[color=#0096c8][u][h3]Radcliff[/h3][/u][/color] Radcliff was still catching his breath when a couple of girls told him to calm down... in a rather strange way. [quote][color=c92c65]"This is just a dream. So chill out."[/color][/quote] [quote][color=ed145b]“...just a dream. Chill out.”[/color][/quote] He pinches himself, just to make sure. It certainly doesn't feel like a dream, but then... what could it mean, to have woken up here? Where were his friends? A kidnapping doesn't make any sense, never mind the lack of restraints, and this isn't like any hospital he's seen before. There wasn't any medical equipment in sight, and he's pretty sure hospitals don't use bunk beds. The most likely explanation was that someone found him, washed up on shore... and no one else. He covers his mouth with a hand, as if to keep the violent scribbles he calls thoughts in his head. The idea that they were just... gone--- it didn't feel real to him, yet, and the possibility that it was was terrifying, like- well, like a looming tsunami on the horizon. Was he supposed to just pretend things were fine for now? That the wave wouldn't come for him? Ignoring it seemed like it'd make it hurt more. Then the guy by the door drives home his fears just by pointing out the obvious, and he can't keep from gritting his teeth behind his hand. If they died, then...

Chill out.”[/color][/quote] Waking up here was most certainly not a dream. His dream had been about the god of love, and when it ended, he woke up here. He's yet to experience anything so contrived as a dream within a dream, and while consecutive dreams are typical, they don't really happen after taking a Seed of Eden. Also, unlike some people he's met before, he's never failed to recognize the difference between dreams and reality. He supposes that there's a first time for everything, but doubting reality just because someone told him to is no way to live. As he considers how to approach an unreceptive audience with things they do not want to hear, something he's had plenty of practice doing, a young boy wordlessly gets out of bed and walks through the open door he had been heading towards previously. Hmm... In regards to everyone else, he could just ignore them, though if they're other believers, they might be sticking around, and it would probably be better to disavow them of any misunderstandings. Other people don't remember their dreams as well as he does, so they have a tendency to get confused by what they see after taking a Seed of Eden. [color=#fa7d32]"This isn't a dream."[/color] Now, as he has had practice doing, it is time to leave before they can beat him up. He follows the young boy through the door, answering the call of fate.
