==> Be the other Derse Dreamer

We open up on a-...

Girl with brown hair- WRONG DERSE DREAMER GENIUS... TRY AGAIN.

==> Be the other MALE Derse Dreamer

You continue to sit in your room looking over a book that you had found in your bookcase, going over all the details in your head.

A war... An eternal stalemate... Another moon-like planet named Prospit... A planet that was the Yang where this planet was the Yin... It all confused you so... Perhaps you would get more details later...

==> Check out index

You flip the book back to the first few pages to find the index and find all of the chapter titles all situated there. As you look at them, your eyes comes across the chapter title 'Derse Royalty'...

And on that chapter was what appeared to be a subsection entitled, 'Derse Dreamers'....

Could it be?

==> Flip the page

Huh.... Huh... This was interesting...

==> Be a certain other Dream Entity

Well you can't do that... But apparently according to this book you COULD do something HE could.

(The view shows outside the window of Aaron's Room in his tower.)

Do you even dare? .......

(Aaron jumps out of the window... And doesn't fall.)

..........................................................

DEAR...

SWEET...

HOLY...

GOD...

The next few minutes are spent with you leisurely flying around Derse, you whooping and hollering and having the time of your life.

NiGHTS. EAT YOUR HEART OUT. XD

==>

Okay enough of this. Fun's fun, but maybe you should return to your tower- Wait...

As you turn to return to your tower, you became aware of other towers near yours. And you could feel odd energy signatures inside one of the towers... Curious...

==> Float over to the Tower

(The picture shows Aaron doing just that.)

==>

(Aaron looks in through the window...)

==>

(Inside, Tara and Pieter are there, likely looking to him strangely. His look was no better.)

==>

(Aaron bashfully waves hi.)

Oh... Hi guys.

-----------------------------------------------------

Kisa

You follow close behind Pieter, excited to finally be talking to someone, and for being invited into their room!

Tara: Yeah, I thought it was pretty weird.... A lot of things here seem to talk about weird stuff. Maids, Space, Pages, Voids, Blood.... It's kinda confusing to take in at the same time.
Tara: And Aarons' awake? Sweet! Maybe if there's time, I can show you guys around Derse.

When you're offered some coffee you're more than happy to accept, especially since you love coffee. You pour yourself a cup and join the other on his bed. You go to take a sip when someone pokes their head into the room and you jump a bit, almost spilling some of the coffee. You look over at them and recognize who it is.

Tara: Oh, hey, Aaron!

You wave back at him.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Shades

You think for a minute, listening to the song. ...Damn, that's a cool song. You then take a large drink of your cappuccino, enjoying the taste.

Pieter: Hey, Tara, I have a question. What does Derse's song sound like to you? I can hear a Trombone playing countermelody to the guitar and violin... Aaron told me he hears the percussion more defined.
Pieter: I dunno about what the people are talking about... could be part of the game, maybe? That's what Aaron and I are thinking, anyway.
Oh hey look over there.

Pieter: Hi, Aaron. Welp, I suppose we can say we're not 'just dreaming' now...
Pieter: Want some coffee?

==> Be the Dersite Merchant again.

(image shows Jack Noir talking on his communicator, the balloon contains a diamond; DM(?) is off to the side watching curiously)

Once again, you're the Dersite Merchant. The oddly dressed man has just pulled out his communicator after having been contacted by someone. He asks the person on the other end how the mission is going. It's only then that you realize that man is the archagent.

The archagent? What's he doing around here?

Whoever's on the other end reports that, off all the rotten luck, "Space Boy" woke up on him at the last second and absconded out the window. Space Boy? Huh?

==>

(short gif image; Jack is still talking to DD when he suddenly turns around staring impatiently at DM(?); DM(?) jumps in surprise when he's caught eavesdropping)

The archagent appears irritated by this report. Another bothersome setback. The HEGEMONIC BRUTE recently reported in that "Rage Girl" wasn't even in her room. He then tells the other to just report back to base for now. He'll check up on how the COURTYARD DROLL is handling--Can he help you???

Ack!

==>

(DM(?) fidgets awkardly as Jack watches)

Er, n-nothing, no, you're fine. You were just headed back to your shop right now.

==> DM(?): Abscond

(DM(?) scampers away)

You have a bad feeling you were listening in on something you shouldn't have, so you'd better hightail it outta there before you get into any further trouble.

------------------------------------------------------------------

RIGHT NOW ON DCSTUCK

[Okay, this was just to help us stay on track. While I know we all know where we stopped, I figured this would be a good way to stay organized. With that said, let us continue.]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------

----------------------

==> Float on in

You decide to take Pieter and Tara on their offer, and float inside. At the offer of Coffee you shrug.

GG:Nah, that's okay. Sorry, coffee isn't my thing. I'm more the Soda guy myself.

==> Have a seat

You do as such on the floor, cross legged.

GG: Looks to me like this isn't any normal dream... You was right about that much Pieter.
GG: Obviously, this thing is a construct of the game. But I'll give it this. This is a VERY well made construct.
GG: I did some light reading while I was in my tower and learned a bit more about this place. Did you know we were considered Royalty?

Such a notion to you seemed laughable honestly.

[ShadesofGrey18]

You think for a minute. Huh... you actually kind of like that idea. But wait...

Pieter: If we're supposedly royalty here, why the hell did Mr. Pinstripe Suit try to off me earlier?
Pieter: He some kind of dissident or something?

[kisashika]

You ponder Pieter's question for a moment, you never really payed that much attention to the music playing before.

Tara: Hmm.... I hear a clarinet and the Bass line mostly, they're the loudest at least. The clarinet seems to have the melody.

You hadn't noticed how pretty the music was before, you could almost fall asleep to it, if you weren't already asleep that is. When Aaron spoke about what he'd read you leaned you leaned in to pay attention, sipping idly at the cup.

Tara: I knew we were special, but not Royalty. Wow, that's new.... No wonder everyone talks about "Sleeping Princes and Princesses".
Tara: You think the Dersites know more about us?

[gantzgun74]

==> ...... Wait... WHAT?

.... Shades question catches your attention quite quickly. A guy in a Pinstripe suit?

Your memory travels back to seeing someone in similar dress on the streets of Derse when you first woke up. The guy made you feel... Uneasy for some reason...

Guess you know why now.

GG: Pinstripe suit huh? Yeah, I saw him earlier, I don't know about Dissident, but at least we know who the villains of this game are.
GG: As for your question Kisa... I assume the Dersites, as their called, know a bit about us.
GG: They know enough to basically call us heroes.
GG: That book told me that the Dersites favor us for some reason or another. I'm willing to assume their current reigning family, the Black King and Queen, are not good at ruling... Or at least, I assume that's the case. The book never told me Otherwise.

-----------------------------------------

(Introducing Gantz headcanon number 1; The reason the Dersites love the dreamers while the archagents and royals hate us is because the Black King and Queen are tyrants over their people. The Dersites believe the Derse Dreamers will one day overthrow the Black King. The main reason no-one's made a move until now is because the Black King doesn't believe that himself, and just thinks the dreamers are a triviality more then anything else.)

[ShadesofGrey18]

You take a moment to shut the door that leads into your room and barricade it with a few amplifiers that are around.

Pieter: My apologies; I feel that this was an ideal action. Anyway... Aaron, that theory sounds plausible, so I feel for the time being we should assume that to be the case. If so... I feel we can also assume that the guy in the pinstripe suit that tried to kill me works directly under the King and Queen...
Pieter: ...If that is the case, then whoever else is here on Derse is probably also in danger. We should be okay since we're awake here... who still isn't? I know Nora is...

[DM: Dersite Merchant]

==> You are now...

((DD is seen sneaking up on a sleeping Dream Pieter with a knife in hand)

...the Draconian Dignitary...of a few minutes back. Now that the war has begun, the agents of Derse can begin going after the dreamselves of those troublesome "heroes". The archagent Jack Noir has assigned you to take out the Mage of Space.

==>

(DD closes in for the kill, grinning smugly)

Hehheh... Look at him sleeping like a baby. This is going to be too easy.

==>

(Dream Pieter awakes with a jolt, just as DD's starting to bring his knife down)

==>

(Rolling to the side, Dream Pieter ticks DD between the legs; DD goes ridged and drops the knife in pain)

...............................................................Ow...

==>

(Dream Pieter wastes no time in flying out the window in escape; DD collects himself and scowls)

Well, shit...

==> DD: Report to the archagent.

(DD has his communicator out; a spades is seen in the balloon)

As soon as you make contact with Jack, he asks how the mission is going. You inform him Space Boy woke up and escaped. Jack doesn't sound to happy; the Hegemonic Brute supposedly already reported failing to find Rage Girl in her room. He then instructs you to report back to base for now. He'll check up on how the Courtyard Droll is handling--Can he help you???

Huh?

...Jack?

Jack apologizes, as he had to chase off a nosy civilian for a moment there. Anyway, he says he'll check to see how the Droll is doing with his own mission. If he REMEMBERS his mission, you remind him. The Droll is, after all, rather easily distracted. Right, Jack says with a groan.

==> DD: Abscond out the window.

(DD leaves out the bedroom door.)

Are you crazy? You can't fly like those hero dreamselves. You leave through the door instead.

==>

(DD is on the surface of the moon again; in the background, way up in the air, Dream Pieter and Dream Tara are seen)

==> DD: Look above and behind you.

(DD does so)

Hmm...

==>

(DD ducks around the corner and watches)

==>

(Dream Pieter, as seen from a distance, checks into his room then motions Dream Tara inside with him)

==>

(Dream Aaron soon appears and joins them)

==>

(back to DD, who's watching intently)

Looks like the heroes' dreamselves are already starting to group. The archagent should probably hear about this. Speaking of which, didn't he say he was handling Void Boy? Guess he had just as much luck.

[kisashika]

Tara: Celecia is still asleep and there's another girl, but I can't tell who it is. We can go to her tower, maybe one of you guys knows who she is.

You down the rest of your coffee and put the cup in a trash can then walk over to lean on the window seal.

Tara: It's really worrisome though, that someone is trying to kill us. It's only logical to assume that since Pieter was almost assassinated that they would go after everyone else, right?
Tara: If that's the case we've got to stop them somehow.

You look between the two guys in the room, slightly worried.

[gantzgun74]

You watched Pieter barricade the door to the room, before you proceeded to think a bit about what's been going on. Man, things sure got serious in a hurry.

GG: Not sure. I want to assume Richard is here, but that'd be jumping to conclusions...
GG: Wait? Cecilia? Do you mean CC?
GG: And a new girl huh? Let me see.... We know Nora is here too... So combine that with us and that makes six of us in total...

..................

==>

(Aaron's face looked a bit horrified.)

Oh jeeze...

==>

There was a few moments of silence as you considered this. You apparently needed a plan, and you needed one in a hurry...

Hold on...

GG: If I may say something... Perhaps the answer is simple.
GG: If these guys are looking for us and those like us. Maybe we should find some place to lie low for a while.
GG: And not just us, we can probably collect the others, to do this as well.
GG: The only real question on that though is, where is the absolute last place these idiots would think to look?

[ShadesofGrey18]

You think for a minute.

Pieter: Well, first things first, we should probably find this last person. Then we can figure out where to go.
Pieter: We better move fast, though.
Pieter: Tara, where is this last tower?

You chug the last of your cappuccino and stand up.

[kisashika]

Tara: Yeah, her tower is on the other side of the moon. But we can't disturb any of the other people.
Tara: They have to wake up on their own, those of us who are awake can try and find somewhere to hide, but everyone else has to be left alone.

You stand up and walk across the room, a slow pace.

Tara: There's a bunch of places to hide here on Derse and maybe some on Skaia, but it's probably not a good idea to go there. They're gearing up for a big battle there right now....
Tara: But it probably wouldn't matter if we hid or not, because once we wake up in the real world again, our bodies here go back to sleep.
Tara: Speaking of which, we should go now, before we wake up.

Turning back towards the window, you go over and hop out of it, waiting for the others to follow.

[gantzgun74]

You stand up as well, looking ready to go! This was going to be a heck of a mission!

GG: Yeah! Let's get a move on, we got a lot of-

==> Go on Mission

You can't really do that. You sorta just suddenly fell asleep...

Well... THAT came out of nowhere.

[ShadesofGrey18]

==> Notice Aaron falling asleep.

You do. You start to do something, then notice your eyelids getting heavy. You fall asleep rather quickly as well, landing on your bed.

Real-world Pieter: Wake up and be trolled.

A shouting noise alerts you to a new person attempting to Pester you. You groggily rub your eyes and pick up your Dashtop.

[kisashika]

===> Momentarily FREAK OUT HOLY CRAP

And you do just that by flailing around a bit and running a circle around your asleep friends. What are you supposed to do now, all of your sleeping friends are in danger and there isn't anything you can do about it!

===> Calm down.

That's going to be really hard, you're the only person awake on Derse right now and there's no WAY you'll be able to fight off any Derse Spies that want to Assassinate your friends.

You pace the room one more time before taking a seat on Pieter's dream-bed to try and think things through. As you think, you hear those pained voices again, the ones you've spent so much time listening to before. They're telling you something, something important, but it's hard to make out.

Space.... Void.... Leave.... Go.... Okay.... Blood.... Light.... Life.... Leave....

They're being very cryptic again, you've never been able to understand what they're talking about. Void, Space, Life, Light, Blood.... You understand that they call you by "Rage" whatever THAT means. You stare down at Aaron and Pieter, who are in heaps on the floor. Might as well make them comfortable until they wake up again.

===> Place those kids on the bed.

Yeah, yeah, you're working on it. They're just heavy and you've never been that strong. Eventually you manage to get both of them laid comfortably on the bed. You smile at your handywork and get ready to hop out the window and do some more exploring.

===> Nope, go to sleep.

Opps, there you go, falling down on the floor next to the bed. Just a snoozing.
