Five-hundred-and-one million, six-hundred-twenty-two thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one...

[When the video feed flickers on, you get a nice view of the starry night sky stretching endlessly above. His voice filters through whimsically like something distant and far away.]

There's Andromeda to the north, Libra... Vulpecula, and maybe Orion's to the left, hidden away in the corner. [a chuckle, slightly regretful] Mm, I'm just kidding. I don't recognize any of the constellations here. And even if I did, I'll willing to bet that their names are probably somewhat different than the way I remember them.

Teddiursa Minor, maybe, or The Great Victreebel.

[He laughs, airy.] The stars here are still pretty, albeit nameless.

[The video screen dips downwards and inwards, illuminating a brown-haired boy, lightly smiling. There's an egg cradled in his lap. And wherever he's sitting, it's high above the ground, for the treeline is right there behind him, their tips caressing the sky.]

You know, it's a little strange that it takes a week-long coma and a very vivid dream to realize how nameless everything is here. [A pause, pensive. And almost to himself--] And it was a very, very vivid dream. I don't think I realized how vivid it was, until it came true.

[Breeze in the background, and he looks up, distracted. When he turns back, he's smiling again, wider than before, which probably means he's just that much more melancholy.]

Has anyone here had any happy dreams since coming here?



[action]

[For any late-night Cherrygrovers, he's sitting on a lamppost near the town square -- egg in his lap and Flygon sitting next to him -- murmuring to himself idyllically. His words, drifting along the wind-]

'...Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.'

I've had more here that I can remember than I used to back home. Not that that's too many! [[a very small laugh at that]] Most of them are better too.

[Video]

[reveiller]

Maybe it's the air here. Sweeter, unpolluted, and with the scent of wildgrasses.

[video]

[destinybonds.livejournal.com]

. . .

Happy dreams, huh? [hesitation. the answer is yes, but like hell she'd say that.] What kind of a question is that?

[video]

[reveiller]

Mm, well, I'm not sure. I was hoping that the answers would tell me. [a hum] It'd be nice to think that some dreams here can be as sweet as the air.

[cheerfulfacade.livejournal.com]

[He gives a shake of the head and a cheerful smile.] Nope! Not me!

[Though, that has less to do with the atmosphere of this world, and more of the events leading up to his arrival here.]

[Video]

[reveiller]

[a chuckle] Not a single one?

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

I did have a rather odd one involving Atobe and an Articuno. [note the distinct lack of a real answer!]

Whatever did you do to end up in a week-long coma, hmm? [y'know, so he can avoid doing the same thing.]

[video]

[reveiller]

Is my curiosity morbid enough to brave asking for details, do you think?

[a pause, and consideration] And it's a bit of a funny story, really. Would you believe me if I said it's the result of having too many unfinished memories?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, one or two.

[ guess who isn't fooled? ]

[video]

[reveiller]

After all this time? That's fairly disproportionate.

[three guesses, and otter isn't one of them]

action!

[usedrapidspin.livejournal.com]

[ late-night Cherrygrovers, you say. this one here can't seem to sleep, taking a stroll with his Riolu egg and Benji, his Growlithe, the self-appointed guard dog. apparently lost in thought, he doesn't notice anyone's there at all until Benji growls, staring up at the figure on the lamppost. ]

Huh? —Ah, oh. Benji, shh, leave him alone.

action!

[reveiller]

[An airy laugh, and he waves down, genial.]

Ah, no, it's fine.

Sorry if I started him. I didn't think anyone else would be up at this hour.

[video]

[loseyoursenses.livejournal.com]

And what did you dream about, Fuji?

[He contemplates his own dreams for a moment.]

I rarely remember mine these days.

[video]

[reveiller]

Lines.

[A faint shrug.]

They leave behind vague feelings, don't they? Feelings that tell you whether it was pleasant or not, that sort of thing.

action || Sobs this is like in every anime ever

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ out of nowhere, he'll hear Rangiku's voice ring out from beneath him. if he cares to look down, he'll see her leaning against the pole. her movements couldn't even be detected really ]

Can't sleep or something, kid?

action || /loves it ;A; <3

[reveiller]

[That startles him out of his reverie, and he peers down, slightly unsteady. The Flygon next to him cries out, plaintive, and he waves her off, attempting to soothe her.]

Shh.

[Ah, an unfamiliar face. He chuckles, genial.]

Something like that. Even if I wanted to, I don't think I can attribute this to sleep-walking.

You?

[video]

[holdsleftovers.livejournal.com]

I've dreamt--but not many happy ones. What about you?

[ This is unremarkable, though, since his canon is basically the animoo version of Inception, woops. ]

[video]

[reveiller]

Mm, doesn't it feel like there aren't enough happy dreams to go around? [avoidance haha isn't he the best at this] Were they nightmares?

[action]

[brokethevortex.livejournal.com]

[There's another person out late tonight--yawning and tired as Shisa prances and scampers ahead of him.

He peers around sleepily, swearing he caught the sound of a voice. Eventually he slows not far from the lamppost, glancing up and pausing as he sees Fuji, blinking in surprise.]

[action]

[reveiller]

[He's not the only one blinking in surprise -- Fuji peers down from up above, eyes refocusing in the dim lighting.

Ah, a familiar face. He waves, cheery.]

Sleep-walking is a mysterious thing, isn't it?

[action]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[There's a small cheerful cry that may greet you, Fuji, as a Happiny comes bounding up to you with what looks like a painted white pokémon egg.]

[action]

[reveiller]

[ahhh, there's a small pink bundle at the base of his lamppost *A* Whistling at the Flygon, she dutifully carries him down the short distance.

Aaaand, crouching--]

Ah-- are you lost?

[Video]

[oxidegreen.livejournal.com]

I don't usually dream.

[Video]

[reveiller]

Ah. Do you know why?

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

You were in a coma? Are you okay?

[video]

[reveiller]

Remarkably! I couldn't be better. Funny, isn't it, how things work around here?

[futariniousama.livejournal.com]

[ Niou's chillin' on a bench in the plaza at Goldenrod, his lap occupied by a peculiarly-coloured egg (http://firechao.com/Images/eggdex/th_spiritomb.png). A flame burns nearby, but offscreen. ]

I've got nothin' but happy dreams. Now, onto more important matters.

Are you a zombie?

video;

[reveiller]

[Ah. He blinks, amused.]

No, not really. But even if I were, your brains are safe, I think. Indigestion is a terrible thing.

[Video]

[alpha_stigma.livejournal.com]

[That you mention a coma does make him a little concerned. Not that he's going to show it, though.

Instead, he's just going to sit here, giving a certain Eevee a good scritch.]

Depends what you mean by happy.

[Video]

[reveiller]

[Aw, Ryner. He remembers the Eevee. Have a chuckle.]

Mm, I don't have a dictionary on me, but I'm fairly certain that it means something like joy.

Voice;

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Happy dreams?

Vaguely, I suppose. Rarely, as well. Though when they do happen, albeit happy they're often quite frustrating.

Voice; /latest. Feel free to assume that she gets the egg after this conversatio! o/

[reveiller]

Because you wake up after the fact?
