Requiem's Ideal World run #1

Oh. You have a text-- wonder what that's about?
...
...
?
Hey, there's some junk in here that's not in the right spots. Take a good look around and fix that jazz. Everything's got a place or whatever.
No sense in hiding from yourself, right?
... what is this, a text for ants?
Re: the candy kingdom
She shrugs, with a lopsided, awkward smile. "It's a nice dream, right?"
Re: the candy kingdom
She shifts again, also awkward. “You...Ah. You guys made up?”
Re: the candy kingdom
She pauses, then gestures to the door Hurricane went through. "Would you be jealous? The part of this dream that's you means you're as happy as she could manage to make you, as well."
Re: the candy kingdom
Gestures at the location. “Like—some things’re pretty obvious. But other things seem kinda...funny.”
Re: the candy kingdom
Re: the candy kingdom
She takes a breath after all that, folding her arms around her middle and bowing her head. "I don't wanna ruin her happiness--any more than I already have. But--is she really happy here? That's...what I gotta know before I do anything."
Re: the candy kingdom
"But uh, more importantly, where you gettin' seven girlfriends from? I won't say she doesn't love Sabre or Ashley but they got their own stuff to worry about, she knows that. And you... well, she loves you." A pause. "Her happiness isn't dependent on possessing anyone, you know. She's totally aware that Hurricane comes first for you. You being happy makes her happy."
Re: the candy kingdom
"...What about you, then? Even I know you're important."
Re: the candy kingdom
I might be important, but-- well, she's a vampire, and I'm immortal too. I'll be here long after the rest of you pass on whether I'm her friend or not."
Re: the candy kingdom
Re: the candy kingdom
Her last adventure."
Re: the candy kingdom
She sighs, looking down. "Anyplace else I should look before I head back to her? I gotta-- I wanna spend some time, before. Uh."
Re: the candy kingdom
There's a long pause before she continues, soft, "... you don't have to either, you know. You could stay-- be happy. Live a good, long time, having adventures with everyone.
Be loved the way you deserve."
Re: the candy kingdom
And she drops her gaze again. "Anyways, I ain't the only person in here. So--it ain't all up to me. But...if I got the stuff, at least I can kinda--control it, maybe. At least...that's the plan."
Re: the candy kingdom
Re: the candy kingdom
And she hooks her thumbs in her pockets and makes to leave, probably to check out whatever part of the castle grounds she hadn't seen yet, then back towards scary city, since it seems. Ominous.
Re: the candy kingdom
the further you go, the more things start to look decrepit and ruinous-- you can smell the acrid tang of smoke, see the flames reaching over the edges of the building. you can see the sickly green clouds curling higher and higher, towards the sky, the howling faces of miserable spirits screaming in unison as they spread over the land.
huh, that was weird! when you blink, everything returns to normal. sure some of the candy buildings are a little crumbly, but it's a bit much to expect the gumdrop people and banana guards to keep up with this when they have other things to attend to.
Re: the candy kingdom
She takes a little closer look through these obviously run-down scarytown areas, since. This.
Re: the candy kingdom
The locals are still pretty cheery though.
Re: the candy kingdom
Re: the candy kingdom
Thinking about it, you're pretty sure that was a hallucination of some sort.
