42 dreams - Action

[dreamsofnoah]

[A dark, vast cavern of nothingness, no walls visible in any direction.

The very centre of it is illuminated, not by candles for once, but by an unseen source of light. A gentle creaking fills the space as an old rocking chair moves gently backwards and forwards. Seated in the chair is a large man, glasses obscuring his eyes and his mouth frozen in a gigantic grin.

And in his lap a little girl with dark gray skin and golden eyes, crosses marking her forehead. She smiles as the chair continues rocking the two of them, and over the creaking a soft melody can be heard, Road humming the tune in time to the movements of the chair.]


((ooc: open for anyone to interact (the Earl won't be speaking to anyone). I'll treat each thread as a separate incident. She's also perfectly aware that she's currently inside a dream.))

[Popping by, just to glare at her.]

[dreamsofnoah]

[Looking very comfortable and smug, she just flashes Akiha a particularly sweet smile and wave as she continues humming.]

[moresake.livejournal.com]

[She's just watching, very quietly.]

[dreamsofnoah]

[She notices her but doesn't say anything since she wasn't approached. She just continues to allow herself to be rocked, looking particularly calm and content.]

[moresake.livejournal.com]

[She's not going to interrupt, then, wandering back into the dark of another dream. She'll figure out Road one of these days. Maybe.]

[dreamsofnoah]

[She grins just a little bit as Yuuko walks away, waggling the fingers of one hand in farewell as the woman moved out of Road's dream.]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

[Senses something familiar coming within the dream and steps into its landscape.]

[dreamsofnoah]

[She's still humming away, but she does notice the new arrival.]

[dreamsofnoah]

[And this is one guest she won't pretend to ignore, even if she hums her way to the end of the song with him before acknowledging him.]

Yo, Tyki.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

Yo.



Not your doing, I take it.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

[Follows the melody to its source.]

[dreamsofnoah]

[Giggles a little bit, very much amused at all this.]

No~, not this time. I like it anyway though. Feels like home.

[She snuggles a bit closer to the Earl, who pats her head in return.]

[dreamsofnoah]

[She waves at him when he gets closer, but stays seated where she is.]

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

I suppose so.

[dreamsofnoah]

[She's almost about to object to the cigarettes when the Earl leans down to whisper something in her ear. She grins.]

Tyki~. The Duke asks if Tyki-pet wants to sit in his lap too ♥

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

I doubt the Duke would appreciate the smoke.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Considering this is her dream, it's an actual possibility. The Earl resumes rocking the two of them in the rocking chair.]

They're not good~ for you. ...he says.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

Many things aren't.

[dreamsofnoah]

That's true.

[None of them were particularly good at staying away from things that were bad for them, after all.]

I wonder if this~ is trying to tell me something.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

You should know better than anyone else, shouldn't you?

[dreamsofnoah]

Hmm~, I do. It's so easy~ to pretend sometimes that you stop noticing you're doing it.

[An amused laugh before her next words.]

Home is where the Heart is.

[onlyteasing.livejournal.com]

It might be one of them, here. Did you want to call this place home?

[dreamsofnoah]

[She shakes her head at that, still laughing.]

This place is even less than a dream for how much it really affects us. Nothing that happens here really matters in the end. They're there as well as here, and so are we.

[Shinigami do have this way about coming and going- and that's how he comes to this place- suddenly, there]

I do so love that tune.
