Vision of Desire ❀ 002

[mirroredmirage]

Warnings: I'm actually being nice to Atoli?

When the feed cut on, a girl is seen, but it's not Atoli. Or, really, it's her, just outside of The World. It's Chigusa, her real self over her player character.

The girl is in her school uniform, walking down a pathway towards a school. She's alone at first, but as she walks, other girls call her name, rushing to join her. They come and go, asking things like how her weekend was, if she had any plans later, if she'd sit with them for lunch. She chats with each happily, enjoying every moment of it. By the time she actually makes it to the school, she's smiling from ear to ear, clearly happy to have so many friends.

Then it changed. It's still Chigusa, but this time, she's in a modern style Japanese home. A man and a woman stand in front of her, clearly her parents by the way they favor her.

"Chigusa, we're so proud of you." The man states, beaming proudly at his daughter.

"Yes, yes we are. We love you so much." The woman embraces Chigusa as she speaks, getting a tight hug in return.

And yet again, it changed. Now, Atoli was walking through Dol Dona. Before she got far from the chaos gate, her name is called, and she turns to see Haseo, as well as Alkaid, Silabus, Gaspard, Kuhn, and Pi all behind him.

Haseo smiles, reaching out his hand towards her. "C'mon, Atoli. We need you. I need you."

And then it cut away--

[--to the Atoli here in Somarium. She just stared at the Dreamberry in awe, her eyes brimming with tears. Though unaware it had been broadcast to everyone, she turned the Dreamberry off, ending the feed with it.]

..Atoli?

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[Atoli blinks in surprise when she notices the message from Haseo, still blissfully unaware the card played her vision of desire to everyone.

It's clear she's still a bit shaken, but not out of fear. More than anything, it made her wish that was the truth, that that was how her life back home was.

But for Haseo, she tries her to best to be her normal self, smiling softly to the male.]

Yes, Haseo?

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

..You--okay?

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[She's having an inner spazz moment for just a second.

Could Haseo really tell that easily!? --Yeah, she still has no idea he saw that.]

...Y-Yes, of course.

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

. . Idiot. You don't look like it. So ..that was your first dream, huh?

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[lajsdlajsdkaj!]

....Y-You...you saw that? [Ohmygosh, that was really embarrassing. D:]

It...wasn't a dream, though... [And now she's even more confused.]

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

It probably felt like it was real, huh? But it was just a dream.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

N-No, it wasn't, though! [She knows what she's talking about, Haseo. At least....this time.]

I-It was this card I found. I swiped it, and-- and it played this...

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

. . .A card? You should be careful with those, Atoli. They..can do--really weird things.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

O-Oh! Really? [Well...she did just find that out first hand.]

I..I found it next to my Dreamberry, though. And...I couldn't really help myself...

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

. . Well it looks like you had uh..a good card, I guess.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

I...guess so. [It wasn't all that good in her mind. If anything, it was just rubbing it in her face what she didn't have back home.]

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

It's not like all of it isn't true.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

...H-Huh? [Okay, that flustered her. She knew for a fact the first two parts weren't true. She wasn't treated like that at school or at home. Which meant he was talking about---!]

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

Look, Atoli. That wasn't a dream. I have said that to you before, okay? I--..just didn't think I had to tell you it all the time.



Damn it, this wouldn't be so complicated if you knew everything...!

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

Y-You-- [She trailed, his last words making her glance away, flustered and upset.]

I-I'm sorry, Haseo... [Clearly she was missing something important here, because he seemed frustrated when he brought up what she didn't know.]

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

..Don't apologize, Atoli. But---I'm--


I'm different from back then.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

....Different? You mean....because of what happened? [Because of what she didn't know. She knew he was different. She could tell, just from the way he acted. He had changed, but she didn't fully understand in what ways. Not yet.]

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

. . Yeah. A lot has happened, it's hard to believe sometimes.

But I did change. And so did you.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[She pauses, her gaze lowering a bit.] It must be really frustrating, me being like this... [She's slightly referring to her arm, but also to how she acted. If she changed...well, then she must be annoying all over again to him.]

[ofredemption.livejournal.com]

It's not like that. It's not like you're a different person. .

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, then?

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

[How sweet...]

Atoli?

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[Still doesn't know anyone saww~ And she's still looking a bit down, wishing that could be the truth.]

Yes, Silabus?

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

Are you dreaming of home already?

[he just. doesn't know.]

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

...Huh? W-What do you mean? [...ohmygosh, she's not freaking out, nooo.]

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

I was told that these things show dreams, right?

[Or had he completely missed something?]

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[Ohh, right. She's following you now, Silabus.]

...W-Well, yes. But...that wasn't a dream....

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

[...What?]

It wasn't? Then what was it?

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[She's just as confused as you.]

I'm...I'm not sure. It was a card I found next to my Dreamberry...

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

Well that's weird. I have them next to my Dreamberry too, but I haven't used them yet.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

Oh, y-you do? [Pausing to ponder...] I wonder what yours would show.....

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

Hm...I don't know. Maybe I should try them sometime soon and see.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

[She wasn't sure if there was a set pattern to what the cards showed, but she knew this was one she desired so much. But the other, the actual memory...]

If you do....be careful, okay? [She didn't want him to be hurt by what he saw.]

that's okay lj, I didn't want a notif for this anyway.

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

I will be. You don't have to worry about me, Atoli.

fail notifs.

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

I-I know, but-- [She couldn't help but worry about her friends, okay? Especially in a weird place such as this.]

ikr

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

Really, don't worry about it!

ohyeah

[idkmybffsakaki.livejournal.com]

You know I will anyways.

[helpsnoobs.livejournal.com]

Well just know you don't have to.
