Log:

[Under the light of the full moon, the Mysterious Feathers™ begin to glow.

In the hours that follow after they sprawl out to sleep, those who had the good fortune (or at least the insatiable curiosity) to pick up one of those feathers earlier in the week will come to discover that something very strange is happening across the regions of Johto and Kanto. There's a saying about what happens when you let your mind wander; this time, though, it's a little more than just one's mind that's going wandering, as dream after dream stretches out before you like a horizon just begging to be chased.

Don't worry about getting lost, dreamers; as real and vivid as they may seem, your surroundings are really only visions and illusions, and in the end the failsafe way to escape from them is to simply wake up. If and when you do, you might feel perfectly well-rested or as on-edge as if you'd just jolted awake from a nightmare; like the dreams themselves, there's really no telling how the experience will play out for you, being different and unique to everyone.

But for now, you've got the whole night ahead of you, filled with places to go and people to see. Might as well make the most of it while it lasts...]

Scar stopped walking again.

"That is completely illogical," he said simply. It just was. It was another moment before he spoke again.

"You aren't miserable at it." He felt an uncomfortable quiver in the back of his throat, and that damn lightness in his stomach. "You're awkward, but less so than I am. You make me..." he trailed off again, not sure of what to say.

"In comparison, maybe." Lust shrugged. "I struggle with my emotions, with expressing them properly. I think and feel so many things that I never say. I don't know how to comfort anyone properly. It's hard to learn these things, late in life."

She squeezed his hand, her own eyes lowering. She wondered if he'd intended to say something and thought better, or simply had no words for expression.

[envy_the_sinners]

"Better," he finally mumbled, as if his brain was still stuck on what he had failed to say rather than realizing what Lust had been saying in response.

"Everyone has emotions they never verbalize. It is awkward for everyone, sharing emotional things."

As evidenced by his muffled rambling only a moment ago.

[a_sin_for_him]

She didn't know what to say to him, in response to wanting to be better because of her. She could only look away, awkward, proof in the flesh - so to speak - of their very conversation.

"It's not fair that it's so difficult. If it were easier...so much else would be easier."

[envy_the_sinners]

"If it were easier, they wouldn't be emotions." Scar started moving again, hand gently pulling Lust's to hopefully have her follow him out of this room. He couldn't imagine it was doing her any good.

[a_sin_for_him]

Lust let him lead her away.

"It still isn't fair." There was little venom or vehemence in her voice, just a tired sort of quiet. It ought to be easy, after everything. But nothing ever was, not if it mattered. Valuable things had to be hard won.

"I suppose I'm just tired of difficult things, right now."

[envy_the_sinners]

"If there were ever a place things did not need to be difficult..." Scar felt he didn't need to finish. It would be in this world, regardless of what's been thrown at them.

And if there was anything he could do to make it easier... Well, he kept that thought to himself as he led her away.

[a_sin_for_him]

"You make it better."

The words were out before she could stop them. There was less control, in dreams. And it was a deep, simple truth. Scar's being here made her own quest to be better and do better that much easier. It wasn't just for her sake, something she wasn't sure would be enough motivation alone. It was for him - to be better for him.

And perhaps somehow make it better for him.

"You make it...worth the difficulty."

[envy_the_sinners]

Scar felt as if he had tensed and deflated at the same time when Lust spoke. He was important to someone. But that also came with a certain sense of obligation. He was the last person who should be anyone's emotional counsel, but she trusted him with these things.

"You as well," he finally muttered.
