The Dream Realm

@twilight_ "Butcher legs"? XDD
@jupiter_hollow @dada_dragon @dramatic Ask Twilight? 😋 I'm sorry... I'm just so lazy. o3o @inkstep
--

Levi felt her right leg cramp, sending her rolling to the ground to be engulfed by the grey. Air pressure dropped, making Levi's ears popped. There was a moment where she could see everything around her.

The boy carrying two other girls, his pace slowing, and Tiger maybe a 100 feet away from her. The landscape was grey. Where the boy was there was color, but it was losing its vibrancy as the darkness rolled on, overtaking the once-perfect world.

Where she was? Only grey. Grey grass, and dead, looming trees. The sky was overcast, making Levi assume that rain would start up soon. Black rats, owls, and other creepy creatures looked about with glowing red eyes, some staring at Levi as if they were staring into her very soul/

Then, blackness.

Cold, cruel blackness.

The kind of blackness that made you want to scream bloody murder. An impenetrable blackness is where she presuambly sat now.

Slowly, color dripped all around her, formulating a grey room.

Her old bedroom.

twilight_ • 25 May 2013 at 11:37 PM

@ems XD Typo..."but her legs"

@jupiter_hollow @dada_dragon @dramatic Ask exactly what? O.o


Tiger felt a strange electric spark all over her body, making her feel trapped. Her body felt curled up, unable to move a single muscle. She struggled to get up in the sudden pitch black, stumbling and tripping. Some bright lights flickered on as she tried to yell, tried to open her eyes, but all her senses seemed incapable. Bright lights forced her eyes to close, though when she opened, all she saw was darkness, darkness that hurt her. Then, lights came on. Street lights of Miami.

Looking around slowly, Tiger hesitated to move. She stayed curled in a ball at first, like a little cocoon. Was this a trap? A wolf howled at the bright moon overhead as she rested her legs, and basically her whole body.

ems • 25 May 2013 at 11:57 PM

@twilight_ LOL. Dramatic needs a summary. 😋 The history makes more sense if it's just her mother, and you'll understand why in a minute, I promise. 😋
@jupiter_hollw @dada_dragon @dramatic @jemmie

"Oh no." Levi whispered. "Please, no..." A harsh sound of laughter - female - cut through her mind, and Levi backed towards her window, looking out to see if she could jump. Only an endless fall awaited her.

Her door burst open, and Levi turned to be faced by the nightmare that haunted her sleep.

Her mother.

"You know why your daddy left?!" She shrieked.

'Not again...'

"Because of you! YOU brought the demons back!"

"Mom... You forgot to take your pills."

"NO! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

A baseball bat was in her mother's hands, and Levi knew all too well what it was for. A sharp pain cracked through her skull, and warm blood dripped down her face. The only color here was crimson. Levi cried out in pain, falling to the floor. But her mother wasn't finished. No, she'd be around for a while, then leave Levi to lick her wounds, grieve the loss of her mother, and wonder what she ever did wrong. That was the worst of it.

She was trapped in her personal nightmare.

And this time, there was no window to jump out of.

There was no escape.

twilight_ • 26 May 2013 at 12:20 AM

@ems Yay! Depression!
@dramatic Smmary-

They get sucked into anightmare realm and get tortured. Blah.


--

Tiger looked around, stuffed trash cans and rusty cars. A small light rose over her college as she raced over. There was her old apartment, her old, rusty, mouse-filled apartment. Her only job was at Walmart, as a low-wage cashier.

Though, she never got to pay attention to the beautiful sunset. When I was little...Tiger thought...Aaw, I remember...Mother-She paused, thinking of her mom. She was beautiful, with Beauitful blonde hair. How she missed her.

ems • 26 May 2013 at 12:28 AM

@twilight_ Yay! 8D
@jupiter_hollow @dada_dragon @dramatic @inkstep
--

Then the screaming was gone, and Levi was left bleeding in the colorless room, crying. She had long since locked away her pain, but the return of her worst nightmare ate through the locks of her mind like acid, setting loose the agony that the girl had thought she'd left behind years ago.

She screamed for mercy, crying out for help, yelling questions that couldn't be answered.

twilight_ • 26 May 2013 at 12:31 AM

@ems OMG, are they in the same world or not? Like, they can meet up somewhere, somehow, or are they in different Realms? I think they should be in different realms, but once they solve heir problems, they will get this locket or something that they can only use once, then they can all meet up back at Dream Realm 😸

Like shattered glass, her life struck back. Her boring, annoying life. Her surf board broken, her rent due in 1 day...

ems • 26 May 2013 at 12:38 AM

@twilight_ I think they should be able to help each other through their problems... Levi's too tramatized right now to understand that it's a dream or whatever. XD Like, imagine that you were bullied really badly at school (for being fat or something like that), then had the most real dream about like a year later. That'd open a lot of crap up again. XD We should also wait for the others to get here.
@jupiter_hollw @dada_dragon @dramatic @jemmie
--

FInally, when the crying had stopped, Levi curled into a bloody ball on the floor, hiccuping as tears continued to run down her face. Reliving every moment of the past 5 years. 5 years. She dealt with this horror for 5 years before running. And now, a year later, she had to live it again.

dada_dragon • 26 May 2013 at 1:38 AM

@twilight_
@jupiter_hollow
Can Aykay and Eytan end up in the same place since Aykay's issue is not tied down to a specific location and she's being held by Eytan? I figured I'd ask both of you since Twi owns the rp and it's Jupe's character.

Aykay wished he would set her down. She wanted to walk on her own. She had been stuck in a wheelchair for the last year and now that she could walk, she couldn't even enjoy it...

"Eytan?" She asked. "My brother's name is Ethan. It's pretty close..."

The darkness was right behind them now. It did look kind of threatening now that he mentioned it... as she watched, some of the others fell behind. As soon as the darkness hit them, they vanished.

"You might want to pick up the pace..." she said, stunned.

jupiter_hollow • 26 May 2013 at 5:21 AM

@dada_dragon Hey, how about they both end up in a hospital? o.o I mean, Aykay can go back to the day after her accident and when they tell her she was paralized and Eytan can be there for his own reasons ^^ Erm, let's discuss this? XD @inkstep @ems @twilight_
-
His grip on the blonde girl's hand had slipped long ago but only as she fell behind did he notice her absence. A sudden second later she was laying helplessly in the ground, calling for help as was Tiger (he somehow knew her name...), who ran not far away... At one point, they were both engulfed by the grey barrier, instantly tipping backwards and falling into what seemed like restless sleep.

Only when the blonde on his shoulder piped up did he notice the thinning distance between himself and the darkness.
"I can't..." he rasped out, glancing sideways at Pixle in mid run.
"Hey kid..." he mumbled, referring to both Aykay and Pixle.
"I'm gonna let you go now. And you're gonna run." he warned, lowering the girl down in his arms. "Fast."

Taking a sharp (and rather painful) grip on Pixle's forearm, he tugged her foreward, giving her a boost and chucking Aykay ahead in the mean time.

He stopped. No use in running, really...

He turned around to estimate the distance between himself and the barrier of black and found it inches from him...

Moment of truth... He wondered if he was going to go back to his dead self? Or die... Ironically.

Bracing himself for impact, Eytan closed his eyes and let the darkness swipe over him.

The impact was mind shattering... The collision of his body against the wall felt solid enough to knock the air out of his lungs. He unconsciously parted his lips in a silent gasp. The intensity of the hit pushed his body backwards like a punch to the gut.

He felt his blood go cold, the colors gradually fading from his body. Every inch of coloration was washed away, grey taking over his skin, black - his hair and eyes. Even white was absent in the color palette of this world.

His air deprived lungs screamed for oxygen and he inhaled in a desperate attempt to airate them. Instead of the sickly sweet rose aroma from before, it felt as if he had inhaled smoke. Doubling over, he scrunched his face in pain, ending up in a violent coughing fit.

There wasn't /any/ breathable air, it seemed.

aizel • 26 May 2013 at 5:44 AM

@dada_dragon @inkstep @twilight_ BUTCHER LEGSIES .3. @ems @dramatic yolo dude! Erm, darkness is falling over them .3.

EDIT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! xD

twilight_ • 26 May 2013 at 11:01 AM

@dada_dragon Yeah, how about you are at the day of the accident? @aizel @jupiter_hollow Whatever account you're playing on, I think we need to discuss something. I SAID IT WAS "BUT HER LEGS" BRO!!!!!!! @ems Alrighty 😸 @dark_link

Guys, I'm laying down the law here:

-They are in the same Dimension, the same Realm, just in different places. My charrie is in Miami, Levi is in her bedroom somewhere, and blah blah blah. They'll have to meet up, I don't know how that'll happen, but they will help each other with their problems.
-If you had an accident, you will go to the place of the accident. Ex: Jupe's charrie is lying on ground after Russian Roulette 😉
-Basically, you are back to your life, but there is no escaping this time. Paralyzed, defeated, blah blah blah.
-Once you solve the problem(s), you will have to wait for everyone else and you can go back to Dream Realm, where you can go back to Real World, except your life has changed... Except that would end the RP, so I was thinking maybe we could cook up some more problems in NR.


EDIT: look @aizel 's post on the discussion, then my post.

dada_dragon • 26 May 2013 at 11:45 AM

Aykay had barely a moment to think before she was thrown ahead by Eytan. She managed to keep running for a short time, but her legs seemed to have forgotten what they were meant to do, and she tripped.

For a brief instant, she was falling towards the ground, but as the darkness hit her, the ground vanished from beneath her and she fell through the air.

She screamed as a rocky surface rushed up at her. Right before she hit, she heard someone yelling her name. Ethan?

She hit and instantly she blacked out.

dada_dragon • 31 May 2013 at 8:58 PM

@dramatic
We got into the dream world, we complained, the darkness started chasing us and some of us fell in, which is causing us to re-live the experiences that are causing us to be miserable.
😸 So it's pretty much a party. 😸

twilight_ • 1 June 2013 at 10:55 AM

@dada_dragon Lol yeah.
@dramatic Feel free to just appar back in the Nightmare Realm if you want.

And then she heard the awful keening sounds, but this time they came not from her. Levi listened silently as the tear trails slowly began to dry to her face with the mixture of blood. Suddenly, Levi could hold it no longer; and joined in, the rough and screeching harmony of the cries her only comfort. It became deafeningly loud, but Levi couldn't stop. Only when the cries that weren't hers intensified more was Levi able to yank herself from her reverie. It was horrible. Who was crying?

The answer was shoved into her mind seconds later. /It's mom, idiot./ Levi nearly smacked herself. Her mother was the only other being here. But then... Why?

"No!" The sharp cry cracked through the shadow realm, or whatever it was that had re-created Levi's home. Levi flinched. Creaks insued, and Levi felt the terror wipe away all other thoughts as her mother entered again, looking just as angry as before.

"Do you know why your father left?!" The shriek was clear. The pain audible.

All Levi could do was offer her meek and useless reply. "Mom... You forgot to take your pills."

"No! It all your fault! You brought the demons here!"

@dada_dragon thanks!

Hannah Woke up. She remembered nothing. 'Where am I?' She thought. The sky was yellow and branches were flying. All of a sudden she had no control over what she did. She ran back into the house and grabbed her cat. Her sisters hand grasped hers.

ems • 1 June 2013 at 12:07 PM

@dramatic Bro, they aren't waking up. 😋 Read Twilight's post about the NR. They've been overtaken by the wall of darkness, and are all currently reliving the awful things that have ruined their lives. Somehow they have to fix the problems. And it can't happen too fast since we're planning on cooking up some trouble so the RP lasts longer.

Deleted • 1 June 2013 at 1:57 PM

@ems XPPPPPP Sue me for assuming things without reading!!!! XP *edit* I have a uestion though, When they fix it here, does it fix it in the real world?

ems • 1 June 2013 at 2:10 PM

@dramatic No idea... Twilight was kind if vague.

@twilight_ Bro... Um... Dramatic's post. XD

And then there was air.

Half as thick as before but not fully breathable either. There was a tint of smoke, which he was actually thankful for. It wasn't enough to choke him or deprive him of oxygen, but just enough of an aroma to calm his senses, the familiar scent sinking in gradually. He exhaled deeply, heaving a sigh as he realized there was another smell laced in with the nicotine.

Lavender.

It was a painstakingly familiar aroma, although he couldn't quite put his finger on why exactly it felt so disruptive to be in its presence. Scent was his only active sense at the moment, the rest of him feeling as weightless as he had been ever since the black wall swept him up. Upon realizing he had a fair amount of control over his body, he made an attempt to open his eyes (which he had seamlessly closed) and was lightly surprised when he succeeded in doing so.

There was soft yellow-tinted light.

Contrastingly to the blinding one back at the Dream Realm, this one had a calming and soft effect on his vision. Instead of icy grass prickling his skin, he lay on a soft and firm foundation, that felt warm from the sunrays cast upon it. Eytan himself was showered with light too, but the rays shining in his eyes were calming rather than not.

At one point, besides scent and vision, his hearing also actively picked up a dull thud. His fingers twitched. The accidental movement made him realize is ability to actually move and he quickly got up, taking cover without even bothering to take in his surroundings. All he was aware of was the vague interior of a house, but nothing else familiar except the scent of lavender.

twilight_ • 1 June 2013 at 5:27 PM

@ems Yea when they fix the problems in the Nightmare Realm, the RW (Real World) will be happier, they can live their life as they were meant to be.
@dramatic Same.
Sorry for being vague, I'm terrible at explaining!
@Jupiter_hollow

So they are in the same realm, as in meaning they are in different places in the world of NR except they can somehow meet up, maybe airplane, I dunno.
On the discussion, I think it was either Jupe or Ems that mentioned they should somehow meet up and help each other with their problems...How about when all problems are fixed, they receive a key from a wispy figure, maybe? That key leads back to RW, where life is happy. But we need more problems. How about right when they receive the key, a shadowy figure takes it away and tosses it into a black hole(as in where all dimensions are sucked into "The Unknown" and some of us fall into the black hole too? Not all of us, some need to stay in NR and try to help.

Deleted • 1 June 2013 at 6:09 PM

@twilight_ No problem
! xD

Hannah picked up her sister and screamed for her mom and dad to follow her. Her cat and dog ran along beside her. They ran down the dirt road together. When they were far enough away, the family sat down under a tree, the strong wind shaking the leaves and branches above them. Hannah's hair whipped around her face. "How far will we have to go?" Asked Hannah's sister. "As far as it takes to find somewhere else to live." replied their mom. With that the family, dog and cat fell asleep under the tree.

Violet woke up at school. The bell rang. She stood up and went out to her locker. "Hey Violet, Phone me after school. I want to something fun." She nodded.

jupiter_hollow • 1 June 2013 at 6:37 PM

-cont-
After a short while, the vague thumping sound became more audible and he recognized it as heavy footsteps trailing the staircase. The steps were visible from where he stood and soon, a pair of bare feet came into view. Despite not being able to see their owner in full lenght, he noticed the waggly posture from the stumble in each step.

A faint feeling of dread settled in his ribcage, the generally foreign feeling sending waves of confusion to his mind. All senses perked up with unease and he fled. He darted from the corner behind which he hid and ran past the staircase without bothering to look at the person to see if he could recognize them or, at least, if they had seen him.
His mind had made it clear it that he wasn't supposed to be here.

The atmosphere was caked with dread and unease, something completely familiar and at the same time, completely different from anything he'd felt before. A sort of melancholic dread, a fear from... memories. He feared the scents, the familiar walls, the strings of sunlight he had seen before.

He couldn't remember.

He didn't want to.

He did, actually... He did want to remember.

He just feared doing so.

His own pair of feet pounding against the floor led him to the room opposite of the staircase where he was met with more footsteps. A slamming of a door. A startled yelp. Wide eyes staring at him. Staring /trough/ him.

...

It was a child. Standing in the kitchen, having just sneaked in through the back door. Frozen in mid motion, slim tanned fingers still resting on the doorknob. Dirty clothing, ripped, blood-caked jeans, scratches lining every visible inch of skin, pitch dark eyes and tousled hair of the same color.
And that child, that same child, triggered a downpour of memories and fear with just one flicked of his deep dark brown, nearly black eyes. Eyes that perfectly matched Eytan's... ironically filled with an equal amount of fear.

There was a brief time warp as both dark figures stod completely still, frozen along with the clock on the wall that he always forgot to buy batteries for. Identical eyes, one pair holding a sheen of emotion, the other - holding nothing but bland colors.

The younger stumbled backwards, raw fear taking a firm grip. He stumbled. Nearly fell. Caught himself up with the support of the doorknob. Looked up, his gaze sweeping past Eytan without noting his existence, and settled on a small figure behind him. A gasp left the smaller lips.

"Mom..."

aizel • 1 June 2013 at 8:40 PM

It was not a label, not a title, neither was it something anyone in particular would recognize ever saying for it was such a familiar little word. But Eytan recognized every pint of emotion painfully dripping from the single syllable. There was hurt, unease, confusion and dread... lots of dread. It was distinctive, familiar, singularly emotive. In his life, he'd never been able to interpret the word universally because it had always represented only one person, not many.

'Mother' meant fear.

And fear stood in its full lenght, leaning against the doorway of the kitchen with obsidian light-deprived eyes. He faced her now. She faced him too. No, not him... the young boy. The young, rebellious Eytan Ayax that had just sneaked in through the door after another fight in the streets. It hadn't been his fault... They'd started it first, insulting him, chucking rocks. They had been the ones to challenge him. And he'd won after all, half of them were laying on the ground when he'd left, he remembered that clearly. She wouldn't care, though... She never did.

"Where were you!?" the high-pitched screech of rasped worry reverberated in the tiny enclosed space. The smaller version of Eytan flinched at the sharp echo, pressing himself further into the door. She came closer to him, to the older him and he shaply made a move to back away. Developing a rapid pace, she was inches from him in the matter of seconds. She approached him, came in sharp contact with his form and then passed... through him. Inhaling sharply, Eytan heaved a gasp, the feeling of transculence even for a moment taking his breath away.

Clammy, cold hands reached towards the boy and he frowned fully, clearly depicting the contact before it was even made. Her sharp fingernails eventually dug into his shoulders, tugging him sharply to her, pressing his head involuntarily into her bony chest. "Don't you /ever/ leave like this!? EVER, you hear!?"

There was a familiar desperation evident in her voice, also a fear of loneliness that had always been obvious during her presence.
"You're not allowed to leave this house. Ever! You're staying here for the rest of the week, you stupid boy. /How could you/ be so much like you father!? And then what am I gonna do!? Stand here all alone to rot because you clueless gits can't handle your own brains!" she yelled in a drunken frenzy, completely oblivious to the gashes marring his skin.

jupiter_hollow • 1 June 2013 at 9:00 PM

And then there were the memories... He did not qite remember his mother, not her appearance at least. He only remembered that she was a beautiful woman. Not too special, though. Her words, her ego and arrogant self... those were the substantial things about her. The curses and yells were most memorable. His childhood had consisted of looking at her dead eyes and blatantly lying about everything and anything.

He remembered this day well, however... And the next few ones.

"Go away!" the boy bluntly grunted at the woman, who took notice of this.

"You stupid, look what you've done! You're bringing in dirt, little mongrel. Go otuside now and take off those filthy clothes."

He knew it wasn't a request and, truthfully, didn't have to be told twice to leave the house (and his mother's presence). The boy stepped out of the back door, Eytan trailing after him. He watched as his younger self took position under one of the upstair windows and began shedding his clothing.
Once only his briefs remained, he crossed his arms in an attempt for preservation from the cold and waited.
He didn't have to wait long. His mother soon showed up on the upper window with a bucket of cold tap water, tipping it over and giving him a freezing shower. The dirt and blood easily washed off of his face, but so did the coloration.

"Now stand there and think about what you've done!" she hollered from above, slamming the window closed. The door was locked, both the little boy and the young man knew it. Minutes later, the two were settled next to each other, leaning against the side of the house.

Eytan Yin Ayax, 12 years old at the time, spent a night in the freezing wheather, completely deprived of warmth and clothes.

dada_dragon • 1 June 2013 at 11:17 PM

As Aykay faded into consciousness, she realized that she was in an ambulance. It was just like her accident... as she struggled to make sense of it all, a sudden realization made her heart stop.

She couldn't feel her legs.

"No no no no no no no..." she said, trying to sit up. An ambulance attendant gently restrained her.

"Relax." he said. "You need to lie down."

"MY LEGS!!!" she yelled, both in shock and enraged. "I WANT MY LEGS BACK!!! I HAD THEM JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO!!! I WANT THEM BACK!!!"

"Calm down, Aykay." Ethan's hand was on her shoulder. "They're going to help you..."

"NO!!!" she yelled again. "THEY WON'T!!! THEY DIDN'T LAST TIME AND THEY WON'T NOW!!! I WANT TO GO BACK!!! AND WHERE'S EYTAN???"

"I'm right here." said Ethan, confused.

"NOT YOU! THAT GUY WHO WAS IN THE FIELD!!!"

Suddenly, she felt a prick on her arm.

"The sedatives will calm her down." said the attendant. "She probably has a concussion. She's confused."

Aykay struggled to get up, but she could feel herself drifting off...

Tiger stood up, and stretched. She dug her hands swiftly int her ragged jean pockets, staring as the sun lit up the early morning sky. Inside her pockets, she found a few crumpled up wads of tissues that she carelessly tossed into a trash can near by. But then, there was a piece of old, faded out paper that she almost threw into the trash can. But she caught in, just in time.

Reading the light, wavy calligraphy, she read a few words from a copy of her parents' letter. She had never got the time to read it, between jobs and school, nothing worked out for her. Not even the fact that she never got to tell her parents...That she was planning on dropping out to attend an art school. It was dated a few days before their death.

She let ou a sigh, releasing cold air that was just barely visible. Early winter here...One of those cold mornings. Soon it wold get a cool warm as red, orange, yellow fell from the sky. She loved that feeling.

@twilight__ Alleiujah! A discussion topic!

The family woke up to a calm fall morning. The air was chilled and a gentle breeze blew through the air. They stood up and walked for another fifteen minutes before coming to the neighbouring city. Hannah's mother walked into a 7-11 store with a hiring sign out front. Her father walked inside a hotel to try and get a job. Hanah was left alone with her sister, dog and cat. "Let's go find somewhere to rest." Said Hannah picking up her sister and walking off. Her dog and cat followed her.

Violet phoned her friend as she had promised after she finished her homework. "Hey Vi. Wanna go bungie jumping?"

"Off of what?"
"A cliff."
"It sounds too dangerous."
"Really Vi?"
"You guys can go but I won't."
"I'm still your friend though. I won't pressure you."
"Thanks. Bye."
"Bye."

Little did she know Violet's friend was lying. She would try to pressure Violet into doing many things that could get her injured or in trouble with the law. Violet and her friend would eventually ditch each other and the problems would be done, but not for a long time yet.
