Prompt 1: Everyday Life

[A nondescript man pats down his pockets, frowns, and then heads your way with purpose.]

So . . . Don't suppose I could get a smoke off of you?

Prompt 2: I Can't Believe It's Not Thusia

[Your character has died! And then . . . woken up in some cold stone room full of weird shrines??? Plus some strange dude is sitting next to you, puffing lightly on a cigarette.]

Oh, you're awake? Then welcome back to the land of the living. Or to the land of the re-living. Still not sure how the terminology works there.

Prompt 3: You Make Up A Scenario

[You make up a scenario.]

[jarredforlife]

Well, they are desperate.

[jarredforlife]

Give it a try sometime.

[jarredforlife]

I've never really been the "live among" type . . .

[dreamvour]

It's required.

[instead of elaborating, though, she continues] And my domain is their dreams. So either way, I didn't have a choice.

[wethrinaer]

One would think, then, they'd have something of a screening process on those who they decide to bring in, at the very least.

[I mean, this guy has committed some serious genocide and they let him in? Geez, low standards]

[malignstar]

I'd rather not.

[jarredforlife]

Then you'll never know what's so fascinating about them, will you?

[jarredforlife]

Dreams, huh? Sounds pretty interesting.

[jarredforlife]

[yeah Barakiel isn't sure why they brought him in either...]

You would think that, wouldn't you. It's the heroic types who jump in to save the day and everything, right . . .

[dreamvour]

[let it be known that Baku isn't known for her tact]

For the most part, but I don't pay them much attention before I eat them, anymore.

[wethrinaer]

As far as I'm aware! I don't know for sure, I make sure to give those types a wide berth.

[malignstar]

Some knowledge I can do without.

[pauses when he asks, then pats their pocket]

You know, I just might.

Re: 1

[jarredforlife]

Really?

[jarredforlife]

Well, I'm not exactly a heroic type myself.

[jarredforlife]

Then no point complaining about how knowing what you've decided you don't need to know, right?

[jarredforlife]

Eating dreams?

. . . That's a new one.

Re: 1

[offscript]

[a cigarette case appears! or, well, they take it out of their coat pocket]

Is there something wrong with that? You did ask.

[jarredforlife]

Given the response until now I wasn't sure I'd actually meet someone who had any on them . . .

[dreamvour]

[now she looks amused]

It's no different from those who use dreamcatchers in the west.

People don't want to remember their bad dreams or their nightmares - so they ask me to devour it.

[wethrinaer]

A criminal, then?

[offscript]

I guess it's hard to find someone who wants to take their life in their hands like that.

[opening the case and offering]

[jarredforlife]

[also I forgot since Thais is a demon they can see a lot of like, magic circles and sigils and things all over Barakiel's body except his face, it's visible over his shirt collar and on his arms because his sleeves are rolled up. :V]

[anyway he is reaching out to take one 'w']

I won't bite the hand that gives me a smoke.

[jarredforlife]

No, just not a hero.

[jarredforlife]

Very courteous of you.
