[thunder-rcp]

does Thunder happen to be related to Poli by any chance?

Well, we did figure out that I was hos great great grandfather!

(Author's note: Thunder is related to Poli only in this blog. ROI hasn't yet confirmed or disproved any relation between these two characters yet)

[daily-rcp-poli]

Accidents were not the only thing that became more frequent during the winter seasons. Night also took its toll. Freezing cold, with dark clouds hiding the bright stars.

This night was no different. After the duties and adventures came the time to rest. Poli could finally do that. Brush off his paranormal experience. Just snuggled into his warm bed and forget everything...

Except Thunder was there too. Watching the sleepy officer, preparing for his next move.

@thunder-rcp

Poli stretched out his arms, yawning and letting himself collapse onto the fluffy bed he always made. Wrapping himself in blue sheets, a sigh of exhaustion manages to roll out.

A wintery day equals double the rescues. Slippery roads causing cars to slip off and almost cause accidents, luckily the team were always there tor their citizens. It always has been. Patrols from day to night, using their entire bodies to hold off logs threatening to cause injury.

That.. usually consisted his day. But that didn't mean he despised his job. He loved.

But, of course rescuers need to slumber their own way into dreamland.

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder raised his head at the sentence.

The old ghost snapped his head at Poli with pure sock painted on his face. It couldn't be...

Tynan Byeol.. Is your father..?

Or could it? The young star shared the same last name as the last family member the phantom got to see. How did he not draw the connection earlier?!

That means... You're my great great grandson!

Poli, we're family!

[daily-rcp-poli]

Two cars forming the dots slowly was surely an talent, it ran in the family. Of course it did. Their drive of passion towards justice, saving the ones with an open hand as they could..

Of course they were family.

Poli fidgeted with his hands, awkwardly waving them around in the air. How was he supposed to respond? There's no way. A great, legend.. had the same oil as him?!

We-- W--We are?! I-- I don't know what to say-- You're family to my dad-- I, oh god..

Poli pranced around back and forth, endless rambles coming up from his mind. A common thing the officer did when he was unsure of things. (Or worry for his team.)

How did the great policemen think? A star as bright as he could be.. Family to a thundering cloud who wants to be hidden away in the skies.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the star's rants weren't meant to go on for too long. They got interrupted by the officer getting wrapped in someone's hands.

Thunder. He pulled the young car in a tight hug, hiding his frame in his shoulder. Tears now coming down with full force just like the rain above them.

There was nothing left to hide.

I'm so sorry, son. I'm sorry... If only I stayed, this family could've been better...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli's mouth closed. Suprised from the sudden embrace. Although, he didn't fancy the tears that stroked down Thunder's face.

The great one, found family and just couldn't take it. Tears spilling out as the rain followed onto their heads.

Poli nervously shook out a breath of air. Slightly raising Thunder's chin to his eye level. Wiping away the rain away from the thunder cloud from his frame.

You can't blame yourself. You were in so much pain. How could you not? Anyone would feel the same..

Getting a better look at Thunder's eyes, they were overprickled from bubbles of tears. Pain. So much pain bottled up, the bottle falling down and lettings it's contents spill out from the seams.

Maybe Poli found a better name to call out to the old wolf.

..C'mon, grandpa. The rain can't last forever, can it?

A star who wanted to protect someone who wanted to do the same. They were familiar without a doubt.

[thunder-rcp]

Grandpa.

For the first time in his life, he was called grandpa. He always dreamt of a family, someone to care for. He ruined it with a desperate decision. And he finally got it back with no sign of hate in the young eyes of the star.

It was too much. Feelings were overflowing him. Feelings of happiness mixed with sadness and guilt. Tears that only ran harder when the ghost gazed upon the kind look.

I-- I- Sniff. I can't- Sorry jus... Just give me a minute.. Oh lord-

Thunder buried himself back in Poli's shoulder, only tightening the hug. Tears still streaming down like rivers.

Yet the rain calmed down. Dark clouds now were slowly revealing a starry sky that was beautifully sparkling above them.

The ghost's weeps soon changed into laughter. Not that if insanity. Rather a genuine laughter of joy that he found after so many years. Thunder finally let go of Poli's shoulder. Wiping away the tears he looked at his grandson.

I.. I missed you so much, son.

[daily-rcp-poli]

An array of stars illumiated once thundering skies, Poli couldn't help but be in total awe. When was the last time he seen Thunder with such a genuine smile?

Poli laughs, placing his hands back onto his hips. He was glad to see this old wolf, become at least a little vulnerable than to put up an act. (Like how the young actor was, a stageshow for everyone to please.)

I missed you too, gramps. It's nice seeing you so happy.

The officer looks over to the bed of flowers, their colours still vibrant due to the stars shine. Even with Hyacinths, A black-eyed-susan shined the most. Thunder's happiness, just in a little flower.

I really think a smile suits you more.

[thunder-rcp]

Heh.. Thanks, kid. Thank you for everything.

Suddenly for both, the world around them started glitching. Grass turning into dark mist, just barely holding it's shape. It wasn't out of Thunder's will however. More like...

You're about to wake up...

One thing that Thunder did not control was someone's sleep. He wouldn't dare to mess with the system this much. They had only a little time left.

Hey, before this dream is over.. I want to show you something.

The old ghost calmly took Poli's hand into his, putting a palm on where the officer's screen was. What the phantom wanted to show, was a place of his rest. His body was never found, rather embraced by the same purple hyacinths. But Poli was yet to find that out.

You should have the coordinates when you wake up... Just don't change anything when you reach it.

Thunder put a hand on Poli's shoulder, proudly gazing at his family.

You've got a lot in you, little one. One day you'll be even greater than I was. Just know that if you'll ever need me, I'll be around to guide you, son.

I'm proud of you...

[daily-rcp-poli]

W--Wait, grandpa! We'll meet again, righ--

A sudden mist surrounded the both, the last thing Poli sees was a smile from his idol. A smile he managed to achieve somehow with his tendecy to save someone, a proud one at that.

Now not with thundering clouds or rain, he was instead greeted with his pillow. What time is it? 8 AM?.. Poli shook the sheets off him, looking towards the slightly open window across his room.

Sun. Sun that graciously peeked through his curtains. Shining its morning onto the bed of flowers outside the HQ, a reminder of his dream.

..Thunder..

Maybe, some day these two stars will find each other in the huge void of space. It'll take time, as space was as big as Poli's dreams.

Dreams Poli hoped to see again, cherishing them like forever.

[thunder-rcp]

As Poli's dream came to an end, Thunder found himself roaming back to his old place. It was time to haunt the town again, now with a fresh eagerness for life.

However his roaming got interrupted just halfway through his path.

Looks like you've finally cracked the code, old man.

A voice so familiar and so loved. A voice he hasn't heard anything new from for what feels like eons. But he's the only ghost haunting this town!

Thunder snapped his head towards the voice, only to be greeted with a figure he missed to dearly.

Rogue!

In less than an instant, the old ghost flew towards the new one. He fell on his knees, leveling with the red car whom he once married.

My love...

You did it, Thunder. You've found a way.

What do you mean...? Wh- Why are you here, Rogue?!

Even if his wife didn't look at him with the same love in her eye (the one that was gone after Thunder ended his life), that didn't mean he didn't love her.

I came to tell you that you can leave. You're free from your curse.

I'm... Free?

Yes, Thunder. Your team is waiting for you on the other side. Melody is too.

His team... His family. They were all there. Waiting. He could finally embrace them. Tell how sorry he is and how much he loves them. But...

I can't.

???

There was a little pup who was still learning his way of life. The one he swore to watch over.

I've promised to our grandson to help him. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

Rogue examined the old ghost, thinking about his decision. Finally she let out a soft smile.

Very well.

The red car turned around and began floating in the opposite direction. Watching as his lover was leaving, Thunder got up from his knees reaching out a hand towards her.

Wait-- Exclaimed the ghost, which made Rogue stop. I'm sorry. I love you.

The female car stood there for a few moments before turning around, say her final goodbye.

Take care.

And with that, Rogue disappeared. Maybe he wasn't loved by his wife anymore, but she still cared for him. There was still hope for the old ghost.

You too, my love...

[thunder-rcp]

Rough day, huh?

Watching the robocar get comfortable in the blue bed of his, Thunder sat right besides him.

He did mention that he'd see him again tonight, and now he's here to keep his promise. He wasn't done talking.

What the ghost was about to do could be considered as violation of personal space. Yet the phantom couldn't think of any better way to communicate with the officer.

All he needed right now is for Poli to fall asleep.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Azure eyes soon began to flutter, the officer peacefully succumbing to the slumber he rightfully earned. A night where he thought he could sleep through, soon a dream could change his perspective on things.

Poli's eyes opened to a rather darker atmosphere. Gray cloudy skies threatening to strike thunder any moment. Although still disoriented, he brushes his hands over the surface he laid on. Grass.. Soft and nice to run your fingers through.

Ah, an usual dream. Wait– A dream where he could control his will? Poli certainly never had that occurrence. If he recalls correctly from Amber's many rambles, those were called lucid dreams.

Sitting right up, he looks around. A little puzzled but.. Alright, this was only the strangest thing that happened so far.

Just some cloudy skies. Gray as they can be.

[thunder-rcp]

What caused this type of dream was Thunder's job. The ghostly powers were strong, enough to enter one's dream by manipulating their system.

Poli's case was exactly that.

Grey thunder clouds surrounded him. Upon opening his eyes Thunder was greeted with the familiar blue silhouette, now lost in the grass field.

He looked at his hands. They looked... So real. It felt like he was alive again. An illusion to match Poli's mindset. He's forgotten by now how much his dark blue paint reflected the sky.

Right. The officer.

The old one stood up, approaching the kid from the back. He only stopped a mere few feet away, just barely entering the star's personal space.

Hello there, little one.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Wh-- Eh?!

Poli jolted from the sudden figure in his presence. He knew him all too well. A legendary policemen, known for protecting Broomstown as the first ever rescuer. He didn't know too much about his death, too..

But that didn't mean the officer wasn't shocked. Pointing at the older man, he stuttered out a messy sentence of confused rambles.

I--It's you! Thunder-- Wait, what are you doing here? L-Last time I checked I didn't have you in my dreams.. Not that I don't mind but it's just so--

Poli realized he was going off track, something that commonly happened for the leader. Returning his pointing figure back to him, he rested it onto his chin.

This is my first time meeting you.. I don't know what to say.. What should I say, what should I say..

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder leisurely tilted his head to the side. Such an extreme reaction. So much shock and emotion. It reminded him of how people acted around him a century ago.

Though such reaction is to be expected. He wouldn't be much different if he saw any of his friends in his dream...

Calm down, kid. No need for so much noise.

He walked closer to Poli. Despite the slight heigh difference, Thunder still managed to loom over the officer. Even after spending so much time losing his mind the ghost never lost his sense of authority.

Yet the talk shall be casual. His goal for now was to get closer to the star.

You seem to be aware of me. Tell me, do you know who I am?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Of course I do!

Poli said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. The person he studied for great periods, looked up to when he was at a loss with his own justice. It was always thunder. Picking himself up, he dusted the dirt off.

You're Thunder! I always clean your statue.. I don't know why, but I just dislike it when its dirty. Poli circled around the robocar with great interest, observing his parts. He only ever saw the car part of him. Your model is so interesting.. Jin would go crazy if she saw you! The officer laughs, sheepishly rubbing his chin. S-Sorry, it's just.. really weird. I never had a dream like this. You just..

He stood still, his arms resting onto his back. The star faced the great thunder who feared himself; Rather with much inspiration. He stood so close to something that could dare to strike the regulus off his space.

Feel so real.

[thunder-rcp]

He watched the officer with great curiosity. Wasn't the star afraid of the old ghost that could come down on the town like fiercest hurricane?

Or was there just a childlike need to explore?

Jin?... Wasn't that his mechanic. The inventor of the team.

Well, it's a little bit more than a dream.

You said something about this Jin girl. You cal her "sister", don't you? I'm truly sorry about what happened to her...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli immediately began to wave his hands around, nervously chuckling. The girl is safe now under his wing now. An overprotective brother, but a loveable dork at heart.

It's fine! Thank you so much for your concern, uhm.. s--sir! No, Thunder.. uhm.. Poli looks around. A--Anyway! I just.. wanna ask a few questions, if you don't mind of course.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

Alright.. I think you'd be interested in seeing the town.

Within a click of Thunder's fingers, the world around them began to transform. Grassy fields turning into dark mist of clouds before taking their final shape. Soon, the central town square was recognizable, although much different.

It was way emptier. With no huge statue in the middle of the road, but rather a small garden with lovely flowers. Many houses were just being built. It was the birth of Broomstown, its first golden age before the current team.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli stood there in awe. The town was fairly the same size, but the athmosphere was proven to be much different. The statue that people praided no more, rather a bed of flowers.

The officer walked over to the middle part of the town, looking around to see if anyone would bother to look. Not even a glance, he really was a ghost in this universe..

Poli kneels down to the flower beds height, softly feeling at the flowers. Most flowers there were planted to be expected. Daisies, roses.. but in the middle part laid black eyed susans.

They were bright, easy to catch ones eye.

Maybe Thunder liked them? But his sad expression didn't seem to state much..

Poli snaps his head towards the direction of the voices. They were so much similar to his team, but they were their own person.

That must have been your team.. Explaining safety like we do. Poli sheepishly laughs. They look pretty content with the town, though.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the town treated the poorly. Spitted Thunder. They were the bravest of the brave but the town still forgot them!

He hated it about the town. It hurt him. It hurt to watch them go. The pain that could never be forgotten.

Blaze, Finn and William. They all dreamed of days of glory when their names would be known. The boys hoped to start a family one day, watch how their legacy grew.

Legacy that was often compared to seeds. Flowers that one probably wouldn't get to see. Unfortunately these seeds were never meant to sprout as they were stepped on by the cruelty of the world.

They only flowers that the deceased team saw were those put next to their picture in the officer's old bedroom. A way to grieve his old friends.

But that wasn't meant to be...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli replied with a dejected hum, plucking a few flowers from the flowerbed. He'll save it for when the time comes.. All what the old ghost needs is a little warmth in the heavy storms. I.. see. Poli inspects the scene further, walking closer to the other rescue members. He tries to interact with his hand.. Alas, it phases through them completely. The officer couldn't exactly relate with Thunder on this particular topic. He couldn't believe the town just.. threw the rescue team away like unused toys they got bored of. Even when the town now was commonly known for their misfortunes and accidents, the citizens still loved the team and cherished them. How unfair.. The leader shouldn't have that much praise compared to Thunder's history. I'm.. uh, Poli wanted to say something. Anything. Thunder seemed so aloof, what could he do. My-- Mother always said something to cheer me up. Eclipse.. ''Even when the stars gossip, your family will always be there for you.'' It's-- Silly I know-- But it always comforted me! Even if the town was terrible, you at least had your team.. Right?

[thunder-rcp]

A tiny grin pulled at the corners of his mouth. Thunder finally dared to look away from the rescuers.

That... Is somewhat comforting. Wish it was like that for me..

Another couple of voices entered the square. It was a younger version of Thunder and his wife.

Rogue...

He praises her dearly beloved with his eyes. Oh, but how special was the red car.

Could you tell me a little more about your mother, little one?

[daily-rcp-poli]

M--My mom? Well, uhm..

Childhood stories begin to play on the canvas, full of colour and strokes of playing around grassy fields with his dog. Mother watching over two with an approved glee.

Eclipse had always made sure a meal was warm and ready onto the table, one that was made too hot for her husband, a meal just right for Poli.

And her meal was always cold at end, but she didn't mind. She was just happy to see her little family cherished.

Mom always made sure I was healthy! Whenever I got sick she always took care of me.. sung my lullabies. Or even share stories about dads family. Poli ponders to the side. Come to think of it, I dunno much about her.. All I know dad was always apart of the force.

A red car follows Thunders eyes, Poli immediately notes that they softened in almost an instant. Best not to ask about it, though.. The wandering soul was already in sorrow enough.

But she's a really great mother.

[thunder-rcp]

A soft chuckle escapes his lips. His eyes were glued to the red car.

My wife was just like that with our daughter. Melody was her name.

The setting suddenly changed once more. Dark clouds taking a new shape, this time of a vintage house.

Quiet singing filled the air as a young purple car joyfully performed in front of her mother. The red car was peacefully writing something, enjoying her daughter's voice.

Thunder's eyes softened in an instant. It was one of the happy moments in the broken family he wished he was a part of.

Rogue brought her up on her own, a wonderful lady. Melody grew up asking a lot about her old man, but she never told her much.

You can't even begin to imagine how much I wanted to be there for them. To hug them tight. Tell them that I'm sorry for leaving.

So many things could've been avoided, and it's all my fault...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Two cars happily enjoying the scenery together, despite it being formed in dark clouds a cheerful melody played through out the creation. A daughter with a passion for singing, and a moher who brought herself into her writings.

As happy as the image could be, it still remained. A void of a father who was supposed to be there, doting on his wife and singing along.

Now only remaining a ghost who griefed moments.

You can't forsee the future, y'know?.. A hint of nervousness was obvious in his tone, careful not to say the wrong thing. But.. it's not like you wanted these things to happen. I can see it in you. You didn't have any grudges.

Poli awkwardly shuffled closer to the ghost, raising his hand to pat on his shoulder..

To his suprise, his hands actually made contact with Thunder's shoulders. Could it be a similar feeling when Thunder laid his hands on the officer?

An iced touch, but yet so warm.

I bet Melody would be amazed to see someone like you. I looked up to my dad a lot.. Even if he cut the officer off his life, rolling his eyes at the small car when his son approached him. Maybe she feels the same. Even if she doesn't really know it.

[thunder-rcp]

Feeling the pat on his shoulder, Thunder couldn't help but feel the need to distance himself. But he didn't.

It was the first time in century when he's been comforted by someone. Someone who blindly believed in his good. Comfort he did not deserve.

That's the issue here, Poli. She's been looking up to me all her life, wanting to be a rescuer. Yet Rogue cut it off from her, so my daughter's desire became a heavy weight on her children. The nasty memory made him clutch his fists. Very soon, it became a necessity for every following generation to be a rescuer in a way...

He remembered watching his family as a ghost. The countless arguments the two cars had when the youngest asked about her father.

Rogue made sure she could never become a robocar, fearing the worst. But no one could predict that it would result in the family's fallout and generational trauma.

Tell me... Why do you look up to me, son?

[daily-rcp-poli]

There were many, many countless of reasons why the star looked so brightly on something most people feared; Thunder. A rescuer who was like the weather, unpredictable and even dangerous at times.

But..

He felt like he already sugarcoated so much of the rescuer already, exclaiming things of him saving the town.. Protecting his citizens. Poli felt conflicted.

Thunder wasn't all about rescusing. He was still practically a person. One just like him.

Poli begins to speak. Words of uncertain began to roll out, but they all seemed genuine.

I don't know why but.. uhm, there's countless of reasons why I respect you so much. But this one is just on my mind!

Poli directs Thunder's shoulders to his direction, facing him with an warmed expression.

One could almost compare it to a feeling of family.

You just.. feel so close to me. I don't know why..

Poli looks away.

I'm looking for that answer too.

[thunder-rcp]

The star shined so bright. Young and naïve he was, unaware of the dangers someone like Thunder posed. Unaware of his deeds..

I...

The connection. The feeling of familiarity. The closeness. So Thunder wasn't the only one feeling this way. Could there actually be something between him and Poli?

I too feel that closeness. It's the reason I visited you. To figure that out... But that shouldn't be a reason for you to look up to me!

The great thunder turned his head towards the little star. He looked him right in the eyes. Cold and stern, just barely 'alive' at this point.

Maybe the source of connection was in something else. Maybe it's time for the ghost to reveal the dirtiest of his deeds.

Poli, tell me. If all of your team were dead, if the town forgot about them and their names... What would you do?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli winces at the question, letting his hands go from Thunders shoulders. (Trembling, they were. A wolf who wants to shield himself from being vulnerable to the young one.) Words.. words.. what could he use?

He couldn't imagine it. Frankly, he was terrified of the thought. Poli would immediately go with the stars if that happened.

But his team, they couldn't be forgotten..

If that were to happen, would he be a lost wandering ghost too?

I.. I..

Poli clenches his fist. The singular question the ghost asked with cold eyes made him shudder.

I'd do anything in my power to make them remember. My team deserves the best. Even if I'm a dead man in the end, I'll always protect them.

I'd prefer if I was the one forgotten if it means they deserve their shine.

Because in Poli's eyes..

They were stars too. Stars he cherished the most.

[thunder-rcp]

The old ghost kept staring at the you officer with the same icy eyes. Now sparks that only could be compared to lightnings played in them.

Poli... If the dream was really connected to Thunder's emotions, then it was unstable. Despite the numb expression the world around them was glitching, taking them back to the same grassy field. I--

The only difference was an old building standing far away in the distance. It looked like it was about to collapse, but it never did. Rather, it was surrounded by a bed of purple flowers. Hyacinths that grew and decorated the building as if it was an old grave.

Not being able to bare the look of the star Thunder turned away, looking at the exact old building. His body glitching too while heavy rain fell as he spoke.

You.. Can't even begin to imagine how much I'd want that. Have I been alive I- I could've prevent my team from getting forgotten. I could've hold my daughter. I...

I was a fool. I wanted to be with them so bad I forgot about the ones who needed me. When could've done so much I--

I left them. I killed myself.

Words that were spoken so quietly they could be barely heard. Yet they still echoed through the field very clearly, not bothered by the sound of wind or rain. Words that no matter how much he tried to deny, they were always there, staining his miserable existence. For that was his truth and his end.

This is my punishment.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli shivered at such confession.

Thunder, a great policeman ended his life with a bullet of sorrow. All because the guilt had loomed over like a parasite, eating away at his sanity until the leader broke.

Poli reached his hand out to the glitching spirit, but it fell back down. Oh, god. It looked like he was about to cry. Rain that matched the scene of how he felt; Terrified to cry in front of the officer.

Poli glanced at the Hyacinths that practically infected an already crumbled headquaters. He couldn't believe it was the same building he now lived in.

Flowers that Thunder thought of himself as; A pathetic officer who haunted the town quietly. A town he despised for as much as he hated himself.

Thunder.

Poli leaves Thunder by himself, walking towards the bed of Hyacinths and dropping a black-eyed-susan in the middle of it. It's vibrant yellow colour immediately popping out from the dull purple.

I think you're putting yourself so low due to the amount of pain you went through. Poli sighs. I get it. I felt the same way before. You feel lost, maybe even a little scared.

Poli faces Thunder again, with a sad yet softened smile. He wanted to be there for him. Save him with the small wings he grew, guiding an old wolf under his wing instead.

I'd say it wasn't a punishment. You wanted a way out. But that doesn't mean..

Poli couldn't phantom the thought of it, but he stepped closer to Thunder. Letting his arms embrace around the glitched man. Poli's own frame was starting to feel the affects of it.

That I can't look up to you.

[thunder-rcp]

Small tears were already running down his frame. He glanced at the officer then at the little gift left on the flower bed.

The yellow of the flowers standing out so much from the usual dark lilac.

Still, I don't get it... Ending my life was supposed to be a way out of my misery! But now I'm stuck here.

As much as the ghost craved for comfort, he could give in to it. Not to a child he was Poli in his eyes. Not when he didn't deserve it.

Thunder rather hugged himself, shielding from the rain he deemed upon both officers.

So many people gone because of this decision... So many forced to follow my path... I lost track of them all.

The last one I got to see is Tynan... He has so young when he had to leave the country... I think they moved to Korea...?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Accidents were not the only thing that became more frequent during the winter seasons. Night also took its toll. Freezing cold, with dark clouds hiding the bright stars.

This night was no different. After the duties and adventures came the time to rest. Poli could finally do that. Brush off his paranormal experience. Just snuggled into his warm bed and forget everything...

Except Thunder was there too. Watching the sleepy officer, preparing for his next move.

@thunder-rcp

Poli stretched out his arms, yawning and letting himself collapse onto the fluffy bed he always made. Wrapping himself in blue sheets, a sigh of exhaustion manages to roll out.

A wintery day equals double the rescues. Slippery roads causing cars to slip off and almost cause accidents, luckily the team were always there tor their citizens. It always has been. Patrols from day to night, using their entire bodies to hold off logs threatening to cause injury.

That.. usually consisted his day. But that didn't mean he despised his job. He loved.

But, of course rescuers need to slumber their own way into dreamland.

[thunder-rcp]

Rough day, huh?

Watching the robocar get comfortable in the blue bed of his, Thunder sat right besides him.

He did mention that he'd see him again tonight, and now he's here to keep his promise. He wasn't done talking.

What the ghost was about to do could be considered as violation of personal space. Yet the phantom couldn't think of any better way to communicate with the officer.

All he needed right now is for Poli to fall asleep.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Azure eyes soon began to flutter, the officer peacefully succumbing to the slumber he rightfully earned. A night where he thought he could sleep through, soon a dream could change his perspective on things.

Poli's eyes opened to a rather darker atmosphere. Gray cloudy skies threatening to strike thunder any moment. Although still disoriented, he brushes his hands over the surface he laid on. Grass.. Soft and nice to run your fingers through.

Ah, an usual dream. Wait– A dream where he could control his will? Poli certainly never had that occurrence. If he recalls correctly from Amber's many rambles, those were called lucid dreams.

Sitting right up, he looks around. A little puzzled but.. Alright, this was only the strangest thing that happened so far.

Just some cloudy skies. Gray as they can be.

[thunder-rcp]

What caused this type of dream was Thunder's job. The ghostly powers were strong, enough to enter one's dream by manipulating their system.

Poli's case was exactly that.

Grey thunder clouds surrounded him. Upon opening his eyes Thunder was greeted with the familiar blue silhouette, now lost in the grass field.

He looked at his hands. They looked... So real. It felt like he was alive again. An illusion to match Poli's mindset. He's forgotten by now how much his dark blue paint reflected the sky.

Right. The officer.

The old one stood up, approaching the kid from the back. He only stopped a mere few feet away, just barely entering the star's personal space.

Hello there, little one.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Wh-- Eh?!

Poli jolted from the sudden figure in his presence. He knew him all too well. A legendary policemen, known for protecting Broomstown as the first ever rescuer. He didn't know too much about his death, too..

But that didn't mean the officer wasn't shocked. Pointing at the older man, he stuttered out a messy sentence of confused rambles.

I--It's you! Thunder-- Wait, what are you doing here? L-Last time I checked I didn't have you in my dreams.. Not that I don't mind but it's just so--

Poli realized he was going off track, something that commonly happened for the leader. Returning his pointing figure back to him, he rested it onto his chin.

This is my first time meeting you.. I don't know what to say.. What should I say, what should I say..

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder leisurely tilted his head to the side. Such an extreme reaction. So much shock and emotion. It reminded him of how people acted around him a century ago.

Though such reaction is to be expected. He wouldn't be much different if he saw any of his friends in his dream...

Calm down, kid. No need for so much noise.

He walked closer to Poli. Despite the slight heigh difference, Thunder still managed to loom over the officer. Even after spending so much time losing his mind the ghost never lost his sense of authority.

Yet the talk shall be casual. His goal for now was to get closer to the star.

You seem to be aware of me. Tell me, do you know who I am?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Of course I do!

Poli said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. The person he studied for great periods, looked up to when he was at a loss with his own justice. It was always thunder. Picking himself up, he dusted the dirt off.

You're Thunder! I always clean your statue.. I don't know why, but I just dislike it when its dirty. Poli circled around the robocar with great interest, observing his parts. He only ever saw the car part of him. Your model is so interesting.. Jin would go crazy if she saw you! The officer laughs, sheepishly rubbing his chin. S-Sorry, it's just.. really weird. I never had a dream like this. You just..

He stood still, his arms resting onto his back. The star faced the great thunder who feared himself; Rather with much inspiration. He stood so close to something that could dare to strike the regulus off his space.

Feel so real.

[thunder-rcp]

He watched the officer with great curiosity. Wasn't the star afraid of the old ghost that could come down on the town like fiercest hurricane?

Or was there just a childlike need to explore?

Jin?... Wasn't that his mechanic. The inventor of the team.

Well, it's a little bit more than a dream.

You said something about this Jin girl. You cal her "sister", don't you? I'm truly sorry about what happened to her...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli immediately began to wave his hands around, nervously chuckling. The girl is safe now under his wing now. An overprotective brother, but a loveable dork at heart.

It's fine! Thank you so much for your concern, uhm.. s--sir! No, Thunder.. uhm.. Poli looks around. A--Anyway! I just.. wanna ask a few questions, if you don't mind of course.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

Alright.. I think you'd be interested in seeing the town.

Within a click of Thunder's fingers, the world around them began to transform. Grassy fields turning into dark mist of clouds before taking their final shape. Soon, the central town square was recognizable, although much different.

It was way emptier. With no huge statue in the middle of the road, but rather a small garden with lovely flowers. Many houses were just being built. It was the birth of Broomstown, its first golden age before the current team.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli stood there in awe. The town was fairly the same size, but the athmosphere was proven to be much different. The statue that people praided no more, rather a bed of flowers.

The officer walked over to the middle part of the town, looking around to see if anyone would bother to look. Not even a glance, he really was a ghost in this universe..

Poli kneels down to the flower beds height, softly feeling at the flowers. Most flowers there were planted to be expected. Daisies, roses.. but in the middle part laid black eyed susans.

They were bright, easy to catch ones eye.

Maybe Thunder liked them? But his sad expression didn't seem to state much..

Poli snaps his head towards the direction of the voices. They were so much similar to his team, but they were their own person.

That must have been your team.. Explaining safety like we do. Poli sheepishly laughs. They look pretty content with the town, though.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the town treated the poorly. Spitted Thunder. They were the bravest of the brave but the town still forgot them!

He hated it about the town. It hurt him. It hurt to watch them go. The pain that could never be forgotten.

Blaze, Finn and William. They all dreamed of days of glory when their names would be known. The boys hoped to start a family one day, watch how their legacy grew.

Legacy that was often compared to seeds. Flowers that one probably wouldn't get to see. Unfortunately these seeds were never meant to sprout as they were stepped on by the cruelty of the world.

They only flowers that the deceased team saw were those put next to their picture in the officer's old bedroom. A way to grieve his old friends.

But that wasn't meant to be...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli replied with a dejected hum, plucking a few flowers from the flowerbed. He'll save it for when the time comes.. All what the old ghost needs is a little warmth in the heavy storms. I.. see. Poli inspects the scene further, walking closer to the other rescue members. He tries to interact with his hand.. Alas, it phases through them completely. The officer couldn't exactly relate with Thunder on this particular topic. He couldn't believe the town just.. threw the rescue team away like unused toys they got bored of. Even when the town now was commonly known for their misfortunes and accidents, the citizens still loved the team and cherished them. How unfair.. The leader shouldn't have that much praise compared to Thunder's history. I'm.. uh, Poli wanted to say something. Anything. Thunder seemed so aloof, what could he do. My-- Mother always said something to cheer me up. Eclipse.. ''Even when the stars gossip, your family will always be there for you.'' It's-- Silly I know-- But it always comforted me! Even if the town was terrible, you at least had your team.. Right?

[thunder-rcp]

A tiny grin pulled at the corners of his mouth. Thunder finally dared to look away from the rescuers.

That... Is somewhat comforting. Wish it was like that for me..

Another couple of voices entered the square. It was a younger version of Thunder and his wife.

Rogue...

He praises her dearly beloved with his eyes. Oh, but how special was the red car.

Could you tell me a little more about your mother, little one?

[daily-rcp-poli]

M--My mom? Well, uhm..

Childhood stories begin to play on the canvas, full of colour and strokes of playing around grassy fields with his dog. Mother watching over two with an approved glee.

Eclipse had always made sure a meal was warm and ready onto the table, one that was made too hot for her husband, a meal just right for Poli.

And her meal was always cold at end, but she didn't mind. She was just happy to see her little family cherished.

Mom always made sure I was healthy! Whenever I got sick she always took care of me.. sung my lullabies. Or even share stories about dads family. Poli ponders to the side. Come to think of it, I dunno much about her.. All I know dad was always apart of the force.

A red car follows Thunders eyes, Poli immediately notes that they softened in almost an instant. Best not to ask about it, though.. The wandering soul was already in sorrow enough.

But she's a really great mother.

[thunder-rcp]

A soft chuckle escapes his lips. His eyes were glued to the red car.

My wife was just like that with our daughter. Melody was her name.

The setting suddenly changed once more. Dark clouds taking a new shape, this time of a vintage house.

Quiet singing filled the air as a young purple car joyfully performed in front of her mother. The red car was peacefully writing something, enjoying her daughter's voice.

Thunder's eyes softened in an instant. It was one of the happy moments in the broken family he wished he was a part of.

Rogue brought her up on her own, a wonderful lady. Melody grew up asking a lot about her old man, but she never told her much.

You can't even begin to imagine how much I wanted to be there for them. To hug them tight. Tell them that I'm sorry for leaving.

So many things could've been avoided, and it's all my fault...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Two cars happily enjoying the scenery together, despite it being formed in dark clouds a cheerful melody played through out the creation. A daughter with a passion for singing, and a moher who brought herself into her writings.

As happy as the image could be, it still remained. A void of a father who was supposed to be there, doting on his wife and singing along.

Now only remaining a ghost who griefed moments.

You can't forsee the future, y'know?.. A hint of nervousness was obvious in his tone, careful not to say the wrong thing. But.. it's not like you wanted these things to happen. I can see it in you. You didn't have any grudges.

Poli awkwardly shuffled closer to the ghost, raising his hand to pat on his shoulder..

To his suprise, his hands actually made contact with Thunder's shoulders. Could it be a similar feeling when Thunder laid his hands on the officer?

An iced touch, but yet so warm.

I bet Melody would be amazed to see someone like you. I looked up to my dad a lot.. Even if he cut the officer off his life, rolling his eyes at the small car when his son approached him. Maybe she feels the same. Even if she doesn't really know it.

[thunder-rcp]

Feeling the pat on his shoulder, Thunder couldn't help but feel the need to distance himself. But he didn't.

It was the first time in century when he's been comforted by someone. Someone who blindly believed in his good. Comfort he did not deserve.

That's the issue here, Poli. She's been looking up to me all her life, wanting to be a rescuer. Yet Rogue cut it off from her, so my daughter's desire became a heavy weight on her children. The nasty memory made him clutch his fists. Very soon, it became a necessity for every following generation to be a rescuer in a way...

He remembered watching his family as a ghost. The countless arguments the two cars had when the youngest asked about her father.

Rogue made sure she could never become a robocar, fearing the worst. But no one could predict that it would result in the family's fallout and generational trauma.

Tell me... Why do you look up to me, son?

[daily-rcp-poli]

There were many, many countless of reasons why the star looked so brightly on something most people feared; Thunder. A rescuer who was like the weather, unpredictable and even dangerous at times.

But..

He felt like he already sugarcoated so much of the rescuer already, exclaiming things of him saving the town.. Protecting his citizens. Poli felt conflicted.

Thunder wasn't all about rescusing. He was still practically a person. One just like him.

Poli begins to speak. Words of uncertain began to roll out, but they all seemed genuine.

I don't know why but.. uhm, there's countless of reasons why I respect you so much. But this one is just on my mind!

Poli directs Thunder's shoulders to his direction, facing him with an warmed expression.

One could almost compare it to a feeling of family.

You just.. feel so close to me. I don't know why..

Poli looks away.

I'm looking for that answer too.

[thunder-rcp]

The star shined so bright. Young and naïve he was, unaware of the dangers someone like Thunder posed. Unaware of his deeds..

I...

The connection. The feeling of familiarity. The closeness. So Thunder wasn't the only one feeling this way. Could there actually be something between him and Poli?

I too feel that closeness. It's the reason I visited you. To figure that out... But that shouldn't be a reason for you to look up to me!

The great thunder turned his head towards the little star. He looked him right in the eyes. Cold and stern, just barely 'alive' at this point.

Maybe the source of connection was in something else. Maybe it's time for the ghost to reveal the dirtiest of his deeds.

Poli, tell me. If all of your team were dead, if the town forgot about them and their names... What would you do?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli winces at the question, letting his hands go from Thunders shoulders. (Trembling, they were. A wolf who wants to shield himself from being vulnerable to the young one.) Words.. words.. what could he use?

He couldn't imagine it. Frankly, he was terrified of the thought. Poli would immediately go with the stars if that happened.

But his team, they couldn't be forgotten..

If that were to happen, would he be a lost wandering ghost too?

I.. I..

Poli clenches his fist. The singular question the ghost asked with cold eyes made him shudder.

I'd do anything in my power to make them remember. My team deserves the best. Even if I'm a dead man in the end, I'll always protect them.

I'd prefer if I was the one forgotten if it means they deserve their shine.

Because in Poli's eyes..

They were stars too. Stars he cherished the most.

[thunder-rcp]

The old ghost kept staring at the you officer with the same icy eyes. Now sparks that only could be compared to lightnings played in them.

Poli... If the dream was really connected to Thunder's emotions, then it was unstable. Despite the numb expression the world around them was glitching, taking them back to the same grassy field. I--

The only difference was an old building standing far away in the distance. It looked like it was about to collapse, but it never did. Rather, it was surrounded by a bed of purple flowers. Hyacinths that grew and decorated the building as if it was an old grave.

Not being able to bare the look of the star Thunder turned away, looking at the exact old building. His body glitching too while heavy rain fell as he spoke.

You.. Can't even begin to imagine how much I'd want that. Have I been alive I- I could've prevent my team from getting forgotten. I could've hold my daughter. I...

I was a fool. I wanted to be with them so bad I forgot about the ones who needed me. When could've done so much I--

I left them. I killed myself.

Words that were spoken so quietly they could be barely heard. Yet they still echoed through the field very clearly, not bothered by the sound of wind or rain. Words that no matter how much he tried to deny, they were always there, staining his miserable existence. For that was his truth and his end.

This is my punishment.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Accidents were not the only thing that became more frequent during the winter seasons. Night also took its toll. Freezing cold, with dark clouds hiding the bright stars.

This night was no different. After the duties and adventures came the time to rest. Poli could finally do that. Brush off his paranormal experience. Just snuggled into his warm bed and forget everything...

Except Thunder was there too. Watching the sleepy officer, preparing for his next move.

@thunder-rcp

Poli stretched out his arms, yawning and letting himself collapse onto the fluffy bed he always made. Wrapping himself in blue sheets, a sigh of exhaustion manages to roll out.

A wintery day equals double the rescues. Slippery roads causing cars to slip off and almost cause accidents, luckily the team were always there tor their citizens. It always has been. Patrols from day to night, using their entire bodies to hold off logs threatening to cause injury.

That.. usually consisted his day. But that didn't mean he despised his job. He loved.

But, of course rescuers need to slumber their own way into dreamland.

[thunder-rcp]

Rough day, huh?

Watching the robocar get comfortable in the blue bed of his, Thunder sat right besides him.

He did mention that he'd see him again tonight, and now he's here to keep his promise. He wasn't done talking.

What the ghost was about to do could be considered as violation of personal space. Yet the phantom couldn't think of any better way to communicate with the officer.

All he needed right now is for Poli to fall asleep.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Azure eyes soon began to flutter, the officer peacefully succumbing to the slumber he rightfully earned. A night where he thought he could sleep through, soon a dream could change his perspective on things.

Poli's eyes opened to a rather darker atmosphere. Gray cloudy skies threatening to strike thunder any moment. Although still disoriented, he brushes his hands over the surface he laid on. Grass.. Soft and nice to run your fingers through.

Ah, an usual dream. Wait– A dream where he could control his will? Poli certainly never had that occurrence. If he recalls correctly from Amber's many rambles, those were called lucid dreams.

Sitting right up, he looks around. A little puzzled but.. Alright, this was only the strangest thing that happened so far.

Just some cloudy skies. Gray as they can be.

[thunder-rcp]

What caused this type of dream was Thunder's job. The ghostly powers were strong, enough to enter one's dream by manipulating their system.

Poli's case was exactly that.

Grey thunder clouds surrounded him. Upon opening his eyes Thunder was greeted with the familiar blue silhouette, now lost in the grass field.

He looked at his hands. They looked... So real. It felt like he was alive again. An illusion to match Poli's mindset. He's forgotten by now how much his dark blue paint reflected the sky.

Right. The officer.

The old one stood up, approaching the kid from the back. He only stopped a mere few feet away, just barely entering the star's personal space.

Hello there, little one.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Wh-- Eh?!

Poli jolted from the sudden figure in his presence. He knew him all too well. A legendary policemen, known for protecting Broomstown as the first ever rescuer. He didn't know too much about his death, too..

But that didn't mean the officer wasn't shocked. Pointing at the older man, he stuttered out a messy sentence of confused rambles.

I--It's you! Thunder-- Wait, what are you doing here? L-Last time I checked I didn't have you in my dreams.. Not that I don't mind but it's just so--

Poli realized he was going off track, something that commonly happened for the leader. Returning his pointing figure back to him, he rested it onto his chin.

This is my first time meeting you.. I don't know what to say.. What should I say, what should I say..

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder leisurely tilted his head to the side. Such an extreme reaction. So much shock and emotion. It reminded him of how people acted around him a century ago.

Though such reaction is to be expected. He wouldn't be much different if he saw any of his friends in his dream...

Calm down, kid. No need for so much noise.

He walked closer to Poli. Despite the slight heigh difference, Thunder still managed to loom over the officer. Even after spending so much time losing his mind the ghost never lost his sense of authority.

Yet the talk shall be casual. His goal for now was to get closer to the star.

You seem to be aware of me. Tell me, do you know who I am?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Of course I do!

Poli said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. The person he studied for great periods, looked up to when he was at a loss with his own justice. It was always thunder. Picking himself up, he dusted the dirt off.

You're Thunder! I always clean your statue.. I don't know why, but I just dislike it when its dirty. Poli circled around the robocar with great interest, observing his parts. He only ever saw the car part of him. Your model is so interesting.. Jin would go crazy if she saw you! The officer laughs, sheepishly rubbing his chin. S-Sorry, it's just.. really weird. I never had a dream like this. You just..

He stood still, his arms resting onto his back. The star faced the great thunder who feared himself; Rather with much inspiration. He stood so close to something that could dare to strike the regulus off his space.

Feel so real.

[thunder-rcp]

He watched the officer with great curiosity. Wasn't the star afraid of the old ghost that could come down on the town like fiercest hurricane?

Or was there just a childlike need to explore?

Jin?... Wasn't that his mechanic. The inventor of the team.

Well, it's a little bit more than a dream.

You said something about this Jin girl. You cal her "sister", don't you? I'm truly sorry about what happened to her...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli immediately began to wave his hands around, nervously chuckling. The girl is safe now under his wing now. An overprotective brother, but a loveable dork at heart.

It's fine! Thank you so much for your concern, uhm.. s--sir! No, Thunder.. uhm.. Poli looks around. A--Anyway! I just.. wanna ask a few questions, if you don't mind of course.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

Alright.. I think you'd be interested in seeing the town.

Within a click of Thunder's fingers, the world around them began to transform. Grassy fields turning into dark mist of clouds before taking their final shape. Soon, the central town square was recognizable, although much different.

It was way emptier. With no huge statue in the middle of the road, but rather a small garden with lovely flowers. Many houses were just being built. It was the birth of Broomstown, its first golden age before the current team.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli stood there in awe. The town was fairly the same size, but the athmosphere was proven to be much different. The statue that people praided no more, rather a bed of flowers.

The officer walked over to the middle part of the town, looking around to see if anyone would bother to look. Not even a glance, he really was a ghost in this universe..

Poli kneels down to the flower beds height, softly feeling at the flowers. Most flowers there were planted to be expected. Daisies, roses.. but in the middle part laid black eyed susans.

They were bright, easy to catch ones eye.

Maybe Thunder liked them? But his sad expression didn't seem to state much..

Poli snaps his head towards the direction of the voices. They were so much similar to his team, but they were their own person.

That must have been your team.. Explaining safety like we do. Poli sheepishly laughs. They look pretty content with the town, though.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the town treated the poorly. Spitted Thunder. They were the bravest of the brave but the town still forgot them!

He hated it about the town. It hurt him. It hurt to watch them go. The pain that could never be forgotten.

Blaze, Finn and William. They all dreamed of days of glory when their names would be known. The boys hoped to start a family one day, watch how their legacy grew.

Legacy that was often compared to seeds. Flowers that one probably wouldn't get to see. Unfortunately these seeds were never meant to sprout as they were stepped on by the cruelty of the world.

They only flowers that the deceased team saw were those put next to their picture in the officer's old bedroom. A way to grieve his old friends.

But that wasn't meant to be...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli replied with a dejected hum, plucking a few flowers from the flowerbed. He'll save it for when the time comes.. All what the old ghost needs is a little warmth in the heavy storms. I.. see. Poli inspects the scene further, walking closer to the other rescue members. He tries to interact with his hand.. Alas, it phases through them completely. The officer couldn't exactly relate with Thunder on this particular topic. He couldn't believe the town just.. threw the rescue team away like unused toys they got bored of. Even when the town now was commonly known for their misfortunes and accidents, the citizens still loved the team and cherished them. How unfair.. The leader shouldn't have that much praise compared to Thunder's history. I'm.. uh, Poli wanted to say something. Anything. Thunder seemed so aloof, what could he do. My-- Mother always said something to cheer me up. Eclipse.. ''Even when the stars gossip, your family will always be there for you.'' It's-- Silly I know-- But it always comforted me! Even if the town was terrible, you at least had your team.. Right?

[thunder-rcp]

A tiny grin pulled at the corners of his mouth. Thunder finally dared to look away from the rescuers.

That... Is somewhat comforting. Wish it was like that for me..

Another couple of voices entered the square. It was a younger version of Thunder and his wife.

Rogue...

He praises her dearly beloved with his eyes. Oh, but how special was the red car.

Could you tell me a little more about your mother, little one?

[daily-rcp-poli]

M--My mom? Well, uhm..

Childhood stories begin to play on the canvas, full of colour and strokes of playing around grassy fields with his dog. Mother watching over two with an approved glee.

Eclipse had always made sure a meal was warm and ready onto the table, one that was made too hot for her husband, a meal just right for Poli.

And her meal was always cold at end, but she didn't mind. She was just happy to see her little family cherished.

Mom always made sure I was healthy! Whenever I got sick she always took care of me.. sung my lullabies. Or even share stories about dads family. Poli ponders to the side. Come to think of it, I dunno much about her.. All I know dad was always apart of the force.

A red car follows Thunders eyes, Poli immediately notes that they softened in almost an instant. Best not to ask about it, though.. The wandering soul was already in sorrow enough.

But she's a really great mother.

[thunder-rcp]

A soft chuckle escapes his lips. His eyes were glued to the red car.

My wife was just like that with our daughter. Melody was her name.

The setting suddenly changed once more. Dark clouds taking a new shape, this time of a vintage house.

Quiet singing filled the air as a young purple car joyfully performed in front of her mother. The red car was peacefully writing something, enjoying her daughter's voice.

Thunder's eyes softened in an instant. It was one of the happy moments in the broken family he wished he was a part of.

Rogue brought her up on her own, a wonderful lady. Melody grew up asking a lot about her old man, but she never told her much.

You can't even begin to imagine how much I wanted to be there for them. To hug them tight. Tell them that I'm sorry for leaving.

So many things could've been avoided, and it's all my fault...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Two cars happily enjoying the scenery together, despite it being formed in dark clouds a cheerful melody played through out the creation. A daughter with a passion for singing, and a moher who brought herself into her writings.

As happy as the image could be, it still remained. A void of a father who was supposed to be there, doting on his wife and singing along.

Now only remaining a ghost who griefed moments.

You can't forsee the future, y'know?.. A hint of nervousness was obvious in his tone, careful not to say the wrong thing. But.. it's not like you wanted these things to happen. I can see it in you. You didn't have any grudges.

Poli awkwardly shuffled closer to the ghost, raising his hand to pat on his shoulder..

To his suprise, his hands actually made contact with Thunder's shoulders. Could it be a similar feeling when Thunder laid his hands on the officer?

An iced touch, but yet so warm.

I bet Melody would be amazed to see someone like you. I looked up to my dad a lot.. Even if he cut the officer off his life, rolling his eyes at the small car when his son approached him. Maybe she feels the same. Even if she doesn't really know it.

[thunder-rcp]

Feeling the pat on his shoulder, Thunder couldn't help but feel the need to distance himself. But he didn't.

It was the first time in century when he's been comforted by someone. Someone who blindly believed in his good. Comfort he did not deserve.

That's the issue here, Poli. She's been looking up to me all her life, wanting to be a rescuer. Yet Rogue cut it off from her, so my daughter's desire became a heavy weight on her children. The nasty memory made him clutch his fists. Very soon, it became a necessity for every following generation to be a rescuer in a way...

He remembered watching his family as a ghost. The countless arguments the two cars had when the youngest asked about her father.

Rogue made sure she could never become a robocar, fearing the worst. But no one could predict that it would result in the family's fallout and generational trauma.

Tell me... Why do you look up to me, son?

[daily-rcp-poli]

There were many, many countless of reasons why the star looked so brightly on something most people feared; Thunder. A rescuer who was like the weather, unpredictable and even dangerous at times.

But..

He felt like he already sugarcoated so much of the rescuer already, exclaiming things of him saving the town.. Protecting his citizens. Poli felt conflicted.

Thunder wasn't all about rescusing. He was still practically a person. One just like him.

Poli begins to speak. Words of uncertain began to roll out, but they all seemed genuine.

I don't know why but.. uhm, there's countless of reasons why I respect you so much. But this one is just on my mind!

Poli directs Thunder's shoulders to his direction, facing him with an warmed expression.

One could almost compare it to a feeling of family.

You just.. feel so close to me. I don't know why..

Poli looks away.

I'm looking for that answer too.

[thunder-rcp]

The star shined so bright. Young and naïve he was, unaware of the dangers someone like Thunder posed. Unaware of his deeds..

I...

The connection. The feeling of familiarity. The closeness. So Thunder wasn't the only one feeling this way. Could there actually be something between him and Poli?

I too feel that closeness. It's the reason I visited you. To figure that out... But that shouldn't be a reason for you to look up to me!

The great thunder turned his head towards the little star. He looked him right in the eyes. Cold and stern, just barely 'alive' at this point.

Maybe the source of connection was in something else. Maybe it's time for the ghost to reveal the dirtiest of his deeds.

Poli, tell me. If all of your team were dead, if the town forgot about them and their names... What would you do?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Accidents were not the only thing that became more frequent during the winter seasons. Night also took its toll. Freezing cold, with dark clouds hiding the bright stars.

This night was no different. After the duties and adventures came the time to rest. Poli could finally do that. Brush off his paranormal experience. Just snuggled into his warm bed and forget everything...

Except Thunder was there too. Watching the sleepy officer, preparing for his next move.

@thunder-rcp

Poli stretched out his arms, yawning and letting himself collapse onto the fluffy bed he always made. Wrapping himself in blue sheets, a sigh of exhaustion manages to roll out.

A wintery day equals double the rescues. Slippery roads causing cars to slip off and almost cause accidents, luckily the team were always there tor their citizens. It always has been. Patrols from day to night, using their entire bodies to hold off logs threatening to cause injury.

That.. usually consisted his day. But that didn't mean he despised his job. He loved.

But, of course rescuers need to slumber their own way into dreamland.

[thunder-rcp]

Rough day, huh?

Watching the robocar get comfortable in the blue bed of his, Thunder sat right besides him.

He did mention that he'd see him again tonight, and now he's here to keep his promise. He wasn't done talking.

What the ghost was about to do could be considered as violation of personal space. Yet the phantom couldn't think of any better way to communicate with the officer.

All he needed right now is for Poli to fall asleep.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Azure eyes soon began to flutter, the officer peacefully succumbing to the slumber he rightfully earned. A night where he thought he could sleep through, soon a dream could change his perspective on things.

Poli's eyes opened to a rather darker atmosphere. Gray cloudy skies threatening to strike thunder any moment. Although still disoriented, he brushes his hands over the surface he laid on. Grass.. Soft and nice to run your fingers through.

Ah, an usual dream. Wait– A dream where he could control his will? Poli certainly never had that occurrence. If he recalls correctly from Amber's many rambles, those were called lucid dreams.

Sitting right up, he looks around. A little puzzled but.. Alright, this was only the strangest thing that happened so far.

Just some cloudy skies. Gray as they can be.

[thunder-rcp]

What caused this type of dream was Thunder's job. The ghostly powers were strong, enough to enter one's dream by manipulating their system.

Poli's case was exactly that.

Grey thunder clouds surrounded him. Upon opening his eyes Thunder was greeted with the familiar blue silhouette, now lost in the grass field.

He looked at his hands. They looked... So real. It felt like he was alive again. An illusion to match Poli's mindset. He's forgotten by now how much his dark blue paint reflected the sky.

Right. The officer.

The old one stood up, approaching the kid from the back. He only stopped a mere few feet away, just barely entering the star's personal space.

Hello there, little one.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Wh-- Eh?!

Poli jolted from the sudden figure in his presence. He knew him all too well. A legendary policemen, known for protecting Broomstown as the first ever rescuer. He didn't know too much about his death, too..

But that didn't mean the officer wasn't shocked. Pointing at the older man, he stuttered out a messy sentence of confused rambles.

I--It's you! Thunder-- Wait, what are you doing here? L-Last time I checked I didn't have you in my dreams.. Not that I don't mind but it's just so--

Poli realized he was going off track, something that commonly happened for the leader. Returning his pointing figure back to him, he rested it onto his chin.

This is my first time meeting you.. I don't know what to say.. What should I say, what should I say..

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder leisurely tilted his head to the side. Such an extreme reaction. So much shock and emotion. It reminded him of how people acted around him a century ago.

Though such reaction is to be expected. He wouldn't be much different if he saw any of his friends in his dream...

Calm down, kid. No need for so much noise.

He walked closer to Poli. Despite the slight heigh difference, Thunder still managed to loom over the officer. Even after spending so much time losing his mind the ghost never lost his sense of authority.

Yet the talk shall be casual. His goal for now was to get closer to the star.

You seem to be aware of me. Tell me, do you know who I am?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Of course I do!

Poli said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. The person he studied for great periods, looked up to when he was at a loss with his own justice. It was always thunder. Picking himself up, he dusted the dirt off.

You're Thunder! I always clean your statue.. I don't know why, but I just dislike it when its dirty. Poli circled around the robocar with great interest, observing his parts. He only ever saw the car part of him. Your model is so interesting.. Jin would go crazy if she saw you! The officer laughs, sheepishly rubbing his chin. S-Sorry, it's just.. really weird. I never had a dream like this. You just..

He stood still, his arms resting onto his back. The star faced the great thunder who feared himself; Rather with much inspiration. He stood so close to something that could dare to strike the regulus off his space.

Feel so real.

[thunder-rcp]

He watched the officer with great curiosity. Wasn't the star afraid of the old ghost that could come down on the town like fiercest hurricane?

Or was there just a childlike need to explore?

Jin?... Wasn't that his mechanic. The inventor of the team.

Well, it's a little bit more than a dream.

You said something about this Jin girl. You cal her "sister", don't you? I'm truly sorry about what happened to her...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli immediately began to wave his hands around, nervously chuckling. The girl is safe now under his wing now. An overprotective brother, but a loveable dork at heart.

It's fine! Thank you so much for your concern, uhm.. s--sir! No, Thunder.. uhm.. Poli looks around. A--Anyway! I just.. wanna ask a few questions, if you don't mind of course.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Blaze, Finn and William. They all dreamed of days of glory when their names would be known. The boys hoped to start a family one day, watch how their legacy grew.

Legacy that was often compared to seeds. Flowers that one probably wouldn't get to see. Unfortunately these seeds were never meant to sprout as they were stepped on by the cruelty of the world.

They only flowers that the deceased team saw were those put next to their picture in the officer's old bedroom. A way to grieve his old friends.

But that wasn't meant to be...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli replied with a dejected hum, plucking a few flowers from the flowerbed. He'll save it for when the time comes.. All what the old ghost needs is a little warmth in the heavy storms. I.. see. Poli inspects the scene further, walking closer to the other rescue members. He tries to interact with his hand.. Alas, it phases through them completely. The officer couldn't exactly relate with Thunder on this particular topic. He couldn't believe the town just.. threw the rescue team away like unused toys they got bored of. Even when the town now was commonly known for their misfortunes and accidents, the citizens still loved the team and cherished them. How unfair.. The leader shouldn't have that much praise compared to Thunder's history. I'm.. uh, Poli wanted to say something. Anything. Thunder seemed so aloof, what could he do. My-- Mother always said something to cheer me up. Eclipse.. ''Even when the stars gossip, your family will always be there for you.'' It's-- Silly I know-- But it always comforted me! Even if the town was terrible, you at least had your team.. Right?

[thunder-rcp]

A tiny grin pulled at the corners of his mouth. Thunder finally dared to look away from the rescuers.

That... Is somewhat comforting. Wish it was like that for me..

Another couple of voices entered the square. It was a younger version of Thunder and his wife.

Rogue...

He praises her dearly beloved with his eyes. Oh, but how special was the red car.

Could you tell me a little more about your mother, little one?

M--My mom? Well, uhm..

Childhood stories begin to play on the canvas, full of colour and strokes of playing around grassy fields with his dog. Mother watching over two with an approved glee.

Eclipse had always made sure a meal was warm and ready onto the table, one that was made too hot for her husband, a meal just right for Poli.

And her meal was always cold at end, but she didn't mind. She was just happy to see her little family cherished.

Mom always made sure I was healthy! Whenever I got sick she always took care of me.. sung my lullabies. Or even share stories about dads family. Poli ponders to the side. Come to think of it, I dunno much about her.. All I know dad was always apart of the force.

A red car follows Thunders eyes, Poli immediately notes that they softened in almost an instant. Best not to ask about it, though.. The wandering soul was already in sorrow enough.

But she's a really great mother.

[thunder-rcp]

A soft chuckle escapes his lips. His eyes were glued to the red car.

My wife was just like that with our daughter. Melody was her name.

The setting suddenly changed once more. Dark clouds taking a new shape, this time of a vintage house.

Quiet singing filled the air as a young purple car joyfully performed in front of her mother. The red car was peacefully writing something, enjoying her daughter's voice.

Thunder's eyes softened in an instant. It was one of the happy moments in the broken family he wished he was a part of.

Rogue brought her up on her own, a wonderful lady. Melody grew up asking a lot about her old man, but she never told her much.

You can't even begin to imagine how much I wanted to be there for them. To hug them tight. Tell them that I'm sorry for leaving.

So many things could've been avoided, and it's all my fault...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Two cars happily enjoying the scenery together, despite it being formed in dark clouds a cheerful melody played through out the creation. A daughter with a passion for singing, and a moher who brought herself into her writings.

As happy as the image could be, it still remained. A void of a father who was supposed to be there, doting on his wife and singing along.

Now only remaining a ghost who griefed moments.

You can't forsee the future, y'know?.. A hint of nervousness was obvious in his tone, careful not to say the wrong thing. But.. it's not like you wanted these things to happen. I can see it in you. You didn't have any grudges.

Poli awkwardly shuffled closer to the ghost, raising his hand to pat on his shoulder..

To his suprise, his hands actually made contact with Thunder's shoulders. Could it be a similar feeling when Thunder laid his hands on the officer?

An iced touch, but yet so warm.

I bet Melody would be amazed to see someone like you. I looked up to my dad a lot.. Even if he cut the officer off his life, rolling his eyes at the small car when his son approached him. Maybe she feels the same. Even if she doesn't really know it.

[thunder-rcp]

Feeling the pat on his shoulder, Thunder couldn't help but feel the need to distance himself. But he didn't.

It was the first time in century when he's been comforted by someone. Someone who blindly believed in his good. Comfort he did not deserve.

That's the issue here, Poli. She's been looking up to me all her life, wanting to be a rescuer. Yet Rogue cut it off from her, so my daughter's desire became a heavy weight on her children. The nasty memory made him clutch his fists. Very soon, it became a necessity for every following generation to be a rescuer in a way...

He remembered watching his family as a ghost. The countless arguments the two cars had when the youngest asked about her father.

Rogue made sure she could never become a robocar, fearing the worst. But no one could predict that it would result in the family's fallout and generational trauma.

Tell me... Why do you look up to me, son?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Accidents were not the only thing that became more frequent during the winter seasons. Night also took its toll. Freezing cold, with dark clouds hiding the bright stars.

This night was no different. After the duties and adventures came the time to rest. Poli could finally do that. Brush off his paranormal experience. Just snuggled into his warm bed and forget everything...

Except Thunder was there too. Watching the sleepy officer, preparing for his next move.

@thunder-rcp

Poli stretched out his arms, yawning and letting himself collapse onto the fluffy bed he always made. Wrapping himself in blue sheets, a sigh of exhaustion manages to roll out.

A wintery day equals double the rescues. Slippery roads causing cars to slip off and almost cause accidents, luckily the team were always there tor their citizens. It always has been. Patrols from day to night, using their entire bodies to hold off logs threatening to cause injury.

That.. usually consisted his day. But that didn't mean he despised his job. He loved.

But, of course rescuers need to slumber their own way into dreamland.

[thunder-rcp]

Rough day, huh?

Watching the robocar get comfortable in the blue bed of his, Thunder sat right besides him.

He did mention that he'd see him again tonight, and now he's here to keep his promise. He wasn't done talking.

What the ghost was about to do could be considered as violation of personal space. Yet the phantom couldn't think of any better way to communicate with the officer.

All he needed right now is for Poli to fall asleep.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Azure eyes soon began to flutter, the officer peacefully succumbing to the slumber he rightfully earned. A night where he thought he could sleep through, soon a dream could change his perspective on things.

Poli's eyes opened to a rather darker atmosphere. Gray cloudy skies threatening to strike thunder any moment. Although still disoriented, he brushes his hands over the surface he laid on. Grass.. Soft and nice to run your fingers through.

Ah, an usual dream. Wait– A dream where he could control his will? Poli certainly never had that occurrence. If he recalls correctly from Amber's many rambles, those were called lucid dreams.

Sitting right up, he looks around. A little puzzled but.. Alright, this was only the strangest thing that happened so far.

Just some cloudy skies. Gray as they can be.

[thunder-rcp]

What caused this type of dream was Thunder's job. The ghostly powers were strong, enough to enter one's dream by manipulating their system.

Poli's case was exactly that.

Grey thunder clouds surrounded him. Upon opening his eyes Thunder was greeted with the familiar blue silhouette, now lost in the grass field.

He looked at his hands. They looked... So real. It felt like he was alive again. An illusion to match Poli's mindset. He's forgotten by now how much his dark blue paint reflected the sky.

Right. The officer.

The old one stood up, approaching the kid from the back. He only stopped a mere few feet away, just barely entering the star's personal space.

Hello there, little one.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Wh-- Eh?!

Poli jolted from the sudden figure in his presence. He knew him all too well. A legendary policemen, known for protecting Broomstown as the first ever rescuer. He didn't know too much about his death, too..

But that didn't mean the officer wasn't shocked. Pointing at the older man, he stuttered out a messy sentence of confused rambles.

I--It's you! Thunder-- Wait, what are you doing here? L-Last time I checked I didn't have you in my dreams.. Not that I don't mind but it's just so--

Poli realized he was going off track, something that commonly happened for the leader. Returning his pointing figure back to him, he rested it onto his chin.

This is my first time meeting you.. I don't know what to say.. What should I say, what should I say..

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder leisurely tilted his head to the side. Such an extreme reaction. So much shock and emotion. It reminded him of how people acted around him a century ago.

Though such reaction is to be expected. He wouldn't be much different if he saw any of his friends in his dream...

Calm down, kid. No need for so much noise.

He walked closer to Poli. Despite the slight heigh difference, Thunder still managed to loom over the officer. Even after spending so much time losing his mind the ghost never lost his sense of authority.

Yet the talk shall be casual. His goal for now was to get closer to the star.

You seem to be aware of me. Tell me, do you know who I am?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Of course I do!

Poli said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. The person he studied for great periods, looked up to when he was at a loss with his own justice. It was always thunder. Picking himself up, he dusted the dirt off.

You're Thunder! I always clean your statue.. I don't know why, but I just dislike it when its dirty. Poli circled around the robocar with great interest, observing his parts. He only ever saw the car part of him. Your model is so interesting.. Jin would go crazy if she saw you! The officer laughs, sheepishly rubbing his chin. S-Sorry, it's just.. really weird. I never had a dream like this. You just..

He stood still, his arms resting onto his back. The star faced the great thunder who feared himself; Rather with much inspiration. He stood so close to something that could dare to strike the regulus off his space.

Feel so real.

[thunder-rcp]

He watched the officer with great curiosity. Wasn't the star afraid of the old ghost that could come down on the town like fiercest hurricane?

Or was there just a childlike need to explore?

Jin?... Wasn't that his mechanic. The inventor of the team.

Well, it's a little bit more than a dream.

You said something about this Jin girl. You cal her "sister", don't you? I'm truly sorry about what happened to her...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli immediately began to wave his hands around, nervously chuckling. The girl is safe now under his wing now. An overprotective brother, but a loveable dork at heart.

It's fine! Thank you so much for your concern, uhm.. s--sir! No, Thunder.. uhm.. Poli looks around. A--Anyway! I just.. wanna ask a few questions, if you don't mind of course.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

Alright.. I think you'd be interested in seeing the town.

Within a click of Thunder's fingers, the world around them began to transform. Grassy fields turning into dark mist of clouds before taking their final shape. Soon, the central town square was recognizable, although much different.

It was way emptier. With no huge statue in the middle of the road, but rather a small garden with lovely flowers. Many houses were just being built. It was the birth of Broomstown, its first golden age before the current team.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli stood there in awe. The town was fairly the same size, but the athmosphere was proven to be much different. The statue that people praided no more, rather a bed of flowers.

The officer walked over to the middle part of the town, looking around to see if anyone would bother to look. Not even a glance, he really was a ghost in this universe..

Poli kneels down to the flower beds height, softly feeling at the flowers. Most flowers there were planted to be expected. Daisies, roses.. but in the middle part laid black eyed susans.

They were bright, easy to catch ones eye.

Maybe Thunder liked them? But his sad expression didn't seem to state much..

Poli snaps his head towards the direction of the voices. They were so much similar to his team, but they were their own person.

That must have been your team.. Explaining safety like we do. Poli sheepishly laughs. They look pretty content with the town, though.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the town treated the poorly. Spitted Thunder. They were the bravest of the brave but the town still forgot them!

He hated it about the town. It hurt him. It hurt to watch them go. The pain that could never be forgotten.

Blaze, Finn and William. They all dreamed of days of glory when their names would be known. The boys hoped to start a family one day, watch how their legacy grew.

Legacy that was often compared to seeds. Flowers that one probably wouldn't get to see. Unfortunately these seeds were never meant to sprout as they were stepped on by the cruelty of the world.

They only flowers that the deceased team saw were those put next to their picture in the officer's old bedroom. A way to grieve his old friends.

But that wasn't meant to be...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli replied with a dejected hum, plucking a few flowers from the flowerbed. He'll save it for when the time comes.. All what the old ghost needs is a little warmth in the heavy storms. I.. see. Poli inspects the scene further, walking closer to the other rescue members. He tries to interact with his hand.. Alas, it phases through them completely. The officer couldn't exactly relate with Thunder on this particular topic. He couldn't believe the town just.. threw the rescue team away like unused toys they got bored of. Even when the town now was commonly known for their misfortunes and accidents, the citizens still loved the team and cherished them. How unfair.. The leader shouldn't have that much praise compared to Thunder's history. I'm.. uh, Poli wanted to say something. Anything. Thunder seemed so aloof, what could he do. My-- Mother always said something to cheer me up. Eclipse.. ''Even when the stars gossip, your family will always be there for you.'' It's-- Silly I know-- But it always comforted me! Even if the town was terrible, you at least had your team.. Right?

[thunder-rcp]

A tiny grin pulled at the corners of his mouth. Thunder finally dared to look away from the rescuers.

That... Is somewhat comforting. Wish it was like that for me..

Another couple of voices entered the square. It was a younger version of Thunder and his wife.

Rogue...

He praises her dearly beloved with his eyes. Oh, but how special was the red car.

Could you tell me a little more about your mother, little one?

[daily-rcp-poli]

M--My mom? Well, uhm..

Childhood stories begin to play on the canvas, full of colour and strokes of playing around grassy fields with his dog. Mother watching over two with an approved glee.

Eclipse had always made sure a meal was warm and ready onto the table, one that was made too hot for her husband, a meal just right for Poli.

And her meal was always cold at end, but she didn't mind. She was just happy to see her little family cherished.

A red car follows Thunders eyes, Poli immediately notes that they softened in almost an instant. Best not to ask about it, though.. The wandering soul was already in sorrow enough.

But she's a really great mother.

[thunder-rcp]

A soft chuckle escapes his lips. His eyes were glued to the red car.

My wife was just like that with our daughter. Melody was her name.

The setting suddenly changed once more. Dark clouds taking a new shape, this time of a vintage house.

Quiet singing filled the air as a young purple car joyfully performed in front of her mother. The red car was peacefully writing something, enjoying her daughter's voice.

Thunder's eyes softened in an instant. It was one of the happy moments in the broken family he wished he was a part of.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

Alright.. I think you'd be interested in seeing the town.

Within a click of Thunder's fingers, the world around them began to transform. Grassy fields turning into dark mist of clouds before taking their final shape. Soon, the central town square was recognizable, although much different.

It was way emptier. With no huge statue in the middle of the road, but rather a small garden with lovely flowers. Many houses were just being built. It was the birth of Broomstown, its first golden age before the current team.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli stood there in awe. The town was fairly the same size, but the athmosphere was proven to be much different. The statue that people praided no more, rather a bed of flowers.

The officer walked over to the middle part of the town, looking around to see if anyone would bother to look. Not even a glance, he really was a ghost in this universe..

Poli kneels down to the flower beds height, softly feeling at the flowers. Most flowers there were planted to be expected. Daisies, roses.. but in the middle part laid black eyed susans.

They were bright, easy to catch ones eye.

Maybe Thunder liked them? But his sad expression didn't seem to state much..

Poli snaps his head towards the direction of the voices. They were so much similar to his team, but they were their own person.

That must have been your team.. Explaining safety like we do. Poli sheepishly laughs. They look pretty content with the town, though.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the town treated the poorly. Spitted Thunder. They were the bravest of the brave but the town still forgot them!

He hated it about the town. It hurt him. It hurt to watch them go. The pain that could never be forgotten.

Blaze, Finn and William. They all dreamed of days of glory when their names would be known. The boys hoped to start a family one day, watch how their legacy grew.

Legacy that was often compared to seeds. Flowers that one probably wouldn't get to see. Unfortunately these seeds were never meant to sprout as they were stepped on by the cruelty of the world.

They only flowers that the deceased team saw were those put next to their picture in the officer's old bedroom. A way to grieve his old friends.

But that wasn't meant to be...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli replied with a dejected hum, plucking a few flowers from the flowerbed. He'll save it for when the time comes.. All what the old ghost needs is a little warmth in the heavy storms. I.. see. Poli inspects the scene further, walking closer to the other rescue members. He tries to interact with his hand.. Alas, it phases through them completely. The officer couldn't exactly relate with Thunder on this particular topic. He couldn't believe the town just.. threw the rescue team away like unused toys they got bored of. Even when the town now was commonly known for their misfortunes and accidents, the citizens still loved the team and cherished them. How unfair.. The leader shouldn't have that much praise compared to Thunder's history. I'm.. uh, Poli wanted to say something. Anything. Thunder seemed so aloof, what could he do. My-- Mother always said something to cheer me up. Eclipse.. ''Even when the stars gossip, your family will always be there for you.'' It's-- Silly I know-- But it always comforted me! Even if the town was terrible, you at least had your team.. Right?

[thunder-rcp]

A tiny grin pulled at the corners of his mouth. Thunder finally dared to look away from the rescuers.

That... Is somewhat comforting. Wish it was like that for me..

Another couple of voices entered the square. It was a younger version of Thunder and his wife.

Rogue...

He praises her dearly beloved with his eyes. Oh, but how special was the red car.

Could you tell me a little more about your mother, little one?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Accidents were not the only thing that became more frequent during the winter seasons. Night also took its toll. Freezing cold, with dark clouds hiding the bright stars.

This night was no different. After the duties and adventures came the time to rest. Poli could finally do that. Brush off his paranormal experience. Just snuggled into his warm bed and forget everything...

Except Thunder was there too. Watching the sleepy officer, preparing for his next move.

@thunder-rcp

Poli stretched out his arms, yawning and letting himself collapse onto the fluffy bed he always made. Wrapping himself in blue sheets, a sigh of exhaustion manages to roll out.

A wintery day equals double the rescues. Slippery roads causing cars to slip off and almost cause accidents, luckily the team were always there tor their citizens. It always has been. Patrols from day to night, using their entire bodies to hold off logs threatening to cause injury.

That.. usually consisted his day. But that didn't mean he despised his job. He loved.

But, of course rescuers need to slumber their own way into dreamland.

[thunder-rcp]

Rough day, huh?

Watching the robocar get comfortable in the blue bed of his, Thunder sat right besides him.

He did mention that he'd see him again tonight, and now he's here to keep his promise. He wasn't done talking.

What the ghost was about to do could be considered as violation of personal space. Yet the phantom couldn't think of any better way to communicate with the officer.

All he needed right now is for Poli to fall asleep.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Azure eyes soon began to flutter, the officer peacefully succumbing to the slumber he rightfully earned. A night where he thought he could sleep through, soon a dream could change his perspective on things.

Poli's eyes opened to a rather darker atmosphere. Gray cloudy skies threatening to strike thunder any moment. Although still disoriented, he brushes his hands over the surface he laid on. Grass.. Soft and nice to run your fingers through.

Ah, an usual dream. Wait– A dream where he could control his will? Poli certainly never had that occurrence. If he recalls correctly from Amber's many rambles, those were called lucid dreams.

Sitting right up, he looks around. A little puzzled but.. Alright, this was only the strangest thing that happened so far.

Just some cloudy skies. Gray as they can be.

[thunder-rcp]

What caused this type of dream was Thunder's job. The ghostly powers were strong, enough to enter one's dream by manipulating their system.

Poli's case was exactly that.

Grey thunder clouds surrounded him. Upon opening his eyes Thunder was greeted with the familiar blue silhouette, now lost in the grass field.

He looked at his hands. They looked... So real. It felt like he was alive again. An illusion to match Poli's mindset. He's forgotten by now how much his dark blue paint reflected the sky.

Right. The officer.

The old one stood up, approaching the kid from the back. He only stopped a mere few feet away, just barely entering the star's personal space.

Hello there, little one.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Wh-- Eh?!

Poli jolted from the sudden figure in his presence. He knew him all too well. A legendary policemen, known for protecting Broomstown as the first ever rescuer. He didn't know too much about his death, too..

But that didn't mean the officer wasn't shocked. Pointing at the older man, he stuttered out a messy sentence of confused rambles.

I--It's you! Thunder-- Wait, what are you doing here? L-Last time I checked I didn't have you in my dreams.. Not that I don't mind but it's just so--

Poli realized he was going off track, something that commonly happened for the leader. Returning his pointing figure back to him, he rested it onto his chin.

This is my first time meeting you.. I don't know what to say.. What should I say, what should I say..

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder leisurely tilted his head to the side. Such an extreme reaction. So much shock and emotion. It reminded him of how people acted around him a century ago.

Though such reaction is to be expected. He wouldn't be much different if he saw any of his friends in his dream...

Calm down, kid. No need for so much noise.

He walked closer to Poli. Despite the slight heigh difference, Thunder still managed to loom over the officer. Even after spending so much time losing his mind the ghost never lost his sense of authority.

Yet the talk shall be casual. His goal for now was to get closer to the star.

You seem to be aware of me. Tell me, do you know who I am?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Of course I do!

Poli said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. The person he studied for great periods, looked up to when he was at a loss with his own justice. It was always thunder. Picking himself up, he dusted the dirt off.

You're Thunder! I always clean your statue.. I don't know why, but I just dislike it when its dirty. Poli circled around the robocar with great interest, observing his parts. He only ever saw the car part of him. Your model is so interesting.. Jin would go crazy if she saw you! The officer laughs, sheepishly rubbing his chin. S-Sorry, it's just.. really weird. I never had a dream like this. You just..

He stood still, his arms resting onto his back. The star faced the great thunder who feared himself; Rather with much inspiration. He stood so close to something that could dare to strike the regulus off his space.

Feel so real.

[thunder-rcp]

He watched the officer with great curiosity. Wasn't the star afraid of the old ghost that could come down on the town like fiercest hurricane?

Or was there just a childlike need to explore?

Jin?... Wasn't that his mechanic. The inventor of the team.

Well, it's a little bit more than a dream.

You said something about this Jin girl. You cal her "sister", don't you? I'm truly sorry about what happened to her...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli immediately began to wave his hands around, nervously chuckling. The girl is safe now under his wing now. An overprotective brother, but a loveable dork at heart.

It's fine! Thank you so much for your concern, uhm.. s--sir! No, Thunder.. uhm.. Poli looks around. A--Anyway! I just.. wanna ask a few questions, if you don't mind of course.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

Alright.. I think you'd be interested in seeing the town.

Within a click of Thunder's fingers, the world around them began to transform. Grassy fields turning into dark mist of clouds before taking their final shape. Soon, the central town square was recognizable, although much different.

It was way emptier. With no huge statue in the middle of the road, but rather a small garden with lovely flowers. Many houses were just being built. It was the birth of Broomstown, its first golden age before the current team.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli stood there in awe. The town was fairly the same size, but the athmosphere was proven to be much different. The statue that people praided no more, rather a bed of flowers.

The officer walked over to the middle part of the town, looking around to see if anyone would bother to look. Not even a glance, he really was a ghost in this universe..

Poli kneels down to the flower beds height, softly feeling at the flowers. Most flowers there were planted to be expected. Daisies, roses.. but in the middle part laid black eyed susans.

They were bright, easy to catch ones eye.

Maybe Thunder liked them? But his sad expression didn't seem to state much..

Poli snaps his head towards the direction of the voices. They were so much similar to his team, but they were their own person.

That must have been your team.. Explaining safety like we do. Poli sheepishly laughs. They look pretty content with the town, though.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the town treated the poorly. Spitted Thunder. They were the bravest of the brave but the town still forgot them!

He hated it about the town. It hurt him. It hurt to watch them go. The pain that could never be forgotten.

Blaze, Finn and William. They all dreamed of days of glory when their names would be known. The boys hoped to start a family one day, watch how their legacy grew.

Legacy that was often compared to seeds. Flowers that one probably wouldn't get to see. Unfortunately these seeds were never meant to sprout as they were stepped on by the cruelty of the world.

They only flowers that the deceased team saw were those put next to their picture in the officer's old bedroom. A way to grieve his old friends.

But that wasn't meant to be...

[thunder-rcp]

How did you feel when poli.. yk.. wanted to oof himself?

I can't read people's minds but... Since I've been watching him ever since his arrival in Broomstown, at some point, it was clear what he wanted to do...

[thunder-rcp]

In the rp, when you said “Don’t ever do that! You must be a blind idiot to want to end your life!” resonated with me more than it should have…

I am... Truly sorry. I am not sure.what happened to you, little one, but I hope you're doing better.

Just know that you can push through whatever hardship you're going through and that there are people who care about you. And.. Please, never do that.

If you ever need someone, you can always talk to me, little one. I'll try to offer whatever comfort I can.

Accidents were not the only thing that became more frequent during the winter seasons. Night also took its toll. Freezing cold, with dark clouds hiding the bright stars.

This night was no different. After the duties and adventures came the time to rest. Poli could finally do that. Brush off his paranormal experience. Just snuggled into his warm bed and forget everything...

Except Thunder was there too. Watching the sleepy officer, preparing for his next move.

@thunder-rcp

Poli stretched out his arms, yawning and letting himself collapse onto the fluffy bed he always made. Wrapping himself in blue sheets, a sigh of exhaustion manages to roll out.

A wintery day equals double the rescues. Slippery roads causing cars to slip off and almost cause accidents, luckily the team were always there tor their citizens. It always has been. Patrols from day to night, using their entire bodies to hold off logs threatening to cause injury.

That.. usually consisted his day. But that didn't mean he despised his job. He loved.

But, of course rescuers need to slumber their own way into dreamland.

[thunder-rcp]

Rough day, huh?

Watching the robocar get comfortable in the blue bed of his, Thunder sat right besides him.

He did mention that he'd see him again tonight, and now he's here to keep his promise. He wasn't done talking.

What the ghost was about to do could be considered as violation of personal space. Yet the phantom couldn't think of any better way to communicate with the officer.

All he needed right now is for Poli to fall asleep.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Azure eyes soon began to flutter, the officer peacefully succumbing to the slumber he rightfully earned. A night where he thought he could sleep through, soon a dream could change his perspective on things.

Poli's eyes opened to a rather darker atmosphere. Gray cloudy skies threatening to strike thunder any moment. Although still disoriented, he brushes his hands over the surface he laid on. Grass.. Soft and nice to run your fingers through.

Ah, an usual dream. Wait– A dream where he could control his will? Poli certainly never had that occurrence. If he recalls correctly from Amber's many rambles, those were called lucid dreams.

Sitting right up, he looks around. A little puzzled but.. Alright, this was only the strangest thing that happened so far.

Just some cloudy skies. Gray as they can be.

[thunder-rcp]

What caused this type of dream was Thunder's job. The ghostly powers were strong, enough to enter one's dream by manipulating their system.

Poli's case was exactly that.

Grey thunder clouds surrounded him. Upon opening his eyes Thunder was greeted with the familiar blue silhouette, now lost in the grass field.

He looked at his hands. They looked... So real. It felt like he was alive again. An illusion to match Poli's mindset. He's forgotten by now how much his dark blue paint reflected the sky.

Right. The officer.

The old one stood up, approaching the kid from the back. He only stopped a mere few feet away, just barely entering the star's personal space.

Hello there, little one.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Wh-- Eh?!

Poli jolted from the sudden figure in his presence. He knew him all too well. A legendary policemen, known for protecting Broomstown as the first ever rescuer. He didn't know too much about his death, too..

But that didn't mean the officer wasn't shocked. Pointing at the older man, he stuttered out a messy sentence of confused rambles.

I--It's you! Thunder-- Wait, what are you doing here? L-Last time I checked I didn't have you in my dreams.. Not that I don't mind but it's just so--

Poli realized he was going off track, something that commonly happened for the leader. Returning his pointing figure back to him, he rested it onto his chin.

This is my first time meeting you.. I don't know what to say.. What should I say, what should I say..

[thunder-rcp]

Thunder leisurely tilted his head to the side. Such an extreme reaction. So much shock and emotion. It reminded him of how people acted around him a century ago.

Though such reaction is to be expected. He wouldn't be much different if he saw any of his friends in his dream...

Calm down, kid. No need for so much noise.

He walked closer to Poli. Despite the slight heigh difference, Thunder still managed to loom over the officer. Even after spending so much time losing his mind the ghost never lost his sense of authority.

Yet the talk shall be casual. His goal for now was to get closer to the star.

You seem to be aware of me. Tell me, do you know who I am?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Of course I do!

Poli said with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. The person he studied for great periods, looked up to when he was at a loss with his own justice. It was always thunder. Picking himself up, he dusted the dirt off.

You're Thunder! I always clean your statue.. I don't know why, but I just dislike it when its dirty. Poli circled around the robocar with great interest, observing his parts. He only ever saw the car part of him. Your model is so interesting.. Jin would go crazy if she saw you! The officer laughs, sheepishly rubbing his chin. S-Sorry, it's just.. really weird. I never had a dream like this. You just..

He stood still, his arms resting onto his back. The star faced the great thunder who feared himself; Rather with much inspiration. He stood so close to something that could dare to strike the regulus off his space.

Feel so real.

[thunder-rcp]

He watched the officer with great curiosity. Wasn't the star afraid of the old ghost that could come down on the town like fiercest hurricane?

Or was there just a childlike need to explore?

Jin?... Wasn't that his mechanic. The inventor of the team.

Well, it's a little bit more than a dream.

You said something about this Jin girl. You cal her "sister", don't you? I'm truly sorry about what happened to her...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli immediately began to wave his hands around, nervously chuckling. The girl is safe now under his wing now. An overprotective brother, but a loveable dork at heart.

It's fine! Thank you so much for your concern, uhm.. s--sir! No, Thunder.. uhm.. Poli looks around. A--Anyway! I just.. wanna ask a few questions, if you don't mind of course.

Poli had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes showed sparkles of the stars shining. His idol, the person he looked up to..

I'm just.. really curious how the town was like then! It's a really comforting one, you really made people safe.. I'maskingwaytoomuch..

[thunder-rcp]

Hm..

So much enthusiasm in this young kid. He watched it unfold in his rescues, always giving it all.

The star's got a bright future. Bright just like he was. Perfect opposite of the dark and eery clouds of thunder.

Well, you can ask me whatever you like, kid. But--

[daily-rcp-poli]

But, yes?! I could do anything.. It is a lucid dream! You can ask me everything.. anything! I'll also do anything!

The officer was like an exicted pup welcomed into the forest, guided by the old wolf who often closed himself off from his peers. Unexpected from the older one, always choicing independece over the experience with others as a ghost.

[thunder-rcp]

Yet the ghost was lonely. There were no more phantoms to roam the town. Not his team, nor his family...

While taken aback by the officer's enthusiasm, the great policeman was not amused by it.

Alright, alright, son. Calm down.

Thunder put a hand on he's shoulder, firm and icy, trying to keep the kid in one place.

I've been watching you for quite some time, yet I'm still to figure something out... Tell me, who are you, Poli?

[daily-rcp-poli]

Ah, right.. My bad. Who he was? If you watch over someone, you'd be bound to know? But even ghosts who even watch over anything with keen eyes can't catch anything of a true person is like. Poli's the name, and I'm the leader of Broomstown Rescue Team! I've been an officer for quite a bit.. I actually can't believe how long it has been. But I'd give anything for my team! I hope that's what you wanted to hear..

[thunder-rcp]

I know that, son.

His expression became more serious. While all that Poli just told was true, it was not what he needed.

This strange feeling... It's driving him insane! What is this feeling?!

Where do you come from? Who's your family, little one?

He needed to know.

[daily-rcp-poli]

His family? A question that got asked so much, only to be awkwardly brushed off by the officer himself. He certaintly didn't favour topic.. But the great thunder casted a cloud over him.

B--Byeol. Byeol is my family name. I-- I don't know much about my family. Poli sighs. If.. you'd like to know about my mother.. Her name is Eclipse. Although I don't really understand why you'd ask.

Poli always thought his leadership is rather more appealing than his backstory. What was this great policemen so interested about?

[thunder-rcp]

Eclipse?

Eclipse... No. Nothing.

Thunder let out a tired sight. This name didn't remind him of anything. Was there even a point in trying to find his family line when he lost it so long ago.

Sorry, little one. I just... Feel this strange connection to you. I thought we could be relatives but-- Doesn't matter. I lost their trace a long time ago.

Coughing a few times in the palm of his hand, he fixed his posture. It's not the time for that.

Anyways, I promised that you could ask anything. Now it's your turn, Poli.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Well.. Poli shuffled his feet, pondering on what to ask. Would he ask the same question as before? Ask about town remains? I am curious.. About something.

His excited demeanor died down, placing his hand onto his chest. He looked at the thunder cloud, brave to face it off.

Please tell me about your past.

[thunder-rcp]

My past? It was.. It was...

The great ghost let out a sigh.

The skies only got darker. Small droplets started falling from the thunderclouds. That of sadness and nostalgia. Longing for something long lost in time.

I had a great family. My team.. They were created with me. They were the bestest of best, the bravest and strongest!

Rogue... Oh, my beloved wife. She the prettiest, the smartest, the loveliest of women I've ever seen! How how full of patience and wit she was to raise our daughter after becoming a widow...

[daily-rcp-poli]

Y--You had a daughter? And a w-wife?! That.. wasn't in the history books..

Poli felt little droplets hit his frame. He felt at the droplets, looking at them as if he was longing for something. Did Thunder feel the same way? The clouds did correspond to his emotions.

Poli sighs, looking away with a look of sympathny.

I'm sorry to hear that for you.. it must have been really difficult for you.

Now that his eyes were gone from the great thunder, he obeserved his surroundings very carefully. It was all but a grassy field. Maybe a few bushes here and there, but that was about it. He'd expect to find himself in a town with dreams like these.

It's quite empty here.. Where's-- The town? Do.. you know where it is?

[thunder-rcp]

Of course many aspects of his life were overlooked or even not mentioned at all. Rather only a few information that was deemed important was written in the history books.

Then again, it was his fault too. After what he's done, his wife would make sure to erase every mention of him.

Poli's question. He had to clarify a some stuff.

Thank you for your condolences... As you know we are in your dream. I have some control over it, that's why you see me.

This place is the outskirts of Broomstown. Kilometres away from the town's heart. A quiet place for me to rest whenever I don't haunt the busy streets.

Now Thunder was explaining the rules of this reality and his existence. Maybe the young officer could ask a few things. The reason all of this was happening.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Poli gazed around, only meeting a few clouds swirling around the already gray skies, not the blue ones he always felt comfort in the summer. Although the rain was calming, it felt.. a little hollow.

The ghost, or rather; A hero who was once looked up to. A statue being placed in memory of him. Only roaming the streets of Broomstown, not getting noticed by a single car passing by. He couldn't imagine how lonely it was.

He can't be the only person he talked to, right? How lonely..

Are.. you not lonely? Poli looked at him with an expression of sympathny. It's really fine you feel that way. I'd understand. In the past.. I used to feel that way. A lot.

He remembes the academy, being the only star in the little space he formed for himself. Oh, how much the student wanted to be apart of the night than to be standing on concrete ground.

You can tell me.

[thunder-rcp]

The soft rain was gone. It was now replaced with loud banging of thunder and lightning baolts escaping every now and then.

He remembered the time... Thunder snapped his head at the star, furiously looming over him.

Well, such loneliness is something that I deserve-

And don't you ever, a few small lighting bolts escaped his frame. The ghost grabbed at the officer's shoulders, shaking him slightly. Ever do that! That is the worst decision one can make. You must be a blind idiot if you really want to end your life!

He stared at the young one with glowing eyes of anger, heavily panting while maintaining his grip firm and strong.

[daily-rcp-poli]

Gah-- Thunder!

Harsh winds stormed through the field, grass aggresively swaying along them. Poli shielded his fist in front of his already squinted eyes from the storm.

The ghost towered over him with such great anger, it shocked the officer. While ending his life wasn't on his cards as much anymore, it was a change of mood. Trying to speak with great difficultly due to the weather, Poli began to speak.

J--Just calm down! I promise you, it isn't-- Winds interuppted him, sending him almost on the grass. Even then, it didn't stop him. It isn't like that anymore! Please, just let me go!

Poli never viewed the great policemen for just his lonesome. He pictured him as great, brave and always serving justice for the people he cared so much about.

I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you! You're in pain.

Poli placed his hands onto the grip, staring back at furious eye of the storm with calm starry nights.

Please?

[thunder-rcp]

Serene stars were starting back at the furious lightings. Beauty of the night that even the mighty hurricane couldn't hide.

What was he doing? He didn't mean for that to happen.

Thunder let go of the boy, taking a step back. Heavy pants were escaping the old ghost while the weather go calmer.

S-Sorry I-- I didn't mean to get like that, son. Just never do that, alright, kid?

Poli was right. The ghost was in pain. Decades with being able to move on. It drove him crazy.

I'm tired... I miss them...

Why was he still here?

[daily-rcp-poli]

A sigh of relief rolled out, letting his own hands fall back to his sides. The thunder tried to step away from the star, but Poli's light always managed to retract itself to his great inspiration.

I know you do.

Poli looks to sky, thinking of what to say. It's not like he could bring them back despite it being a lucid dream. Thunder was practically in control.

I miss the person I was too. I changed, some for the worse and most of the best. But..

The leader looked at his superior with a smile.

Memories made me happier. Say, uhm.. Would it be possible.. If..

We could revisit the town together in this dream? Maybe you'll just find a few things that could make you at least a little happier.

[thunder-rcp]

Hmm...

His memories... They were not the happiest ones, but he was willing to try for the kid.

Alright.. I think you'd be interested in seeing the town.

Within a click of Thunder's fingers, the world around them began to transform. Grassy fields turning into dark mist of clouds before taking their final shape. Soon, the central town square was recognizable, although much different.

It was way emptier. With no huge statue in the middle of the road, but rather a small garden with lovely flowers. Many houses were just being built. It was the birth of Broomstown, its first golden age before the current team.

This where I grew up, son. That's how the town looked like a long time ago--

The ghost's speech got interrupted by a couple of voices. He turned his head in their direction. There were standing two male robocars. A red and orange fire truck and a white and blue ambulance. The two were talking to some children, probably giving some safety lessons.

Thunder drew a long sigh, his gaze saddening.
