Eddie had been dreaming that she could fly. She was flying across cities, oceans, and islands, enjoying the feeling of freedom and the wind in her hair. Suddenly, gravity landed her, causing her to fall rapidly towards the ground. She screamed, only to blink and find herself in a white and black room.
Across the room, there was a figure, obscured by shadow. Eddie paused, realizing that she could control each and every action she took.
"I'm lucid dreaming..." Eddie said, paying hardly any attention to the figure at first. Whenever she came to the realization that she was lucid dreaming, she always loved attempting to control reality.
However, upon the realization that she couldn't, a pit grew in her stomach.
"This...This isn't a dream?" Eddie gulped. The figure motioned for her to take a seat, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was the demon attached to her soul. She took her seat, her hands shaking slightly.
Hello Edwina, it is quite the pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. My name is Sly, I'm the spymaster of mercury's masks. Though, he does tend to confuse my caution for insanity... Quite the bother that one is at times.British accent? Eddie realized instantly. She always found British accents unbelievably attractive. Gulping slightly, she began to realize there was only one way that Sly could be talking to her.
"A-Are you on my face?" Eddie squeaked, instantly reaching up and pulling at her skin, hoping to wake up. Instead, she remained fast asleep, moving only in the dream.
I brought you here by your touching me whilst you sleep. Quite fortunate for both of us you're starting to become more relaxed around us. As it will start to become a nuisance if you keep acting so squeamish. We're clean no blood or guts attached. You're not afraid of touching ivory are you? think of our masks as pure ivory from now on. Should help you out some in theory anyways. Eddie practically whimpered, and held her head in her hands. Her ginger curls were quickly seized up in her fingers, and she rocked back and forth slightly in the chair, trying her hardest to think about anything
but the masks. Still, the awake Eddie began to shift, her heart accelerating and her grip on Mercury tightening in terror.
Edwina, you wanted to know what was going on inside of Mercury yes? well, it's rather hard to explain. whatever Tia did to our shadowy friend seems to have created a hole inside of him. a hole that needs to be fillled . every four hours that hole remains empty is when it starts to grow. causing mercury untold amounts agony. as the hole is beginning to devour him, and slowly drive him to doing things he'd never normally do. such as eating those gang bangers earlier this morning. I'll now be answering your questions.Eddie glanced up, looking at the file. Trying her best not to hyperventilate, Eddie removed her head from her hands, biting her lip hard. She'd always been an incredibly squeamish person, fainting in biology labs and unable to take classes in college that involved bones. Death and decay always set her off--the remains, for her, were torture.
"I...um...What do I need to do?"
