WHO: Anyone
WHERE: Where ever you're sleeping
WHEN: Night 5

[Tonight is another peaceful(?) night in the pasture, and whether your beds have been mercifully upgraded or you're sleeping on stacks of hay or brainless sheep, you're sure to get some good shut eye.

However, all dreams seem far more vivid and lucid than usual. It's like you can reach out and touch them. And you may have some visitors; flockmates, friends, acquaintances, it's like a playground for dreamwalkers tonight.

So whether you have sweet dreams or nightmares, there may be some crossovers happening. Good luck to those with memory loss especially. What will you dream of? Will you just observe others?

Whatever the case, when you wake up, the dreams don't fade away as normal (unless you want them to) and you can recall every detail. Surely this won't be awkward! Sleep well.]

[OOC: Dream post!! Be sure to get player permission if you think you might be stepping in on something personal, but otherwise go nuts with dreams as you see fit.]

[A point blank energy blast into ANYTHING'S mouth is bound to do something--

And something it does. Light pours out of the beast, purple rays seemingly splitting it to shreds as its shadowy body begins to disintegrate, along with the corpse from before. It lets out a howl of pain as first its tail, then legs, then torso begins to disappear. . .

Then suddenly, a shadowy claw strikes upwards, despite being completely detached, slashing Blood Fiend deep into his back before it completely disappears.

The beast's head cackles as it fades away.]

I curse you! I curse you pathetic prey!

[ you'd think he wouldn't toy with his opponents by now, but here we are.

ow??? he gasps as he drops to the ground, detransforming as he slows down his Shinsu flow to halt the bleeding.

uh where is he now ]

[wooliefrand]

[With the beast gone for now, the fog engulfs Blood Fiend.

He blacks out.

When he wakes up, he'll be back in meadow, somewhere. The gash on his back is deep and bloody--it can be healed, but will notably leave a very prominent scar that seems to ache.

PREY STATUS EFFECT - The scar will ache and ache until Blood Fiend admits to wanting to be embraced by someone he trusts (and doing the action). He will also temporarily have a phobia of blood (anywhere 1-3 ooc days).]

[ alright come find him you idiot Bluebells ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

[smelled the blood and clasping Crescendo's shoulder to try and prepare him--]

Ah, it seems there'll be no need to make a third attempt...

[heavyliesthecrown]

What do you-

[He follows Rubato's gaze, however.]

Blood Fiend!

[Worried sick, he rushes over.]

What happened!?

[Pulling his topmost shirt off, he presses it to his back where he notices the most bloodflow.]

Just hold still, okay?

[catposting]

[ thanks to halting his ki Shinsu flow, he's not bleeding out as badly as he could be, but that gash is still hella deep. at least he can't see it laying face down like this.

he recognizes that voice. both those voices. ]

Crescendo...?

[ speech muffled by the grass. he's holding still though, because he's not an idiot UNLIKE SOME IDOL. ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

[casting one of his own healing spells--it's more like energy replenishment but it helps, and isn't as restricted by being away from the tamed pasture]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Tsukasa isn't aware of whatever types of magic are being used or cast. But he does offer a steadying hand out to the cat.]

Shh. Please do not over-exert yourself right now. You are injured.

[He can just sit a moment until both Rubato and himself are able to help Blood Fiend back up to his feet and help him to the pasture.]

I am untouched and perfectly fine. But the same cannot be said for you.

[catposting]

[ is he really gonna be saved by strangers again?? this is even more embarrassing than post-ritual. at least he'd been unconscious (dead) for that.

but he does as told. he stands carefully, nodding briefly at Rubato — the source of the borrowed strength, he presumes, since Crescendo can apparently do fuck all — before glaring at the idol. the glare is half-hearted at best; even with the healing, it's not like he has the energy to hide his relief. ]

... Next time you decide to venture into the mist alone, consider how useless you'll be to your team while dead.

[ wincing as he talks ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

Fufu, it seems you're already making friends, dear Crescendo.

[Yes that registered as friendly to him]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Ah... I would be glad for that.

[ He isn't sure he is good at making friends, but. He does like Blood Fiend. He appreciates him. And he feels guilty, too. He knows he doesn't have anywhere near the same prowess as Rubato, or Blood Fiend himself. He simply... cannot stand on the sidelines, either.]

I just... thought I could help, somehow.

[Instead, it caused a mess for someone other than himself, and involved Rubato, too. He closes his eyes, helping support Blood Fiend's weight as they work their way back 'home'.]

I am truly sorry. Never would I have wanted you to be injured. Especially on my behalf. I know you tried to protect me. Thank you.

[catposting]

[ oh my god don't just SAY IT OUT LOUD like that ]

I told you already... I just couldn't sleep. You were making too much noise... especially with that catapult stunt of yours...

[ <- would sound a lot more convincing if he wasn't breathing so raggedly. also shut up Rubato, you're not helping. ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

Oh? Isn't it just that you have a habit of keeping watch on Rose's roof?

[sorry he's]

[heavyliesthecrown]

That seems to be a very feline thing to do.

[Helping support him. He's not all that strong but he can help support. And Rubato is there to help.]

Right now, you should just rest and try not to speak so much, until we can get to a point where we can help heal you.

[ . . . ]

I recall you said you prefer your team's method of healing. But I hope, at least today, you will accept our own.

[catposting]

Just do it.

[ lmao, survival instinct wins over dignity yet again. he really is a cat. ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

Shall I leave it to you, Crescendo-kun?

[Is it really more dignified to suck someone's blood? Rubato has a good amount of energy left despite the late hour and how much he was running around earlier in the day. It's quite a hike back to the pastures but he'll keep Blood Fiend steady the whole way.]

[ . . . . . . . FLUSTERS. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Blood Fiend-san. I... I need you to close your eyes.

[catposting]

[ YES IT IS MORE DIGNIFIED. besides, he has natural fangs! it fits with the theme. ]

[ even if he can't see Crescendo at this angle, he can hear the fluster in his voice. he bites back a laugh — even with Rubato's healing and his Shinsu manipulation helping stop the blood flow, laughing would undoubtedly hurt like a bitch.

what a ridiculously pure child. of all the people you could have summoned, Blossom, why this one? -_- ]

... It's stronger on the lips, isn't it.

[heavyliesthecrown]

J-Just close your eyes, I know what I'm doing!

[catposting]

I'll kill you if you try anything weird.

[ but fine. closing his eyes. don't test him buddy, he still has a little left in the tank. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ DYING INTERNALLY. Because he absolutely has no idea what he is doing despite saying so.

But he rises up onto his tiptoes, and-]
