8th [ Action/Dreams ]
[ Dream 1 ]
[ This dream takes place in a dark, undefinable area without any real landmarks to say where it could be or what it even is. There's a single light source from above, but it barely illuminates the room. It really only serves to make the two figures in the room barely visible. One of them is Melaka Fray - but she's younger looking. She looks like she's between fourteen and fifteen, as opposed to the nearly twenty she is in the real world (she also shows no signs of her first evolution, though she does sport the scar on her lip). But the other figure is Harth Fray, who is also visibly the same age as Melaka.
... Well, mostly.
Melaka is stuck there, as if wanting to both run from and reach out to Harth at the same time, but the closer she gets, the more the scar on her lip turns into an open wound, bleeding freely as she nears Harth. Similarly, while she's aware from him his only signs of injury are the fact his glasses are shattered on one side, but the closer she gets, the more he is clearly not quite alive. The more half of his face, and then half of his skull are missing, as if bitten off. The more he has lacerations on his body, or his spin bends in such a way it looks wrong. But she's still attempting to get close to him, not the least of which reason because he, no matter how injured he gets, is talking to her in what's barely above a whisper, and she just can't hear him.
What do, Dream Team? ]
[ Dream 2 ]
[ And in this second dream, Melaka is her same age and appearance as she is in reality... but the situation is one that she lived out in the past. She's on a bed, immobile, with numerous bits of technology and other methods used at the Union hospital hooked up to her - procedures that they used four or five years ago for anyone deeply familiar with them and if they've changed. She's also completely immobile due to a spinal injury, though her eyes look around the room, trapped in her own body.
And at the foot of her bed is Erin Fray. A woman that some might know as being a low ranking officer in the Swords today. But right now, she's standing over Melaka's bed, giving her a hard glare. And in a dream, things are never quite fair, and so the vision of Erin is saying things Melaka might feel are true, or might believe that Erin feels: ]
You got him killed, Mel. Why have you always been so reckless?
[ What do, Dream Team? ]
[Action]
[ Mel's division of the Ranger is on "standby" ... whatever that means. Really, she's thankful for it after her first foray into the Dream World because, ironically enough, it was exhausting. When she's in reality, she's trying to see who else is there whilst she's there and awake, as well as to make sure Union isn't burning or anything. But she's also tired and a little bit jumpy - as if the fog and the impending Soulfasting is making her closer to the dead. And she doesn't like that. At all.
Maybe she should figure out some offerings while she's here... or check out the Old City to see if she can, once more, fail to find his body. (no one ever did, after all) ]
[ OOC: Melaka's in an out of the Dream World this week. I've supplied two dreams here for people to step in on when she's asleep in the real world, and a physical run in for her in the Real World. I've also got her on the Dream World meet up thing here, and if you'd like to figure out anything else, PM me or something! I know both dreams are a bit self-indulgent (I wanted to finally play with her past), but if you want they can mutate into more action-y or comical ones depending on how things play out ]

[She might not be an expert on grief but she does know that leaving Melaka alone right now seems like a terrible idea right about now.]
no subject
[ But despite herself she takes a step closer to to Harth, as if willing that words he is speaking to be heard ]
no subject
[Maybe that would symbolically help Melaka with moving on from this bad memory. Psychology isn't Pamela's field.]

She rolls up her sleeve and grabs a shovel.]
Let's get to work.

Don't need to tell me twice.

I'm sorry for your loss.
