Random Bystander Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Just now, Lunamor said: “No!” Jenny waved her hand where he had been. Maybe he’d turned invisible again. Maybe he’d woken up. Or maybe this wasn’t the real Terrance. It was just a dream. He had to be fine. He had to. Elsie heard, and sat up, wiping her eyes. "H-hello? Is anyone there?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny looked over her shoulder, not leaving where Terrance had been. Maybe he’d reappear at some point. ”Hi Elsie, it’s Jenny.” Despite her fear, or perhaps because of it, she defaulted to her natural instincts and waved. ”What happened?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Terrance showed up, and this voice was all like 'dont go to the underworld. Also there's a traitor' and then everything went dark, and Terrance slipped. I tried to help him but..." Her eyes started watering. "He'd rather die, apparently." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re dreaming right now, and strange things can happen in dreams.” Jenny didn’t think that was what was probably going on, but she didn’t want to frighten Elsie. She almost asked what she meant by Terrance choosing to die over accepting her help, but figured pushing the subject would just make Elsie more upset. ”The traitor thing we already knew from the prophecy we were given at the beginning of the quest.” Edited March 30 by Lunamor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny wanted to go hug her, try to make her feel better, but she didn’t dare leave her spot. She looked around, straining to find any trace of Terrance. She looked down into the void as well, checking to see if it had changed at all. @The Aspiring Archivist 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’d wait for a while, see if Terrance came back. Hopefully he’d woken up, but she didn’t want to take any chances. 1 minute ago, Random Bystander said: "Jenny?" Do you know if I can leave the nightmare without waking up?" ”I might be able to pull you out of it and into my mind, but I don’t know if it’s any better there. I’m not sure what it would do to Terrance if he’s still in this dream, either. It’s probably safest if you stay here. I won’t let anything hurt you, ok?” All of her powers seemed to be amplified in dreams. Was it what she was truly capable of, or just an exaggeration? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
