Early in the morning Hinata is relaxing on a lounge chair trying to get some sun for her poor pasty-white skin. The woods, despite being rather chilly early in the morning, invites lots of sun shining down from the trees, perfect for what she wants. Something about it all, however, concerns her. She feels a chill in the air, and it's not because she's in a bikini top in the early Spring morning. No, its more of a innate feeling she's getting, like something is wrong.
"The sun... what is this feeling I'm getting? Wh-who's there?"
Despite whatever this feeling that's crawling up her spine, there's absolutely no one out there. No weirdos, no creeps, not even her housemates or lovers, and considering their relative isolation in the massive forest outside of Fairview, there *shouldn't* be anyone out there. Regardless, Hinata shrugs it off the best she can and just continues to try and get some sun. It really is a nice morning after all. Still... something about the sun, she feels internally, is wrong. She just has absolutely no idea what.
Hinata came in later to describe a dream she had. It was confusing, and on top of that, it wasn't captured by The Dream World. It is almost as if this were a long-repressed memory and not a dream.
The morning of, I was woken up by Luna to see the partial eclipse. We both bought glasses for it and was out on the roof to watch it together. When the eclipse actually happened, I felt really unwell. Like my mind was bursting at the seams to escape. I thought about a Mental Lock, like what Luna has, but I don’t actually HAVE those. It was that feeling though, that intense sharp pain coupled with a really bad migraine. Luna noticed I was looking like shit, so we left the roof and went back inside the house.
Fast forward, I remember passing out. I remember waking up somewhere where it was totally cold, but I couldn’t really feel much. I also couldn’t really move my limbs at all. It’s like I was strapped to a table somewhere, but my eyes. That was the weirdest part. I knew my eyes were open. I knew I could hear people talking next to me. But I couldn’t see. I didn’t feel any cloth or tape on my eyes either, like a blindfold - makeshift or not.
I just remember hearing a couple voices. One with Da-- Sol. The other. I know this is going to sound fucking insane but it was Tsukuyomi. Luna’s creator. I remember hearing something. It was hard to make out. I was completely loopy, like I had just gotten off of a roller coaster (I’ve never been on a roller coaster before). Something about…
ALAIS - It’s okay Hinata. If you can’t remember, it is okay.
I- I really don’t remember. I heard the word ‘death’ being thrown around, but-- wait, no no, I do remember something. I felt a really sharp pain in my chest, right around the point where I heard Luna and your voice Ally. But that doesn’t make sense, I was dreaming… right?
ALAIS - Unknown. According to my knowledge, you were next to Luna and being held close.
Hmmm.. what the hell happened? I felt another sharp pain in my mind, but like not a headache. It was closer to something physically hurting me. It had a loud high-pitched whine to it, but for the life of me, I can’t remember what it was. I just know that something was terribly wrong.
I-- I felt something enter me.
ALAIS - Something?
Y-yeah.. Like it was entering my brain and stabbing me, though it’s weird. I felt the touch of a man, almost like he was carressing me while this was happening. Making sure I was safe? But then why hurt me? I’m not unused to torture, it’s happened a couple times when we were assassins, but it’s almost like he was trying to calm me down? That’s when I started to feel more of a tight hug on my chest. I assume that was me starting to pull out of whatever this was.
Luna - Well… I just. Didn’t want to let you go. I promised you that a long time ago. I would NOT let you go.
Th-thanks Luna… you didn’t have to squeeze so hard tho
Luna - ooooops…
We-well. A few minutes later, I remember screaming. I was in a lot of pain, and that’s when my eyes opened. I saw the sun shaped like a crescent moon. I saw the full moon super close up. It was… weird. Contradictory even. The Sun Wasn’t Right that day. And then, a moment later, a blink of my eyes, I found myself next to you Luna.
I still don’t know what I experienced back there. All I know for a fact is it was familiar, scarily familiar to me. I don’t have mental locks… right? Alais?
ALAIS - As far as I can tell, you do not have Mental Locks. It does not compute.
