Nightmares follow you like shadows

Who: Felix Harrowgate and YOU
What: Very bad dreams
When: Anytime during the Nightmare plot
Where: The labyrinth of his mind
Rating: PG-13 to R, depending on preference

[The atmosphere here isn't terribly inviting. The walls are dark, damp stone lit by the occasional sputtering torch, casting shadows so thick and alive that they seem like they could jump out and wrap themselves around your throat at any moment. The air is cold and underneath everything is a fetid, metallic tang that hangs in the air and permeates the stones. You can almost feel the despair leaking out of every pore of the rock.

Felix would call this feeling mikkary, though the word may mean nothing to you.

As for the wizard himself, he's standing with his back up against the wall, staring at you but more correctly through you, as if he can see something there that you cannot, and doesn't like it.
]

We have to go...

[His voice is small and strained with the effort of holding back panic. And then you know what he does. Something is out there and it's looking for you. Something malevolent, and you don't want it to find you down here]

Hurry...

[He tugs on your sleeve, pleadingly, and darts into a darkened doorway]

FIRE | WATER | MALKAR

((ooc: Wait for sections. You can do any or all of them. Felix is trying to outrun Malkar. At your option, your someone can be a particular person or thing your character fears...especially if they happen to fear becoming like that. At your option, I can incorporate them into that last section somehow. Feel free to PM or contact to discuss details))

[ Duke blinks, trying to place the smells to this place. Fire was clear enough, if it was one of those low ones for heating that few ever used, and nothing else tells him anything... of use.

The voice is not any he recognizes, but the term of endearment automatically makes him ignore it; its not for him -

Although the slamming shut door makes him turn for the wall to find it. That is another thing he automatically places, this time as 'bad thing'.

[ Which means things are quite a bit worse than Duke thought at first. Felix voice adds to that.

Although, so far, the conversation isn't quite enough to pull his attention from trying to figure out how the door is locked. If he can undo that, it would make this quite a bit better.
]

Is that supposed to mean something to me? [ In Duke's mind, simple 'murder' doesn't quite cover what he tried to do. ]
radiantwingedone: (Focus)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2012-10-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Duke tilts his head, weighing those words, and pokes about that spell. ]

Again, is it supposed to matter?

[ ... and maybe he takes a carefully measured pair of steps back from the door. Its still within his sensing range, but he's not going go further. ]

[ Duke hums a little, debating the idea of simply shredding the spell, when the steps and Felix seems to... Well, panic didn't sound quite right, but he did something because he didn't like what was going on.

This probably meant that Duke shouldn't continue standing with his back toward that someone who was also in there, so he turns half way. He carefully gathers some magic - not giving it a purpose yet, but holding enough for a quick spell.
]

Would you like aid in enforcing that?
radiantwingedone: (Focus)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2012-10-17 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Duke thinks for a moment. What would be a 'keep away' but not something outright offensive?

... Well, he had been meaning to work on it.

Duke lays down what may be described as a bug-deterrent spell. Only he keys it so Felix and Duke are allowed across, and anything else should get a jolt. The formula scrawls about in a circle along the ground, crackling once when it encloses them.
]

... Unless something more ... violent is desired.
radiantwingedone: (Most unimpressed by your words)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2012-10-22 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Duke listens to that, and shrugs slightly, not... feeling at all impressed with what seemed to feel like a handful of fire.

He knows what his next project will be, though. It would be useful, and double as something flashy to scare with, if he got the idea that was forming right.
]

... I am not seeing what needs to be rethought in the face of a handful of fire.

[ Duke shifts the magic he'd been holding toward wind, which may make it visible as green, indistinct lines of formula about him. ]

[Clow knows just enough oneiromancy to feel as though where ever he is, something is off. That he doesn't quite fit in right. The way Felix had looked at him - or perhaps more accurately, had not looked at him - only cemented the feeling. And any attempts at trying to snap the other wizard out of his fear had failed, leaving him trailing after Felix through the dark, damp corridors. The place was Gothic architecture gone to ruin, like hundreds of old churchs and keeps he'd seen before. There was no life to be had here, other than themselves - not any more.

And then, abruptly, there was a room different from the others in furnishings, if not in style. The man across the room from them smiles, and for a brief moment, it isn't brown hair and Western features, it's Clow's own face smiling that cold smile back at them.]
legacydeck: (hmm)

[It's almost as if he's seeing double: the brown-haired man - Malkar - and himself. Or at least, a version of himself - a could-have-been, and he knows how close he's come to that line in the past]

I'd prefer to stand, thank you.
legacydeck: (hmm)

[personal profile] legacydeck 2012-10-12 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Clow glances at the decanter - then at Felix. Fear is easy to read on the other wizard's face. He's not sure if he should step in or not - and then he looks back at the Malkar-him, and he can feel revulsion twist in his stomach. He can't stay detached - not when faced with that]

I would think that's Felix's decision to make, really.

[His voice almost matches Malkar - the same friendly purr over a core of ice]
legacydeck: (hmm)

[personal profile] legacydeck 2012-10-17 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps you shouldn't be one to cast stones.

[He meets Malkar's eyes, and any pretense of politeness is gone]

I know your kind of wizard. I've killed your kind of wizard.
legacydeck: (hmm)

[personal profile] legacydeck 2012-10-19 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I like to think so. Unless you only prey on your own kind. [And there's a small, sideways glance at Felix]

...Which I somehow doubt.
legacydeck: (hmm)

[personal profile] legacydeck 2012-10-23 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Annemer?

[Though his eyes only leave Malkar's for a second, he intends that question for Felix, the ice gone from his voice for a moment]
