(Broken Cycle) Nightmare Chain

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Smiling for herself as light is finally here, next what was needed were to inspect what was causing the noise more precisely and get some details to see if she could be of help in this situation.

However perhaps it would be for the best to let see if she could give the victim a chance to fight back against the nightmare, the next change she would attempt here could perhaps be a harsh one but one that would be needed.
Trying to remove the dirt or whatever were on the casket the person is being buried in and throw it open to make them face the nightmare, letting the reaction be what would shape her next move.

Will do, honestly she is just going by the little experience that she has at the moment and is trying things out hoping to make a difference.

[Saber Sloth]

The Nightmare fights, but finally it's watercolour consistency allows for Yamiyo to alter the dreamscape. With effort she shoves what dirt covers the casket, surprisingly even as the shovel continued to pack dirt on top of the amount of dirt never seemed to change. It was only enough to cover the coffin with the promise of more.

Next the force of her Desires forces the coffin open.

The screams are louder, and the shoveler doesn't cease.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Her eyes watching to try and see who or what is in the casket or rather how they appear as, what they are wearing and how they are, looking over the shoveler to see who or what it is, someone real or a monster trying to get an estimate of the possible relationships between them if any.

Gathering up her strength, reaching out her consciousness, hope and wishes for the dreamer to be stronger and feel better to give them a chance to fight against the dream or perhaps more important whatever the dream represents, to give them some strength to stand up for themselves in their awake state hopefully giving some energy to fight back here as well.

[Saber Sloth]

Yamiyo sees a man, a terrified man. Eyes wide and unseeing. Tears streaking and blubbering. Nails torn and bloody bits of white satin fabric and chips of wood are stuck on and under the nails.

The Shoveler is still wreathed in shadow. A vaguely humanoid shape juxtaposed with the all to solid wood and metal shovel.

From Yamiyo's mental shove, the Dream, blinks away the tears. Swallows down around his screaming and breathes.


For the second time something from beyond the Dream, seeks to draw her from it.

Roll Resolve+Composure if you want to stay asleep

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Hmm she had given the person something to fight with, something to feel stronger with once awake still dream poison was not her area nor did her travels seem to give much so perhaps it was time to try to see what would happen if the dream just broke down.
Gathering her strength as she tries to shatter the dream around her.

Still her earlier push seemed to have taken a toll on her body.

Gathering her mind for a second push as she feels the push from the real world, still no she wanted to see if she could slay this dream first then she could awake doing her best to remain here for just a little longer.

[Saber Sloth]

The Succubus, ignores the call to the outside word and continues to focus on the Dream.

Dream Intensity is 2 not 3, you can roll another die for your last Wits+Empathy+Wyrd roll, and if that's a failure you can go a head and roll for your next action.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

So that didn't work, when I tried to be in line with the dream so did it work better though.

Focused on her thoughts, mentally placing out her arms and forcing a light out from the poor victim to wash out over the shoveler once more trying to force the dream asunder.

Sorry I made a mistake and put the 3 instead of a 2 but I did roll the right amount of dies so I do not have one to spare. However if we should try and speed this up so could I do two rolls per post if that's ok with you?

[Saber Sloth]

The Dream shimmers around them, light and dark, made of reaching shadows and abstract sound. The Dreamer still lays in what Yamiyo knows to be the coffin, but she can barely make out the details, the man's face is unrecognizable, only his wide, tearfilled eyes gleam clearly among the blurring shapes.

The shadowy shoveler is now a mass of darkness, the humanoid silhouette, lost amid the rest of the dream, only the muddy silver of the shovel's head is easily told apart.

Dream Intensity is now 1, the next change you make to the Dream that meets the Intensity the Dream will Break! And if you want the Dream to continue you must spend a WP, otherwise you must use a Dreamscaping roll to make a new Dream!

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Smiling as she feels her tricks finally working, dragging the light sent through the victim around the shoveler and letting it fade him out of existence, letting the light spread through the world of this dream breaking it down around her.

Smiling as the dream breaks down, next were to try and build a new dream a relaxing and calm dream for the poor victim still wait what was calm for the victim here? Her mind getting caught up as she just tries to weave without really having a picture in her mind.

[Saber Sloth]

The Dream slips, and shatters around them, the remnants of the Dream fade faster then the Succubus can pull them together to create a Dream soft and easy upon the Dreamer's psyche.

Yamiyo is left alone with the knowledge that as the Dream fades and the Dreamer is forced from their Nightmare that she did nothing to help, nothing to rout out the cause, failing to even offer respite, beyond the certainty of the day ahead, and that come the next night this Dreamer might as well be buried alive once more by the shadowy figure with it's horribly gleaming shovel.

With these thoughts, she wakes.
