[It had been a few months since he'd last been seen, and with good reason. He'd listened to Riku--he's only been eating the things from the vending machine. But he's realized a distinct problem with that. While they taste good, for sure, they provide nothing for a Nightmare. They're all designed with Spirits in mind, and thus they're made out of bad dreams. Which is, essentially, junk food for a Nightmare. So someone has been starving for a few months, but fear of retaliation has kept him hiding--especially as he's weakened. So he's left with one choice, really: hunt down someone willing to have a bad dream so that he can eat. If he spreads it among a few people, he can get away with it, he thinks. Even Riku can't object to that.

Right now? He's sneaking along the hallways, trying to avoid the Spirits. He's pretty much a prime meal right now.]

[cinderlea]

[Well, there are two ladies in the pool room right now, and they appear to be snoozing on their pool chairs for all the world to see. Worth a shot, right?]

[antiblackcoat]

[...Riku. She's sleeping. He could wake her--berate her about all this and how it's her fault for setting the rules the way she did. But instead, he'll examine them both, leaning over Riku, then Lea.

One of them has to be having sweet dreams.]

[dawnrise]

[Both of them are dreaming. Riku about the dressing room, and about spells. It's not exactly fun, it's more on the weird side, but it isn't a nightmare. Lea dreams about climbing mountains, and when she was younger, before all that business with losing her heart.

If either of them had woken up to find him leaning over them he might have gotten slapped, given that they're both in swimsuits, with only t-shirts to cover them.]

[antiblackcoat]

[He has a choice. Hm. Lea's is definitely more pleasant, but... Hey. He could also talk to Riku in her dreams, right?

...Fine.

He's going to turn into a strange black and red substance and leak into her dreams and once there? Try to seek her out. She set the rules, and he'd rather talk to her before getting in trouble. That'll get him points, right?]

[dawnrise]

[Oh, sure. Points. Have fun being caught in the middle of a DR spell, dude. Riku's currently in the body of a cat, racing to stop someone else from being caught by the same spell.]

[antiblackcoat]

[At least he'll be able to tell you it's a dream?]

Riku.

[He's not gonna try to grab her scruff yet.]

[summer_poprocks]

[He'll likely pass the room this Roxas is in then. It's park-like and warm, enough that he'd shed his jacket at the door. Instead of being a simple outdoor room with the sounds of birds and trees rustling, there's also soft classical music that may as well be coming from the air itself. Roxas is sprawled out under a tree not far from the door, eyes closed.]

[antiblackcoat]

[...How interesting. He's going to approach and squat next to him.]

...You okay?

[summer_poprocks]

[Roxas stretches a bit, though he freezes when he opens his eyes and sees someone in a black coat hovering so close.]

It's just.. nice in here. I was about to fall asleep.

[antiblackcoat]

If you do, mind if I eat some of your dreams?

[Social skills. He has none.]

[summer_poprocks]

You- what?

[His hand is slowly moving toward his pocket, where his phone is. He has Riku on speed-dial, but this guy is so close that Roxas doesn't want to do anything to make him get angry.]

[antiblackcoat]

[ABC is gonna pull his hood back now.]

I'm a Dream Eater. I eat dreams. It doesn't actually hurt you, besides gives you a few bad dreams.

[lightyin]

[The door to this room is wide open, and there's a Riku fast asleep on a couch just inside the room, one arm and one leg hanging off the couch. There's also an older Riku there as well, but he's awake and sitting nearby. Approach?]

[antiblackcoat]

[WELL THIS IS SURE HIS WORST NIGHTMARE COME TO LIFE. Still, he'll poke his head in. The smell of sweet dreams is too tantalizing to pass by.]

Um... Hi.

[shadedlight]

[If it makes him feel any better, the older Riku hasn't very much experience with Dream Eaters aside from knowing they exist and is also more laid-back than his younger self. He looks up at the newcomer, slightly puzzled.]

Hi. Need something?

[antiblackcoat]

...He's asleep. And he's dreaming.

[...He's expecting this Riku to know what he means.]

[shadedlight]

He is. Hope you didn't need him awake, because he'll be out for a while.

[On purpose, but for reasons entirely unrelated to ABC.]

[antiblackcoat]

...I eat dreams.

[Eating a Riku's dreams is tempting like you wouldn't believe.]

[caged_memory]

[He may be a prime target for a Meow Wow, but what about a Sora? There's one careening down the hall on skates, barely managing not to slam himself into a wall. He's headed straight for ABC.]

W- aaaaah!

[antiblackcoat]

[Good thing he still has quick reflexes. He's going to dodgeroll out of the way and then watch because WTF!?]

[caged_memory]

[Sora misses him, but doesn't miss the wall this time when the hall hits a bend. His yelling comes to an abrupt stop as he bounces off the wall bodily, crumpling into a heap on the floor.]

[antiblackcoat]

[ABC will lean over him. Sora. He must have beautiful dreams.]

...You okay?

[caged_memory]

Nnn... That hurt.

[He's definitely going to have a few bruises, but overall he'll be fine. Sora's busy pulling himself up to assess the damage, but when he looks up and sees red eyes, glowing out of the darkness of a hood, he can't help the alarmed yell.]

Gyah!

[antiblackcoat]

...I guess you are.

[Pulling you up by the arm, doot doot.]

been wanting to do this

[windup_boytoy]

[In this room is Ri, who is yawning so loudly that he practically unhinged his jaw. He's occupied with folding laundry, but it's all nice smelling and warm from the dryer, and it's making him sleepy. Perhaps naptime is in order.]
