Just Your Average Sywnlake Dream || Gibbington
"Well, yes and no. There's a couple times of year where the dreams are more common, but they don't happen every year. So, a lot of times something will happen around Valentine's Day. Something usually happens around April 1, but sometimes its a dream and sometimes its something magical around town. Then there's pretty much always one in early August."
It was kind of a strange schedule, and she didn't understand why the pacing was the way it was. Still, better than something happening in December. She was terrified of whatever Christmas hallmark au it would shove them in if it did.
"But yeah, they're usually inspired by some book or tv show or something like that, but it kinda depends. Remember our old Mayor Hades? I had to duel him to the death in a Game of Thrones one. Barely made it through that one. Or in the Regency one, Phil was my boss and got me pregnant. I kind of preferred the murder to be honest." Joking. Kind of.
Shifting closer, she ran one hand down John's arm. "Depends on the person and what you want. I'm happy to talk about stuff. Other people aren't. You find your group that matches your freak and go from there."

It was fascinating and also so annoying. So living here just meant he'd have to deal with these things? Over and over just different lives and adventures that meant nothing yet meant everything.
He couldn't think about this one too much. It made his head hurt when he tried to think about his rider, what it felt like to not be able to fly. It was like he could still feel the pain in nonexistent wings. He didn't like it.
As Boo went on to explain past dreams she'd had, John just stared on in shock and awe, blinking a few times.
"The murder does sound less complicated, yes," he agreed.
Her hand moved down his arm. He felt a chill go up it. She was one he was glad to have found to talk about all of this. She never made him feel judged or bad for being so... inexperienced. In more ways than one. With these dreams, with other aspects of life around Swynlake. And, yeah, sure, the obvious way he had been inexperienced--and still was in a lot of ways.
"I mean... clearly our 'freaks' match up at least a little," he said with a small grin. "I don't think there are too many in town I could share a dreamworld encounter with as bloody dragons, and be able to have a conversation about it the next day." John chuckled, shifting slightly so his knee touched hers. "But here we are..." his hand brushed against her arm now. He would be lying if he said his mind wasn't drifting to the dream. The warmth of the sun, the sound of the creek. Him and Mary...
"That was probably the best part of the dream for me," he admitted, not able to figure out what other way to talk about it, or how to voice his thoughts and feelings on the matter. "It was just rather depressing other than that."
