Harley -- Dream 01
Jun. 5th, 2009 01:45 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
*It's not exactly dark, but the clarity leaves much to be desired. There's little focus on anything around him, attention spread out everywhere as his heartbeat, loud in his own ears, nearly drowns out the screams and yells and sounds of battle from the hall. His own breathing tries to compete with it for noise dominance as well, once he's able to remember to draw breath again. He stumbles into the room, shaking, the green lighting above illuminating the furniture in the room, and the crates, but giving him no ideas on where to try to hide, or possible ways to escape. He's cornered, and he knows it.*
*A sound quickly comes from behind him, and he spins to face the doorway, now open, figures stepping in-- only, the scene wavers as he watches, and instead of making them out clearly, it becomes a chaotic battlefield, a blood-soaked mess of shredded flesh and bone, flashes of teeth, such enormous, sharp teeth! and claws, oh god those claws--! and he remembers a choked little sound that might've come from him, as he's grabbed up roughly by the collar of his uniform, by one of the figures, and can only plead, in response to something asked of him in a low growl.*
*Red -- in front of him, a fiery red. An angry red, and then darkness again as the back of his head and torso hit glass, hard enough to crack it. Flung away from the figures and into the wall, he slides down to the floor, echoes of the battlefield staying in his view, overlapping reality in his panic-filled nightmare. The blood, the teeth--*
*Nowhere to run, stuck in his strategy room with those intimidating presences.... He picked himself back up slowly, the others pausing, quiet. He must have said something, his voice rising in an insane sort of desperation, though what it was exactly, even he probably wouldn't have been able to recall... and lunged forward, to strike at them.*
*It desn't go well, apparently -- flashes of claws again, of teeth, of red and yellow and brown and white and gray shapes, and blood, and fire -- was he somehow the cause of the fire? -- and then seeing the floor, the gray stone tiles, red with blood that had to be his own, puddle widening, under him, as everything went dark....*
...
*Harley makes a sound, a terrified, choked little gasp as he wakes up and pushes himself up off the ground and into a sitting position, pulling his knees up in front of him. It's too dark to make out anything much, but the glow from the Dreamberry shows that his back's to a wall somewhere, perhaps in an alleyway, or inside a building, with its lights off. It's hard to tell. He's still for a second, eyes wide, and then reaches a shaking hand up to check over himself, probably for sign of injuries. There aren't any, which confuses the heck out of him. He looks around him, not sure what to make of this, and finally catches sight of the Dreamberry sitting on the ground in front of him. It takes him a second before he reaches to pick it up and look it over. He doesn't look like he's ever seen it before, but that doesn't stop him from turning it off without a word.*
((...apologies to any chars totally disturbed by a nightmare like that. ♥
...yeah, that was through his eyes, just to make it clear. *only just now realized*
Also, yes, this is his intro. He's totally confused now. YAY BRAINBREAK!))

Date: 2009-06-05 11:47 am (UTC)*not catching on right away... he's back to feeling over his torso for sign of injury, trying to figure out why his ribs aren't the consistency of oatmeal, and he doesn't have a scratch on him... you know, that sort of thing. Hasn't looked up just yet.*

Date: 2009-06-05 09:34 pm (UTC)Jinana, watch out! They'll eat you! They-- there was this explosion, and everyone freaked out and-- and then they came into my base and they were eating all my men and they kept asking what happened, but I told them, and they kept coming and they wouldn't just leave and then we were in the command room and-- and I even told them they could have the place if they just left me alone but they wouldn't listen and-- and they wouldn't go away, and-- *breathe. remember to breathe!* ...and I should be dead now, I know it... they said they just wanted to talk, but they were going to eat me!
*goes quiet, trying to focus. Key word, trying.* And... they're here too!

Date: 2009-06-06 01:07 am (UTC)*looks back up at the Dreamberry on his lap there, blinking a few times at the renewed interruption* I don't-- I don't get it. I'm not--
*blinkblink, doubletake. She's wearing orange! That Dreamberry gets snatched at and fumbled again, landing so she has a nice view of the toe of one of his boots just before he tries to scoot away. Voice shaky but rising in pitch and volume a bit with his freaking out as he speaks... but at least he's talking to the Dreamberry still?*
Oh god, more Embryon! How many of you are there here??
((I'm sorry, Sera. ;_; ....Is it bad I feel more guilty for making her upset than making him upset? XD))
