[RP] The Inn of Peace - IoP (Open to all)

[Gren_Eckener]

"Ohhhhh, oh, I see!" he nodded, amazed. "Do you need it right now or can I keep hugging you?"  

[Azana Brown]

"With an oracle, that's a safe bet to take, especially if it's recurring," Azana frowned, noticing the aroma as it began to waft through the air. "I learned to listen when Sol had strange dreams. It hasn't happened lately, but I think that's because he dulls it down while he's here. Marilyn doesn't have to do that closed off in a convent." She thought about it for a little while...if she should go away with Sol for a night or two, let him drop his filters and see if he picked up on anything. It was a better option for her than trusting Marilyn's mind.

Marilyn visibly jumped at the green flame, but applauded all the same. "I can see why, now...I don't have any money, little one. The church takes care of me."

Sosol nodded, a thought lingering on the back of his mind. He wanted to propose it to Marilyn, but not so soon after what happened.

She looked to him, green eyes narrowed before she sat back, incredulous. "You want me to do it again...but you want me to go with it? Are you mad? It already ran me through once!"

"It's obscuring itself from you...that veil of shadow is something even your sense can't pierce, and that's impressive," Sosol said in reply, wishing for tea to calm her down. "If you follow it, maybe you can gain more impressions of it, or see where it leads."  

[Astra_Senpai]

Kiran smiled kindly, it was very hard to admit but he wouldn't have minded continuing... even with the pink haired chavy. He debated for a long time, his arms were trapped by the girl. He wheezed softly, "I-I'm af-f-fraid I n-n-need t-t-to u-use it. P-p-please p-p-pard-don m-me..."
Honey would let go and wriggle free of them both. She all but bounded away and half down the hall. Rubbing her cheek, she noted how rough the toff's skin seemed. Kinda like... scales? She shook her head, wrinkling her nose- he needed lotion that was for sure. She stood on point and waited to see if she'd be wandering about on her own again.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Dulls it down?"

Malachai let them both go with a pout. "I'm sorry, Kiran. I just love hugs; if it makes you have asthma, I'll stop."  

[Astra_Senpai]

Kiran gasped, waving his hands, "N-n-n-n-no! Y-you're h-hugs a-aren't the c-c-cause," his wheeze grew high. Clearly he'd been misunderstood, there was a mild panic in his tone. "I l-l-lik-ke h-hugs... ah... I d-d-do n-n-not m-m-mind th-them at all. I-I'm j-j-just a b-b-bit emb-b-b-b-b-b...b-b-b-"
"Embara'sed," Honey chimed, having put herself on the floor at the top of the stairs and looking down through the bannister.
"Y-yes- th-thank y-y-you. Y-y-you a-are n-n-not the s-s-source of m-m-my st-stress. W-w-wak-king up t-t-to a d-d-deal of n-n-oise, exp-p-pos..sing m-mys..self and sh-shout-t-ting... n-not sl-sleep-p-ping w-well I'm af-f-fraid i-it's m-m-ost-tly g-g-g-g....g-g-g..g-g-g-"
Honey had begun to go down the stairs, kind of how the actress in the Grudge did- nice and slow.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Oh, really? Hey, hey! I can help you sleep! I it nightmares?" smiled the demon, perking up. "I can make people sleep really good!"  

[Astra_Senpai]

Kiran waved the demon into his room so he could acquire his inhaler. He would take a pull from it and offer it to Malachai to see while he held the medicine in his lungs. Kiran's walls were covered in notes from about his arms reach to nearly the floorboards. Pages upon pages of drawings and writings, written and rewritten multiple times. Exhaling Kiran sounded worlds better, "B-b-b-ba-bad d-d-dr-dreams are ap-p-part of it- the r-r-rest is anxiet-t-ty."  

[Gren_Eckener]

"I can fix those things!" he smiled, sniffing the inhaler hopefully.  

[Astra_Senpai]

Kiran crossed his arms a moment, thinking, "H-how d-d-d-does it w-w-w-work?"  

[Gren_Eckener]

"Well, we incubi can cause nightmares, but we can also take them away. Its a natural ability; I hang out as you sleep and wick them away. As for the anxiety, what's it about?"  

[Azana Brown]

"Sol places a lot of blocks and filters on his perceptive abilities," Azana explained to Charlotte, idly playing with one of her artifact cards. "He doesn't want to randomly intercept someone's thoughts or catch a glimpse of skeletons from their past. He finds it hard to pick and choose, though, so he's had less and less precognitive events while residing here."

"Why won't you just let me keep away from it?" Marilyn snapped at him, her entire body language incredibly guarded.

"How, by staying awake until we resolve this? You're already in bad shape, and it is possible to die from lack of sleep...!" Sosol retorted. "I don't want to see you hurting like this...and this seems like the only way."

"I won't...I can't do it. It may be vivid for you, but it's a full-body experience to me. I could feel that blade, Sol. I don't want to feel myself die over and over just to solve a mystery!"  

[Astra_Senpai]

"S-s-somt-t-times w-what I'm d-d-dream-ming ab-bout," his ears drooped slightly. "S-s-somet-times ab-b-b-out m-my w-w-writ-ting, t-the s-s-sounds ar-round the inn, w-w-with-thin the inn, wh-when m-my ag-g-gent w-will c-c-call, if I sh-should c-call h-her, if I'm p-p-pr-prog-g-g-gres..sing en-nough, if I sh-should g-g-go outs-side t-t-tom-mor-r-row..." this would go on for a bit. Kiran pacing about and cleaning the already clean room- even remaking his bed... which was already made.

Honey reached the bottom of the stairs, headphones on and blaring. Bridge walked to the kitchen, into it and to the drinkamajig. Standing up and stretching, bones a popping, getting herself a milkshake, she danced in place waiting. Adults need their depressing talk time and that was fine. But Honey needed SUGAR- so there.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"I see...very kind of him, and impressive that he can do it in his sleep, I must say!" she said, waving to Honey serenely, checking the teapot.

Zippo warbled curiously before snuggling his way underneath Marilyn's hand and curling up to nap.

"Well, there's always one thing that makes me forget my problems!" he smiled brightly, tail swaying,. "Hot cocoa! And coloring books!"  

[Azana Brown]

Azana nodded, grinning. "He's something else...though he's told me that they do weaken when one's asleep. Hard to put conscious effort into it when you're not conscious and all; at that point, it's all about what's been established in the subconscious. He's been working on it for a long time...it might explain why his are stronger than Marilyn's, or even Kristen's."

Sosol sighed, standing up. "I'm going to check on the tea," he announced, leaving Marilyn alone with Zippo.

Marilyn frowned, keeping her hand slightly cupped for Zippo. She wanted to mimic him, to sleep as well, but she knew she couldn't...that was when that shadow came, after all. Those devil's eyes would only stare at her in her sleep.  

[Gren_Eckener]

"I hope I haven't given him any nightmares..." she chuckled kindly. "Or would that help..?"

Zippo peeked up to the woman, eyes bright. "Dan giivapu! Wii kiiriit!"
