Dream 1

[The air is a bit nostalgic but the entire room is black. Fei is sitting in a chair, leaning back as if reflecting on something. A sweet melody is playing faintly, although the source of the music is not to be found. It's a quiet place, reflective, but it feels like there's a lot missing, memories that will not return.]

Dream 2

BMG: Knight of Fire

[The scene here is a town burning, with soldiers marching in. The air is thick with gunpowder and the sound of shelling and mortar can be heard. Fei is in the center, fighting waves upon waves of soldiers. A voice in the distance is screaming at him to stop, yelling that he must not fight here but he keeps going anyway.]

Dream 3, locked to Elly

[Fei is sitting on a chair behind an easel, painting a portrait. The subject of his painting, Elly, is sitting in a chair posing.]

Don't move so much, it's hard to get it right.

[His tone is one of gentle chiding]

[He squeezes her hand]

So am I.

[The dreamscape starts to blur and fade. Time to wake up!]

[It was so weird, this familiarity felt so natural that she moved without thinking, leaning in toward Fei as the world faded away.

She didn't open her eyes at first, sitting in a haze of not quite awake, but not fully asleep. She was warm, comfortable, and didn't want to move yet.]

[And so they will remain for awhile, until there is a massive thud on the bed, followed by a rough, extremely wet tongue running the length of Elly's face. She will awaken to see a very happy Stoutland standing over her, tail and tongue wagging]

[Warm, comfortable, the smell of something nice. She didn't want to move.

And then dog.

Jolting awake when the Stoutland started licking, Elly screamed out in surprise. It hadn't quite registered that she was somewhere else, her sleep-addled mind still trying to figure out what just happened.]

Augh!

[The scream surprises Fei, who falls out of bed with a loud thud. Stoutland ignores this entirely in favor of sitting up on the bed, tongue out and looking at Elly, waiting for food.

Clearly he knows a sucker when he sees one.]

[Stoutland, shouting, tongue, weird room, weird bed, what in the world is going on? Elly quickly throws the sheet off with very little disregard for the canine (sorry) and looks over the side of the bed.]

...Fei?!

[What. But. What? No, but. What? WHERE WAS SHE?]

[Stoutland lets out a low "woof" and starts nudging Elly with its nose. It wants food!]

Elly!? How did you get here!?

[Food can wait, there are more pressing things. Like shouting and being red in the face.]

I don't know! I don't know! I just woke up here! What are you doing here?!

Edited 2014-10-28 05:11 (UTC)

I live here!

...

Oh.

Then how did I get here?!

[And why was she in his bed? Wait, that feeling earlier, was she in his arms? Oh great golems, don't even think about that right now, Elly don't you dare think about that right now.

Except now her face and ears are turning red, and she can't stop thinking about it. Great. Wonderful. This is awesome.]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[Don't think about it don't think about it don't think about it don't even mention it, Elly!]

Why were you--

[Stop]

Holding onto me like that?

[DO YOU REALLY WANT TO ASK THAT QUESTION RIGHT NOW ELLY?]

I don't know! Why were you snuggled up to me like that!?

I--that was not my fault! I was asleep!

So was I!

I still put it to you that it was your fault. You were holding on to me!

[Fei is about to respond but Stoutland tackles him in the legs and he goes down]

Ow damn it OK I will feed you. Sorry, give me a second.

[He gets up and starts moving toward the pantry, Stoutland trailing behind him.]

[Elly sits on the side of the bed, fidgeting with her braid a bit. She does take the chance to look around a little at least, when not dying of complete embarrassment.]

[There's the sound of heavy munching, followed by scrambling as Stoutland comes running back into the room and launches himself onto Elly's lap. He's... a bit heavy.]

Well, at least he likes you.

[Holy 60 pounds of dog. Elly groans and winces as he jumps up, doubling over onto it.]

That's... good?

[She sits up a bit, trying to readjust under the weight and absently petting him.]

That still doesn't answer how I got here.

[Stoutland wags his tail and rolls over in Elly's lap, presenting his belly]

I'd heard things are a bit weird right now, maybe that has something to do with it?

[You're really heavy but you're really cute. TAT

Okay fine, two pets, but then she really wants you to move. She's losing circulation.]

Displacing people? Maybe. Still, the dream you were having felt entirely too real.

Possibly. It didn't feel like a dream so much as a...

A memory?

[Stoutland starts rolling around and then promptly falls off Elly's legs and lands on the ground with a thud. It doesn't seem to be hurt at all and is still presenting its belly for rubs]

[A memory, yes, that was exactly it. But...]

There's no way that's possible. We just met a few months ago.

[Dog the adults are having an important conversation. More important than belly rubs. Although she does have a free foot, if that will do for tummy scratches.]

[Oh yes this is acceptable excellent work human. Stoutland will roll around like a doofus]

I know. It's strange, really, but it felt very... familiar.
