"Wow! Ohh, ooooh..." Dreameater hums as the selection pops up. After picking what he wants, Glory helps him decide on trying it medium rare, since he started having somewhat of a debate over whether he wanted it raw or well done...

But once that's done, the Nightmare turns around again to look over the room once more. He's still got a grin on his face. "Man, I feel like I'm being spoiled now, how long has it been since I got to stay in a room like this?" he says, tipping his hat at the guard before putting his hands behind his head. "Suddenly I went from being a prisoner, to now, I almost feel like I'm a DrrrrRRrrr..."
He doesn't finish his sentence, as near the end his expression changed to a glare, his tone to a growl, and he covers his face with one hand.

Dreamcatcher smile shifted when his brother took an obvious turn, that Eater realized what was happening...

The guard tense up with the shift in the Nightmare behavior, she didn't make any sudden movements but was ready if she needed to be. Catch had his hand down low and he did he discrete hold on gestured to her, the Vaseterm seen and was going to let the prince do his thing but would stay at the ready just in case.

" it really is something isn't it?" Dreamcatcher replied keeping his friendly tone, he walked up beside the Nightmare and patted his on the back as he said " see all your good behavior has paid off! " the Dreamer prince rests his hand on his brother shoulder and maybe use just a little emotion magic in hopes to calm down Eater a bit " I seen some of the other rooms and they are /not/ this nice " he pointed across the way to a door and added " you even have your own bathroom now! "

Dreameater makes another quiet growl when Dreamcatcher pats him on the back, and surely Catch can feel the anger and frustration he has. He quietly growls a little more, and opens one eye to try and look at Catch, but he does seem to calm down a little. "I'm... /Not/ a Dreamer, I'm a Nightmare... And... I have good behavior... Yeah, I've been trying to respect them..." he mumbles mostly to himself, now rubbing the side of his face with his hand. "Now I... I have a whole bathroom? Through there?"

//Good work Catch,// Morning Glory telepathically encourages him, then tries to help as well by adding, "Yes, through there, you should really see it, Eater."

The Nightmare stays quiet and unmoving for a little longer before he starts heading that way. "... I don't have to call anyone or get a scan before I go through this door, right?"

Catch took a breath and answered Glory // thanks... I'm just glad it seems to be working? Eater pretty upset that Weaver was coming though more.... this is going to be harder now that Eater knows about Weaver to.... I just hope the team can figure out something we can do to help Weaver before anything bad happens...// And without skipping a beat he replied to the Nightmare as he walks towards the door that would lead to the bathroom holding his hand out toward it " Yeah! After talking with the Queen about all the good deeds you done for not only the group up for others she granted you your very own bathroom! There is a hallway first and that it, you can just open the doors in here! "

Catch lead the way though the hallway, there destination was to the right, the Dreamer prince then makes it to the door first and Grin as he said " and best part, you can just go in, no scanning no waiting for anyone to open it, well " he made a goofy face because Eater had to wait on him to open it now and with that Dreamcatcher opened the bathroom door wide for his friend to go check it out " this is all yours~ "

Crystal’s head tilted slightly as she observed Fiona while she gave her response. “That’s really good to hear, that it’s more stable,” the girl commented about the corruption, feeling a small bit of relief with that knowledge.

Soon nodding again, Crystal gave a gentle smile back after hearing the suggestions, “Sure, those sound like good ideas.”

Fiona beamed when Crystal agreed and stepped even further back to open a walkway for her. "Great! Let's go!"

...However, she paused, took a couple of steps in one direction, stared down the corridor, then slowly whirled back around to face Crystal and Kyle, "...Uh... Where are we supposed to go for food again? It is this way, right...?"

Kyle smiled and started leading the way, "There are multiple places for food, but this will get you there--we can use the teleporters, or go by foot."

Fiona then gave Crystal a thoughtful look, "Uh... I can go with either of those... We can just talk while we get there, either way!"

hey uh i know im 279 rps late but would I be able to join? i don't mind if i cant

//I know, I know,// Morning Glory replies, then watches as Dreamcatcher continues to handle this well.

Dreameater more quietly follows Catch towards the door, and then he briefly scans the hallway they enter before Catch gets to the bathroom. "Alright...?" he quietly mutters at first, but then his eyes slowly widen again when he actually sees the bathroom. "Woah, this place is huge," he says, noticing the stall shower and the large bathtub that sits toward the far wall. Of course, there's a toilet tucked away by the sinks on the left wall, and a laundry washer and drier are set up against the bottom wall, not far from where they came in. The place is a bright, clean white, with soft purple bath rugs here and there by the shower and the tub. Everything he could possibly need is here. Dreameater goes over first and examines the stall shower, which is big enough for him to enter comfortably in his true form if he wanted. "... This really is quite the upgrade from my last den," he says, then looks around at the walls. "... Are there no cameras or anything in here? Or are they just hidden?"

@FirestarArt No, I'm sorry, but we stopped accepting new members years ago ':/

ah well, seemed a bit late, thanks anyway

Crystal stepped out of her rooms entrance and let the door close behind her, soon moving along with the others.

At least, until Fiona paused and eventually asked questions, which caused her to pause for a moment too. The girl listened and watched Kyle begin the way toward food, then looked over at the Elemental to respond to her, “If you’re sure you’re okay with either, then let’s walk.”

Catch and Anna just watch the Nightmare as he explorers his bathroom, he nodded at his brother " yup, there no cameras in there, the Queen allowed for you to have some privacy however that doesn't mean they won't be able to tell if you're in here, you still have your tracking bracelet and the rooms are fitted with heat monitoring devices that can tell were you are "

Dreameater stays quiet for a moment longer, still seeming a bit wary after having caught on to Weaver just minutes ago. Finally, he crosses his arms, and has a slightly smug look on his face as he makes a snarky remark. "Well, I'm glad that the Vaseterm Queen is acknowledging how hard I've been trying to prove myself. After all this time? I'd better have gotten something more! And now I have," he says, letting out a huff at the end. Though he jerks his head at some other doors in the room. "Where do these go, though? Is that for the Vaseterm to use? And what's with that hallway?"

"Walking it is!" Fiona agreed, watching Kyle for a moment to make sure he heard that, too. The Vaseterm briefly turned his head, implying that he did.

"...Man, it's already been a week!" Fiona started rambling after a short moment of quiet, "It's been... A really rough week--but I'm glad we've talked more. We'll hit next week even better!

With them waking up Weaver, do you think Crimson will wake up soon, too? He was sleep talking a lot last time..."

// oh boy just don't go filling Eater head to much Cat, the last thing we need is a Nightmare with an ego bigger them himself// Anna rises her eyebrow as she observed Eater.
Catch try hard not to make a goofy face at his partner teasing, he collected himself and moved on to what the Nightmare asked " ah yeah that!" Catch headed towards the door with a lively step " if you like this room you going to like this even more but you will have to go though other scan to go in and out, you have your own backyard to! As for the hallway that connect to a service and maintenance Hall that the Vaseterm use... that's mostly off limits to us "

"A backyard?" Eater repeats, "I have a backyard?" He doesn't mention much about the maintenance hall because he doesn't care, "What all is out there? And why would they even give me a backyard, anyway? I mean, that's awesome, but, wouldn't they be worried about me running off?"

With a small Chuckles Catch replied as he pat his brother on the back " why don't you just see it for yourself?" He then walked forward to the door to show how this scanner worked, he just stood in front of the door, then a flickering light in a beam came from a little device about the door, the light went up and down the Dreamer prince and then a voice said 'access granted' Catch then step to the side and gestured with his hand for Eater to do the same " it know were both in here and won't open until we both get scanned or you leave, but don't do that! I want you to check out all of what the Queen has given you "

A small smirk comes to Eater's face as Catch encourages him to just get out there to see it, and he goes ahead to stand in front of the scanner. "What, you think I'd stand here and go, 'Nah, I don't want to see my freaking backyard--' althouuugghh... I do have a steak that's being prepared for me... Maybe I should go back and wait?" he teases, grinning at Catch while the device scans him.

" I mean you could but it's not going to go anywhere" Catch teased.

Ones the door finished its quick scan of the Nightmare the light turned green and it was clear to open.

Catch then open the door for his friend and first to be seen was a lit patio area, a few chairs and benches circle a fire pit and off to the side was a cooking station, but there was more, a lot more...

"Ohh... Hey, hey!!" Eater exclaims as he gets a glimpse of what's out there, and he rushes out ahead. "This is awesome!!" the Nightmare cheers as he takes a look at the patio and the fire pit area, "I'm gonna have to have you guys over to hang out sometimes! Is that a cooking station? Hey!" In his looking around, he finds a small little shack, and upon opening the door, he finds different tools and other things, like a fishing rod, things to set up a hammock, tennis rackets, etc. "Catch! Hey man, look at this!" Dreameater says as he pulls out two of the tennis rackets and shows them to his brother, "There's a fishing rod in here too, so is there a pond in here somewhere? How big is this yard? Man, I want to run out there and explore now, but I'm not even dressed!"

Morning Glory smiles at the light that's come back to Dreameater's face, and she flies up onto her partner's hat to sit. //I think Weaver's too excited for Eater to keep him down long,// she says to Catch and Anna both.

// your right about that!// Anna grind as she flies around the two brothers now.

A big grind was on the Dreamer prince face, this was what he was hoping for, there was no tricks, no emotion magic needed, this was all Weaver " that there is! It's pretty big " he rubbed the back of his neck as he smiled " well its more than pretty big, it's really big, I asked the Queen and you got one the best place you can get, she said if you continue to have good behavior and be trusted you can add more things if you ask "

Dreameater actually starts laughing at that. "I can ask for things?! I can just straight up ask for things!! Hahahah!! Things are FINALLY starting to look up!" He casually tosses the tennis rackets back into the shack and then turns back to Catch, spreading his arms out to the side. "It's so good to finally have some payoff for all the times I've stuck up for you guys and have listened to the Vaseterm, and put up with them too--and now I'm almost being treated like a King! Can it get any better than this?!"

// I don't know if I should be happy or Disturbed with him... // the Tiger Fairfin tipped her head after she landed on top of her partner head.

// well ether way it seem both Weaver and Eater are taking this well, as long as Eater knows that his behavior matters and means rewarded or punished It should be more incentive for him to help us out and behave, let's just hope it works out how we were hoping and it make things easier for Weaver...//

Catch shakes his head and Chuckles " it just might, but she also wanted you to know that all this could be taken away to if you go against the rules..." Catch then took his hand and pointed his finger at the Nightmare and Grin " but that not going to happen, your going to keep helping us find ways to help the others and put an end to Soledormir!" He then opened hid hand for his brother to take after his little speech.

"Of course! I'll show her!" Dreameater huffs as he goes forward, grabs Catch's hand in a tight handshake, and then playfully (and lightly) shoulder tackles him. "Just like I'm gonna show Soledormir what he's gonna get for trying to make me his slave! I'll kill all of them, one by one, until we reach Soledormir!!" He starts laughing after that declaration, but it rather quickly becomes something of a more nervous laugh as he pulls away, scratching under his nose. "... I, wait, I mean I'm not going to kill the Vaseterm, especially not the Queen... That's--I would /never/ try that, oh I'd probably get beaten into the floor before I could even get close to her, haha... ha... I just meant that I'll show her how trustworthy I am!" He crosses his arms and tilts his head up proudly. "Honest! I know better than to try something like that... I'm not stupid. And I never lie."

A loud cling sounded behind the boys, the guard was standing in the doorway with her staff in hand that she used to get their attention. She then glare at the Nightmare and followed her arms, she did not say a word but the air around her spoke for her.

Catch jumps at the sound and turn to look // welllll this got Even more awkward real fast // Catch replied with his own nervous Chuckles, he then patted the Nightmare shoulder " yeahhh! Right! ... you knew it was the Queen and the Vaseterm that fought off Soledormir army Right? "

"O-oh, no I didn't know that!" Eater says, tensing up slightly when he hears the clang, and he looks over at the guard as well, "I mean, like I said though, I wasn't saying that I was going to even try to kill the Vaseterm here, I only meant that I was going to prove myself even more as an ally! So no one has to worry about me doing something incredibly stupid. The only one dumb enough to try and attack any of the Vaseterm would be Hiiro after all, but he's just out to kill everyone anyway."

After another nervous chuckle, Dreameater adjusts his hat a little (and Glory makes sure to hang on), and then he clears his throat. "Uh... So! I should be doing things to prove what I'm saying is true! So... I still gotta make plans on who I should go visit and try to help first, there's a steak with my name on it that's being made right now--Hey brother, how about you let me get changed, maybe you can order something for yourself too? Then maybe we can sit and talk about what to do?"

" yeah, that sounds like a good plan, you have plenty of time to check out the rest of your backyard later " the Dreamer prince then wave a hand to head back in, he gave the female Vaseterm a sheepish smile as he walked by her and headed to the main room again.

Dreameater slowly makes his way back in, following Catch by going through the bigger door that connects straight to the hallway. From there, he goes back to the main room just to get the rest of his clothes that he left on the bed, and he heads to the bathroom to get changed. He needs a little help from Glory getting the tight vest off of him, the one that was put on him to prevent him from using his chains.

Once he's done and he's dressed up again in his usual attire, he comes back to the main room, though he's holding a royal purple and gold-embroidered scarf in his hands. "Hey, why is this still with my stuff?" he asks, "I know Terra gave it to me and said it was from Osiris, something about it'd help me with being out in the city with Malice's spell and all, but why wasn't it returned to Osiris while I was out?"

Dreamcatcher and Rihanna had made their way back into the main room and was waiting for the Nightmare to get back from getting dressed.

Catch tips his head and rub the back of his neck " Osiris said it belongs to you now, he just told me it something the previous owner would have wanted " he then looked up and pondering outloud " but that was Faolan Dream? " with a playful short chuckle " wouldn't it be funny if you were the descendant of Faolan dream? "

" I mean people are starting to say that " Anna chime in as she tapes the side of her head " honestly, I could see it, I mean Catch is a prince after all so why not " she shrugs.

Dreamcatcher shrugs at her and then looks back to the Nightmare and said " the Vaseterm have done some studies while you were out but there also been a lot on everyone plates right now... but I know Hagatha would like to look into it more... " a goofy nervous face "and others things.."

"Huh?" Dreameater says first, he huffs as Catch and Anna both explain, and then he laughs a little with disbelief. He flips the scarf up around his neck and lets the two ends of it float around. "Ha! Me? A prince!? A descendant of Faolan Dream?! Ha ha! I guess if Osiris wants me to keep it, I'll take it, but they must be crazy to think I'm some royal idiot! There's no evidence of that, or are they..." The Nightmare goes quiet, feeling that sense of de-ja vu again and staring at Catch with a hard thinking look. //What am I trying to remember? There was something.......? What am I trying to remember? There was something...//

"You'll have to ask Hagatha when she inevitably shows up," Morning Glory tells him.

"... Who's Hagatha?" Eater then asks, looking between his Fairfin and his brother.

Catch just frowned at the comment about Royal idiot but he didn't make a reply on that.

However when Hagatha got brought up again the Dreamer prince gave a goofy face " she the leading professor here studying Nightmares and other forms of corruption "

" she's a bit eccentric, but she seem to mean well " Anna added.

Catch then pointed to were the Nightmare food on the table, he put it there while he was getting dressed. The food would have a Dome silver led over it to keep the food warm and fresh. " don't forget to try that before getting to carried away with anything else "

Catch had went ahead and ordered something for himself and the Fairfin to we'll his brother was away.

Dreameater briefly wonders if Hagatha is some kind of old hag purely because of her name, but he's happily distracted by the mentioning of food. "Ahhhh yes, I could smell it before I even got done changing!" he said, then he headed over to the table where the food was at, and he and his brother and their Fairfin sisters had a good meal. He tried to make comments a couple times about how he sort of felt hungry, but he felt like he should be hungrier than he actually was, and that's where he learned that he had a feeding tube up his nose while he was sleeping to prevent him from going into a frenzy. While that distracted Dreameater from eating his steak just long enough to rub his nose, he eventually gave up trying to eat and talk at the same time, and proceeded to wolf down the rest of his steak. "Man! That was good," he says after he's finished, "Though I still feel like I could eat more, even with how big that steak was." He leans back in his chair with his hands behind his head, and a grin slowly creeps across his face. "... I can always order more, can't I?" he rather proudly says as more of a statement than a question, but then he does glance back at Catch and genuinely ask, "Uh... They're not gonna run out of meat anytime soon though, are they? I mean... Nah, they wouldn't.... Right?"

Dreamcatcher and Anna ate at a leisurely pace, they had actually eaten before hand but they ate for more of the recreation and the Fellowship of it.

" I'm sure you can order a lot " Catch replied after finishing his snack " they feed a small city on the main land..." he pause that Catch knew he told Weaver but he couldn't remember if it got mentioned to Eater " this facility on a island, it's pretty big in itself and a lot of the staff practically live here, that just here, the main Palace is even bigger and has a lot more people then the one we were staying at..." he went quite with that, the Dreamer prince was thankful that it seem Victoria had the main city in secret for her people sake... but he got back on track of the topic " so I don't think they run out any time soon... at least at the moment, most of Soledormir forces have been forced on the city we were at so I'm not sure yet how that going to effect the Vaseterm food chain "

"Well, that's good," Dreameater says, relaxing more and smirking again, "I'll just have to get used to the whole ordering system."

The two boys and the Fairfin sat and talked for a while after that. With Eater having brought up that he feels like he could eat more, Morning Glory fetches some snacks for him, and explains that these snacks are specially made for Nightmares to help satisfy their hunger. Malice shared the recipe for them and then the Vaseterm worked more with that, and now they've made multiple variations of it. Some of them are gummy snacks, some of them are hard, there's even the marshmallows that Anna toasted earlier. Glory explains he can try different ones to see how they work and if he likes them, and Eater starts with the marshmallows. Judging by the weird face he makes as he's chewing it, they all kind of figure it must taste strange, but now they'll have to see how it affects him. From there, they talked about how the other has been doing, and then about Eater's new room, and the Nightmare says he'll have to see if there's anything he'd like to move around after a while. He's also curious about his pen, and a little more of Weaver can be seen when he seems to get curious and excited about what all there is for him to find out there.

It wasn't long after that, the 5 of them would hear a ring from the panel on the door, the woman guard went over and push the button and the male guard voice came though intercom " Hagatha and Trevor are here "

The lady guard turned her head to the small group.

" dun dun dun " Anna looked to the door and then to Eater and said in a eerie teasing way " The time has come~ "

Catch made a goofy Face " well, you were asking about her not to long ago, now you get to meet her! " he clap his hands on the table as if to get up.

Dreameater lifts his head to look at the door when the visitors are announced, then he raises an eyebrow at Anna, and finally he looks back to Catch and nods his head. "I'm not gonna have to worry about her whacking me with something like Nora did, am I?" he asks in both a teasing and serious tone as he gets up.

"Mmmm, I don't quite think so..." Morning Glory answers, flying up to Eater's shoulder again, "In some ways you could say she's like Nora, but she's not at the same time. And she's got her husband with her too, they both work well as a team."

"Ok..." Dreameater mumbles, moving to stand more in the middle of the room. He seems suspicious, but not terribly on edge. He looks to the guard lady and asks, "Uh, I take it you'll get the door, right?"

The Dreamer prince followed his brother to the middle of the room, he was a little nervous on how this would turn out, Eater had been pretty good with people so far but she was a bit different from others...

The guard nodded her head at the Nightmare, she then opened the door.... standing in the doorway was shorter odd Vaseterm female, she had her own vision of a lab coat dark purple with puff sleeves and highly decorated like most Vaseterm clothes, her horns were different to say the least and like most Vaseterm the women looked to be quite youthful in her appearance, no older then her twenties to early thirties. Hagatha held a skulking look on her faces
As she focused down at a screen she was holding, watching a video that had been playing over and over upon her arrival however when the door was fully opened snapped her head dramatically towards the Nightmares Direction, her glare quickly shifted into a big grind which complemented with her odd glass and overall appearance could be taken different ways...

"And here we go..." Catch whispered only enough so his brother could hear...

Hagatha zip over to them, she zip to one side and then to the next, stopping only for a brief second and she took down notes and muttered " fascinating! .... truly fascinating specimen indeed!..." she stopped her zipping around and stood in front of the Nightmare, she looked up at him as she push up her glasses " only to think your a year old and are this good looking even awake?! Truly this must because of the leaning evidence of your bloodline, fascinating! truly fascinating!"

Dreameater watches the odd woman as she comes in, watching her with his eyes mostly until he has to turn his head. He stays quiet, even when she finally does say something, he just stares at her with the same suspicious, confused look he had before.

However, a human man follows behind the Vaseterm, a man with blonde hair, a blonde handle-bar mustache, brown eyes, a white lab coat, yellow pants, and a bee patterned tie. "Honey, I know you've memorized everything in his files, but remember, he doesn't know the slightest thing about you. Don't you think you should start by introducing yourself?" the man says to the woman, and then he smiles faintly, waves a hand at the Nightmare, and says, "I'm doctor Trevor, my specialty is treating corruption and diseases. This is my wife."

Hagatha was on a roll filled with her excitement, she pointed the end of her pen at the Nightmares face " Trevor! Did you notice he tracks with his eyes! It's fascinating! he only a year old! " but then she realized what her husband said to her...

All the excitement she had moments ago trun off " yes, yes, you are right one again dear, I have gotten caught up in my research once again" Hagatha took her fingers to the bridge of her glasses and push them up more as she stared at the nightmare " I am doctor Hagatha, I am the leading scientist when it comes to Nightmares within the silver Spears Clan " now that was out of the way her smile came back as she lean forward and fiddled with her glasses some more " and you are both Dreameater a Nightmare and Dreamweaver a dream! Truly a fantastic discovery!! "

Dreameater just stares at Hagatha... //It's weird being called one year old...// he thinks, but for the most part, he isn't sure how to take anything yet. //She called me Dreamweaver... I'm not Weaver! But she also called me Dreameater... I am Eater... But she called me both? I'm not Weaver... I know he's in my head, but... I...// He glances over at Catch briefly and sees his brother shrugging and making a goofy face at him. He then looks back at Hagatha and slowly asks, "What... Do you want? From me?"

Morning Glory gently pats Dreameater on his shoulder where she's sitting. //Oh, he's so confused... I don't know whether this is kind of funny, or kind of pitiful,// she telepathically says to Catch and Anna.

A shine lighted Hagatha's glasses with the Nightmare question and she eagerly replied " I want to study you! Never before have I had the opportunity of a specimen quite like yourself! All the others Nightmares we have to restraint so they don't attack as I do my research, but you! I can walk around freely! You Even know that I know you are a Nightmare and yet do not show signs of hostility! Even more fascinating is that you know we all know you are a Nightmare and yet you still containing your Darkness! You are simply stupendous! The why and how this is all possible! You are groundbreaking! Perhaps even the missing link the silver Spears has been searching for these past 20 thousands years! I want to know everything about you! All of you! Both Dreameater and Dreamweaver! "

Catch just held the same face he had been since the woman arrived, he wasn't sure how the Nightmare would take any of this // yeahhhhh.... usually it's been Eater to dump a lot on someone but I think Hagatha got him beat...//

Anna was on top of her brother head, she had been trying to give the hyperactive woman the Slowdown gesture // we had a feeling she be this way... I'm just glad Weaver was able to wake up in peace//

Dreameater just continues to stare...

Trevor comes up beside his wife with a pen and a clipboard of his own, and having noticed the look on Eater's face, he speaks up and asks, "Would you mind allowing us to study you for a while?" then he pokes his wife's shoulder with the end of his pen and tells her, "Don't overwhelm him, honey."

"I wouldn't mind," Eater replies, seeming to get a bit more comfortable when Trevor gets his attention, but then he quickly turns his eyes back to Hagatha.

Getting back to following along, Crystal thought about what Fiona went on to say, “I’m glad to have had the time to talk more too,” she replied softly, smiling faintly at the next bit of positivity.

The girl carried quite a bit of guilt about her lack of communication with many of the others.. She wanted to fix that, at least as well as she could, but getting the courage to do so was difficult and would take time..

Taking a moment to think about the next question to surface, Crystals fingers fiddled together while in thought. “I don’t know..” She replied at first, then added, “It would be nice to see him wake up, but what matters most is him resting and getting help..”

She paused again, than decided to say, “It’s crazy to think they were actually able to wake up Weaver though.. I didn’t get to know him very well before what happened to him, but I’m glad he’s not truly gone.”

(Hi Galaxy! How're ya doing? :3 )

( Hi Galaxy!! )

(Hey there!
I’m doing alright, although, if I’m being honest, feeling a bit stressed.. My dad caught Covid, then a day or so later my mom started not feeling well and my littlest sister woke up with it this morning too.

My other sister is still okay, and so am I, I think, but it’s just a big oof. X3

How are you guys doing? ^^)

(Hey Galaxy!

Ooh, that's not good at all... I completely get being stressed about that. :s
I'll be sure to keep you and your family in my prayers!

I'm doing pretty good! It's going to take a while for me to get used to a different schedule, but I'm very thankful to be able to spend more time awake during the day. -v-)

(Ooooh, that is a big oof :s I hope you'll still be able to take it easy, at least somewhat, that's difficult, though ;-; I'll be praying for you and your family!!

I'm doing good! RPing is fuuunn~)

( oh no! That really does smell and is stressful :/
I know when Covid was going though my family it only effect half, me and my brother, my mom and dad were fine. The same happened to my coworker a bit ago, his wife and daughter got it but him and his son didn't. Covid weird. I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers!!

Im doing pretty good! A bit tired from working yesterday but other then that I'm having fun working on posts!

It took a lot of self control for Hagatha to hold back, but her husband was right she was overwhelming him...

The Vaseterm scientist cleared her throat and stepped back, she displayed a much more professional demeanor ( for now ) " very well... there is much we need to do and study, there is interrogations, field studies on abilities and skills, but for now how are you liking your living quarters?"

"My room?" Eater repeats in his own words, then slowly takes his eyes off of Hagatha to look around his quarters again. "I like it, it's so much more than I was expecting. When I saw the big door and the scan room, I was half expecting it to just be a bigger version of what I had before, just a super secure room with not much in it. But it's actually got stuff in it this time, and really nice stuff at that!" He looks down at the two types of floor between the left and right side of the room, over at his bed, then at the dining area. Finally, he puts his hands in his pants pockets and smiles faintly back at Hagatha. "It doesn't feel like I'm in a prison cell, I think I'll be really comfortable here."

Although, his smile does fade away as he stands there. //... I'm still missing something, though...// he thinks, but then the Nightmare tries to change his train of thought to something else. "You wanna interrogate me about stuff? And my abilities... I do fire. I have a sword, too, you wanna see it?"

(Ah, thank you, guys. I really appreciate it. ^^

And that's good, I’m glad to hear you guys are overall doing good too~)

"Right! He really needs his rest, too! Especially after /everything/ that happened to the poor guy... It's awesome that he can sleep without too much trouble now, though.

Even if he doesn't when we visit, maybe we can figure out something to help him out when he does wake up...?"
Fiona rambled a little more about Crimson, then went quiet for a moment, thinking about the update Glory had just given them with Weaver, Catch, and Anna as well.

"Yeah! I'm really glad for that, too... The same goes for him as for Crimson! He's /really/ needed sleep too, without any of those weird Nightmare side-effects..." The Elemental made a disgusted face at the very mentioning of 'Nightmare side-effects.'
"I never got to know Weaver a lot before /that/ either, but I remember waayy back in Howaito, I promised Purity we'd find a way to bring him back...
And now we know he's here!
...I'm really glad to know all the weird niceness Eater had since we got here was actually Weaver, too."

Hagatha was taking notes of the Nightmare behavior and comments about his room, but it was when he brought up about his fire and sword that she light up again with excitement " oh yes! Show me! "

However by the demeanor of the Guard she wasn't about to let them test Inside, she stepped forward and was about to say something when the Dreamer prince chime in before things got heated.. " pardon dr. Hagatha but don't you guys have a facility design for testing? " Catch politely asked.

"I do believe it would be better to test his abilities there instead of his brand new home," Trevor also adds on to what Catch says, "Though I'd wonder if we should interrogate him first, get that out of the way first?"

Dreameater just looks between everyone as they speak up, and he shrugs. "... I'm willing to do whatever you guys need," is all he has to say on the matter.

Crystal simply nodded at Fiona’s replies about Crimson, she wasn’t sure what they could do, what would help or be useful, but if they did do something, surely they would eventually figure it out.

When Glory’s message came through, she just tilted her head a bit as a faint mix of emotions crossed her face. And then she listened to the Elemental go on about the Weaver and Eater situation, which made the girl think about the whole thing in general and eventually lead her to one set of thoughts in particular. Crystal had gotten used to Eater, and in some ways she knew him better than she knew Weaver.. But knowing that some, if not most, of the positive things about Eater we’re because of Weavers influence was certainly odd. It made her wonder who she was technically friends with.. Was it Eater, or was it Weaver?

“At least we’ve been able to kind of keep one promise so far.. And I agree, having those answers is nice.” She commented.

Hagatha look between everyone and then grind big as she said " Splendid interrogations it is!! This way please!" Without a beat she turned around and headed to the door.

Dreamcatcher signed and rubbed the back of his head, he then gave his brother a ' well here we go ' look, he then patted Eaters shoulder " well this I'm sure will be interesting..."

(Poor Crystal, that is something to wonder about with Eater :'D )

(It is. ;w;)

Dreameater smirks faintly at Catch when he comes over, and says, "Ehh, it probably won't be that bad. I can answer questions. That lady just confuses me, though..."

Dreamcatcher and Dreameater go through the scan once more on the way out, and afterwards they follow Hagatha and Trevor with all their guards and escorts with them.

"Yeah! We've got one in progress!" Fiona agreed with a little smile, "...I hope we'll be able to talk to Weaver more. I think so long as you don't bring him up, it's easier to get Eater to do weird-nice things... That aren't actually weird now... Because it's Weaver.

...I'm gonna have to get used to that."

"Just so you two know, we're almost there. Any preferences on what to eat?" Kyle called out, glancing back to the two.

Their surroundings would have indicated this as well, as the number of Vaseterm passing by them was steadily increasing--the hallway was about to open up, too.

"Oh! Hmmm..." Fiona had to think for a moment, "...Oooh, I know what I'm gonna get!
But what about you, Crystal?"

Even though she tried not to Hagatha still ask a few questions along the way, she was practically bouncing with energy as the group traveled down the hallways.

Catch wave and nodded to anyone they passed by, he had been doing his best to try to remember people names and to be polite. For Eater he and Anna point out things he had learned from the Vaseterm about this place, what hallways he knew lead to what and to make sure you don't run in the hallways our you likely get shot by the by the turrets.

Small talk got passed around, how time zone was here, the weather and when they passed the hallway that was in Crimson directions he was brought up to.

It was a bit of a walk but the group made it to the interrogation Center, Eater was told that this particular room the others could not go in with him, so from there the guards lead him though the security system and then into the room.

It was a white room just how you imagined a interrogation room would be, there was a silver table that was infused with the floor, a few chairs, and of course cameras in defense turrets.
Two guard were already posted in the room and more waited outside of it. And sitting in one of the chairs already was Vaseterm half blood. He was a kind of Minotaur looking species but he was smaller and less muscular then what normal Minotaur were known for, he introduced himself as Angus Beefalo, he was part of the Detective department.

Dreameater tips his hat to Angus, and then introduces himself as well. "Dreameater Whitesoul, sir. Would you want me to sit here too?" he respectfully asks, not wanting to do anything without permission here.

“I hope so too.” Was all Crystal said before Kyle piped up.

She glanced over at Fiona when she declared that she knew what she wanted, but when questioned, Crystal realized she hadn’t been thinking enough about the fact that they were supposed to get food.

“Oh.. um..” She made a little face and looked around a bit, trying to think quickly, “I don’t know yet, but I’m not picky. All the food here has been pretty good so far anyway.”

She thought again for a second, then curiously asked, “Do you have any recommendations?”

Dreamcatcher and girls, along with doctors were taken to a different room, there they could observe the Nightmare from behind the safety of a Shield magic wall.

Dreamcatcher couldn't sit, he stood with his arms crossed as he wach his brother, he was honestly nervous and concerned on just what the Nightmare would tell them.... they knew Weaver side of things but what was the Nightmares?...

Hagatha found that most fascinating how the Nightmare used his Dreamer last name, she took. notes of everything.

------

Angus nodded to the set across from him and replied " yes please sir Whitesoul, I would like you to be comfortable as we talk "
He would wait until the Nightmare sat himself down before asking this question " can you tell me a little about yourself sir Whitesoul? "

"I dunno if you like salads--but I'm totally gonna get that chicken-fruit-salad! I haven't tried it yet, but it has fruit... It's gotta be good!" Fiona suggested, "I think that place has sandwiches, too."

Kyle waited for Fiona, then smirked, piping in with his own suggestion, "The steakhouses are my favorite. There are a few to choose from, but all of their cuts are massive and cooked to perfection."

The passerby around them soon turned into crowds.

Dreameater sits at the table, sitting upright with his hands folded together on the table. //... Wait, he's calling me Whitesoul? That's Weaver's last name... That's the name I gave him, though? That's my last name? ... No, that's Weaver's last name! What's my last name?// the Nightmare thinks to himself, staring intently at Angus and not answering his question. He narrows his eyebrows a little bit as he keeps thinking. //I don't have a last name, my name is just Dreameater... Should I make myself a last name? I don't know, I never thought about it before, Dreameater was good enough until now... I'll have to think of something cool... Wait, what was the question? He wants to know about me, that's right, but... If he's calling me Whitesoul, is he wanting to know about Weaver? Was he trying to ask Weaver that question? Well then I'm going to tell him about myself!//

Finally, Dreameater tips his head up a little and smirks as he begins to answer, saying, "I'm a Nightmare. My name is /just Dreameater,/ I'm a Pyro with a slow torture and eating alive hunting style. I prefer to hunt alone, and I target prey that's also alone. I enjoy the screams of women the most..."
... But as he keeps going, the smirk on his face disappears, being replaced by a more disgusted and unnerved look. At one point he crosses his arms close to his chest. "... A-and sometimes... I feel weird, but I know what that is now, it's Weaver--my former self--but I'm still going to do as I please, regardless of how sick he makes me feel...!" By this point, he's got quite the grumpy tone in his voice and on his face.

" I really hate Eater..." Rihanna world growled.

This was what Dreamcatcher was afraid of...As Dreameater went on about himself it sickened the Dreamer prince, he knew Eater was evil but how he was around the group he sometimes didn't come off as much, but he always knew there was more that was unseen and told... // were going to separate this monster from you Weaver...//

Hagatha was taking everything from a science perspective and everything what's fascinating, how the Nightmare shifted between how he talked and his posturing was.

-

As the Nightmare went on about himself and what not, Angus listened, as his professions kind of Field he had actually heard and seen worse of a Nightmare hunting storys and just dark creatures, it still was bad but not much could shock or even phase the Minotaur, he took notes about everything and occasionally would take out a handkerchief to wipe his nose...
When the Nightmare had quite down, he took his handkerchief out again wiped his nose, this time making comment about it "my pardon sir Dreameater, I have a bit of a summer cold " he then put his handkerchief away and adjusted his glasses, he was giving time, testing the Nightmare.

“Ah, that does sound good,” The girl said, “I used to eat salads with chicken pretty often, but I never had fruit in them.. If they have sandwiches though, maybe I’ll go with one of those, I don’t think you can go wrong with a sandwich.” Crystal rambled her thoughts a bit, but then looked over at Kyle when he gave his own input.

She smiled very faintly after hearing what he said, “That sounds good too,” she replied, soon moving in and keeping a little closer to the small group as more and more people started to fill in around them.

Morning Glory nods her head, also feeling sickened by Eater's remarks, knowing that her partner is in there, being forced to speak those words... "I do too..." she agrees with Rihanna. Since Catch is holding both her and Anna in his hands for all of this, she curls up next to her sister Fairfin for a bit of comfort.

Dreameater's lip twitches a little, but he pauses before saying anything. "... Y... You're fine," is what he does say, but then he goes quiet again. While he's still crossing his arms close to himself, he seems like he's trying to keep himself from shivering. "Anyway... U-uh... What else is there to say about m-me...? I guess... I guess, concerning my pack... I work with an... an Ancient..." he tries to continue, but he gets frustrated at the shakiness of his own voice, and he curls his hands into fists and slams them down on the table. His breathing is getting harder as he says, "I'm--I'M trying to focus! I'm TRYING to stay in control, but I--I can't con... It's hard, to focus, when you have a DREAMER, you want to KILL, but I can't... get him to stop, I can't get him to stop, I--I can't stop!!"

The Nightmare is shaking, a look of pure horror on his face as he's starting to hyperventilate. "I can't stop!! I CAN'T STOP!! I can't control myself!! Make it stop, please!! I don't want to hurt anyone else!!" he begs...

~

In hearing these words from what is very obviously Dreamweaver, Morning Glory's eyes fill up with tears, and her colors become pale. "Weaver... I'm so sorry, Weaver..." she whimpers and starts to cry, looking between Anna and Catch as she then asks, "Can we please go help him? Oh, please can we help him?"

"Really?" Fiona seemed curious about the fact that Crystal had eaten salads with chicken before. She wondered if the ones she'd had were the same as the ones here... They /were/ in a human world, but... Fiona didn't really think this was the world Crystal had come from. "Yeah, sandwiches are good! I'll let you know how the salad is, too!
...Steak stuff sounds good, too..."

"Heh. If you're having a hard time deciding, we can get a little bit of both." Kyle offered, watching as Crystal and Fiona both started moving more carefully as the crowds thickened.

So, the little group of three did just that. They bought a small assortment to try out foods from both places. Then they found a nice spot to sit, away from as much of the crowds as possible--which wasn't the easiest thing to do, but it wasn't impossible either, considering a lot of Vaseterm were nocturnal, and the palace was massive.

Dreamcatcher couldn't stand it ether, not when his brother was having a panic attack with what Eater had forced him to do, he started for the door when Hagatha put up a hand " just give him a chance, he might not look like much but Angus knows what he doing "

Rihanna hugs her sister and coos holding back her own tears " he going to be ok... were not going to let Eater get away with any of this "

Dreamcatcher bit his lip, wanted to go help his brother just like his sisters, he took his thumb and rub Glory to comfort her " I'll give him this moment but if he doesn't help my brother then I'm going in there "
" that is understandable" she replied as she fixed her glasses, she was hoping Angus could get the situation under control but if he couldn't, she believed the Dreamer prince could...

This conversation could have gone many ways but this one was the most likely with what he knew, Angus reached his hand out in as he did a decorative revolver formed within his hand, he pointed the gun right at Eaters head without even showing the slightest hint of hesitation... " I want you to listen and listen well Dreameater as I'm only going to say this once... the /only / reasons that you have been alive this long has been nothing you have done, you would have been hunted down and butcher like the filth you are! The only reason why we're even talking is because it been Dreamweaver keeping you alive! So if you want to live without him be my guess " he pulled back the hammer to get his point across that he was serious " I'll put a bullet though your head right now "

Crystal answered all of what Fiona said with a nod and soft, but glad sounding, “Mhm.”

When Kyle gave his offer, her eyebrows raised thoughtfully, not having considered that option. She worried it would be a bother to do so, but as they went through with the idea, it didn’t seem like it was, and that was a nice little reassurance.

The girl had gotten quiet and noticeably nervous while they made their way through the crowds and to the food, doing her best to just keep up and stick with the two others. Thankfully though, after the group found a slightly calmer area to sit and eat, she soon relaxed again.

Morning Glory just hugs Anna and cries, much like she's done before... But, she doesn't cry quite as hard as she has done before, because this time, she has more hope, and her friends are with her.

~

The Nightmare looks up when he notices Angus moving, and he stares in shock when he's suddenly looking straight down the barrel of a pistol. "Wha--?!" is all Weaver's able to gasp, before Eater's survival instinct kicks in again, and he finds himself unable to speak. He sits there, frozen in place in his chair, staring unblinking at Angus and his gun, and practically holding his breath.

Fiona and Kyle both ensured that they all stuck together as they went... Even with the Elemental still being rather awe-struck at the size and extravagancies of the palace.
She had actually ordered both a salad and a steak--big ones of both... Once she knew she could do that.
And Kyle had gotten a steak, which he seemed happy about.

After they all found a place to sit, Fiona gave Crystal a smile, hoping this spot would help with how nervous she seemed.
The Elemental thanked Kyle for the help, then said a short prayer of thanks to the Silver Moons before starting to eat.

"So... Crystal..." She started off, on a new topic at first, "Do you have a favorite food? Or a favorite kind?" She popped half a strawberry in her mouth, then blinked at the combined taste she was trying.

Angus holds his posture, he wasn't done yet, but now he has both of theirs attention " good, now I'll make myself clear sir Whitesoul, if Dreameater so much plans or commits any form of murder or torture against a other soul, mark my words whatever it is he done it will be done twice in full to him, what you had to endure was horrendous but you will not have to endure that anymore without hope of justice being done, even if Dreameater try to fle I will personally lead the head hunt against him. ..." the minotaurs voice was as cold as ice as he said " ..Dreameater I will kill you, so did I make myself clear?"

"..... Yes! Y-yes, sir!" Dreameater quickly replies, still not moving a muscle, though he does finally blink a couple times. "I understand sir, you can put the weapon away..."
But his mind is still trying to wrap itself around, well... Everything. //What--what's happening?? What--He's trying to kill me!? What?! He wants to kill me! He says he's going to kill me! I do not want to speak to him anymore! W-wait...//
