In the small space between spaces, Delilah seems too big to be contained. The healer’s body sinks into the sheets, dragging Gabe closer like a gravity well. The two of them cuddle together, freed from their clothing, exchanging soft touches and kisses.

filling the space is the soft patter of rain, muffled as if by distance. Occasionally there’s a quiet rumble from thunder in the mortal plane.

“Huh, I didn’t know you could hear the outside from in here.”

“Its weird, right?” Gabe shrugs, “I never noticed while we were in Vivian’s place, but I suppose we were usually too busy.”

>>990622
Heavy rain always makes me want to bundle up on the couch and eat pumpkin bread.

What kinda stuff you got in here?

It's so peaceful. Like being even safer from the weather and cold. Love that feeling.

This is honestly wonderful. You two picked a great place and time to relax.

>>990622
Time to enjoy the softness of this space and of each other, then.

First page and they're already stripped, I wonder if you can go the whole chapter without drawing a single shred of clothes on anyone...

oh ho ho, busy with what, gabe? >:3

>>990622
Wow, Gabe you live the actual best life.
You two snuggle up, listen to the storm for a bit and bask in the comfy.

You managed to survive Delilah destroying your pelvis. Do you feel sore at all?

“Heh, I’ll show you busy.” Del grins and runs a hand up his thigh.

“You were just kidding about the ‘fuck my bones to dust’ thing, right?”

“You know what it is I like about you, Gabe?” Delilah asks in a low voice.

Your perceptiveness? Your quick wit? Willingness to have fun? ... The squeaks when getting fucked silly?

>>990901
Oh I'm sure it'll be something different, but the fact you're excited by that thought probably helps

"My eagerness to please?"

is it the heart to do good/the right thing? like helping people from mortals/ordinary living beings to spirits/ghosts and everything in between? especially when picking diplomacy/talking within reason over attacking/exorcising the undead/spirits the first chance you get.

My extraordinarily resilient bones?

“My charm? My wit?” Gabe smirks, “My dick?”

The poodle chuckles, “Well, yeah. But also, you’re fun. And sweet. You make me feel loved.”

“Aw, Del.” The mouse blushes, completely disarmed by her honesty. “I do love you. You’re so incredible, and beautiful.”

The sheets thump as Delilah’s tail wags heavily against them. She pulls him close for another kiss. “And its more than that. For a lot of people I’ve been with: when we have sex, they think what I want is for someone to go as hard and as long as they can.”

“Mmm hmm.” Gabe nods, recalling the marathon beneath the mountain and piles of exhausted kobolds.

“That’s fun and all, but not really satisfying. When we’re together, you’re so sweet, and gentile and always give me exactly what I need.”

“Mmm, what do you need right now?” Gabe’s fingers trace her curves, seeking out those desire

Kiss for like 15 solid seconds. Tenderness is good!

Some of that sweet, slow love? The kind that leaves you glowing before, during, and after?

Tantric sex?

Kiss her breasts, tenderly

Gabe winks knowingly and slides away between her legs. Along his route, he makes sure to leave a trail of kisses along toned muscles.

His fingers trace the edges of her vulva as he hones in on his target. Gabe spreads her slightly, giving his tongue space to work and dives in. He closes his eyes works by feel, sucking and lapping at her folds with practiced ease. The healer’s hips hitch and buck with each pass of his tongue, surrendering their nectar to his dedication.

“Yeah. Ahhh...” Delilah flops back against the cushions and rests her hand on Gabe’s head. She relaxes as gentle waves of pleasure ripple back and forth through her, building until she’s writhing in place.

Some head scritches as thanks would be appreciated. Maybe some ear rubs? Keep riding those waves, Del.

Gabe feels her hand on his head, rubbing affectionately to keep him in place. Her touch grazes the edge of his ear and the effect is electric. Unable to control himself, the mouse moans happily into her pussy, trying to keep pace but suddenly very distracted.

“You like that?” Delilah asks, grinning as he shudders and groans.

“MMm-hmm!” The mouse finally comes up for air, panting as her fluids drip off his chin. “F-u-uuck, Del! Keep going!” His tail lashes back and forth in the confined space.

He pumps his free hand around his cock, finding it already painfully hard and leaking clear pre-cum.

“Didn’t know you had a thing for ears.” Del giggles, “You look ready to burst already.” She tugs on his ear, pulling Gabe closer. “Get on up here. I want that first load inside me, cutie.”

Get on up in there, Gabe!

Be sure to keep rubbing his ears as long as you can, Delilah. :3

Think about nuzzling her neck a little, she seems like she'd enjoy kisses there if she's into everything being all tender.

>>991686
Oh hell yeah. Love her on the way up and focus on the neck. A little love nibble wouldn't be a bad idea.

Gabe follows the gentle tug on his ear, tracing kisses across her curves on his way. The panting mouse lines himself up and slips past her lips. He teases her opening with short, shallow pumps. Already on edge, he knows he’ll cum the moment he sinks inside, and moans a warning. “Ah! Del! Gonna-“

Wrap your legs around him and rub both ears, Delilah!

“Cum? Don’t hold out on me.” Delilah’s legs pull him flush with her body and the mouse squeaks with surprise.

Fully encompassed by her warmth, Gabe shudders and bucks, feeling himself emptying himself into her. “Fuck! Ah! Ahhh!” He hangs on gamely while she toys with his ear, the stimulation raising fur along his spine like little lightning bolts of pleasure.

Del rolls her hips, savoring the slick shudders within her and grins at her partner. “Woah, that really did it for you, didn’t it?”

“Ah- no fair!” Gabe pants, feeling as if his bones have been jellied. “I thought I’m supposed to be pleasing you!”

“There’s plenty of time for that. I’m sure you’re still up for it.” She lets her magic pour into his body. His flagging erection stiffens inside her, and he thrusts up with renewed vigor. “Show me what you’ve got, little mousey.”

You have that post nut clarity, a generous reinvigoration and a drive to please. Use all that to read what she wants and how to give it to her. After all, you got her all warmed up.

“Ah!” Del blushes, bucking her hips up at him. The sudden shift in angle sends him in deeper, striking the bundled nerves of her G spot. She yips happily at the intrusion as he continues to thrust into her. His movements are smooth and precise; letting her writhe on his dick as he lets her feel the push and pull.

“That’s a fun sound!” Gabe teases, “Not so tough now, are we? Is that good?”

“Oh fuck, Gabe!” Delilah grips the mattress and arches her back. Her legs shiver as each pump of Gabe’s cock gets her wetter.

My, how the turntables have turned.
She has to earn this though. Keep at it.

You're at the right angle for it, why not give her breasts some love too?

“That’s it. Hold it there for me.” He changes his movements: adding a little bit of power to the end of each thrust. The tiny pocket dimension is filled with the slow slap-slap-slap of his balls against Delilah’s thighs as she gasps along with each thrust. He feels the muscles in her stomach tighten like steel wire and tells her, “Thaat’s goooood. Feel that? Is my good girl getting close?”

“Mmmhp don’t stop. Right there.” Her voice is terse, riding the edge of orgasm already. “Please. Yeah.”

“Such a good girl, asking nicely.” Gabe teases. The mouse braces himself, doing his best to strike the exact same spot. Panting but keeping an even pace, he tells her, “You deserve a treat.” Gabe rewards her by tracing his thumb down to grind into her clit.

Her breath hitches and whimpers, a certain slickness to her passage telling Gabe of his success. Ever proud of himself, he grins at her and asks, “Did my good girl cum?”

The healer blushes and gasps, her muscles shuddering from the quick climax. “Ah- mmhmm!” She nods back at him, “Ah! L-lets change position, okay?”

Of course, she's earned it after all.

“Aww, look at that tail! Is someone happy to get fucked?” Gabe gushes in a ridiculous tone.

“Now you’re -nnh, pushing it, mister.” Del smirks back at him as he slips back inside.

The mouse starts thumping gently against her hips, his pace even and casual. “I know, its just hard to resist when you get excited.” He leans back to admire the Delilah’s powerful body bent over before him. “Ooh, reminds me of the first time we did it.”

“Mmmm yeah, in that tiny cave. That was so fun.” Del sighs, letting the mouse work his magic as the aftershocks of her first orgasm tickle her nerves.

“Heheh, I was so skinny and cold from the dive. Lucky thing I had someone beautiful to share some body heat with.” Gabe closes his eyes as the memory of their first meeting comes back to him.

Remember that you rubbed her belly as you fucked her in that cave.

And she built him up since then. Won't you show her that you can take that stamina she gave you and use that to work her over the right way?

Gabe grins back at her, “Thanks to you. I’ve definitely had to put in some work just to keep up.”

“Oh yeah? Why don’t you show me a little?”

“Like this?” The mouse braces himself and speeds up; his tail snaking into a sine wave as he bends over and starts to really ride her. “How’s- hah- that?”

Delilah nods, feeling herself driven slightly into the mattress by the increased force. “Yeah! That’s it! Keep it up!”

However, after a while Gabe’s pace begins to falter, in spite of his improved stamina. Doggedly, he drives himself onward, the slap-slap-slap of his hips almost mechanical in rhythm.

Delilah takes a peek back at him and asks, “You doing alright back there?”

“Hah- yah. M’ okay-“ Gabe pants. His ears droop a bit, feeling each thrust take a little more from his reserves.

“Want me to take over for a bit?”

“Spite me, Del...” Gabe looks on in amazement. He thrusts experimentally, feeling her powerful, toned glutes envelop his shaft in warmth.

“Been, ah- wanting to try this with you for a while.” She rolls her hips experimentally, feeling his length shift inside her. “I figured you’d be a good fit.”

She leans back, arching her back like a bow. She bobs up and down on her heels and hears the mouse moan approvingly. “Like that? Come on don’t let me do all the work, cutie.”

He’s treated to an amazing show as the big pup rides his shaft, panting as she slaps against his hips. Her powerful muscles clenching and massaging his cock with every movement, keeping him right on edge.

“Fates, Del...” Gabe closes his eyes, savoring the tight push and pull, “you might have the finest ass I’ve ever fucked.”

She laughs between pants, “Really? Hah- I’m sure that’s a pretty -ah- big list.”

“Mmm- not as big as you’d think. I’m usually a bottom when it comes to- ahh- this stuff.”

“Doing alright up there?”

She nods, but responds in a strained voice, “Yeah. This position’s a lotta work though. Hang on.”

Delilah flops backwards, pulling the mouse with her.
Curling close to him, she reaches beneath him and traces a finger down towards his ass. “You like to bottom, huh? I can work with that.”

“Huh?” Gabe turns to look as her touch homes in on the bare patch of skin beneath his tail. His voice cracks as a rising moan slips between his lips, feeling himself spread slowly around a single finger. The digit curls inside of him, applying pressure to sensitive bundles of nerves. “Fffff-Uuhuchk!” He utters.

“Good?”

His eyelids flutter and he wriggles in her grip. Wrapped around her finger, the mouse goes slackjawed as she pulls him up into her. “Sp-ite me! Ah!”

“Yah! That’s it!” She pants. With one hand she keeps the pace, driving Gabe up and into her in a satisfying rhythm. The push and pull inside her grows tighter, his cock swelling as it inches closer and closer to coming.

“Ah! Del!” Gabe clutches his partner as he feels the crest building.

“Huff- almost there!” She pants, feeling his slickness leak beneath her tail. “Help me get -hah- there!”

Mouse feet scrabble for purchase on the mattress as Gabe lends his efforts to Delilah’s final push. He feels her finger inching its way inward with the frenzied thrusting, until its pressed against that hot bundle of nerves at the base of his cock.

“Yeah- yeah! Good girrrl!” He seethes beween gritted teeth. “Good girrrrrl! Ah! So good!” His body shivers, trying to bury its load as deep as possible.

Feeling herself filling up, Delilah lets go. The built up satisfaction crests over her like a wave as her sweet mouse showers orgasmic praise on her like a mantra. Gabe’s shaft jumps and twitches inside her; her hand holding him in place so that every drop finds its way home inside her. “F-uuck! OoohHH!” She howls as climax blooms within her.

Delilah’s muscles lock up around the mouse like steel cable shivering under tension. Gabe feels her wetness splash against him while her ass milks his cock dry; her finger blurring as she furiously massages his prostate. In the blissful fog of his mind, he hangs on to her like an anchor, his mumbling praise spilling out of him on a loop. “Good girlll, good girlll, good girlll.”

The last of Gabe’s strength fades and he flops forward panting. His heart pounds in his ears as endorphins rush through his body, triggering a haze of pure bliss wherever they touch. For a long while, they lay against each other, just letting one another breathe.

“Hah- you okay?” Delilah asks. Her voice is airy and happy.

The mouse looks up at her from between the curve of her breasts and gives a weak thumbs up. “Fu—uuck...”

“That wasn’t too much, was it?”

Gabe chuckles. “Heh, what happened to making love ‘sweet and slow’?”

Her chest rumbles as she giggles back at him. “I know. But you’re too much fun to toy with.”

“Heh heh, just don’t go breaking your toys.”

Delilah sighs and lays back, watching the little runes demarcating the pocket dimension circle by. “Sure thing, heh. Was it good?”

“Fuckin Fates, yeah.” Gabe moans dreamily. “You can do that whenever you like. Just don’t expect me to last real long when you do.”

“Mmm, maybe I’ll just keep you going with a little mana. I’m a bit curious about how long I can keep you cumming.” She grins, her canines peaking just below her lips as she eyes her new squeak toy.

Gabe stammers, his face going red at the thought.

“You’re so cute when I get you flustered.” She chuckles again and sighs. “Hey. Thanks for tonight...”

Wait hold up, what was that about endurance cumming?

Her fingertips trace along his spine and she says, “I know you do. I think I love you too, Gabe.” Her voice is warm and a little bittersweet.

Gabe cocks his head, making a curious sound and she continues. “You love a lot of people, don’t you?”

A flurry of emotions flicker across Gabe’s face, worry, embarrassment, guilt. “I- I- well-“

“I didn’t mean it like that.” Delilah wraps both arms around him in a hug. “I really admire it: you have a lot of love to give for everyone around you.” She sighs and chuckles.

A lover is not the same the as someone you love. Del is.. more than that. You know that.

>>995868
Maybe she’d feel better about your love situation if she was more...included? It’s never too late to try something new, Del. Or someone new. You promise not to be more than appropriately jelly! Especially if you can watch. Or participate.

But if orgies aren’t her thing, if she’d like ol’ Gabe steady and sole...

...you’d have to think. You wouldn’t begrudge her asking, mind.

There's something to be said to wanting to be the sun to everyone you care about. A small bundle of infinite love, shining on everyone it can wrap its rays around.

“I- I guess so. I don’t think this is the same though, right?” Gabe pauses, unused to such self reflection.

Delilah thinks about her answer, “That’s up to you. Honestly, I think you love everyone differently.”

“Does it bother you at all? That I have other partners and... stuff?” His front teeth nibble anxiously at his lip.

She shrugs, “I don’t think so. I’m really happy with what we have together, Gabe.”

“If you want, we could hang out more with Kol and Casey.” He suggests.

“Mmm, that sounds fun. I wouldn’t mind getting to see them more.” She sighs, settling back to rest.

Around them the constant, muted sounds of the downpour offer a distant, relaxing roar.

“Man, its really coming down out there.” Delilah remarks.

Cuddle close and watch the skies. Enjoy the sounds.

Did anything get struck by lightning?

Also you're cool with doing heroism in the rain naked, right? Sure you are.

Gabe cuddles up close to Delilah and lays back, looking up at the cozy space between worlds. “Yeah sounds like it was close too. Glad we’re not out there.”

He blinks. There’s a dark shape behind his glowing runes, indistinct but growing. “What... the?”

Suddenly something comes crashing through the boundary of his pocket dimension, landing in a wet heap with a thump. Delilah and Gabe pull their bodies away just as it lands and huddle together naked and startled at one end of the mattress.

Parts of it are smoking and smelling of burnt feathers, with limbs splayed out like a broken marionette. Frazzled wings try to fold themselves in as the strange creature groans.

“What the blazing lichfire...” Gabe looks back up at the boundary of his spell space. The runes enclosing the pocket dimension quickly knit themselves back together, but not before something long and hard comes spinning out of the void clocking the mouse on the head.

“AH FUCK!” he rubs angrily at his bruised skull and glowers.

>Parts of it are smoking and smelling of burnt feathers, with limbs splayed out like a broken marionette. Frazzled wings try to fold themselves in as the strange creature groans.
This person has been struck by lightning! Delilah, heal them!

>>996543
Looks like a scroll. Perhaps this person is a messenger?

How is it even possible for something to just fall into your pocket space?

They're alive at least. Del, got any heals left?

Ah, the dichotomy of the unconscious person with writing. Reading it would be violating their privacy, but it could also contain something that might help them. If they can be healed readily, you definitely don't need to read it. If they can't, you might need to think about it.

Please heal them? (And then Gabe after that's settled?)

Sheesh, ouch. Focus on stabilizing them. You can read their mail later.

Thank god the poor bastard had some cushions to land on.
You lot really are like lightning rods for cryptic nonsense, aren'tcha? Ah well, the adventurer's life!
Duty calls, this sad sap's been struck silly by thousands of volts and thousands of feet. Not to rush you or anything, but if he doesn't get medical attention soon his condition will only worsen.

It's imperative that you not try to move them. Open a gate to whatever you have that's like a hospital and bring doctors into your space, or open a gate under them right on the surface of somewhere else and move the gate over him to move the
through. The faster you are, the better their chances are.

>>996543
wait, how did that even happen, aren't you meant to be enclosed!?

but yeah dang uh, make sure your new guest isn't dying or anything.

The walls of the pocket space reseal themselves and Gabe, still rubbing his head, turns his attention back to the intruder. “Hey! Uh... you okay?”

The figure stirs, lifting its head. A pair of wings positioned where one would normally find ears begin to shrink and fold back, revealing a streak of burned skin and fur along one side of thier face.

“Shit, hang on.” Delilah shuffles forward, unafraid and ready to render aid. She places a hand on the injury and begins pouring mana into it, coaxing the flesh to heal. “What happened? Did lightning do this?”

Gabe sits up, “Yeah I’ve got roughly, like, a million questions. Number one: how’d you get in here?”

“Gabe I don’t know if they’re in any shape to answer.” Delilah does a quick visual assessment of her patient, who she guesses to be a fey of some kind. Their limbs are spindly and light, having taken the brunt of the fall remarkably well. Their only concession to modesty seems to be an extremely long scroll wrapped around their body, which appears scorched in some places and covered with looping, indecipherable script. The burns trail down the victim’s neck and arm, ending along one hand.

“I guess, yeah. But, like, still! I didn’t know anyone could just... barge right in here! I thought this was a- ya know- private place.” He folds his arms, feeling unsettled by the sudden arrival.

“Wh-where am I?” The visitor asks. Its voice is airy and languid, with an accent normally associated with the deep feywild. They try to sit up but find their arms unwilling to cooperate, and instead roll over on their side.

answer their questions and gently see if you can roll them into a more comfortable position. oh! check their neck and head for any breaks or bulges to make sure they weren't seriously hurt before moving them. is gabe able to portal some water or something for them? maybe a blanket?

>>996970
Pocket space. Who are you, some kind of messenger?

Mortal city, in a magic bubble. You fell in from above unexpectedly. We think you got hit by lightning.

Ask Del what she needs to properly take care of this sudden guest

>Where am
"Safe and alive, miraculously enough, near Moot Point. And once more I'm happy I took Vivan's suggestion to create a pocket space containing nothing but a mountain of pillows as literally as I could."

“Uh, I don’t know what you’d call it. A kind of personal space-bubble.” Gabe shrugs.

They blink their non-injured eye, “A fey space? But you’re mortals... right? I didn’t think any of you knew about the in-between.”

“Well you’re lucky you landed here, since its just some pillows and a mattress. Who are you? What were you doing flying around in a storm like that?” Delilah asks.

The winged figure pushes themself up on shaky arms. “My- my name is Litany. I am angel of the court of the reflected sky.”

“Angel...” Gabe flicks through his limited knowledge of fey culture. “Case mentioned something about them once: you’re some kind of messenger, right?”

“Y-yes.” Litany’s takes several deep breaths, and allows Delilah to steady them. “I am... I am a muse. My duty is to bring inspiration from the dream-seer’s of the court to the far realms.”

"And where are the Far Realms supposed to be?"

Well, hand them the message they dropped, and offer to help them get to their destination, since you're a Sender.

We should get you some medical attention first, then maybe some help with your mission.

>>997086
Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

Oh gawd. Seriously? I get it, tradition and the honor of our ancestors dictates we must use that line, but she obviously IS hurt, so maybe preface it or something?

Look, you're obviously in need of assistance. Let's get you some more care, and we can talk about helping you with your mission too.

Well their introduction into your space was certainly inspiring. But you're pretty sure that's not how it works.

“Inspiration? Like a scroll or something? I think it fell around here somewhere...” Gabe shuffles around, lifting pillows and searching under the mattress for the lost message. “Uh, hang on... where is it?” he mutters, unable to find it, despite the small space.

“Gabe, can we look for that later? First things first, we should get get back to my house. I was to put some dressings on these burns before they get infected.” Delilah slips her arms under the fallen angel and lifts them gently. “There’s only so much I can do with just aura healing.”

The sender quickly wraps his sash around him in an attempt at modesty, before making a few passes with his hands: mentally focusing on a beacon placed months ago. He opens the crimson iris out onto a stormy plain, just a few meters from Delilah’s cottage.

The pair of them dash out into the rain and into the shelter of her home. Delilah lays Litany out on a rather beaten up couch, and puts on a robe as she bustles around, looking for medical supplies. “Sorry its a bit of a mess in here.”

“Nah, its fine.” Gabe remarks, looking around at the decor. “Just never been inside your place before.” The healer’s cottage is a mix of the eclectic and unexpected. One corner seems to be set aside to store a set of ludicrously heavy weights. A set of glass fronted cabinets full of scrolls and books on medicine and health occupies the space next to it. A slim bed, heavily indented from years of use sits unmade next to the window.

Ask how you can help. Clear space for her to work if you can.

>>997333
This. We can explore with Delilah later after the burns are treated

Pretty painting. Admire it later, though. Just try to clear away some space for her without breaking stuff.

oh heck, that inspiration was totally delivered to Gabe's head, wasn't it?

>>997354

“I didn’t know you paint!” Gabe eyes an unfinished work on an easel.

Delilah looks up, “Wha? Oh, yeah. I’m... not really good at it.”

“Hey, you’re better than me.” He shrugs. “Anything I can do to help?”

“Uhhh, yeah actually. Can you put some water on to boil? And there’s some bandages in that cabinet there.”

Gabe hums to himself as he rummages through Delilah’s medical supplies. He pulls out a few rolls of bandages, which he lays out next to Litany. The angel looks on with interest, taking in every aspect of the mortal household with a discerning eye.

Delilah sits down next to the angel and opens up a container of translucent gel. “This is going to hurt, like a lot, but should help you heal.” She begins spreading the ointment along the long, charred scar and Litany groans in response.

“I know. Hang in there, okay?” Delilah says, working quickly to minimize contact with the open wound. “Gabe, I’ve got a magelight on the cabinet over there, can you bring it over?”

Gabe approaches with the small, mana-powered lantern and asks, “Where do you want it?”

“I need you to shine it in his-“

“Uh, their if you will.” Litany interjects.

“Their face.” Delilah finishes. “I want to get a look at that eye.”

The angel squints away from the light with their good eye, while Delilah carefully pulls aside the scorched eyelid. Gabe shudders and looks away before he can see too much.

“Shit... I can’t heal that. Sorry, friend.” Del clicks her tongue and lets the eyelid close. “I don’t know much about fey medicine. Do your people have a way of healing something like that?”

“I suppose its possible. I believe we have ways of creating a facsimile.” Litany sighs, accepting the loss of their eye with angelic detachment. “It is of little concern, however. I really must find that scroll, if possible.”

Well, its either in the bubble or....it went right through and hit the ground, lets hope it didn't get washed away by the rain.

>>996543
well, it clearly bonked gabe in the noggin, so maybe it's still in the pocket dimension?

>>997462
It hit Gabe on the head so... hey uh, no way it got consumed by hitting a person, surely, right?

>>997462
The scroll will be retrieved as soon as we do what we can for them. Let's get them cleaned up.

>>997462
Alright if Gabe's done helping Delilah I guess it's time to search the bubble some more.

We need to search where we had the bubble. It fell in it could have just as easily fallen back out.

“Oh! Sure! Hang on...” Gabe opens his personal dimension up and sticks and arm in to root around. He flails about sightlessly, humming to himself as he paws though the pillows in the tiny space.

Frowning, Gabe opens the portal wider and leans inside, rummaging around for the missing item. As he does his humming intensifies, until he’s singing a kind of wordless a capella ramble. “Ba-de dee da-daaa mnah, nah doo-de dee.” He scratches behind an ear, “ I dunno what’s up. It fell in here...”

Delilah holds up a finger, “Uh, Gabe... what’s that song you’re singing?”

“Huh?” Gabe looks up, as if distracted, “I dunno. Stuck in my head, whatever it is.”

“I believe that’s fey pentatonic scale, sung rather badly.” Litany remarks placidly.

“Uh-huh...” Delilah nods slowly. “Litany, this process of delivering inspiration: how exactly does it work?”

“Uh, the most effective manner is to visit the recipient while they slumber and tap the scroll of inspiration to their forehead. The creative work then becomes part of their psyche, merging naturally so that it may be properly expressed.” The angel cocks their head as their feathers fan out.

... we have some bad news for you

>>997880
Ah.
>>996543
I see.
Litany, I got some good news and some bad news...

So uh, is there any way to get the inspiration back out of someone's head afterwards?

>>997880
>tap the scroll of inspiration to their forehead.
Yeah, so good news, we found where your scroll disappeared to. Bad news is that I don't think you're going be able to get it back.

What was a moment ago but pure speculation now looks a likely explanation. Gabe was struck by inspiration, of that we can be sure, and now you tell us that is how the delivery occurs? Well, delivery complete, though not to the right place. Is it possible to retrieve it?

Well... Someone is inspired.

You have been struck with artistic inspiration.

Mm. Ok. Theoretically. Can you get another one of those messages?

"And how long does it take before the construct can no longer be extracted or copied or neutralized?"

The guestion Gabe should ask now is: "Do you know how to put menacing spikes on a song?"

“Thaaaaat’s what I was afraid of.” Delilah sighs, “Well, the good news is we know where the scroll is. The bad news is its rattling around in your head, Gabe.”

“You mean when it landed on me...” Gabe rubs at the sore spot on his head. “Spite me sideways.”

Litany looks back and forth between the two mortals, piecing together the conversation and coming to a realization. “Ah. Well... that’s...” They blink, looking visibly more anxious by the moment, “...rather alarming.”

“I don’t wanna be inspired!” Gabe clutches his head as if it could somehow be unscrewed. “Can’t you get it out!?”

Delilah hold out her hands to stop him. “Woaaah, calm down! I’m sure we can think of something.” She turns to the angel, “Is there some way to... I don’t know... uninspire him?”

“I... I don’t know.” Litany stares ahead of themself, ears twitching with a rustle of feathers. “I’ve never encountered anything like this. Its quite against protocol.”

“Crap. Gabe you may need to hang on to that song for a while.”

“Del, what if I forget it!? I barely remember what I had for breakfast! I gotta keep singing! Da da-da daaaa dum bum baaaa.” Gabe sings to himself; folding his ears down and covering them, as if to keep the song from sloshing out of his head.

“Maybe you can write it down?” Delilah suggests.

The mouse frowns, forming a perfect arch of unhappiness, “I don’t know anything about music!”

All of you, sing together! Everyone, no improvising! Just keep it up for a bit, three minds are better than one, right?

If you can sing the song, you can get a musician to transcribe if for you.

Ok let's just... contact the other Fey we know. Maybe Vivian knows enough about inspiration... but she's probably busy fucking her new girlfriend. And we know that Caleb is busy having a threesome.

Nixie is probably free?

gluten-free waffles, sir
Hey, why don't we call in a favor from a fav we know has songs in their heart. Let's hit up Caleb. Sure he could come up with something relating to the storm in the sea shanty style using fae pentameter. Casey might want to get in on this too.

So analyse it with math and jot it down with math notation.

Failing that, this can't be the first time an inspiration failed, too many years gone by for that. What happens in that eventuality, Litany?

“In that case... I think we need to call in an expert.” The healer goes to her bed and shifts it aside. She pries up a floorboard and pulls out a carefully folded silk scarf.

“You two hang tight.” She says and throws the scarf into the air. The fabric catches on some unseen force and drapes itself into a long pair of curtains.

Vivian takes one look at the stricken angel and says, “Oh? One of you lot?”

Litany’s un-bandaged eye widens and they mutter a word. It sounds similar to but is not quite “Vivian”, coming across the mortal ears as “Virr’viane”.

>>998557
Let’s explain the situation to Vivian.

Litany made the dumb mistake of flying through a thunderstorm and got struck by lightning. That caused them to fall into Gabe’s pocket dimension while Delilah and Gabe were fucking and they dropped an important scroll of inspiration they were delivering, which bonked Gabe on the head, which transferred a song into Gabe’s head. Now Gabe is desperately trying to remember that song so that it’s not lost, while we try to find a way to get it out of his head, so it can be delivered to who it’s supposed to go to.

Vivian, since you’re an expert on music, we were hoping you could help.

De-escalation time!! Definitely calmly explain what happened trying not to insult anybody in the process, and maybe several feet from gabe so he doesn't forget stuff.

>>998557
Litany didn't just drop Viv's True Name, did they? We should try to forget it, anyway.

Yeah, let's not even comment about the name. It's clearly a touchy subject and no-one's business at all.

Simply say Gabe was bonked on the head with a scroll of inspiration, and now has a song in his head but lacks the skill to transcribe it.

>>998569

“My apologies, mistress.” Litany blinks and looks aside, their wings folding close to their head.

Delilah eyes the power dynamic between the two fey and asks, “Everything okay?”

“Just touched a nerve.” Vivian huffs, “Its a very old fashioned way to refer to someone. But then again the courts that still use angels haven’t changed much in the last thousand years. What happened to them?”

Delilah scratches at the back of her neck and shrugs. “Well, Litany here was delivering a message and got struck by lightning. They fell through the ceiling of Gabe’s pocket space and their scroll ended up... inside Gabe’s head. I patched Litany up, but we have no idea what to do from here.”

“Oh my-my-my.” She leans in, “I can’t say I’ve ever heard of anything like this before.”

“We were wondering if you could... well... I dunno, write down the song?” Delilah asks.

“Wouldn’t do any good.” Vivian taps a long, white finger against a long, white tooth. “You’d just have some parchment with some notes on it. What you need is the scroll itself. If your patient fails to deliver their message, the court will brand them a devil. Its all part of their codex of duty.”

“So how do we get the scroll, then?” The healer looks on as Gabe mumbles his strange, musical mantra.

Vivian grins, “Do you remember my performance: A Dream of Two Queens?”

>>998827
Of course, it would be hard to forget! Though Gabe was distracted for some of it...

We remember it fondly. A play though? Think the inspiration can be drawn out with that?

Lightning is kind of hard to control, especially if someone did something like this deliberately. Branded a devil just for that? This court seems kind of messed up to tell the truth...

>>998827
Still need to address the issue of who the intended recipient is...

The more we learn about Fey courts, the more they sound like complete shitshows full of entitled ancient dicks.

I guess that goes without saying, though. They aren't just outdated hereditary nobility who spend all day smelling their own farts, they're functionally immortal outdated hereditary nobility. Socializing with them sounds like an absolutely miserable time. Make a note to avoid entangling yourself with arrogant near-perpetual monarchists.

“Sure, though we were kind of distracted. Plus we missed most of the last act.” Delilah admits. “What about it?”

“Its just like in the opera: we enter Gabe’s dreaming mind, hunt down the source of the song and bring it out. Then your friend here can flit away to do their master’s bidding for another day. Does that sound agreeable to you, angel?”

“I- uh-“ The feathered fey looks around, confused about being directly addressed. Litany looks unsure of what to say, as if unused to having someone ask their opinion. “Is that allowed?” They look down at the scroll wrapped around their waist and begin tracing through lines of text, “I must check my codex.”

Vivian shrugs, “Of course! Its a form of magic the fey have used for centuries.”

“Have you ever done this before?”

The kitsune hesitates, “I don’t suppose you count performing it on stage? No? Alright, then no I haven’t. But the magic is very simple, and to be honest, I’ve always kind of wanted to try it.”

“Is it dangerous?” Delilah asks.

“To us? Possibly. There’s really no telling what you can find in someone’s mind, but the most common one is simply getting lost somewhere in the dream and unable to escape.” Viv indicates the mouse as he hums along. “But for Gabe there shouldn’t be any danger.”

>>999061
>“But for Gabe there shouldn’t be any danger.”
Endless portals that never lead you where you want to go. An army of Gabes wanting to have an eternal orgy and never letting you leave. A bunch of really complicated math problems that you have to solve in order to leave.

>>999061
Sounds cool.
Could we use this to search a certain uncooperative undead's mind to find out how to translate some runes and operate the machine in the old mana well?

Let's talk safety! Is there anyone that you could tell that you're doing this that could potentially help out if worst comes to worst and YOU guys get stuck?

>>999065
This!

And we should also tell Gabe what we’re going to do. Then maybe his subconscious mind will be able to help us not get stuck in his head.

Is Litany okay? They took that lightning like a champ, but this is all kind of a lot. It feels like it would be a good thing to do to reassure them if we can.

Let me guess, we're going to find a evil-twin gender-flipped Gabe and accidentally teach her how to make portals into the real world.

“We should probably figure out some kind of safety then. Is there anyone we can turn to that could come find us, should something go wrong?” Delilah suggests.

Vivian flicks her tail as she thinks. “Hmmm, good point. Do you have a scrying gem anywhere”

Still humming to himself, Gabe reaches out a hand, which disappears into his private dimension. After a moment or two, he pulls out the tiny scrying crystal given to him by Kol.

“Ah, thank you!” Vivian takes it and concentrates. A bulky figure appears inside the perfect gem, resolving itself to be Caleb.

The kelpie pauses what he was doing and looks up, “Eh? Who’s this?”

“Its Vivian, dear. Sorry to bother you.”

“Bit busy at the moment, Viv.” There’s a needy moan as Kol’s tail whips past Caleb’s face. “Though if you want to watch, I think someone here wouldn’t mind.”

>>999197
Not sure who's going to be keeping the scrying crystal and would thus have the opportunity to watch... Depends on how the dream magic works I guess?

Not that that doesn't sound great, but not the best time. Maybe try someone else?

Keep doing what you're doing big guy but if you don't hear back from them in a few hours go get some help at gabe's place, ok?

So.. things are happening.

>>999197
Explain the situation to them so that they can pay attention and help out.

If Vivian can put sex on hold to help out, then they can do the same.

“As fun as that sounds, I’m here to ask a favor.” Vivian chuckles. “Delilah and I need to do a little dive into Gabe’s dreams. If something happens where we get stuck, would you be able to give us a hand?”

The sailor cocks an interested eyebrow but holds back his questions, “Sure thing, Viv. Just send word and I’ll be there.”

“Thank you, love!” Vivian waves at the crystal. “Have a nice night!”

“Good luck dream hunting!” Caleb hauls Kol up by the shoulder and grins, “Give the pretty lady a goodnight, will you lad?”

The mouse blushes and moans through a lacework of semen traced across his whiskers. Loud slaps against a well ridden ass echo through the scrying stone and Kol squeaks on cue for the big sailor. The spell fades and Caleb’s lusty chuckle dissipates like fog as he goes back to fucking Kol senseless.


“Seems like everyone’s having fun tonight.” Delilah observes.

“All the more reason to get back to my own bed.” Vivian nods

>>999306
Alright let's get this done.

We'd hate to keep you, so we'll be glad to make this go as fast as possible

“Gabe, come over here, will you?”

The mouse follows her over to Delilah’s bed and sits on the edge.

Vivian bends down to address him and Gabe looks back, still humming. “Delilah, Litany and I are going to enter your dreams and pull out the angel’s scroll. Do you understand?”

The mouse nods.

“If I have your permission, I’m going to put you to sleep now.”

Gabe nods again and goes limp as Vivian taps him on the forehead. She lays him out comfortably inside the sizable divot left by years of Delilah’s use and stands up.

“I didn’t realize you could do that.” Delilah comments. “That’s all it takes?”

The kitsune nods back at her, “Its amazing what you can achieve when you’re given permission. Half of all fey magic is just asking nicely.” Her sharp teeth gleam as she smiles.

“Litany, are you coming?” Delilah asks the angel.

The fey stands on shaky legs and straightens out the codex scroll wrapped around them. “I- I suppose I shall, since I cannot find any terms that prohibit my participation. Are you sure I won’t be intruding?”

“I’d rather have you here with us, if you don’t mind.” Delilah extends a hand and the angel takes it.

When they find their feet again, the trio stand and look at the dream around them. Sunlight dabbles their cheeks between a broad canopy of leaves. Pencil thin trees are laid out in neat rows, whispering to one another as a breeze rustles their foliage. In the distance, a large hill rises over the scene, dominated by an imposing and lavish estate.

Look for a fallen fruit and study it.

Approach the estate.

>>999691
Looks like Delilah and Vivian got new clothes, but Litany didn't? Some kinda self-image thing?

What's the inspiration going to look like?

>>999691
Head for the estate. If the inspiration is some kind of music, then listen carefully to see if you can hear it.

While we’re walking over there, ask Vivian how exactly can we get lost in here? If there’s any trouble, she should be able to use her spell to transport all of us out, right? Unless we have to something stupid like needing to come back to this exact spot in order to leave.

Fruits edible? Or will that erase his memories?

Look, I don't know the rules here, but one thing I know is that if you don't know better, don't eat anything. Especially the fruit.

>>999702
Oh, also don't do anything stupid like split up. If getting lost is dangerous, then splitting up would lead to someone getting lost faster.

Think this is his childhood home?

>>999691
Gabe was a farm boy.
And Delilah and Vivian's new clothes may be how Gabe remembers/imagines them?

So this chapter is about life story of Gabe. Neat

And we have a new advanture party! Let's see how the new trio work out. One of them is a healer, that's a very good start.

>>999691

I always figured he was a simple country boy, but ... this kind of takes it to a new level.

Does Litany know how this particular inspiration was captured or produced in the first place? In other words, what is the song about? That may provide some hints.

Oh my gosh his little smile is the cutest! We might do well to find Gabe in here. My money is on either a bedroom or the barn.

Litany murmurs, “Where are we?”

Something red falls, landing with a thump on the turf. Delilah picks it up and turns it over in her hand. It’s a rather squat, glossy, red apple.

“Gabe mentioned he grew up around an orchard. This must be it, or at least a memory of it.” Eyeing the lofty manor, she mutters “A bit more palatial than I expected though.”

A youthful giggle whips through the trees like a zephyr: invisible and all around them.

“If this is a memory, maybe we can find him.” Vivian suggests. Her ears twitch this way and that, searching for the source of the sound. “Lets head for that house.”

The trio make their way through the orchard, finding dodging the occasional falling apple as they travel. At the edge of the tree-line they find their way blocked by a hedge so tall, it seems to loom over them and blot out the sky.

“Huh, didn’t look like that from where we were standing.” Delilah thrusts an arm into the wall of greenery, finding it dense and impassable.

“Be prepared for a bit of dream logic. Its possible that Gabe just remembers this hedge being unnaturally tall.” Vivian plucks a single leaf from the well groomed wall as she thinks.

Okay, so the scale means this is probably a childhood memory. Although since it's a memory of where he grew up, that was already likely. Does it tell us anything else?

The laughter. Is it Gabe's or someone else's. Did Gabe grow up with other children and remember the sounds of laughter as being somehow linked to the orchard itself?

We should track down the voice.

>>1000067
Is there a tree near the hedge we can climb to jump it? Otherwise we're gonna have to look for the proper entrance.

If this was kid gabe, he probably had a way through this other than going around. When did he start making portals? No way that was how he got home, right?

>>1000067
If this is dream logic, then that means that lofty manor in the distance is actually a normal sized house. It only looked giant for little kid Gabe.

Speaking of which, if you do manage to find him, would you be able to recruit him into helping you get past this hedge?

Delilah tests her grip on the hedge and wonders aloud, "Maybe we can climb up?"

"Possibly, but maybe there's a way around." Vivian nods to the angel and asks, “Litany, can you fly over and tell us what you see?”

“O-oh! I suppose.” The angel flaps their wings experimentally and pushes off the ground. With a lot of work, they’re able to rise above the orchard, but find themself unable to look over the barrier.

“It seems I cannot reach high enough. However, I saw that there’s another, smaller house and what looks like a barn on this side.”

Well, if there's no obvious way to the house, we might as well go to the barn.

Litany can be our scout. Let's wonder there with them in the air.

The three dream explorers set off, weaving through the trees. They come up to a low fence set along the edge of the orchard, dividing it from a modest farmhouse. Its tin roof extends out, forming a short porch, on which various crates and farming implements are piled. A simple mana-driven cart sits next to the house, one of its axels propped up on a sawhorse awaiting a replacement wheel.

Litany lands and stares at the house with their good eye. “Is this how mortals live?”

A figure in overalls is over by the house stacking crates, unaware of their presence.

This is how mortals who work the Earth, live.
And everyone taking appreciative look at this hard-working mouse.

>>1000866
Ok, I take back what I said earlier. This is Gabe’s House, not that manor.

>A figure in overalls is over by the house stacking crates, unaware of their presence.
Is that supposed to be how Gabe sees himself or is it his dad?

Taking an eyeful of Gabe's (probably) dad might be a little weird. Do it anyway.

“Wait, is that supposed to be Gabe? Hey Gabe! Over here!” Delilah calls, waving her hand to catch the figure’s attention.

The mouse turns to face her and she’s struck by familial resemblance. He shares Gabe’s hair and youthful features, but in a body defined by years of physical labor and outdoor life. Even his walk carries the same loping, spring-heeled step as Gabe as he saunters over to the three visitors. “You looking for my brother? What’s he got up to this time?” His voice is slower, and his words more deliberate, but eerily similar to his sibling.

“We’re Trying to help him out of a bit of trouble.” Vivian extends her hand politely, “My name is Vivian”.

Gabe’s brother remembers himself and wipes his hand before taking her fingertips. The mouse nods modestly and introduces himself. “Fletcher. Nice to meet you, ma’am.”

Don't be distracted by his muscles. Ask how you can get in contact with Gabe.

Get distracted by his muscles, but let him know you're looking for something and you think Gabe has it.

>>1001064
Good looks definitely run in the family. Any idea where Gabe is?

“This is Delilah and Litany.”

Hidden behind her bangs, a hungry look gleams in Delilah’s eyes. Witnessing the potential with her own eyes, She thinks to herself, “First thing this morning, I’m drafting up a training regime. I’m going to put some muscle tone on Gabe if its the end of me.”

“I was gonna ask: your buddy there alright? Never seen someone bandaged up that much.” Fletcher nods at the angel curiously.

“Yeah, they uh... had an accident. They’ll be okay, I’ve applied healing magic.” Delilah explains.

“A healer? Now that’s a handy talent. Consider yourself always welcome around here, Ms Delilah.”Fletcher gives her a cheshire smile that pushes a lot of buttons she didn’t know she had.

“Uh, may I ask something?” Litany raises their un-bandaged hand. “How do you get the trees to stand in such neat rows?” Fey curiosity radiates from their question, finding this peek into mortal life utterly fascinating.

“Uh- we plant them there. You know, with seeds? You do know how seeds work, right?” The country mouse scratches behind an ear as he processes Litany’s oddness.

“Oh, yes, with seeds, naturally.” The angel turns and stares at the neatly laid out orchard and wonders aloud. “Huh, they don’t get up and go where they want? How unusual.”

“You’re... not from around here are you...” Fletcher correctly assumes.

That is correct and they are why we need to find Gabe.

“I hail from the Court of the Reflected Sky.” The messenger nods.

“Ohh, the wild country, eh?” Gabe’s brother sniffs and thinks to himself, “We still got a’ couple of fey roads around here. They don’t get much traffic, but Mr. Loup has been known to drop by for a bottle of grandad’s cider.” He leans against one of the fenceposts and puts a leg up on a crossbeam. “You all say you... know Gabe?”

“In a manner of speaking, yes.” Vivian says cryptically, “We’re here at his invitation.”

“I don’’t think I need to tell you: keeping him outta trouble is a full time job.”

“Oh, believe me: we’re well aware.” Delilah chuckles, “He never mentioned anything about a brother though.”

“I’m sure it just slipped his mind. Most things do.” This seems to satisfy the older sibling, who shrugs and nods at the tin roofed barn on the other side of the house. “Last I heard, he was up in there with the neighbor’s boy.” The sentence ends with a hint of disapproval. Fletcher picks up a crate and continues his work, “You give me a holler if they give you any trouble. ‘Course, don’t be surprised if they take off at the sight of ya.”

Heck yes, towards the barn with you three. Though if he'd be inclined to bolt... maybe you should cover the exits while miss can-fly takes the top.

Yeah let's have him surrounded, he can come out with is hands up and his pants off.

Perhaps we should approach from different angles just so someone can see which way they run off to. Of course, this is moot point if Gabe can open gates at this point in his life.

Oh they FUCKIN. Kinda wanna catch a peek but we shouldn't beat around the bush. Litany's purpose in life is at stake.

Of course he disapproves: Gabe's skirting work.

I'm not sure surrounding Gabe is the best idea. Is there something else we can think of to calm him down before we walk in?

>>1001872
It’s either that or Fletcher disapproves of Gabe flirting with a boy instead of a girl.

Send in Delilah first, a familiar face would probably help calm him down. Have Vivian and Littany cover the other exits in case they do try to run for it

This will be Gabe in the past. Dream logic will dictate that he's never met Delilah and she'll just be a stranger to him.

Vivian, Delilah and Litany hop the fence and approach the barn. The roughly cut lumber of the structure peers back at them from countless knotholes and gaps, its walls creaking as the wind threads through it. Bits of agricultural falderal lay piled against the walls, rusting slowly with disuse. From somewhere inside comes a mischievous giggle.

Delilah notes that the door is ajar and stops a short distance away, “We should spread out, in case they run. Viv, can you watch the front here? Litany, fly around back and stop them if they try to leave.”

The three dream travelers take up their positions and Delilah shimmies through the crack in the door.

Inside, lazy dust motes drift through the air only to be speared by shafts of light from gaps in the lumber. In the far corner a long abandoned still lies half covered in a tarp, while packing crates pile up next to it. Hay and straw lies scattered around, both piled up in bales, and to cover the packed dirt floor.

A few strands of straw drifts down from the hayloft as a pair of voices giggle.

“Come on! Lets wrestle some more!” One insists, eager and playful.

“Is that all you ever want to do?” The other person snips. This second voice drips with the inflection of proper upbringing, full of youthful pride.

“Its fuuuuuun!” The first retorts.

“My father picked hay out of my hair and gave me such a look the other day. You know how much he disapproves.” The second voice sniffs.

>>1002037
Delilah: offer to wrestle.

First impressions are everything, comb your hair out of your eyes and stretch your muscles.

Introduce yourself with "Did somebody say 'wrestle'?"

See how close you can get without alerting them.

Another giggle, “That’s why its fun, Hammy.”

“Ughhhh, you’re so annoying! Can’t you just call me Hammond, like a normal person?”

“I dunno, can I? Ham-n-eggs?” Gabe responds, clearly pleased with himself.

His friend is silent, but his indignation makes the one teen giggle even harder.

Gathering his composure, Hammond continue, “Anyway, I wanted to show you something.”

A hushed silence falls over the hayloft as something is laid down with a thump. Delilah stealthily peeks her head up over the ladder to see two mice in their early teens; their noses buried in a large, leather bound book.

“What is it?”

“Its a book, dummy.”

“O’course its a book. What kinda book?”

“Its a book...” Hammond pauses to build suspense, “of magic.”

Wait for them to chant something, then peer behind them and say "yes master?"

Ask if you can watch. Give them that winning smile so you appear as non-threatening as possible

Oh he is a kid. This must be when he first got interested in portal magic. More like a memory than a dream though?

Say hello.

I still cannot see how this would work. I don't think young Gabe would have any clue if we ask him directly.

Maybe we should watch a little bit more and see what happens?

If the book is the thing that inspired Gabe to be a sender, that may be the form our scroll took in this dream.

Definitely ask if you can watch. It's disarming, shows you don't disapprove of what they're doing, furthermore it shows an interest in what they're doing, which most people will be be happy to oblige.

This fails to garner the response he hoped for as the other mouse pokes around skeptically. “You sure? Its just funny lines and stuff.”

“Well I wouldn’t expect you to understand it.” Sniffs the book owner, “Its advanced stuff. I’m going to be a magic user one day, probably even a Guardian.”

“I didn’t know magic was just funny lines. Seems like no big deal to me.”

The ladder creaks under Delilah’s weight and the two mice freeze. Seeing the healer’s head over the lip of the hayloft, they scramble to their feet, grabbing the book and leaping out of an open window.

Litany!

Oh dear. So it's the other guy who's excited about the book. Which means... something happens to him, and Gabe takes up his mantle? Or do they both go to school together and Gabe winds up being the better student? Or they went to different schools and lost contact. Or maybe this isn't a real memory and the other guy is some kind of representation of Gabe's ambition. Someone he wishes he was like?

“They’re running away!” Delilah shouts, following Gabe and Hammond in long, powerful strides. She drops out of the second story loft, landing heavily in a pile of straw bales unharmed, but a little inconvenienced.

Delilah shrugs off the weight and sprints after the boys, easily outstripping them in a flat run.

Litany swoops down in front of them and spreads their arms wide to bar their way.

The teens are shocked by the angel’s arrival but, sensing the fey’s uncertainty, fork around them and run past.

He turns to look at her with confusion etched across his face. “Who’re you? Wha’dya want?” He squints and cocks his head suspiciously.

>>1002986
His help, actually

We're looking for something, and hope that maybe you've seen it.

>>1002986
Fey shenanigans are afoot, a muse's inspiration has been lost and we have divined your future self will the one to help us find it

A few suggestions I can think of.

1. We are less rational when dreaming, and our memory and perception can easily mix things up. Even if it's Gabe's young self here, it's still himself in his own head, so it could still make sense to him if we remind him that he already knows us. His mind could go: "I can't tell exactly but they ARE my friends..."

Alternatively
2. People can become aware of they are dreaming (I had a few lucid dreams). Maybe we can try to remind him that directly? If successful, that would make things much easier.

Or
3. If we are in a sandbox where Gabe stucks in this "younger version", then... tell him we are time travlers from your future?

Though
how come he's grey, but his brother is Pink? Is that a hint?

Telling him outright that we’re inside his brainspace may cause this dream/memory to crash. Who knows what sort of fun things could happen to us then.

I wonder if this is fully Gabe’s memory or the fae scroll making him part of a sort of story or play.

“Its me, Delilah. Remember?” The healer holds her hands up in an attempt to seem non-threatening. “We’re here looking for the song, right?”

“Song? I...” Gabe blinks and thinks hard, like he’s trying to piece together a broken vase in his mind. “This... why’s this so familiar?”

“What’re you doing? Come on!” His friend tugs at his shoulder and they dive towards the hedgeline, slipping through a hole just big enough for an adolescent.

Quick give his tail a boob job

Well, I guess you could follow by making the hole bigger.

>>1003399
This is perfect, even if it doesn't help us

Petty sure that version of Gabe is underage, guys...

Jump over the hedge.

>>1003398
Healing magic boosted sprint into a powerslide through the hole!

How many entrances are there through the hedges? Might have to split up as they could have gone in any direction.

Also might have to explain things with Gabe’s friend and let him know we’re not just a bunch of weirdos butting in on their business.

Actually, change to tutoring for Noodle. This is really a last chance for her, while we can still meditate later.

Delilah sticks an arm in after them and grabs around desperately, “Gabe! Come on! I just want to talk to you!” A pair of boyish giggles doppler away into the distance as she huffs in frustration.

She stands and finds the two fey catching up.

“How’d it go?” Vivian asks.

Delilah shrugs, “They ran off, scurried down this hole.”

“We need to follow then.” Vivian kneels down to look inside.

Delilah brushes dust off her arm and shakes her head, “Won’t do any good, unless you have some way of fitting through there.”

“You’d be amazed...” The kitsune hooks a graceful finger through the top of the hole and yanks it upwards, expanding the size several times over.

Peering into the gap, Delilah sees darkness. “Shouldn’t this open up to the other side?”

Vivian shrugs. “It’s wherever Gabe went. Somewhere else in his memory, if I had to guess.”

The darkness within the hole pulls at them, and they take each other’s hands just before they’re dragged through.

The three of them stumble back into the orchard. The light is low and trees bare as the icy grasp of winter claws at them. Their feet disappear into snowdrifts as they shuffle around, getting their bearings.

Gone is the seasons harvest, leaving behind the brittle skeleton of an orchard. Trees lay bare and dormant, crackling gently as ice works its fingers under their bark.

Alright, any sign of life nearby?

>>1003575
Stay close, I have the feeling the cold here can really get to us.
