Dream a Little Dream of Me

Who: Dilandau and OPEN
Where: Inside Dilandau's dreams, with options to move to the waking world.
When: Days 83-88
Warnings: Torture, much fire, awkward teenage sex dreams, pictures behind cuts 1, 2 and 4.

Note: Dilandau's mental image of himself appears more like his icons, with short hair, no facial scar and appearing to be 15 instead of near 19.


1. A peaceful dream

The two moons hang in the in the night sky above the clouds. Clouds swirl upon the face of the larger, blue moon too, but the continents glimpsed through them would be incredibly familiar to those who know Earth. The air is piercingly cold and very thin, but as is the way of dreams this is only a fact that's known rather than a sensation experienced.

The only other feature in the dream is the metal tower breaching the flowing clouds, attached to the floating fortress that's sailing unseen through their depths. Dilandau's lying on the roof of the tower, wrapped up in his bedding, looking up at the night sky.

It's completely silent and incredibly peaceful.

2. Very symbolic, teenage fire dream

Everything's on fire. There are vague impressions of people running away and screaming as their city burns, but the flames are the only things that are in focus. It's hot in the dream and getting hotter as the fire flares to the rhythm of Dilandau's racing heartbeat.

Dilandau's in the middle of it all, sending fire everywhere. He might be in his guymelef or he might be simply throwing the flames with a gesture, but he's laughing wildly in manic excitement.

He's panting hard, as he's almost ready to release the final, massive of spurt of fire that'll bring the last of this city crashing to the ground.

3. Victorious war dream
A battle rages across an arid plain, waged between two sides using cavalry and infantry armed with swords and bows, and giant suits of armour that charge through the chaos and cut each other down. Their exact formations are vague and ever shifting, except for the red armour charging through it all like a whirlwind of death. This is Dilandau in his element, fast, graceful and completely deadly. Though his opponents challenge him, he quickly cuts through them towards the castle in the distance.

Those who appear might be out on the battlefield in the chaos, perceiving this all from Dilandau's viewpoint or sitting beside Dilandau in his cockpit, despite it being designed for one person in reality.

4. Torture Dream

The room is dark, except for the light focussing on the table onto which Dilandau is strapped. Green, glowing fluids flow through pipes around the room and shadowed machinery hisses steam. Cold-eyes Sorcerers stand around adjusting machinery or holding hypodermic needles. They take no notice as Dilandau begs and screams for help.

The feeling of terror and helplessness pervading this dream is overwhelming.

He watches all of this with a level of horror he cannot really contain. The machine melts away and Dilandau escapes. And Charles has a moment of everything falling from him before the dream collapses and he's left hurtled back into his own.
mentis: (= | and he said that he'd never)

Charles is out of the door the minute he feels Dilandau coming. His anger and intent are so strong that it makes Charles' teeth set on edge as he slips out of the door past Erik's room and into the street. He's only wearing pajamas and the boots of his flight uniform and there's a moment where he wants to laugh because the man has a sword.

His hand flies to his temple, his fingertips digging in once before he freezes him right where he stands.

"You know, if you hadn't stormed over here with a sword I wouldn't have to use my power offensively. Be thankful it's me greeting you at the door however. My housemate is less unforgiving."
mentis: (= | i want to cry)

"If you go for your weapon again, I will have to stop you."

But slowly he gives up control of Dilandau again, his gaze careful and cautious.

"I didn't intentionally enter your dreams, Dilandau. I wouldn't have were I conscious of it."

He rubs a hand over his jaw and looks thoughtful, "It would appear we have some sort of problem here in the cape. Those who do not dreamwalk have started. I wouldn't be surprised if this were another experiment."
