[EVENT] A NEW WORLD ORDER

Characters: ALL!
Date: December 8, 2015 (with some starters for the following weeks)
Location: Keeliai, the Midnight Hotel, others
Situation: The Foreigners have awakened.
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.

They've been in the Dreaming for so long that when they wake up their bodies feel more like automatons, alien and ill-fitting. They haven’t atrophied, thanks to Milyn, but they’re stiff and a little bedsore, and the solidity of the Life Plane is jarring. Here, the surroundings don’t move on a whim. Here the world is more stable, almost harsh and unyielding in spite of the homey surrounds.

It’s been a year, says the clock on the mantle and on the second floor. Says Milyn, too, when she’s able to stop hugging them long enough to speak.

Nothing much has changed in the Midnight Hotel. There are dishes out of place, objects belonging to either Milyn or Eva in evidence, the diorama exactly where it had been but now brightly-painted thanks to Milyn's boredom. Milyn and Eva took a room each, in the time the Foreigners were sleeping, though neither used them much.

Eva’s upstairs, Milyn will tell anyone who asks. In her room.

Eva hasn't left that room in three days. She hasn't spoken in three days, either, or walked, or moved, or breathed. Her effects are neatly arranged around her bed, and the sheet has been pulled up. There is heavy incense in the room and Milyn has managed to preserve the body enough to remove the risk of too much mess (and other things). In a way, that makes it worse: as though Eva is sleeping. It’s difficult to tell whether Milyn is in denial or whether spending three days with no one to talk to other than sleeping Foreigners and a corpse has had its influence.

"And that's why the accusations came from the one guy who knew him back at their home." He's paranoid, but it's justified, dammit! "Eh, I should probably ask the guy what's going on."

"Besides, of all the dreams I'd want to talk about, that's not exactly high on my list right now." Well, if he has to change the subject, this is as good as anything. "I mean, I wasn't going to bring it up, but I have some pretty clear memories of you kissing me."

"Oh, really?" Valdis raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, managing to appear both annoyed and skeptical at the same time, "And why in the world would I kiss you?"

She had, but that wasn't the point. The point was that she would deny having done so to her dying breath.

"You tell me. We talked about you for a bit, then you got all weird and kissed me." So then, it was a dream. That explains a lot, but then what does it mean? Could he be in love?

"But it can't be you. The woman in my dreams was way too nice." But that won't stop him from being an ass.

Valdis wasn't going to tell him anything, especially not after that last comment.

"Well then," She replied, "That should have been a dead giveaway."

She was honestly tired of her current mental state, these emotions felt wrong. She needed to get back into the game and forget about feelings.

"You're honest though, I'll give you that." Dante loved feelings. Feelings were great. Feelings are what made people human. But Dante wasn't good at expressing them.

"So I got a little stressed out and had a bit of a daydream, then. Well, that's good to know." He mused aloud. "So as long as that's cleared up, we don't have that much else to talk about."

She opened her mouth to comment about how daydreams occurred when you were awake, but decided it wasn't worth her time to correct him.

"I suppose not," She replied, holding the teapot close, "I'll see you around then." She turned away, heading back into the hotel to find a safe place to keep Wan's gift.

Dante nodded, and watched Valdis walk away. That... could have gone better. If he was anything but oblivious about what he was doing wrong, he'd be damning his own mouth. But instead he simply shrugged and made a mental note to do something different next time.
