waitsforbrother | Dream 002 - There is no refuge for the deprieved in dreams

Warning: Lots of imagery of blood...probably not suitable for kids
Effects: (optional) A strong sense of hunger, agonizing pain, feeling of being restrained, smell of blood and maybe a metallic taste

There's nothing but darkness, so dark that nothing could be made out. And since sight could not be used, the other senses were heightened.

Drip,drip, drip

A fluid plummeting to the ground in small, constant amounts.The sound of that echoes,bouncing off the walls and resonating within the space. The sound of the dripping grew louder, becoming more apparent.

But it wasn't only the sound, but the smell of it ,too. A coppery, rustic one that hung in the air and lingered. It was almost teasing, how the metallic smell took up the space. And to add to the insult, the smell was strong enough for it to be tasted. Mingling with memory of the tongue.

The urge to go after the source of the sound and aroma followed soon after, but any movement to go towards it was negated by this pressure placed on the body. Hindering it from moving anywhere. Making the whole predicament worse, being stuck in the middle of the assault of senses. Hearing, sight, and sound all doing it's part to torture.

----

The dream is cut short when the dreamberry is thrown off the edge of what appears to be a bed. It hit the floor with a clatter, but fell onto it's back so it continued to record. A dark figure emerges from the bed, clutching at his stomach and staggering as it got its footing. However, that seemed difficult, so the figure allowed himself to lean on a nearby wall for support. The figure picked up his head, realizing that the dreamberry is on. He stumbled over to it, shutting off the device.

Er--

That--

It's not what you think!

I just... I meant to tell you that you shouldn't broadcast dreams like this to everybody! It's indecent! Don't think I don't know what that dream really was!

...You make it sound as if I wanted to show people my dream? I'm not a pervert like you.

I don't go around showing everybody how I do it! Especially that!

What are you going on about? What do you mean by that?

I'm talking about dreams. And you call me the pervert!

Because you are the pervert.

What's so explicit about my dream? Too thought provoking? Too much emotion? Not enough images?

That's not-- Urk! [He can't lie and say it's not true because lol who is he kidding?]

There are too many images! Don't put any more in!

Heh...it's my dream, it can have whatever it likes within it. It's not like I get to choose what I dream.

If you don't like it, don't watch. Simple as that.

It's too late for that! I already watched it whether I wanted to or not!

....and I should care...because?

Do you really want everybody seeing that?

...No. But I can't do anything about it now. It was out of my control.

They say if you think about it too much, you'll dream about it!

...you would know all about that,wouldn't you?

Oh, I don't dream about it that much!

...I guess that's all you can do. Dream about it. [Kamui shouldn't be talking.]

Like you have room to talk!

Heh...I have nothing to prove to you.

You already proved it!

...whatever.

It's not whatever! You're an even bigger pervert than me!

...that's wrong. No one is a bigger pervert than you. Don't insult me.

Like Hell I am! I'm a fairly conventional guy! I'm not into that kinky stuff.

[Except he kinda is. But overall Hideki is very vanilla.]

[You're CLAMP creation, Hideki.You can't get away with Vanilla. You need to add some chips and flavor into that cream. But yea, Kamui's probably into the kink.]

...sounds like denial to me. You've done nothing but talk my head off about indecent things.

[It's kind of hard when you can't even have normal sex with your girlfriend. He'll have to find other, not-so-vanilla ways...]

Hey, at least I'm not in denial about what I like!
