(Broken Cycle) Dream Team

[Saber Sloth]

Between Here and There, the Door and the pathways, it's a breathless instant, a scattering of flashes of colour, a kaleidoscope of impossible dreams, mayhaps it's the Wyrd, or the Skein itself that weaves the Dreams together, but the Dream Lord who knows where to go and the Winter Darkling with more empathy then sense meet with a gradual shifting, between one step and the next.

Rhodes knows this dream to be the last dream, the hospital dream. Only, the beds are empty. The bandages cut from the three forms he remembers, laying upon the white-white-white beds, stained brilliant, brilliant r e d .



The Succubus' Dream fades and morphs into a black, vast expanse despite the change, she knows she hasn't left the boundary of her own Dreamscape.

Yami needs to roll another Wits+Empathy+Wyrd-3 to find the hospital dream

[James Turner]

It wasn't easy to get to the last dream, it was a flood of emotion all across the spectrum. It was hard not to get lost in it, to find one that resonated with you and just stay there. But this wasn't about him, it wasn't even about the Freehold. It was about doing what needed to be done because it needed to be done.


He wasn't looking forward to this at all but he steeled himself for what was to come. One more door and he found himself in this hospital, this nightmare reflection of healing turned to harm. He wanted to scour it, to tear it down from its bases so the dreamer would no longer suffer but it might be their only chance to give the others an opening they could exploit.


He'd need to manifest to fight the hard part was timing it just right. If they had one more step he'd need to manifest and hold out as long as he could to give the other side as much time as they could. He just prayed it wasn't fruitless.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Damn why had they chosen her for this mission she was not good with walking through dreams or anything like that at all. Getting annoyed of the endless void she had caught herself within, shouting as her hair changes to match all the colors of the rainbow as she pulls on the darkness, taking in the demonic essence mankind had bestowed upon the succubi as as she tears a hole or perhaps a rift in the empty void to step through to find her way to where they were supposed to meet up, to where she could do her best to be of aid at least. Taking a deep breath as she closes her eyes to walk through it hoping that she would get to where she needed to be.

[Rhodes]

Rhodes stares at the beds and sighs, willing himself into existence. Whether the others were here or not, it made no odds. He would do it alone if he had to.

Fear was griping his chest, the thrill of terror. Riding the wave between adrenaline and the Abyss. The face of fear he thought of as the Dominatrix, the masochist. Those that sought out fear just to feel the rush of surviving and being alive. Those that put their very lives in danger to face death.

The Leaden Mirror was not just about the Fear in others. It was understanding and embracing the Fears in onself. And he knew he feared losing someone more than he feared the Huntsman.

The Flowering stretched out his arms and presed his own Wyrd agains the dream. his black suit warped and twisted, growing plates of armour in brown and gold shaped like sycamore leaves. An elaborate helm grew around his head, flaring leaves like horns.

His face a grim smirk, the Dread Lord began reaching out int he dream, looking for the traces of the Fae they sought to bait.

Rhodes Activates contract of Dream 3 for Armour in the Dream

[Saber Sloth]

The empty bloody beds, white and industrial, the tubes and IV lines lay upon the standard issue pillows. The locked wheels, feel dull upon the ground, which is still comprised of marigolds, acorns, thornless roses, and petunias. Jonquil, larkspur and every single lily.

Rhodes in his Fear, knows this is not just a mark, sign, but a cape. He remembers the impossibly giant Huntsman, and what he cloaked himself in. Perhaps it is that, or perhaps it is just prudence that has the Dread Lord to call on the Wyrd to armour him.

The Winter settles into the Dream, forcing himself forward. Becoming a part of it, instead of apart from it.

With a decisiveness, of purpose, Yamiyo forces herself into the Hospital Dream too. She sees Rhodes and James.

The Dream itself doesn't seem to change in reaction to the Lost's appearance.

I'm assuming you're Manifesting @James Turning Which doesn't require a roll. But when you roll please, please, please say what your roll is for in the roll's action box as well as what the roll is comprised of

I also need a Glamour spend for Rhodes' Contract and please keep a note on is extra WP in his posts going forward!

[James Turner]

James flickered and faded before stepping into view. Unlike last time he was older, grizzled, weathered and walked off the set of Mad Max, the defining feature from both instances was how starkly human he had chosen to appear as or at least how perhaps he saw himself.

He took a few steps up to Rhodes and looked around not seeing Yami, his brow furrowed in confusion. Perhaps she’d just chosen not to manifest yet, but if they were going to fight he had to be here like this. If it wasn’t for that he’d have stayed the invisible observer he was used to being.

“I don’t have any fancy tricks up my sleeve but I’ll do my best, others are counting on it right? I’ll ask the where are we and what is this questions later. What’s the next step?”

Sorry, mis-read the ST Text. My fault.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Manifesting inside the dream, taking a deep breath of relief as she shakes her head a bit. Speaking in a low whisper, she was not used to be in others dreams and did not know how much her presence or sound would be noticed still she did not wanna take any gambles.
"Puhh made it, I hope you haven't been waiting long. Sorry I am not really that skilled at this whole dream things." Her eyes going over to Rhodes "I think it is clear to say that you will be the lead here and sadly I think the both of us will just primarily be half aid it seems, still direct me as you see fit venerable master." Not wanting to use neither his name nor title in here knowing full well that the strangest of things could give the grandest of unexpected boons and as such it was better to be silent on anything that could potentially be a threat.

Waiting for Rhodes instructions, to see what he would say and to follow him he was the one who knew what needed to be done the best. Securing her pigtails a bit, not really needing it but still playing with her hair did tend to help make her keep her calm.

[Rhodes]

The Dread Lord glances across to see the winter and spring emerge. "Well, that is not a hard question to answer. This is the dream where Seraphina and I found the source of the Dream-poison... and the Huntsman. The flowers that adorn the operating tables are his symbols.... and the people we saw here seem to be gone. And we have not been here long, Miss Lillich. remeber time in dreams, like in Arcadia itself, is subjective."

Rhodes snaps his fingers and the leaden-coloursed schulpted staff from before emerges in his grasp, accompanied by an etherial moan from his mantle. "First, we look for the door through which the Gentry left. There is something that ties him to this dream, be it a thrall, one of his hounds... whatever. Then, we change the dream drastically and with sufficient impact that the dreamer takes notice, luring his attention here. And then, we keep his focus on us." He looks between them. "Remember, if you are uncertain of your ability to distract, you can always coordinate your attacks. Work together. Odds are he will recognise me and, if my research is correct, focus me, as the hunt that escaped twice before. And most important of all, he can and will eject you from the dream, and you will awaken back in your body. If you feel yourslf becoming trapped in any way, we can always wake up."

"Lastly, if you are afraid, that only shows you are still sane and have your faculties. I cannot remove your fears.... and if I could, it is unlikely I would do so. Any questions?"

I love contracts of Dreams..... Rhodes activates the weapon as well. Included the glamour form the previous post as well
