[color=violet]Y-You can talk?[/color] Violet was genuinely taken aback. She'd never seen Nightmares that could talk before. With that said she knew they couldn't... or at least she thought they couldn't. Nightmares we're closer to animals than to people so it would make sense that this couldn't be one of them. But following that train of thought, Violet realizes she's being a bit rash in her decision making. She's shouting, inciting a fight, and jumping to conclusions... this isn't who she was. Xendrick taught her much better than this. Even so... so much of this didn't make sense, that COULDN'T have been as simple as a dream. A dream would have ended much sooner than that nightmare dragged on. But that's when Violet overheard Kaath mention 'Nightmare Oil'. When she thought about it, Violet did remember one thing before everything went to hell. She remembered saving Sierra and then looking back at Keepa and getting a face full of black goo. After that is when the nightmare began. To add to it, Walker brought up a good point. The fact that she still had her ball means: [list] [*] It wasn't crushed by Keepa like she remembered [*] They brought it here themselves so their goal isn't to disarm her. [/list] She's not bound and has her weapons.Talking about 'blind trust' would be naïve and Violet desprately trying to keep on blaming them. The answer was right in front of her and she just needed to accept it. Violet lowered her dagger and her ball went back to it's crystal clear color. Violet sunk to the floor realizing what a fool she's made of herself. [color=violet]Nightmare Oil huh?[/color] Violet let out a heavy sigh. [color=violet]Jeez, I must've looked a sight...just some crazy lady yelling about some nonsense. I'm... sorry about my outburst...[/color] Violet sits herself proper and tries to gather herself. She tries to shake this feeling of dread looming over her. [color=violet]And Walker... thanks for carrying me here. Sorry to put you through that. I'm truly indebted to you[/color] She lowers her head towards him in appreciation. [color=0076a3]"So...tha rest'ye[/color][color=006a92] go[/color][color=005272]t n[/color][color=003b51]am[/color][color=002330]es,[/color] [color=000b10]ah?[/color][color=000000] Y[/color][color=200d02]'hum[/color][color=401a05]ans[/color] [color=602707]lo[/color][color=80340a]ve [/color][color=903a0b]tha[/color] [color=a0410d]kinda thin"[/color] Those two sentences brought up old wounds. Violet vividly remember Keepa using those EXACT words. Violet started shaking upon just hearing those words again. [color=violet]K-K-Keepa s-said the same t-thing...[/color] Violet tries to compose herself and put herself together. [color=violet]Come to mention it you know a lot about this place and you two almost talk the same... you both would be workin-[/color] Violet cut herself off understanding just what she was saying. That nightmare is controlling her. She can't help but feel a bit scarred from the whole experience. Violet buries her face in her legs and with a wave of her hand, her ball burst into it's red flame and strikes the wall with immense force. [color=violet][b]DAMMIT![/b] What the hell is going on with me...[/color] She grabs her head and sits there slowly breathing to try and calm herself down. After Violet had calmed herself she thought about something Walker had said. [color=violet]Speaking of the plague surgeon, where [i]is[/i] Kite?[/color] Violet looked around and saw the body lying lifeless. She rushed over to his body quickly.[color=violet] Is the Nightmare Oil still effecting him? Is he still locked in the nightmare?[/color] She puts her head to his chest and doesn't hear anything. She never did it before so she had no idea if he even [i]had[/i] a heartbeat in the first place. Violet looked to Kaath and asked, [color=violet]What's happening to him? Do you know anything about this?[/color]
