Day 515 ( Sept. 25/26 )

Progress through the ice blockade will be slow and narrow, as they can't possibly hope to clear the entirety of the forest that has been buried under Thiazi's black ice. Now that they know the source of her magic's corruption, it might not come as a great surprise when cracking open the ice unleashes a strange burst of magic.

At the halfway point between Utgard and Asgard, a pulse of energy will move through the entire city, immediately putting every mortal it touches to sleep. This part of the curse is mandatory and your character must fall asleep; the dream effects of it are not mandatory, and can be played with at your discretion. During this first wave, Travellers will be granted a brief dream - that does not belong to them. They will see, from the dreamer's point of view, every hope and goal and aspiration that the dreamer wishes to complete before the end of days. Whether it's simply confessing their love to an old friend or saving their home planet or perfecting an Asgardian pie, your character will see someone else's ideal resolution before Ragnarok. More on plotting this below!

Upon waking, the Travellers will be plagued with the indistinct whispering of several voices overlapping one another and a slight headache. Both symptoms will gradually increase over time until it reaches incapacitating pain and nausea. The only way to assuage the symptoms is to find the owner of the dream and either maintain physical contact for an hour or discuss the subject of the dream until a full confession has been made. After that, the symptoms will fade and the Travellers will be free to carry on with their day.

There will be other pulses of magic at random throughout the day; these are not mandatory and you can feel free to have your character experience as many or as few dreams as you wish. All dream-sharing will cease by the end of the day, as the blockade progresses past that centre-point of magic.

[robosnack]

"S-sure," he mutters, fidgeting. "No problem."

[freecssgonwild]

It was a little funny sometimes, seeing Killua react so shyly, but it was a little expected by now.

"... Hey. What about your dream, though?" Didn't he want to talk about that, too? Though, the thought of it made him feel a little weird again - not in a bad way, it was a way that he couldn't really put his finger on.

"Do you still want to talk about it?"

[robosnack]

"Ah--" He looked up again, blinking.

"You said we were both in it? Were we home?"

He really has no idea. He just assumes it's something normal, like training at home together or something. He dreams about that sometimes. It would make sense.

[freecssgonwild]

He shakes his head. "It wasn't any place I recognized. ... It felt a little lonely at first, but you did something." A hand goes to the back of his head, smiling sheepishly.

[robosnack]

"I... did something?" he echoes, confused, cocking his head a little bit and blinking slowly.

"Why are you making that face?"

[freecssgonwild]

"Eh?" What kind of face was he making? He couldn't tell.

"It's because you kissed me." He speaks bluntly, without hesitation or a trace of shyness in the matter.

[robosnack]

"I--"

Killua's eyes go huge, and he stares at Gon speechlessly for an unnaturally long time, the seconds dragging on. He's getting redder and redder.

"I w-w-what?!"

[freecssgonwild]

"I didn't really expect it, either!" Gon exclaimed, eyes wide, waving his hands in front of his face, face changing into a light, pink color. But, his blush was nothing compared to Killua's. "But..." His voice trails off, scratching his cheek.

"... It didn't really feel like it was a bad dream either."

[robosnack]

Killua's starting to resemble a tomato, slowly shrinking away. He doesn't want to let go in case the symptoms get worse, but he's barely touching Gon anymore, breathing fast and face so hot.

"I- the dream you saw, my dream, was-- N-no way! Stop messing with me, Gon! That's not funny!"

[freecssgonwild]

"I'm not lying! It's really what happened!" He protests back, irritated.

[robosnack]

"No way! I wouldn't dream about something so weird! That makes no sense!"

His face is so red, all the way up to the ears. He wants to pull away so badly.

"Don't be stupid, Gon!"

[freecssgonwild]

"I don't get why it happened, either!" It wasn't anything that Gon himself had thought about doing with Killua in the first place, and--

He didn't understand why Killua would dream about something like that, either.

"Why would I make something like this up? I wouldn't do something like that!" He's only growing more irritated through their argument.

[robosnack]

"I- I don't know! Stop embarrassing me!"

Killua wants to disappear, wants to sink into the floor, wants to run away and shut himself in his room.

Sick feeling or no, he pulls away from Gon suddenly, trembling.

"It doesn't matter. It was just a stupid dream. Whatever."

[freecssgonwild]

"Huh?" He pauses for a moment, only to reach forward to put a hand on Killua's shoulder, as though to get his attention again, to stop his shaking a little.

"I didn't think it was stupid."

[robosnack]

Killua freezes, unable to look back at him, staring at his knees.

He can't believe Gon saw something like that. It's- it's too much...

He shakes his head a little, not looking up. "No, it sounds like a pretty stupid dream. Just ignore it."

[freecssgonwild]

Gon looks to him, brows downwards in concern. It's a rarity that he wasn't sure what to say, but this was a situation he definitely hadn't expected for he two of them to be in.

"Why? I don't want to." A beat. Killua might see him as strange for this, but he wasn't one to care for such things. He's been calling him weird since they first met, anyways. "I liked it."

[robosnack]

Killua huddles in on himself, face in his hands, the back of his neck that's visible through his hair just as red as his cheeks.

His words are muffled in his fingers, disbelieving.

"You're just saying that to make me feel better."

[freecssgonwild]

"I already told you, I wouldn't lie about something like this." He didn't like being dishonest in the first place.

He still hasn't take his hand off of Killua's shoulders, but that's all he does for now. He doesn't push for Killua to turn back around.

[robosnack]

"I..."

Killua swallows uncomfortably, unable to look up at all. His fingers are trembling, and his throat feels full of burrs.

"I didn't mean- You weren't supposed to--"

He feels sick all over again, but this time it's not just whatever's affecting the city.

"--see that."

[freecssgonwild]

"... Killua." For a second, Gon merely says his name, and to help steady his shaking, his hand goes to his friend's own hands, cupping the top of his hands. It's more or less a gesture to try to calm him down. "It's okay."

"I didn't think it was a bad thing that I did." The words are meant to be optimistic. "... I just thought that-- 'I should find Killua' after I woke up."

[robosnack]

Killua flinches a little but doesn't have the strength to pull away, staring at Gon's hands on his and still not sure at all how to react.

He can't believe this is happening. Of all the ways to bring this up to Gon...

Swallowing hard, Killua finally manages to look up, skeptical and still not sure what to believe.

"Did... anything else happen in the dream?" he whispers finally, a little scared. He's not sure he wants to know.

[freecssgonwild]

He shakes his head, his grip loosening once Killua's shaking has died down. He makes a quiet 'uh-uh' sound.

"I woke up after."

[robosnack]

Killua licks his lips covertly, still immensely uncomfortable, hating the thought of how suddenly this was sprung on him. Even he's not quite sure how he feels about Gon, but the dream isn't wrong. He has considered it before, and it makes his ears fell hot all over again.

"And...? What did you think then?" Other than having to find him, obviously.

[freecssgonwild]

"Mm, when I woke up...? I was really confused." Kissing him wasn't exactly something that had crossed his mind before. He was simply content with being friends with Killua - or, rather, he always felt happy when he was with Killua, and wanted to be near him almost all the time. That was that. He'd never had a friend like that.

Of course, he was prepared to say good bye once Killua found something else that he wanted to do. That was what they had agreed to do in the first place.

Killua had felt so happy within the dream - it was a feeling that he wanted him to feel outside of the dream, too, of course.

"I'm still really confused, but...

"It's like I said, though. I liked it. ... I thought that it felt nice. But, what about you, Killua?"

[robosnack]

"I- I didn't see that dream, remember?" Killua covers for himself quickly, still not quite able to meet Gon's eyes.
