(Broken Cycle) Nightmare Chain

[Saber Sloth]

Continued from (Broken Cycle) Dream Team...

To Keep Combat going smoothly and not to have any hold up with Yamiyo Lillich LadySin being outside of the Clearing Dream, here's a splinter Thread for her! Dream Intensity is 3, this is also a direct continuation. WP does not refresh.

Around her, she sees, she hears the price of her methods, forcing the Gate open, forcing the ocean to heed her call! Forcing the Gate to manifest, in a swirling vortex, a whirlpool to carry her into the next Dream upon the Chain,

This poor Dreamer's now stuck in the horror of a new nightmare.

Before there is time to contemplate the Romancer is taken away! On and on and on the Skein pulls her, pulling her as she falls - soars! Soon she's set gently down upon an ink dark floor.

In the distance, a house. Smoke billows.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Falling as she so often did in her own dreams, a sensation filled with both joy and fear alike still it was nothing new to her at least in her dreams she often flied but there she at least had more control. Closing her eyes waiting to see where she would end up until finally feeling a stop.

Watching around trying to look for her friends hoping that this time she would have come to them but fate did not seem so kind, screaming out in frustration.
"F***."

Starting her movements towards the house to see where she had come as she reaches out to the dream trying to weaken it and feel how much it would resist her.

Seems like this one was not as strong as the previous ones at least now that was a good start.

[Saber Sloth]

The Dream weakens around her, the soft gauzy edges soften further.

Dream Intensity is now 2

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Making her way over towards the house, still staying as a background being of the dream not wanting to disturb more than she would need to.
Just randomly walking around between dreams did not seem to earn her much though as such it might be good to start to analyze and work, this whole expedition were about dream poisoning right so if she could see if there was any here, any trace or something to go off so could that perhaps be of help or be used to guide her along or at least maybe give her something to tell of when they all woke up again.

The smoke continues to billow, rising and spreading. The door to the house is open. Smoke licks and curls around the edges, paint is peeling and cracking. Yamiyo can feel the heat from and unseen fire.

Her search draws her closer to the house and the smoke, but she does pick up an echo of an echo. There had been a miasma of poison once, and now the trail was faint, but it was here.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

The heat wasn't a nice touch the summer heat was enough in the real world to handle she did not need it here as well. Bracing herself before trying to find the dreamer, to observe a face and to lightly begin to slightly alter the dream to get a glimpse of it, analyzing it and trying to see who the dreamer looks to be.

She knew that she would have to follow the trail next, to see where the next stop would be but still having some information of the ways she walked might be a good thing but sadly she did not really now much about this whole dream thing to begin with so her capacity was limited.

[Saber Sloth]

Yamiyo tests the dream, and discovers that it is a Recurring Nightmare.

From within the house, she can hear a voice, young and terrified scream

"DADDY!"

Then, from the distance, an answering call.

"KIMMY!"

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Hmm a recurring nightmare stuck inside what seemed to be a child true the dream self did not need to represent the truth and the echo of the dream poison here were just faint.
Still she did not really see what more she could do here but to note it down to see if a continued journey would reveal something else and still her goal was to get back to her allies.

Closing her eyes, a silent tear dripping down her cheek as she whispers more to herself than to anyone else.
"Forgive me."

Shaping the door into the house to be her new gateway, to pass on and to either see if she can learn more where the dream would take her next or if she could finally be reunited with her allies one thing being clear to her at this point in time she would seriously need to train her dream walking skills and make sure to ask what information would be the best to collect if she gets separated again.

Again, the Succubus forces a Gate. Again, the Succubus is the cause the Nightmare to warp and twist. The house around her shatters, splintering apart as the young voice counties to call out for their father on and on and on until the voice is cut off and the Gate steals Yamiyo away.

Again in the dark, the dank. She smells damp, wet, earth. It invades everything. All she can see. Smell and even taste.

In the distance, but all to close for comfort she hears screaming, incoherent, intermingled by whimpering. A pleading voice, begging someone to stop.

Then a rhythmic thunk of a shovel.

Dream Intensity is 4

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Again another nightmare was upon her, she was so sick of seeing all these nightmares and knowing that she could not help, that she most likely only did things worse and the sights and fears of those in them being far more than she liked.
Reaching out her hand to test the dream, to weaken it but evidently this dream were stronger than the last.

Sighing as she begins to wonder if there is any point in her work anymore, so far all it seemed to do was to fill her with sadness and guilt.

Starting her movements towards the area where the screams are coming from maybe she can learn something there and if there was poison around so would it most likely be the easiest to witness it there all the whilst looking for a natural gate of the dreams.
