Harley -- Dream 02 -- accidental relaying of fail!exploration of Somni
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. ♥))

*quiet a sec* Before I got here... that's what happened. I went back to my base, and they followed me... and they wouldn't go away. And then here... I was trying to stay hidden, and then they all found me again, and... *trying to figure it out* ...and I wanted to get away, but they were blocking the exit, and... and they were monsters again, and....
*failing to come up with anything much past that* ....I don't remember, exactly. *buries his face mostly on his arms, curling up a little more where he's sitting down* ...the red one was eating me, and.... I think I passed out.

*little pause, thinking that over* ....the Embryon's Second?
....yeah.... I think it was. *doesn't want to think about it; looks down*
no subject
*having to think about that too... he peeks around, taking a breath to make sure he's calmed down, and makes himself get up, so he can step out of the alley he's ducked down, and look around... Abel might catch sight of a street sign, or recognizable building, if he knows the Industrial sector halfway well. Judging by the look on his face, Harley's probably plenty lost, himself.* ....not... really?
*right now, it doesn't entirely register to him that he ought to be wary of people he doesn't know; this guy's been quite nice to him so far... besides, saying he's "horribly stressed" is putting it mildly. "shell-shocked" is plenty accurate; he wasn't kidding about Heat trying to literally eat him. Alive.*

No! No, don't do that! What if -- what if they found you too? If they turn into monsters again...!
no subject
....just be careful... don't let them find you.
