of her past before she was adopted, yet... That song and its melody lifted her spirits for some reason, which really helped when going through the tiring task of organizing all these stacks of paper. The three girls continued to chat and joke around for a few more minutes, but were interrupted by the door opening slightly and the head of a very young boy with ostentatious glasses poking in.
"Umm... Excuse me," he nervously speaks as he steps in and closes the door in front of him, clutching a small bundle of papers. "I... I brought the documents from the Elementary Divi---"
"HOORAY! It's little Carl! C'mere, you!" Makoto squeals with delight as she launches herself from the table and practically flies across the room towards the poor boy. She pulls him into a tight hug, and it takes all of Carl's willpower not to drop any of the forms to the floor. Makoto could never keep her hands off of small boys...
"M-Makoto!" Tsubaki quickly stood up from her chair to scold the squirrel girl. "Please stop that right now! You're scaring him!"
Noel just sits there and giggles as she watches the events unfold. Just another ordinary day after school at the Military Academy. Fond memories. The conversations Noel had with her fellow students and friends. It's all precious to her.
"But... none of this ever happened... I know this."
As if on cue, all the other students faded away, as if they never existed in the first place. The Student Council meeting room once filled with the warmth of her friend's chatter and laughter quickly became cold and silent. Still in the form of her younger student self, Noel slowly rises from her seat, her smile already turned into a look of sadness and disappointment. She's become aware that this was all a dream, and nothing more. The Dreamberry is probably recording too... It's strange, knowing that she could sort of communicate through it even though she was taking a nap on a sofa in the mansion. She turns to look at the large window taking up half the wall behind her. The outside was pretty much a perfect copy of the Academy's courtyard, along with the detail of the grassy field in the distance. But, knowing how this was just a Dreamfield Noel just created in her mind, it was probably the same thing as taping a large photo to the glass.
"I want to run away, to escape... I just wanted to go back to when everything was simple..." she gives a tired sigh as she rests her forehead against the window's pane. "I need to open my eyes soon... I need to wake up from this. The illusion has got to end sooner or later."
Should she really wake up now, though? It would be nice to show people what her world was like... At the very least, the good part of it. Yeah, she shouldn't waste this opportunity. The idea actually manages to brighten her up a bit, and she walks over to the door that 'leads' to the hall, placing her hand on its handle. Speaking of which... What would the Military Academy be like if the people in Somarium were in it?
"Hmm... I guess it wouldn't hurt to walk around and see the campus a bit longer. I hope I remember what everything looks like..." she flings the door open, and the black void beyond it quickly constructing itself into a hallway with intricately designed windows and wall engravings. Large rotating symbols on the ceiling glowed, giving additional light and warmth. Pretty impressive, huh?
