blueeyeswhitedoppelgangerWHO: Noa Kaiba and the rest of Kaisou
WHERE: Your Literal Nightmares, the City, Kami State Park, and LIBRA
WHEN: Libra Post is Oct 5. Action/Nightmare Prompts are Early-Mid October; Before Horrors and After Horrors allowed!
WHAT: Nightmare Punching Jobs stop for no-one, and socializing is hard. Also, HIS CAVE!
WARNINGS: Will be Added Accordingly for any Nightmare Threads
Familiar Dreamers will know- whether for a brief time while they lived in a particular place, or even for the last number of months, even years, nightmares can and have ended with a sudden interruption.
That persists even now, even if there has likely been something of a break for the last few weeks.
"Well now. I didn't expect to see you here."
For more physical nightmares, terrors and creatures, the words enter the air after a massive streak of white lightning pierces the source of the dream. As whatever entity that stood there begins to burn, now ablaze with ozone and smoke.
For more emotionally charged visions however, for visions of loved ones, the sphinx takes a more cautious, perhaps more caring approach. His words may even be softer, empathetic, rather than casual, before he trots around behind the dreamer themselves.
In all cases however, be it as a distraction from psychological perils or in the confidence of knowing a physical one crumbles, he lays down in a comfortable spot- propping his head upon his paw like it's a human hand. "I see things haven't changed."
New Dreamers however...that is to say, those who haven't had the joy of being haunted by a weird 'Egyptian' creature occurring in their repeated nightmares...will find said nightmares interrupted as well.
It might be abrupt- the partial mountain lion scrambling in through some brief ripple before straightening himself out with the energy of a cat trying to convey that he absolutely meant to do whatever just happened. Or, they could find their nightmare stricken down with that same blast of white lightning employed for regular threats, if only to more quickly clear the air.
Or maybe it's more subtle. Someone watching from far back, as events of some kind unfold. Calculating. Waiting for the right moment to intervene, before finally doing so-
"Does this usually happen?" a voice from that presence drawls- and for some, that might just be the first indication anyone was there at all.
The Human Option
Having received his tips...Somehow, it's time to do some looking around. Obviously, he could have been spotted in the Order's 'work place' so to speak, once or twice, but the main goal of things today is...re-adjusting, he supposes. In his human state, he's about as tense as possible. Eyeing passing cars as he investigates recommended food stops, sniffing curiously and openly at the dishes in question. The human appearance keeps his long hair, albeit held back in a loose braid- he also, for now, 'dresses' in white rather than black. This isn't work related, after all.
Of course being that odd attracts attention, so once he realizes he's being stared at, Noa turns his attention to the source. "...Can I help you?"
The Kitty Option
In the more discrete form of a house cat however, he's a bit more happy to roam. The sight of a cat zipping across roof tops is entirely easy to ignore after all! Less easy to ignore potentially is the same cat staring at you for more than a few seconds after you leave a building. And what definitely can't be ignored is-
"That place there." Oh good, it talks. "...Tell me about it."
The Kami State Park
And with all of that out of the way...Noa, in his 'proper' body, head of man and body of (mountain) lion, head back 'home'. There's one last thing on his checklist to do though, which is why the first stop on the way there is to a flowing creek.
A sprig of wood is set aflame with a short huff of lightning. A plastic wrapped loaf of fancy looking bread removed from the packaging.
"Mother Neith, I offer to you a prize of better tastes and a promise of more to come," the sphinx starts, carefully setting the bread into the creek with his paws. "I offer to you 'artisanal bread', crafted by professionals for their flavor and shape. I ask that it sees you well."
And the bread is released. Down, down, down the creek it goes... ...And Noa's ear flicks.
He isn't alone. "...Do you mind?
