Ugh... I swear, that thing is trying to get worse and worse...

[Dream Event Post]

*It's a sunny bright day in Domino-- Suguru's just walking, taking a deep breath of the fresh air, looking like she's feeling pretty good about herself.

But... then it starts. Two people on the side whispering, audible despite that.

Isn't that the crossdressing freak?

Suguru stops in her tracks for just a moment, before trying to truck onwards.

I heard they refuse to act like a girl.

I heard it's because their parents are insane.

Does that mean she's insane too?

Look at her, of course she is. They're all insane-- should be locked up.

The whispers keep getting louder and louder, until they're just plain talking. Growing itself from just two people, to many, many more, on all sides. Yelling. All amongst this, clouds have begun to gather in the sunny sky, as Suguru quickens her walking pace to nearly a run.

I heard she can control wind.

I heard she's a demon. Have you seen those eyes?

A poor girl like her? A demon? You speak nonsense.

I bet she'd try to kill us if she had the chance.

Suguru just covers her ears, now into a running speed, just trying to get away from the insults and the pity, gritting her teeth. The wind itself does pick up, as a nasty storm brews ahead. The dream always staying in this point once it reaches it, but always trying to hold back-- just to prove them wrong.

But it definitely doesn't stop the jeering.*

What thing?

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

... just... Some bad dreams, that's that. That are trying to get worse.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Drink a glass of warm milk.

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

... I don't think that'd entirely help in this case.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Why?

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

If it were that easy I'd probably have a lot less nightmares.

"People often say stupid, thoughtless things when confronted with the unknown. It's a regrettable, but unavoidable part of human nature."

At least one person seems to have little interest in adding to the insults and jabs still managing to make their way through the storm. If Suguru would stop to listen, she'd find they came from an older woman garbed in black, her lips pursed in aggravation at the scene before her.

*... she does. Seem to notice that one person is trying to not add to the insults, though her ears are still covered to try to ignore the other jabs. Not that it helps, though, it all seems to pierce through to her.

She stops in her running, looking at her with sheer uncertainty. As though waiting for the moment when the other shoe will drop in her speech.*

"...." The woman, of all things, smiles lightly to Suguru. "Are you scared?"

Re: [Dream Event]

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... she looks down slightly, shivering against the biting wind of the storm, taking a small step back from Flynn.*

Y... Yes...

Re: [Dream Event]

[gailthwhirlwind.livejournal.com]

"It's okay to be scared. To want to run away from them."

She reaches a hand out. "But you don't have to be around me." Unless Suguru objects somehow, she'll place the hand on her shoulder, and the storm suddenly won't feel quite so harsh to her.

"I'm like you."

Re: [Dream Event]

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... ... she lowers her hands slightly from her ears, though she still looks really uncertain. And honestly, very tense. The jeers are still coming, though. Something about a pair of freaks-- of course they'd be together. Should lock them all up.

Suguru obviously grimaces at it.*

... L-like you?

::And you run face first into a female. Demon. Who is totally girly.::

...?

Re: [Dream Post]

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... mfehwjr BACKS AWAY. And stares for a moment.

... and then a look of horror. Oh god, now my head is throwing demons at me?!

She seems to panic slightly as the storm picks up.*

Re: [Dream Post]

[lust-ai-love.livejournal.com]

... What's up with that look of absolute horror, dear. ::Cocks her hip with a hand on her waist, as she smiles pleasurably.::

Re: [Dream Post]

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*She takes a step back, stumbling*

W-what do you want?! Can't you people at least insult me from a distance instead of making me crash into you?!

Re: [Dream Post]

[lust-ai-love.livejournal.com]

... Why would I want to insult you. Honestly I don't even know where I am. Last I remember, I was on top of a giant Demon Penguin Ice Cream Maker.

*... she almost stares to infinity at that but she gets right on back to accusing*

That's what anyone is doing right now! Listen to them!

*... there's still jeers at Suguru, but there's also some jeers going on about that "demon chick", "look at those horns", "she should be skinned, looking like that", and of course, you know, some people openly leering.*

[yourworstdreams.livejournal.com]

Somebody stands in Suguru's path. Someone...familiar.

"Suguru?"

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... she freezes at seeing them, lowering her hands slightly from covering her ears, staring in shock at them. This was admittedly the last person she expected to see.*

G... Geo? What are you...

[yourworstdreams.livejournal.com]

He pulls his jacket a bit tighter. "What's with the storm and..." Glance. "All the people?"

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*What's with this guy?

Do they know the freak?

What if he's a freak too!? Che, always gathering up together!

Suguru closes her eyes, taking a deep breath.*

They're just... Annoyances, that's all. It's nothing for you to bother yourself over... *Oh how she wishes she could just do that.*

[yourworstdreams.livejournal.com]

"Is that so?" He grins.

He then flings a massive fireball at the crowd.

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*They crowd SCATTERS, screaming about the demon attacking them.

Suguru just stares agape, raising her hand slightly to point, as the wind dies down somewhat*

... When. When the hell were you able to still do THAT?!
