Deep Dreams Are Made of These - Open

Who: Keith, Huntress crew, Shiro, open text message
Broadcast: Text
Action: Huntress
When: The night of and morning after the visions/nightmares

[Darkness. Stars. It’s nighttime and the ground trembles. A deep underlying sense of panic permeates everything, tangible in the way your limbs shake and the expressions on people’s faces, though specific features seem to melt away. The darkness turns to red, and the red turns to fire… fire everywhere, uncontrollable and hungry. It burns at your limbs and for a brief second, you see a world-- a planet-- engulfed in a wave of red-orange death.

The background noise is a strange alien wailing, neither male nor female, but it is deep and you find you can almost understand the words. They are strong enough to be word-feelings, which makes them a little hard to concentrate on with the chaos otherwise found in the vision.

<Fire.> <Run.> <Help.>]

on the huntress

[Keith jumped up in bed with a yell, breathing hard. He didn't have nightmares often, but that sure was one. He rubbed his face. Was that... tears? He looked at his hands for a moment, noticing that they were trembling. Keith hesitated, but then eventually reached for the communicator.

After speaking with Shiro, he made his way out to the common area for a bit. He needed to get out of his room. After the common area, he went to the shuttle bay to beat up the punching bag for a bit.]


=====

private to Shiro

are you awake


=====

I'm cool with sharing
especially since this seems less and less like a coincidence when it's this damn many of us

[One would think that, it being the middle of the night (or perceived night anyway, since they're back in deep space with no real day-night cycle), the ship would be quiet with everyone asleep. But Keith's not the only one who gets awoken by bad dreams sometimes, even if they're not sent from an outside source. Usually Mikleo prefers to stay in his room, let Sorey keep him company or just try to get back to sleep, but some nights are spent elsewhere: in the kitchen, in the water room on the Iskaulit, or sometimes, like tonight, in the lounge.

He's tucked away in the corner, reading a book so quietly his presence could easily go unnoticed at first. He looks up as Keith enters, however, surprised at first, then concerned. What's he doing up so late?]


Are you okay?

[He's been avoiding the network since the noticed the nightmare talk, only glancing at it just in case something important may come up. He has his own issues with the topic, so this is one of those few occasions where he won't ramble an inspirational speech when someone needs it.

So yes, he's awake. And a private message, especially one from his dear teammates, won't go unnoticed. He replies pretty quickly.]


Yes, I am. Is everything ok?

It was a planet dying.

I've seen something like that before
hollystrike: (well whatever)

[Katie's just going to attach a picture of a planet engulfed in a fiery red-orange death. It's easier than explaining.]

I agree.

I'd like to compile a complete list of each dream that seems to be out of place. The more details we have, the better chance we have of understanding.

The dream I had involved a forest, and creatures watching me.

[That's right, not text. Video, so you can see Lance's concerned expression and hear the tone.]

You okay, Keith?
the_tailor: (01)

[personal profile] the_tailor 2017-08-28 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause as he thinks over potential options here. Because Keith really does kind of look like shit; he knows that look.]

You're on your ship right now, right?
hollystrike: (Ya alby)

[personal profile] hollystrike 2017-08-28 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry. [As shared dreams go, it's pretty sucky. So that's two, maybe three she knows of.]

Chances are high someone else has as well.

[Lance doesn't respond at first. For a little while, actually. And the next sign of him isn't a message back, but a knock on Keith's door.]

Special delivery for the red paladin!

[personal profile] the_tailor 2017-08-28 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[The special delivery? It's a hug. A big ol' hug. It may not be as good as Hunk's hugs, but Lance likes to think that he's pretty skilled in the art of comforting embraces.]

Hey, buddy.

[personal profile] the_tailor 2017-08-28 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He knew from firsthand experience that hugs always helped while recovering from a nightmare. So, he'll share that with Keith.]

One awesome Lance hug, and at no cost.

[He gives him a squeeze.]
