Greens do it in your dreams. [OPEN TO ALL FLIGHTS]

[theshadowkissed]

Who: Rose and YOU!
What: Accidental Dreamwalking. (prose or action)
Where: IN YOUR DREAMS! Though Rose is physically in the Emerald Sanctum, hanging out near the hollowed out tree she's claimed as her own if a flightmate wants to bother her. Or Sleeping Beauty Ysera wants to reprimand her.
When: Throughout the first half of April very, very late at night.
Warnings: will update if the dreams get too weird.

Rose still hadn't adjusted herself to non-moroi timetables. To her, midnight was still mid-day thanks to the nocturnal lifestyle she'd lived practically most of her life. She was slowly working on transitioning, but it still had her awake at what most people thought were weird. Or they might if they didn't sleep for days on end like the green dragons.

It left Rose with a lot of free time in the Sanctum. She didn't like sitting about, but it was still marginally better than the jail cell she'd been in not too long before the demons had invaded her world. She wanted to get out there and destroy the demons so she could get back home. She really missed Lissa.

Getting out of the habit of slipping into her best friend's mind to comfort herself while separated from Lissa was hard to break. It wasn't as if she could go 'check up' on the Moroi princess anymore, but the act of relaxing and opening her mind up to the possibility was something that Rose automatically did when she was bored. Unfortunately, as a Dragonsworn of the Green Flight, that meant she accidentally found herself 'checking up' on people she had no bond with at all.

Ugh, Ysera had even told her about this eventually happening. Now, if only she knew who's dream she ended up in...

oh my god I'm almost sorry

This is not a dream anyone wants to be in, even the dreamer himself is barely aware of it, hidden beneath the layers and layers of drumming--a four beat sound that in his mind takes on an almost physical presence. It should be a shield, it should be enough to keep anyone out of his head, but sometimes it just isn't enough, so when Rose accidentally stumbles in, that horrible noise abruptly goes silent. It waits, pulled back like a viper, and the Master's eyes snap open to stare at the intruder with terror and anger and anticipation.

"You really shouldn't be here," he tells her in warning from where he's crouched amongst ash. Whether or not the warning is because of what he will do, or what his dream can do, is unclear.

The sky above was black and without stars, the air frigid. The whole of creation falling apart. Distant echoing of screams fall into childlike, maniacal laughter.

"Turn back now," he continues, voice hard. Then he laughs, another added to the chorus in the distance. "If you can."

This time, Rose was more prepared for the bizarreness of being in other people's dreams, but the feeling that surrounded her in this one was enough to scare her. She quickly compartmentalized the fear before it showed or affected her decision making and made it a point to sweep the area with her gaze before settling on the man.

She'd never seen him before, but he definitely set off her crazy meter. As did the insane laughter and the way her breath frosted in the air before her. But, she was never one to back down unless she knew it was something she had to do.

"If only it was as easy as that," she replied in an annoyed tone. Actually, it was fairly easy to leave the dreams once she decided she wanted to, but it wasn't as if she was going to let anyone know that.

"Oh, of course, if only. Silly me," he says airily, and rocks himself forward to spring up to his feet. He stalks towards her, hands and teeth clenched. "I'll have you know that this is my mind and I never invite people in."

Which means he fully intends to "escort" her right back out, except there is a howl of gusting air, and a jagged tear opens through the sky, revealing space and time and pretty much bad memories galore for the Master. He jerks in his approach to her, staring up the sky with a tinge of fear. He then eyes her dully. "You know how they say there's always a safe place in dreams?" He doesn't actually know if anyone says that, but he smirks all the same. "Not here."

He bolts. If she has any sense of self preservation, she'll follow him.

Rose stayed relaxed when he approached her, though she was ready to beat him down if he was stupid enough to try to touch her. But the question whether she could would remain unanswered with the way the sky just ripped apart like that, giving Rose a glimpse of things she had no real way of comprehending. She, too, had looked up, only looking back when he spoke to her again.

She's not stupid enough to stay, so she runs after him, easily catching up. "There is if you make one," she retorted.

[beholdthedrums]

No, but for that you had to have a place of safety to begin with. The Master didn't, end of story.

He just scowls at her, because seriously, she shouldn't even be here. He should just throw her to the metaphoric wolves of his mind and be done with it.

The drums lash up in his defense as the scene changes around him. They're in the corridors of a ship, and now--now the Master doesn't give a damn who is with him, he'll make an effort to grab for her and try to tug her against a wall, quietly hissing, "Shh--shhh!" and jerking his finger in a silencing gesture. They can't be caught. He can't allow her to reveal them.
