Are all robloxians in the dream world rotting? Or are some of them native to it?
Most are now native to the world. Generations of generations passed from those original sleepwalkers, never knowing they were stuck there. They got together, formed families, had children, and overtime the dream denizens became a thing. It is the reason they look so hazy, so clearly robloxian yet not. They give off an uncanny valley feeling to all other robloxian.
When the tea is finally spilled but I saw it weeks ago in my dreams so now I'm shocked not because of the tea but the fact that my dream came true 🫡😶🌫️🫥
Dreams are the doorway to the personal underworld — a terrain carved of our landscapes, haunted by our characters, and stitched together with the echoes of our memories.
This is a scene from chapter 5 of Flightless Bird, Immortal Mouth on ao3!
See under the cut for the scene!
A small trail pokes out of the trees and leads away from where he’s woken up. Liu Qingge follows the path for a while, until the bamboo withers away and he’s walking on patchy dirt and vermillion sand.
The sun beats down on him, making that heat in his chest churn and flow through the rest of his body. He still doesn't recognize where he is, but something feels like it’s pulling him towards the craggy mountains up ahead. With no other way to go, he decides that it doesn’t hurt to follow their beckoning.
He can’t help but feel he’s forgetting something important, but he gets easily distracted by the sounds of clashing metal. Someone is fighting. Liu Qingge’s hands itch to grab Cheng Luan and join in. The sound of metal is occasionally cut out by blowing sands, as he looks around, Liu Qingge notices the bamboo forest is nowhere in sight now. He’s surrounded by red sand and harsh sunlight.
Far in the distance two figures attack one another, jumping together and apart like fleas in the sand. Liu Qingge cups his hands over his eyes and squints, but he can’t quite make out who it is. Decisively he pulls Cheng Luan out and hops on, flying over to the battlefield.
