Sleep Paralysis

[Seraphina]

While to some, it might be a difficult decision, to leave the protection the barrier brought, or continue forward, being exposed. But it wasn’t difficult for Sera, they were here for a reason, and that reason was below, and still on the move.

Hearing Sonnie, she knew that she was making the right call by still chasing the figure.

But sometimes that confidence has a way of biting you in the ass.

Sonnie frees Vincent's foot, just in time to see Sera stumble along the same gap and fall.

Good thing, they were all still behind Sonnie's fire escape barrier, bad news, the Shadow in the Corner of You Eye was on the move!

It oozes and slinks, and contorts in a very inhuman fashion around-through-over-under but always, always from the Corner of Your Eye as it passed completely through those impossible gaps. It's standing before them. They know it. But they can't see it. They can only see the glimpses from the Corner of their Eyes.

And as it stands, before them, the figure in white draws further, and further away...

[Sonnie Wu]

There was a droll expression on her face, just for a moment, as Sera stumbled.

I'm running a parkour class when we get back.

The expression turned into an outright frown as she sensed, rather then directly saw, the shadow-thing slip past her barrier.

It's gonna be one of those days...

With Vincent free, she stood up and fell into a martial arts stance. Could she even fight something she can barely see? It would be cool if she closed her eyes like some blind kung fu master but she never trained for that. She'd have to make do.

"Sooooo... 'sup?" maybe she could keep it busy while Sera (eventually) caught the glowy guy?

[Vincent Black]

Vincent was thankful when Sonnie freed his foot. What is going on with him, it is like he cannot get a grip in this dream. He then saw it, just a fleeting glimpse but he knew it was there, and it bypassed the barrier Sonnie pulled up.

“What is it, do you guys know how to fight this thing?” Vincent asked truly because he had no idea how to fight something that he could not get a good look at.

[Seraphina]

She knew the stumble was going to cost her in catching up with the figure.

Behind her, she heard her friends talking about some creature, and for a moment, she was torn. The urge to turn around and protect her friends was strong, but pursuing the Dreamer was what they came in here for. To save them.

She knew Sonnie was powerful and had this in the bag, and silently, she apologies, before starting after the figure again.

[Saber Sloth]

Sera's foot, is likewise caught between the gaps like Vincent's had been. The white clad figure continues to flee, and the shadow in the corner of your eye fails to respond to Sonnie's prompting.

[Sonnie Wu]

"Oh yeah, totally," Sonnie bluffed, in response to Vincent. "Fought jackholes like this before. I'd tell you the secret, but then it wouldn't be a secret."

It was annoying trying to get a visual bead on this thing, like trying to look around a blind spot or something. The shadow's lack of response was also mildly irritating. Maybe she could goad it into staying here.

"The gist is guys like this are cowards," she said, as if still trying to teach Vinny something.

Abyssalstar Sonnie Wu can you roll Initiative? Your first action can still be to goad the shadow

[Vincent Black]

"Good to know." Vincent says as he prepares to fight.

[Seraphina]

Fuck! She curses in her head as she feels her foot become stuck.

Not knowing how long it would take to get it unstuck, she looks helplessly at the fleeing shadow then back to her friends.

Good thing with oneiromachy is she doesn’t have to really be mobile. Well, unless its attention turns to her, but she’d figure that out then.

If she can’t get the fleeing white figure, she would protect her friends.

Not sure if Sera needs to 'reactivate' her Wyrd Armor or not, but if she does, then she will do that
