Post by Yume on Jul 3, 2015 13:49:42 GMT
For the past two weeks, Yume had felt terrible, Gensho hadn't returned after she gave him such a nightmare, and as much as she tried to tell herself that she didn't care... She did. Somehow he made his way into her cold heart, and she missed his visits, if only a little. And after two weeks of nothing but feeling guilt, Yume took a breath, and for the first time in years, left her home, seeking out a group of people, making sure a certain bundle of clothing was in her grasp. The surroundings all looked different, and was such a strange sight from her usual barren and burnt land, but she had no time to look over it all, not yet anyways. Landing down in front of where she knew the infamous Mun Clan would be, Yume took another breath and mentally prepared herself for doing this, the helping, the people, the questions bound to be asked, she would warn them of her conditions though, make sure they knew they had to be kept for her to help, but it was still terrifying to do this. Storming to the door, Yume kicked it down, hopefully making those inside jump, before looking around and finding Gensho, throwing him his 'burnt and missing' clothing, before turning around taking a few steps and glaring at the other occupants in the room. "Listen up. I'm Yume, the one you've had this fucker here ask help from. If I'm going to help, I have conditions that must be met, no negotiations, no refusing them, understand? Because the second even one is, I'm gone, I'm out, and you wont twist my arm a second time around. I will give you all five minuets to get in contact with anyone else you need here, and I don't suggest you try and speak to me in that time, unless you don't mind having fifth degree burns." If she's playing, they are playing by her rules. |

As bad as Gensho felt for not returning to Yume, he couldn't bring himself to. Of course a lot of her pranks hurt, and hurt to try and give him the message that he wasn't welcome. But they were never clear enough for Gensho. That last nightmare, that was enough of a message to Gensho to stay away. He didn't want to ever experience something like that again, and the Demon God still didn't feel all that recovered yet. The children, the ones Gensho recognised from his nightmare, kept coming up to him around the clan as usual to ask him about the night. But right now, Gensho couldn't look at them without feeling sick or guilty. It was all just a dream, wasn't it? Gensho wouldn't really lose control like that, he'd never kill innocent children, or Akvan. The latter was treated the same as the children, Gensho unable to look at his brother properly without feeling upset. And to make it worse, Akvan seemed to know that, and insisted on still being around Gensho for now. He just wanted the God of Night back to his cheery self, feeling the blame for Gensho's misery on his own shoulders, as usual. Gensho knew he couldn't hate his brother for caring so much, but it didn't mean Gensho was willing to explain to Akvan, or anyone else what his nightmare had been like.
Gensho was spending the day, a couple of weeks after his last visit to Yume, in the main hall of the clan. A lot of people were also in the hall. Gathering together to comfort one another as they feared over how things would turn out. Others were sick from lack of sleep, especially children. Things didn't look good, and that brought Gensho's spirits down even more. He leant against a wall, hat covering as much of his face as he could. Others were around him, keeping the Demon company whilst all just sticking together, still discussing plans as if there was a hope left. For once, Gensho the much positive Demon felt hopeless, he couldn't bring himself to think of the good right now. And hope wasn't something Gensho thought of anymore. But, it so happened hope found the clan, crashing down their front door just to present themselves. Gensho pushed his hat up, a little surprised at first with who he saw, but after catching the clothes, he smiled. Chuckling quietly, Gensho nodded to Yume's instructions. He'd say hello, but that wouldn't end well according to Yume. So he looked to the others, a slight smile back on the God of Night's face. "Most of us are here, I think the only others we need are with Zuura outside." Gensho claimed, talking to the others though loud enough for Yume to catch as well.

Yume looked around the group of people, recognising only a couple. But she knew there were others needed, she knew what powers Mitasu held, and what was needed in return, and the amount she saw here, was not nearly enough for the challenges to come, nor were many strong enough. Glancing to Gensho as he spoke, Yume gave a small barely recognisable smile, glad he didn't seem to hate her all that much, not that she would ever admit she was grateful for that, but sorting out her emotions, Yume looked back to the others and shook her head. "Were going to need more then this... Don't you guys realise how powerful she is? I'm helping a bunch of idiots. We need an army, people to sleep and people at the ready to find and destroy the original... This clan isn't going to be enough... Doesn't anyone know of any others?" Yume really was helping idiots, if they thought this many would be enough to help... Mitasu manipulated dreams to how she wanted them, only those with enough will power can survive through that, and as powerful as some here are... They weren't powerful enough, not for what they are up against. Tenshi has filled her in, Yume has seen it for herself, and even she needs the help from others to do what they need. "Seriously, you want to win this, you need others..."

It was one thing to beat the nightmares with being basically nocturnal, but even those awake at night needed some sleep. And sleep, no matter what point of the day, was dangerous. Even a crazy Nephalem like Zuura found himself getting really drowsy. But he was always one to trust in others, and Akvan had mentioned before that this Mitasu only attacked the weak currently. So Zuura knew he of all people would be fine sleeping, which the clan leader did. He felt a little bad for sleeping whilst others were all exhausted. But Zuura needed the energy, and he doubted anyone in the clan would get that mad. Right now he was awake, and debating plans of what to do with the others. Since Yume didn't appear to be an option anymore, everyone assumed the only option left was to search every corner of the world until this Mitasu was found. Currently talking to members of the clan, Zuura heard a commotion going on in the main hall, before someone came over to gather the leader and the others. Zuura smiled when he heard the news, skipping on ahead to greet Yume himself. Zuura came in just as Yume claimed they weren't enough. "Hello helloooo!" Zuura began, getting attention towards him, and waving to their new friend. "You must be Yume. Huge fan of your work by the way... some of those pranks were funny, super funny. Wish I could have seen 'em up close. Though I tend to find bloody and messy things more funny, but I'd not recommend doing something like that to my friend, no sir, then I'd be mad... Perhaps to an enemy I don't like." Zuura digressed. He shook himself back into the right thoughts. "And you're right. My clan is really really really really really tough, but this nasty nightmare lady is tougher... hmm... I have lots of friends, but I can't think of many outside of the clan. Well... I know we'll have Angels and Demons to help us, as many as we need probably." Zuura replied. Then he hummed a little, thinking on something. "Also... could be dangerous and scary, but there's a really tough Human group that might help, called the Saints, me thinks. So plenty of people will help out, we just gotta round 'em up like sheep... powerful and tough sheep."

Yume glared over to Zuura as he entered, smirking slightly however as he claimed he liked the pranks, she doubted anyone would, knowing what they were. However, as he mentioned liking bloody and messy things, and she lost the glare, knowing already he will be the rare person she could tolerate, if only because of that. Yume gave a little nod though, she was never one to give out horrible pranks like that, not ones that would hurt others, Gensho the exception the other night, but even that was a total accident. But putting that aide for now, Yume hummed and nodded her head, she knew she would have any Angels and Demons needed, Kakushin said as much when he tried to talk her into helping, but she knew most after certain events wouldn't have the will power for this, the kings and a few strays being the exception. But the Saints sounded promising, Yume had heard of them herself, having given one a dream about what they wished for them in the future, it made Yume laugh when focusing on it. But getting them to join would be a problem, they were against Angels and Demons, and having many here for this, including the kings... Yume wasn't sure if it would end well. But oh well, Yume liked a risk. "The Saints sound promising, I will go and 'ask' them myself after we are done here." More like demand it, because if she has to help, so do they. "Oh and when I do that, you can get message to the bloody kings and those they can call upon for help. Now then, shall we talk about my conditions, and what needs to be done... You will all need to be prepared for it."

Stress was something everyone was pretty familiar with now. From fear, and from sleep deprivation. And inner Clan disputes were threatening to emerge from the stress. Akvan could only break up so many fights in a passive manner. But when the fights calmed down, the clan as usual came together as a family, all looking to help one another. The Sun child had been doing all he could to try and locate Mitasu. He could, in part, sense her magic. But it was so faint, and impossible to trace. Which was more frustrating to Akvan than if he couldn't sense the nightmare magic at all. But it was all about trying, everyone just needed to keep trying to do their part. If Akvan learnt anything, it was to believe in this huge family he'd managed to help Zuura build, and all those who associated themselves to it. Everyone was trying their hardest. And that included most of all Gensho. Seeing his brother come back with a fake smile on wasn't something Akvan ever wanted to see. And it made the Sun child mad that Gensho had been put through such things. What was worse was the fact that for some reason or another, Gensho was avoiding Akvan for some reason. Obviously whatever Yume did to the Demon God, it was something bad that Gensho felt apparently guilt ridden for. Naturally, after all this time, Akvan refused his brother's ignorance, spending as much time of the twenty four hours of no sleep as he could. Gensho was still rather silent, and things weren't getting any better as others grew glum from the loss of Yume's help. Positive attitudes were hard to find. But then, the clan that were in the hall all lit up again. With reason, as it seemed Yume finally gave in and offered her help. Akvan hid his smile, knowing somewhere along the line this woman had damaged something in his chirpy brother's head, something he'd not forgive easily. But such a grudge had no place right now, as Yume put it, any nonsense and she'd be gone for good. Akvan remained quiet as Zuura came along, although gave him a look when he mentioned the Saints. Not a group to accustom the clan with, with many Demons and even some Angels finding a home in the clan. Akvan finally got up as well, "We appreciate the help, and the Saints should, if they have any morality amongst them, help. Though I'd be cautious, they've been waiting for any opportunity to strike down Angel or Demon. If one came to their front door, it might spark something we don't need." Akvan claimed. His warning didn't just stretch to Yume alone, but others. He didn't want anyone else getting confused when the group of Humans helped. Any wrong move, and the Saints might just react in a very bad way. Taking a breath, Akvan nodded his head. "We will do. And I'd say everyone's prepared as they'll ever be, feel free to explain the conditions."

Yume gave a smirk over to Akvan, eyes shining at the though of the Saints reaction. "No need to worry about me when going over there. I know how to deal with such incompetent people. And they will give help, I'll make sure of it." Yume already knew where they were, and she knew it wouldn't be a simple task. But she was up for that challenge, thrived for it even, if only because it meant she had reason to be hot headed. "I'm positive the thought of being able to help take down she who is killing off their kind, will be enough." Taking a breath, Yume looked around those in the room, giving a hard glare to all, showing that they needed to listen, and do exactly as she says. "My conditions are these. While doing what I need to do, there's several things that need to be happening. One, I must have as much silence as possible, two. I trust none of you fuckers in here beside Gensho, I need a room to nearly myself for this, Gensho is the only other allowed in, and he is not to talk, or touch me during that time. Three, for this to work, I need you all to do exactly as asked, no questions, no complaints. I want to be here less then any of you, and any extra conversations that are not needed, will not be happening. I'm here to help, not socialise. Also this, if I find anyone, and I will find out, that has disobeyed these, I will be gone just like that, and wont be back. Me here now is your only chance at me being here at all. I suggest you don't fuck it up." Giving one last look to everyone, letting her gaze rest on Gensho a couple of seconds extra, Yume turned to them all once more. "I suggest you get comfortable, and listen well, saving what I'm about to tell you to memory for the others, as I wont tell you this again. But my help, what's required is complicated, and I will need to explain everything first so your prepared, because whatever you thinks to happen, is probably wrong..." Yume would allow everyone to settle first before beginning, "Oh and this is the one, and I mean one time you can question things... Understood?"

Gensho was just happy that Yume was here to help. He let the others do the talking back right now, watching Akvan step up as well. Gensho assumed his brother probably didn't view Yume as the saviour he might had done before after what she did to Gensho, but Akvan also wasn't the kind of person to have the time to even have a grudge against anyone, so it was clear in his voice that Gensho's brother was being serious and not being spiteful to Yume. That was good, Gensho didn't want to see any kind of conflict going on in this group right now. He settled down to listen to the conditions, surprised by the conditions. So he was the only one Yume trusted, she didn't say that directly, but Gensho could sum it up from what she said. As far as her conditions went, and when in consideration who it was giving out the conditions, Gensho was surprised they weren't harsher. He knew the others were anxious to help, but they all knew better than to argue to the conditions. Gensho nodded his head, smiling a little more when Yume took to him. Everyone else, after a few murmurs here and there, also nodded their heads, settling themselves down by sitting or standing more comfortably. Gensho had his smile back, "We do, Yume. Thank you." Gensho replied, before listening into the plan.

Yume crossed her arms while waiting for everyone to settle down, going over in her head what information she needed to give, that being a lot. But at least she knew these fuckers wouldn't be so stupid as to break any of her rules and conditions, so it might not be as bad as she thinks. Taking a breath, Yume looked to the crowd, and began to explain, voice clear and sharp so there would be no miss-hearings.
"The dream world is a vast and complicated place, it takes much effort and power to even create one, especially as I need to make sure you are all conscious when I take you there. Which means I will need those with the best willpower and strength to go in. People such as the Kings. Because if you don't have the will power, you will not be able to remain awake, and Mitasu will have free reign over what happens. Now then. the way this is to work will be complicated, as I can only create the conditions for you to be in, not control what happens, once I send the participants to sleep, you will awaken together in a strange world, at first, it will be a plain desert, simple and easy to know. If the world changes, Mitasu has fell victim to the call and has adapted it to what she wishes, from what I have gathered, dark rocky lands are her favourite scenes.
You will be left alone to fight her, to find out information, anything you wish to know. It will have to be from her, I cannot do anything to help beside keep you conscious and make sure the dream doesn't collapse with you in it. Any injuries will be on your body here, so if I find you guys are slipping from my grasp, or are too injured to continue, I will pull you out be it you wishes or not, you will not have a choice. Days in the lands will be different, you could spend anywhere from a few hours, to a few days there, all in a single night here, but no worries, I will make sure you don't need to eat or sleep if days change, but make sure you've had plenty of rest before hand. I will watch over that so you guys are prepared. I will condition it so that several different dreams are going on at once, so you have a bigger chance at finding the information out. My bet is that she is creating her conditions from where she is here, so keep an eyes out for anything you recognise, or may be able to find.
Once you have found the information out, I will need you to let me know so I can free the others from the dream, I do not wish to use more power then needed. To do this you have two options, if you have high enough will power, I will be able to hear all you say, so all you will need to do is tell me. If not, a secret of mine is to fire at the ground in large amounts of magic, regardless what it is, it will shake the land and make things unstable, if you do that, everyone is pulled out. Understood? Because this may take more then one night, I will need people to constantly watch over the others, making sure that they aren't too injured, that they are not dying and so forth, once we know Mitasu's location, we will need to move here and then, before she moves. Any Questions?"
Yume gave a breath, looking out to the group, she knew it was a lot to take in, and she may have missed some points out, but she wasn't use to so many people, or having to explain such things, so it was a miracle really, that she said as much as that. |

The reply was satisfactory, enough for Akvan to know Yume would be fine around the Saints. How she's make sure they helped, the Sun child didn't want to think about, but if Yume was deserving of the fear others had of her, then the Saints wouldn't be able to hurt her. That was a task the new group of Humans probably weren't ready for. That being said, not long ago a Human attacked and won against Kakushin. If one Human could be the king of Angels, then what would that mean for one Angel Guardian going to find a whole group of hateful Humans? Still, if anyone had to go get the Saints to help, Yume seemed determined to have it herself to do so. So with that done, the Sun child settled down like the rest to listen to Yume's instructions. Yume was suggesting they create artificial dreams, one controlled so that the dreamer could be conscious in them. It seemed like a complex idea, if Akvan knew magic as well as he thought he did. And as Yume put it, only those with a willpower that was easy to put into dreams would apply for the job. Which Akvan knew counted him out of it, but the man didn't show that on his face. If anyone should go into a dream, it certainly wasn't someone with a loose control of their powers, and who could at any point go mad and try to kill everyone and everything.
Akvan sighed quietly, he'd just have to be one on duty then, looking over the ones in the dream world and get ready to move onto attacking Mitasu. So perhaps it was best for the strong magic user to remain here, since he'd go well against Mitasu in the real world. Everyone seemed to understand the rules of Yume's plan, some even looked excited about it all. Akvan smiled slightly, but he along with everyone else understood the danger of this all as well. They were fighting a mass murderer, and one with a lot of practise under her belt at this sort of thing. In her realm of dreams, who knew what might happen. As others nodded, Akvan cleared his throat and rose a question. "It all sounds good to me. But those on the outside, the ones still awake. Can we... help those sleeping at all? Like use magic to heal their wounds?" Akvan asked. He knew magic well, but the hidden talents of Yume's Dream magic wasn't something the Sun child had researched before, so he was new on the subject until he got to see it in use.

Yume looked over to Akvan, annoyed that there was actually a question, but she had to admit it was a good point, and something she missed off. Breathing out, Yume clicked the top of her tongue before nodding slightly. "It would be possible yes, but it may be weakened magic on your behalf, as its not just healing or helping those on this side, but the dream as well. If your to help, understand that help is for both the body and the mind." Yume didn't know how else to explain it really, as it was a complex matter regardless, but she didn't see why it wasn't possible, just the fact it had to travel to their mind as well as heal the body, so effects would either be weaker, or in half for each. Taking another breath, Yume looked around the room, gaze setting on certain individuals that would be a little more difficult. "Now then, one other issue. I sense different beings in the room... Akvan... The Kuban's... I can have you enter the dream world, I can help control any powers you may wish to hide. However that will come at a price, Akvan, you power level is off the chart, if you go in, at least five others will be unable to go, it will be too much for me to handle otherwise. As for the Kuban's, only one other will be able to enter the dream world with you, if I'm to control things, so I suggest you find someone you can trust with your life." It was all very complex, and the details was far more then that, but it was the simplest way of putting things, and she hoped they understood. "Any other questions? If not, I suggest working out and telling me who's to enter, so that they can get sleep... I will need a list of the teams. Maximum of four, and up to five different worlds I can handle, keeping in mind everything else I have said. Oh and the less you can have, the more stable a world."
