((Hey guys, this is hotbotishot, on my other account. I was trying to change my account email and I got a message saying that they'd send me a validation email before i could post again, and i never got that e-mail

so anyways i'm just going to continue posting on my old account, hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience to anybody.))

A double portion of shock washed over Helthaann's face as his mouth hung slightly agape. Both from the realization that Dawn was just spewing crap all over their minds, and that there was somebody completely different standing in the spot where Glick had been.

He swallowed what he had to say and instantly wanted to try it for himself. He sat down immediately and crossed his legs, trying to replicate on what had been demonstrated by the holograph.

Lightening momentarily illuminates the dark landscape. Dark clouds swirling became momentarily visible. A lone figure stands abnormally tall, illuminated by a brilliantly luminescent dagger in one of his hands. A disfigured creature appears in the next momentary light provided by lightening. It spots the figure with the dagger and immediately charges him, teeth and claws shining, ready for battle. Just as the two are about to collide in mortal combat, there is a blinding flash of light...

There was a sudden burst of light and Helthaann felt his limbs twist and contort, growing long and spider-like. His previous plain attire had been replaced with a black hooded robe and hanging from his belt was the dagger he had gotten from his father, across his back was a staff made from a light wood (rowan).

He attempted to get up and stretch his limbs, but was somewhat unsuccessful and fell over, because they were so much longer than what he was used to.

"cool let me try." I said then I thought about the dream i had had before. More specifically the image the feel of the armour tugging at my shoulder the look of my face when i looked into the glass and adrenaline as it had ran through my body when i had thrust my sword into the beasts head and then right there i felt a rippling and heard inteanse screaming that hurt my ears so much i almost collasped but now when i tried to i could not bring myself from that picture of my self in the mirror and then it came closer and i felt a strange liquid pass across my skin as i went into the mirror.

There was a blinding light that overcame all my senses but suddenly i felt a strange weight on my shoulder and some metal against my hot sweaty skin and i realised i had become the man of my dreams the dream me. This was going to be fun i thought as i grined contorting the face that looked as if it was covered in blood.

((OOC: Good job, everyone who has posted so far. I...wouldn't know what to do if everyone bombarded me with questions about how to change. >.< To be honest, I was a little concern when I saw the Glick had light shooting from his eyes and mouth (I thought he was firing some kind of laser O.O) but, everyone did nicely. Just gotta wait for a few more people to transform before continuing (such as farag0n, Clutz, and Fieryfly). ))

(I decided to take the back seat until we actually started moving, hope you don't mind =/)

Doromu had been quietly observing the speech and actions of Dawn, he had managed to calm down his conflicting emotions within during the demonstration. Being less bold than the others, Doromu waited until several others had gone first before stepping up to bat. Slowly creeping forward, he imitated the same movements accurately and held his breath waiting for something to happen.

He waited a moment before deciding nothing was going to happen "Hey, I don't think I did this correc..," He stopped mid-sentence as a wall of blinding light appeared in his mind's eye, engulfing him in an intense white embrace. Sounds were heard, but he could not understand what they meant for it was too muddled.

Doromu blinked and shielded his eyes from the bright glare of the sun, it was then that he realized he wasn't wearing the same clothing as before. Staring at himself, Doromu found that he was roughly 5 inches shorter and his clothing appeared medival like. The most interesting part of this was the staff lying on the grass beside him, which he had dropped. Bending to pick it up, he paused and thought This is exactly how I pictured myself in my dreams.

Ian watched in awe as Glick, Than, Killjoy and Doromu "transformed". AAAAWESOME!!!, Ian's eyes were blooming. He was SO going to be the next one, nothing could stop it.

"I'M NEXT!", Ian shouted and jumped in the middle of the room, he crouched down and held his head gently.

Happy thoughts.. happy thoughts.. umm.. thoughts? DREAM! Gahh.., Ian was forcing it. After a while he opened his eyes and grunted.

"Hmph.."

No way I'm stopping now!, Ian thought and tried again. He was thinking about the dream he had before he woke up in this weird place, he was dressed up quite goofily.

A poker table was in front of him, the dealer dealt the last card. It flew graciously into the middle of the table, it was a Joker card. Wait a sec! There can't b-, Ian's thoughts were interrupted by a brilliant light, it first covered his whole body but then turned into purple gas. After a few seconds the gas "exploded" away, Joker was standing elegantly in the middle of the room. He was holding his top hat with two of his fingers, a blue star formed over his left eye.

"Joker welcomes y'all to a round of poker! Care to play, suckers?", Joker flashed a grin, his long hair covered his right eye and he held the Joker card between his fingers.

After the "flashy" entrance, Joker picked up the cane that had formed next to his feet. He rolled it once and walked over to where Glick and Dawn were. He started leaning towards the wall. His whole outfit had changed but he still felt quite the same as before, not much had changed.

(( Did that go overboard? Now that I think of it.. Ian might have a split personality, or he's just goofing around. Ah well, we'll see ))

Shia had watched all the transformations in detail. Glick transfromed first and after that many followed, Ian even seemed to change a bit from personality. So this is called our 'dream form'... strange...

She turned to the light and let it spread over her body as she closed her eyes in silence. She could see the form of the body on her retina and slowly she thought back to the world she was in not so long ago. To the tree's, the plants, the animals, the soft rippling water of the river close by. In her mind light formed and it seems to glow inside of her.

Suddenly there was this flash and as it faded away Shia was no longer dresssed in black and white. She looked to herself and saw her leather closed, made for the forest. She moved her hand to her back and felt her beautiful bow hanging on the place where he belonged along with her arrows. My bow.. She thought happy as she let her hand slip over it. She looked back to the others and a more confident smile came acros her face. This was how she was supposed to look, this was her, this was Shia.

I had to learn how to walk properly due to the unexpected weight of the armour.I quikly relearned how to balance and asked the question that burned in my head. "Where the dream catcher." I said with all the confidence of someone who could kill a great beast. Then i took the sword from my back feeling strangly powerful and grinned even more. The darkness apon my face looked like blood unless you looked very closly and i wondered how the others would react to that.

((OOC: Now to get to the good part. Myahahahahah! (:<
EDIT: By the way, the Dream Catcher can only be heard by Dawn at the moment. ))

Dawn was amazed by the series of transformations that occured in front of her eyes. A feeling ran through her, but she couldn't quite place it. It was like...like a mother seeing their children grow up, like watching their childish faces one last time before disappearing from view. All of their names now encircled her mind in the order of the emerging dream selves, regardless of if she knew them before then or not. They were Glick, Halthaan, "Killjoy, Doromu, "Joker", and Shia. Some of them seemed to have their own dream names, others reflected with the same name of which belonged to their normal selves...or was it the other way around? Somehow, Dawn felt more connected to those standing before her now, rather than the children that were before her awhile ago. And yet, she knew that this feeling would not last...

"Excellent, my little puppet. Your role as the light that guides the Creators upon their destined path has been fulfilled. Now, sleep...fall into a slumber of opposing dreams -- of nightmares. Then, awaken as your shadow dream self, Dusk!"

Dawn's head dropped, her eyes becoming dull and souless looking. She had the appearance of a puppet whos strings were being cut, one by one, and would descend into darkness, left there without their puppeteer to control them anymore. What happens to a puppet who is not needed anymore? Regardless of how realistic they look, once they are not needed anymore, they crumple to the ground, unable to move at all. But Dawn had a conscience -- a sense of being...right? She should be able to fight this sinking feeling that started to overwhelm her, right?!

"I'm...I'm so sorry..."

"What are you doing, my puppet? Cease this insolence, before I trap you in the World of Nightmares...forever!"

"...Until now, I didn't realize the danger I would be putting all of you in..."

"I see...so the puppet gains the will to move and talk, and suddenly they think they have a right in this world? Well then..."

"...I am a puppet, but that doesn't mean my strings can't get tangled and I start walking a different path!"

"...It's time for the souls within you to break, and their darkness to create your other half, Dusk!"

"--I was sent by the D-Dream...C-Catch-tcher...auh...b-but I...c-ca--an't-t al-l-lo-w h-i-m...t-to...ayeuah...--RUN!!!"

Suddenly, Dawn collapsed to the grown, not a trace of life on her face. Her skin started to turn gray, her lips the color one gets when poison enters their body (purple). The brown locks that spread like multiple, winding rives on the floor changed from brown to a shade of black so dark that no light could reflect off of it. As for her dress, it too took the same color of her hair, but instead of fanning out behind her, like a graceful ocean, the ends resembled claws. Her feet were bare, the toenails a sickening purplish blue, like the color one gets when one stays out in the cold too long, and matched her fingernails (which, by the way, are now really long). Out of all of these changes, the most surprising one were here eyes -- slanted into slits with a glowing, red orb where the iris and the pupil should have been. Some of her hair came down like icicles over her eyes, the rest following the same pattern behind her back (a bit past her shoulders), having the appearance of an inverted fan.

"It appears Dawn will no longer shelter you children," Dusk replied, standing up and bearing a mischivous smirk on her face. "Too bad. Your chances of survival now is...0%. Heh-heha-hehahahahahaaah!"

Holding out her hand, Dusk closed her eyes and concentrated. Darkness engulfed the whole room, the only source of light coming solely from...the last hope for human kind, the Creators. Then, circle swirling with darkness and purple flames formed on the ground before shooting the flames into the air. There were six of them, each made for each Creator, and for a good reason...they were their exact twins. Well, except for the fact that these clones were engulfed in darkness and appeared a bit malformed. They hunched over and had no eyes at all -- just sockets where they should be. But they could speak, and when they did, all the sins the Creators ever committed were told, their darkest secrets exposed.

"Now, kill the Creators with their own darkness, shadows of nightmares!"

((OOC: Okay, so basically Dawn is no more. She was the positive side of all the souls (or dreams) the Dream Catcher collected thus far, and over-stepped her boundaries. Thus, Dusk was awakened in her place. The "creatures" she summoned are, well, dopplgangers. They are imitating the dark side of the soul -- the nightmarish side -- and will basically list off all the sins you did in life until you go mad and become vulnerable to their attacks. Obviously, you have to find a way out of this, but don't be completely immuned to their "attack". Dopplgangers are weak, but the way they mess with your mind isn't easily overwhelmed. Good luck.~ ))

(um dude killjoy was allready batshit insane but whatever.)

I stared at the strange chain of events before me and i grinned as the creature that was me, Somehow even more bloodied and monstarous then i allready am but then it started to name off something "And then when you were born you tried to kill her you evil little thing evil evil and you strangled him and laughed as he was brutally murdered." And somehow even though normally i would find this encouraging the way it said the words made me feel like a monster like i was that creature i screamed "No i am not like you your evil i find joy but you find evil no!" and then it continued "Hahaha you think that your good? That as soon as you kill the bad guy everything will be alright?Idiot!You are the bad guy you will betray them all and then they will laugh as your lifeless head hits the ground."

I tried to ignore him but sudenly i was there watching my best freinds my family being butchered over and over again and i screamed for it to stop.I screamed and screamed as more pictures of children babys being slaughtered in they'er sleep as they got back up as ripped bloody monsters and yelled at me "You killed us why did you kill us you monster." Over and over and over.

(now how do we kill em?)

EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean to say "evil"; I meant to admit that it is good to have a unique character, just not tons of characters with the same uniqueness. And, your just have to overcome the remembrance of the sins you committed and, by breaking that "illusion", you'll find a weak opponent that can be easily killed. ))
