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.

Killua either doesn't notice or attributes the sound to something else. He pops back up with a grin, leaning in toward Gon to nudge their shoulders together.

"Yeah, definitely."

And then he pauses, a tiny bit shy again, and glances away. Their shoulders are still touching.

"It kinda sucked, being here alone," he admits quietly, before rushing to cover it up. He doesn't want to sound too sappy or weak, after all. "I mean, it's not like I care. I can take care of myself! But- it still kinda sucked."

[freecssgonwild]

Gon blinks at that, fairly surprised by Killua's words. He gazes at Killua, before he smiles. "... Honestly, it felt kind of strange being here alone, but- I'm glad that you're here too, Killua."

He pauses for a moment, only for a hand to move around Killua's neck, to his shoulder. A bit of a copy of what Killua had done earlier, but it wasn't really for any reason in particular except that he wanted to, and he'd enjoy their closeness a lot earlier.

"When I saw you, I thought that I was really thankful that my best friend could be here with me!" He chirps, his expression bright.

[robosnack]

Earlier, Killua had done it on instinct, to comfort him when he was in pain and because it had seemed to help before. Now, the gesture seems like more, especially after the kiss they'd shared.

He tenses up a little, heart skipping a beat, and leans in very slowly to rest against Gon's side. It's hard to remember how to breathe correctly. Gon's words make his ears turn pink.

"You're so cheesy!" he complains, gently smacking his knee.

[freecssgonwild]

"Huh? I am? But, I really do mean it! I'm glad you're here." He only said what was on his mind when he thought it. He didn't see the harm in being honest, anyways.

When Killua leans in, he could feel his own heart race, but it didn't make him blush or feel embarrassed like it did for Killua - his expression only softened.

[robosnack]

"Me too, but-- Well, you don't have to be so sappy about it! Jeez, you're so embarrassing!" Killua complains, not meaning it at all, and hides his face in Gon's shoulder.

[freecssgonwild]

Gon just laughs again, hands moving to tangle in Killua's hair, actions playful now. Everything did indeed feel a little different now, but at the same time, everything felt the same as always, too. As though things had always been this way between them.

"Hey, hey - let's do something fun when all of this is over."

[robosnack]

Killua shakes his head, huffing, and headbutts his shoulder in a gesture of affected annoyance.

Gon's suggestion makes him look back up though, pulling back to blink at him, then smile.

"Yeah! That sounds like a good idea. I wonder what we could do... Any ideas?"

[freecssgonwild]

Gon doesn't even have to think about it too much, really.

"Remember when we went to Whale Island? If we can, we could explore around like that somehow together again." He still didn't know all the rules that Asgard seemed to have.

[robosnack]

"Ah! That's a good idea." Killua grins too, excited.

[freecssgonwild]

"It'll be fun! I can't wait." Gon bounced a bit where he sat.

[robosnack]

"I haven't explored far outside of the city. We can see what else there is!"

He's content like this, just thinking up scenarios, things they can do together. Even if they don't end up doing it all, just the conjecture itself is nice.

Perhaps it's selfish of him, but he's so happy Gon is here.
