Harley -- Dream 02 -- accidental relaying of fail!exploration of Somni

[justwantsafety]

Harley regarded the small brown creature.

It didn't look threatening. It looked... soft? And it had such large eyes, and funny things on its head that flopped down. Were those its ears? He watched the way its nose twitched as it sniffed around between the rocks, looking for something.

He was pretty sure that it wouldn't be able to eat him. Couldn't be a threat. It was actually quite... what was the word? He sort of wanted to try petting it, to see if it felt how it looked. He found himself liking it more and more as he watched it. He found himself crouching down. He found himself extending a hand to the little thing, his mouth daring to form a sadly rare, honest smile.

He also found himself with the creature's teeth in his finger shortly thereafter.

He yelped, jerking his hand back and springing to his feet. "Would everything quit trying to eat me!"

With a few choice words more as it stepped after him, he sprinted away, only pausing when the building he had been near was nowhere in sight, and he was once again completely lost. Not as though he hadn't been lost before, of course, but he was lost once again, and if he couldn't find the small, furry monster that had wanted him for dinner, maybe the small, furry monster couldn't find him, either.

Or so the logic went.

Unfortunately for him, he was so intent on watching to make certain it wasn't following him, that he managed to completely neglect to watch what he was approaching, and bumped right into something else. Something vaguely resembling the first creature he'd encountered here that had tried to eat him, brown and soft and fluffy, with dark eyes, and four legs, and holy crap that was the biggest... whatever it was... he had ever seen. And it made a sound at him, a bleating one, as it lifted its head, its nose and mouth coming closer, sniffing at him...

He barely managed to choke out a scream as he turned and ran once again.



((Here, have some more fail! Laena said this kind of "dream" post was allowed -- let me know if I'm getting this wrong, please, Lae? -- so here you all go! And if everyone can conveniently forget to mention about the scarecrows, you'll get another fun bit soon too. ♥))

[Chuckles softly, oh she is very amused with you now, Harley.]

[justwantsafety]

*He's found somewhere to pause, in the shade of a building, and is trying to catch his breath now. He gives her a bit of a glare, just at seeing one of the Embryon contacting him, unaware that his recent fail was even posted. Not to mention, he's trying to come off as in control of himself and whatever his situation is, which... isn't working so well. But let's not tell him that, kay?*

....what?

[breast-feeder.livejournal.com]

Are you feeling any better since our last encounter?

[justwantsafety]

*all suspicious -- he doesn't remember seeing her at that fight. To be fair, he was being manhandled and eaten alive by Heat, and then passed out/barely conscious, while she was there.*

....what're you talking about?

[meangreenmutha.livejournal.com]

_{[Audrey will be LOLing over here cause of how pathetic you are, be right back.]}

[justwantsafety]

*PFFFFFF. He'll be behind this building here, trying to catch his breath. This being broadcast would be news to him.*

....

[meangreenmutha.livejournal.com]

_{[Snorts some as he gets himself to stop.]} Hey, kid! You there?

[justwantsafety]

What? Who's there?

*looks around... and then realizes it's coming from down beside him, where he set the device down.*

....?

It's good :3

[hanginbyatail.livejournal.com]

I don't think they were trying to eat you.

<3

[justwantsafety]

Huh? Yes they were!

[hanginbyatail.livejournal.com]

So you got bit by a bunny. I don't think something that small could take down a full grown man.

Unless it's some kind of mutant, shapeshifting monster.

[justwantsafety]

*hmph! embarrassed? him? PFFT. .........he totally is.* Well, maybe it is!

I've had enough of mutant shape-shifting monsters bent on eating me alive; I'm not going to risk it!

[popstar]

It's kinda cute that you keep jumping at every little thing. [giggles]

[justwantsafety]

*blink*

I do not!

*he's embarrassed, but he'll try to cover it up with clearly unpracticed annoyance, and protest the observation. He's not very good at it yet, and probably ends up coming off more like a sulky little kid would, than the adult he clearly is.*

[popstar]

Aww, and that makes you even cuter~

[justwantsafety]

It does not!

*well, he'd like to think not, anyway. Maybe. He's not sure. Isn't being "cute" considered a compliment sometimes?*

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*Is torn between amusement and worry. After all, the last the he saw this guy was...*

I, uh, don't think sheep actually eat people.

[justwantsafety]

*still hasn't figured out that it broadcasted everything. XD*

....sheep? What're sheep?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*Pff. Doesn't realize that he doesn't know, yet.*

That fluffy brown thing that you ran away from. You know, the one that went 'Ba-a-a'.

[justwantsafety]

But I--

*a good pause. Oh, see, now he's suspecting.*

....I'm not risking it.

[fevoreish.livejournal.com]

Just eat them first and you wouldn't have this problem.

XD

[justwantsafety]

What problem? I don't have a prob--

*started answering before he saw the screen... and spotting Heat earns the Embryon second a little yelp and a hastily cut connection. Maybe he'd stay on longer if he weren't terrified of the redhead. IT'S A THEORY, anyway!*

[justwantsafety]

But--

*finally registering that somehow, everyone got to see all of that.*

But the little thing tried to! And the big one-- it was--

People aren't supposed to eat other people... and people aren't supposed to turn into monsters and go nuts and... and... that stuff needs to stay in movies! So... I don't want to risk it.
