A dream

[temperedinpride]

[Dva, Raven, and Vergil will all find, whatever they are doing in their dreams tonight, that a strange portal appears invitingly before them. That looks safe! Well, at least Vergil is familiar with it.

They will find that taking it leads to a garden.]

[something feels different... but raven can tell, as soon as he looks around, that this is a dream]

What's the occasion?

Re: Garden

[temperedinpride]

A chance to blow off steam.

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

Upon what, pray tell.

[flexes his fingers and looks down at his hand for a moment... and then suddenly, shadow appears at his side, rumbling]

Re: Garden

[temperedinpride]

[He gestures at the door.]

Some simple constructs. More if you so wish.

[He looks at the shadow cat with interest though.]

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

[shadow sits at raven's feet, tail swishing as he watches cosmo, body language protective but not aggressive]

I don't recall requesting such a thing.

Re: Garden

[temperedinpride]

You did not. None of you did. Call it friendly initiative. You took the invitation, but it is not necessary to stay.

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

[he looks down at shadow, considering]

... consider my curiosity piqued.

Re: Garden

[temperedinpride]

If the three of you wish to go through that door this is a warmup of sorts. But only when you are ready.

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

Putting us through a gauntlet, I take it.

Re: Garden

[temperedinpride]

Something like that. I hope you enjoy yourselves.

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

You'll know very quickly if we do not.

[ on each other ;3 ]

[ she's summoned because cat. ]

Is this Shadow I've heard so much about~?

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

[shadow sits at raven's feet, blinking slowly at dva, tail swishing slowly]

Yes... though he's really just formed of my memories. Not that that's drastically different from normal.

Re: Garden

[420blazeit]

[ she crouches down and holds a hand out to him. ] Hey there, Shadow.

[ looks up at raven. ] It's still nice to finally get to meet him, and to be in control of our dreams is really nice... especially since they usually sorta... suck.

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

[shadow sniffs her hand... and doesn't do anything, but doesn't seem bothered either. he turns his head away, a sign of trust]

Do you think this is a purely altruistic gesture?

Re: Garden

[420blazeit]

[ she moves closer and pets him,
if he lets her, of course. ]

I don't see what he's got to gain from this. Brownie points with Vergil? Ha. I don't think I'd be here if that were the case. And maybe I'm turning a blind eye to the obvious, but everything, lately, has slowly but surely been turning into a never-ending source of misery, so I'll take whatever bit of reprieve I can sink my claws into.

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

[purrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

shadow's rumbling is very loud. he leans into the pets]

... if he's true to his word, it'll be... a good way to de-stress.

Re: Garden

[420blazeit]

[ nods her head and gives shadow some scritches. he's a good demon cat. ] ...guess we'll see.

Re: Garden

[auguryofinnocence]

[.....Shadow.

He's Looking but he's also going to look away and try to pretend he wasn't the minute he's caught.]

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

[shadow sees vergil and growls, but stays where he is at raven's feet. raven says nothing as he idly pets shadow's ears, just giving vergil a look]

Re: Garden

[auguryofinnocence]

[...Yeah that's what he thought. That's why he doesn't like this.]

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

You don't look surprised to be here.

Re: Garden

[auguryofinnocence]

I've never seen this particular setting before. But I believe I've mentioned I meet with Cosmo in dreams regularly. Sometimes he gives me something to fight like this.

Re: Garden

[selfpreservationist]

I wouldn't have thought you'd be keen on visitors.

Re: Garden

[auguryofinnocence]

As in adding you two to the mix? I'm not, I walked in here expecting only Cosmo. Maybe Five or Alexander.
