[Hi everyone how has your weekend of nightmares gone? Terribly? Great! Ready for more? No? Too bad.]

[If you're traveling around in the nightmares, you'll come across an area that seems like no one has turned on the lights - it's pitch black and you can't see past that]

[Overall the space gives off a cold feeling. Really cold, like it should be snowing in here. Sound is easy to pick up, in fact it's almost like someone turned up the volume way loud on the world. You can hear your own heartbeat, that small squeak of your sneakers, your own breath. If you have bad lungs? Well now you know. Cut out those cigarettes or inhaling chemicals already! You sound terrible!]

[There doesn't seem to be anyone else around. In fact you get the overwhelming sense that you are nothing short but purely alone and that's the way it always is. ]

[Though, that will probably change real soon now that there are spectators]

[OOC: Same deal as Allen's post a couple days ago. Nightmares will sorta be tailored based on people's desires level of trauma or aspect. You can find out what sort of stuff you can be in for here! Anyone's welcomed!]

[He'll run right into what seems to be the Cathedral of Meltokio. You remember this place at all? Well it looks like there was some sort of choir practice here, but they've taken a break for lunch. Young girls and boys all dressed up in formal nobility clothes that's proper for church are all sitting in groups as they eat their lunches, talking to one another]

[ Surprised by how sudden he's arrived in such a place, Genis blinks and looks around, admittedly very lost. It seemed familiar... and the fancy building architecture screamed Tethe'alla.

He cautiously walks in, not holding his kendama or anything, but he finds himself oddly on-edge. Must be the sudden company after being so certain he was alone... he's glancing about, wondering if there's anyone familiar here. Where is everyone, anyway? ]

[wilder]

[They're off having their own terrible nightmares of course!]

[As Genis walks in to get the full view, it seems like everyone is clustered in groups, big and small as they talk to each other in a friendly manner probably close to the kids in Iselia. ]

[That is, except for everyone but one redhead kid that seems to be sitting alone, staring at his lunch. The other groups of kids will have sometimes some the glance over at him, warily or nervously before whispering to each other. The boy meanwhile is clearly trying not to look at the other kids and pretending he doesn't care, though the fact he's only picking at his food and his depressed expression clearly says otherwise]

[He really hated lunchtime. ]

[pocketmage]

[ Funny, how he feels like he knows this situation all too well. The lonely redhead could have easily been him- after all, before he had met Lloyd and Colette... Genis had been all alone. Separated from the other kids.

Unable to help it- he feels drawn to keep that poor kid company- the half-elf seats himself next to him. ]

Um... hi.

[ So smooooth. ]

[wilder]

[The smoothest you'll get all da ladies. It seems to take him a moment to even register that someone is talking to him, because he's so used to people not talking to him. But when it does a couple seconds later, he'll look over at Genis with surprise and confusion. ]

Ah- ...Hello?

[pocketmage]

[ When he looks up, Genis senses something oddly familiar about this boy. Almost as if he might know him. There's something familiar about those bright red locks... ]

You don't mind if I sit here, do you? [ He realizes a bit late that he might be projecting himself onto this child too much. ]

[wilder]

[The boy seems even more surprised. He thought at most you'd be asking for directions or something]

Really? You want to sit here?

[He glances at the other kids, noticing how they seem just as confused about this guy as he is. Guess they didn't send him. He'll look back and nod]

O-Okay! I don't mind!

[pocketmage]

[ He notices how the boy looks around first, wondering what was wrong with them. But at the reply, he visibly relaxes. ]

Thanks!

So, what are you guys all doing here?

[ He wants to know-... Besides, giving this place another look, it seemed very religious. ]

[wilder]

[He gives the kid a curious look, did he seriously not know? Maybe he's just visiting the cathedral or something...]

Choir practice. We have it every week.
