Leanne yanked her arm away unceremoniously. "Don't touch me. I am not playing with you right now, nor will I ever make plans to. You couldn't possibly have anything I want, anyway. So go outside, Emmie. Enjoy the village. Annoy someone your own age." With a final glare at the girl, Leanne turned on her heel, stalking in the direction of the stairs to take a nap.

She frowned genuinely, her expression that of a kicked puppy. Emmie didn't try to follow this time, standing there and quietly staring at Leanne as she left. Why did no one want to play with her? Everyone seemed so busy or tired, but it wasn't like there was much to do here.

She walked on her toes where her skate stoppers were, carrying herself to the kitchen and making the biggest plate of eggs and bacon you could imagine. She sat on the counter and ate in silence.

Meanwhile, Evan was angrily slamming his notebook into the wall, before just dropping it, and slamminghis fist into the desk angrily.

Slam. Slam. Slam.

"God- f- DAMN IT!"

He screamed, his throat raw.

He slumped back into the chair.

He stared at the picture on his desk, slumped over, now.

The glass was ever so slightly cracked.

He sighed.

"... F*ck."

--

"Oh, come now, Leanne! You're really no fun. Are you really that apathetic?"

Suddenly, Aleksandr stood before Leanne, his smirk gone.

"8 months here and you're like this already. How will you ever live past a few years?"

He chuckled.

"I am trying to keep you sane. Show some gratitude."

He simply smiled sweetly.

--

"Rune Magic? You just kinds... Draw, these, like, runes, on the ground or on yourself- wait, give me a moment-"

Alyssa rolled up her sleeves, revealing the scars, painted with red, carved out sigils into her skin.

"It makes your spells more powerful. Works less here, though..."
Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

"Ah, yes. Run me to the ground so I die before my prime. What a wonderful idea." She nodded sarcastically. "I'm tired. I'm taking a nap."

When the man with the maniacal smile didn't move, Leanne sighed. "Just give me three more weeks. Then I can do your activities again."

She refused to use her condition as an excuse in a sentence, and it was making everything harder. Eight months in, and she still wasn't sure how she felt about the small human growing inside her. She didn't speak of it, didn't change her life to revolve around it, nothing.

But she sure thought about it.

A lot.

"Mhhm...?" Reshen looked through the book as he washed his dishes. What an interesting cast. None seemed to relate to the other in any way or form. He finished and wiped his hands on the poncho. The book shut and fluttered after him as he began to explore the house more. If the stories won't come to you, all you have to do is find them. A good classic hide and seek. The impish bugs beat against the lantern again and he shook it to make them stop. "Right, you. What's going on? Not a fan of your new-" He bumped into Emie, stumbling back. "Oh, dear! Apologies, girl. You're... Emmie? Correct?"

"Look at Evan. That's what happens if you don't constantly work your mind in this place. Three weeks, I can do, but I'm saying this out of concern. Don't skip out on too many of these. You WILL go insane. And I don't want to deal with that."

Aleks smiled.

Leanne shivered. Why did she feel like she was being threatened? Aleks was her friend... albeit, a little annoying and chaotic, but he was her friend. After seven months, he was often the only one there for her. Yet there was an edge to his voice that gave her pause.

"That makes two of us. Madness would be quite inconvenient to have to deal with. And you know how I hate inconvenience. She turned, sidestepping him to walk back up the stairs, pausing to see if he would stop her again. It was times like these when Leanne realized how little she knew about this strange new world.

“Kind of like dreams. The stronger your mind, the stronger the dream. Or nightmare. The deeper your trauma, the deeper your pain, the more intense the energy pulsates within the land of dreams. Dream-creatures from these realities are often more powerful.” Morpheus hummed, half replying Alyssa, half deep in thought. “Doesn’t it hurt? How do you keep drawing runes on yourself after…one or two?”

“I’m not one to judge. Dream-beings are made from a drop of blood of the creator, the life essence of either a happy or unhappy person- depending on whether the being is created from a nightmare or not. Complicated creatures, but easy to control. And immensely powerful, if not draining.” Morpheus rambles on, unperturbed by Leanne’s less-than-friendly stare. She got that a lot, after predicting a terrible tragedy years back, where she still had her own world.

Another short pause, her dreamy stare gazing out into the abyss beyond “The cyborg demigod is not happy. His inventions probably don’t work…or they can’t be built. And Leanne is due to give birth. Sometime soon. Not more than two months now, but surely not within a week. Dear me…I will be falling into mud today. How terribly embarrassing. Perhaps I shall use my cloud to take this lovely village walk that Aleksandr has planned.”

A dream-hand, now done with the dishes, reaches out to pat Emmie on the head. It presented her a with a liquid looking sphere, made of colorful swirly mist and sparkling stars, yet seemingly solid.

Crow-2 gazed at the young girl from a distance, as she slumped onto the counter and wolfed down a huge plate of eggs and bacon impolitely. He has watched the scenario unfold earlier, and although he was more interested in her wheel modifications, he was still concerned about her unhappy demeanor. He knew an unhappy child when he saw one, and he couldn’t help himself but to try cheering her up. Besides, how dangerous could the child be?

However, before he could approach the child, she suddenly stood up from her stool, and dashed into a nearby corridor of the house, crashing straight into a middle aged man who was talking to his lamp……how ludicrous! The man wore a gray poncho, which was incredibly reminiscent of one of Crow-2’s acquaintances. Despite the man’s interruption, Crow-2 decided that the best course of action from here was to gain intel from this house’s very own residents. After all, exploring the house wouldn’t get you very far. Without any further though, he walked towards the odd duo.

"Hurt? No, mis.. It stops hurting after the first few. The trick is to make the first rune be a pain-nullification rune. Advice I should've had when I was young."

Alyssa sighed.

"Have a good nap, my friend. Don't disturb Evan. He might be having another episode. Best to lwave him alone, as he wants us to."

His book flipped open again. Crow-2 approaches the little girl. "Oh!" Reshen turned and waved at Crow-2. "Greetings, folk of Crow. How may I assist you?" Hm, he hadn't seen anyone wearing a mask like that in... well, very long time. That was when they were using leeches as medical equipment. Did they stop? Leeches worked very well.

Crow-2 gave the man a quick bow and asked,“A very good morning to you, my poncho wearing acquaintance. You can address me as Crow-2, and I actually have some inquires about our current location. Say… which region of Eastdime is this?
You see, I got lost in a mist storm earlier on and I seem to have stumbled across this unique house by accident.
Your house owner seemed to have mistook me for one of his guests, so all I’ll need are some energy cores to recharge my mist repeller, which I will gladly pay for, and I’ll be on my way.”

"Oh... I'm afraid you're no long in Eastdime, Crow-2. You're in- well, I'm not sure where you are now." Reshen tapped his chin with his free hand. "But you certainly are not home right now. This is a different world." Reshen shrugged slightly, wanting to say more but refusing to give away anything else. "And no need to call me that, young one. You may call me Storyteller."

"Wrong, tenant! This is not a world, rather the space between worlds!"

Aleksandr popped out of nowhere, and arm around Reshen's shoulder, his signature award winning smile ever present.

"This is my domain! This is no measly world, don't think of me as those measly gods who play by the rules!"

Reshen grunted a bit at Aleksandr's sudden appearance, leaning his hooded head away from his arm. "Careful there, those gods might hear you and strike you down." Praise the shadows, I'll never get used to this! His tome fluttered open and shut in surprise. Feathers and leaves fell out onto the floor.

Different worlds? Gods? Crow-2 was speechless by the mention of such subjects. “My apologies, my good sir, for assuming your age. Besides that, is it really true that I entered another- no, a space between worlds by walking through a mist storm?” Crow-2 questioned the one he now knew as The Storyteller.

It might have been possible, with all those stories of people disappearing into mist storms and never being seen again. Nevertheless, Crow-2 was not one to base his understand of things on just mere fairytales, and further research was required on this.

The more concerning thing however, was the claims of him being in a gap bewtween worlds, a location separate from his world. He had heard of such theories from scholars, but all were shunned and labeled as liars. It was unthinkable that he had just stumbled upon the truth, the one that would bring his world into true and utter chaos.

"Yes. Supposedly." The book floated in front of Crow-2's face, showing him the pages that detailed what was going on, albeit with the format of a fairytale. There was even a picture of Aleksandr and the house colored in sepia and brown tones. "Fret not. I don't believe there're any dangers around. You're safe in this man's realm." Reshen pointed to Aleksandr.

Crow-2 stared at the levitating tome as its pages flipped in his face, revealing a children’s book with illustrated picture of the residents of the house and Crow-2 himself. It wasn’t as shocking as before however, now that he knew of the existence of other worlds. “A book that writes itself and flies without thrusters… and not to mention the lamp you were communicating with earlier. Just what kind of world do you come from Storyteller?”

Reshen smiled at the question. Even after all the worlds he'd hopped through, he still remembered his the fondest. Who wouldn't? "My world is... a wonderful one, Crow-2. Where the folk speak in riddles and try to turn you into groves day by day." Hm. Now that he said it, it didn't sound too lovely. The book reacted to Reshen's words, flipping to the front of its pages. To the first chapter. He reached forward and snapped it shut (with one hand, too) before Crow-2 could glimpse anything inside.

Crow-2 could see that hint of anxiousness in The Storyteller’s eyes, almost as if he wasn’t telling the full story. Nevertheless, he was not offended in the least when The Storyteller slammed his magical book shut. After all, some people had their own secrets that they never wish to reveal, and Crow-2 was just fine with that. “Your world sounds rather delightful as compared to mine, Storyteller. But let’s stay away from the negatives, shall we? Why don’t you introduce me to the handsome fellow that rules this world?” Asked Crow-2 as he pointed to the man standing behind The Storyteller.
