He often times found it difficult to discern what was fact and what was fiction, for he long since had the problem of ‘Sleep Walking’. Though his body might stay behind for some of these walks as his soul would ascend into the Astral, traversing the dreamlike world as if it were his own. He’d only ever done it in the waking world a handful of times, and those had brought him nothing but fear for the future. So when he dreamt of Nemo, of his old coach whose journal was left to him, whose language he had been able to perfectly decode and read during his boyfriends escapes with his brother, whose very life was chronicled not only with his loses, but with plans of a greater future to change the outcomes of fate without the notice of a greater power, it shook him to his core. Dorian didn’t recognize the scenery, how could he with no true distinguishing features? He felt the pain and anguish of the man he had become, what they had done to him, and just when Dorian and Nemo had locked eyes, though they were not his own, he woke up. A cold sweat as his shirt clung to his body, his sheets drenched in it as his hair looked as though a bucket of water had been poured atop him. His breathing was erratic, his mind racing, and all he could do was wonder if that was a dream…or another trance. He’d felt something like this before, seen through another's eyes before, back on the first week of school during tryouts. [hr] Dorian’s mind never fully left that dream, even as he got ready for school his thoughts wandered back to that place, that scene. He’d known Nemo was alive, known that he couldn’t have died because it wasn’t his time yet, but now he felt more certain than ever that Nemo might be in trouble. If his journal was anything to go by, he’d have plenty of enemies. That was where his mind was as he was attempting to compete with his siblings in the hot chocolate stacking, far and distant as that dream was beginning to seem. Nevermind the fact that this hot cocoa was nothing like the french one he loved so much. It wasn’t thick enough for his usual tactics, allowing for the ingredients to merely sink down into the drink as he lazily added more atop it. It wasn’t until his phone went off from his boyfriend texting the group chat that his thoughts finally shattered. He [i]always[/i] had time and mind to neg his boyfriend a little when he was being too prideful. So Dorian responded back into the chat while verbally assuring his siblings that he was fine. [hider=@Siblings + Percy]Sorry sweetie, I can't understand the context or meaning of your message. There are no words in it therefore it is undecipherable.[/hider] When Dorian looked up, he noticed a new face joining the group. He’d seen her somewhere before, he knew of it. A mental snap of his fingers and he’d placed it. That was the girl that Riley was flirting with back at the party. The one they wanted to go out with but never could because their ass was grounded. This was the perfect opportunity to be the best brother ever. Danni was hogging all the attention when really Riley needed to be the one in the spotlight for now. Dorian pushed April forward a bit so that she was in front of all of them and more importantly closer to Marlena. [color=CC99FF]”’ey! Marlena right? Riley told us about you from t’e party, you two really seemed to ‘it it off back t’ere it seemed. What a coincidence running into you ‘ere at t’e Festival, got any plans for it or just wandering around? You’re more t’an welcome to join us if you’d like. We always say t’e more t’e merrier.”[/color] He looked around the area for a second before focusing back towards her. [color=CC99FF]”We’re waitin’ on a few ot’ers to arrive still but I’m sure t’ey’ll be ‘ere shortly.”[/color] [hider=Gifts from Dorian] Vicky - Genuine Dragon Fang Necklace Percy - Enchanted Ring that emits a small telekinetic shield around his body (bday) Leah - A Scrapbook with pictures from there adventure in Asgard, none of which have blur issues on Leah, and a shirt that says “I had a Jotun good Heim” on it in Leah’s size.
