only in dreams we see what it means // septiplier

Jack always feels a bit guilty for slipping into people’s dreams without asking. It feels like some deep violation, one that he’s certain he should’ve been called out on by now, but he hasn’t received so much as a light scolding. As far as excuses for pushing his luck go, it’s not his best one, but… but, here he still is.

His “fingers” brush over the door in front of him, the warmth and familiarity calling to him like a siren call. He would know this mind anywhere, even without the name printed clearly on the door: MARK E. FISCHBACH. He still has time to leave, to avoid this door at all costs. The first time had broken his heart, seeing Mark react to his death, and the second time was better, but still heartbreaking in a different way. A picture perfect afternoon for just them. It was like a shared fantasy, a sweet day, one that is never truly within their grasp. They barely get enough time to hang out just in their rooms. And seeing Mark in that environment, the sunlight practically making him glow, his eyes only focused whenever they’d land on Jack...

Still, his fingers close around the doorknob. He’s not known for his self-control, after all.

The moment he starts to open the door, everything changes. Mark’s mind seems to immediately accept his presence, as if he belongs there, as if he’s a missing piece falling back into place. He almost shudders with it, feeling so utterly at peace that he practically aches with it.

It takes him a moment to take in his surroundings, and when he does, he almost laughs. It looks like a fancy ballroom, or maybe a ‘20s speakeasy? The details are fuzzy, seeming to stitch the two different settings into one, like it’s trying to fit both stereotypes at once. Everyone is dancing - most people are blurry, almost like they have no face, which is disconcerting to say the least. He can pick out a few of their friends, and some faces that seem slightly more defined, but it takes him a moment to find Mark.

When he does, it’s almost comedic how he missed him at all. The man - or, representation of his mind? - is genuinely glowing, though it’s faint. In the almost desaturated colors of the room, he seems to be the only thing in full color, almost exaggeratedly so. Jack’s breath would catch, if it could. As it is, however, he just pushes forward through the crowd, takes the seat next to his best friend.

“Nice party,” Jack says after a moment, unsure if Mark will be able to see him this time around.

“Is it?” the other guy replies quietly, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye before his eyes flick back to whatever he was watching before.

“Is it not? I wouldn’t actually be able to tell either way. Everyone seems to be dancing, though, so I’d say it’s a success.” It’s actually eery, the dancing - everyone is perfectly in sync, every movement choreographed. Only one person seems to be moving on their own - though, really, they’re just off-beat with everyone else. Same moves, same flourishes, just… a little before. Almost as if they were leading the dance. Jack can’t figure out who the person is supposed to be, but they have a touch of color to them as well - not nearly as strong as Mark - and Mark’s eyes seem to be following them as they go.

“I guess. I never really cared enough to notice.”

“Fair enough.”

They lapse into silence, and though there’s a pang of something in the air, the overall atmosphere is a comfort to Jack. The details are weird, and a little murky, but it’s a dream. He wasn’t expecting it to be vivid, especially with so much going on. Especially with Mark’s focus on one specific person…

The music shifts from a lively jazz to something smoother, more waltz-esque than not, and the crowd seems to part, a spotlight shining down from seemingly nowhere, catching on that one person, who has yet to change their tune. Everyone else seems to almost literally melt away into the background, leaving… leaving… Rosanna. Of course it’s Rosanna. Jack’s gaze immediately falls to the ground, and he tries to ignore the hollow ache ringing through him.

“Why don’t you dance with her?” he finds himself asking, though he’d rather not acknowledge her. Nothing against Rosanna, but he’s suddenly so tired, and he would much rather leave right now, thank you very much. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Mark’s head turn to face him completely for the first time since Jack came in, and he finds himself meeting his gaze without even thinking about it. His expression is sad, longing, confused.

“I can’t. She has someone else to dance with.”

Jack furrows his brows slightly, glancing back out to the dancing Rose, and… sure enough, someone (who looks like a confusing blend of Matt and Cyr) is sliding into her spotlight, their hands finding each other’s, melting into a perfectly synced waltz. It’s surreal, like a scene from a movie, like the happily ever after right before the end credits. He looks away, back to Mark, and finds that he has lost the other man’s attention once more.

“Then why are you here?”

“I… hoped. It doesn’t make sense, but I hoped she’d still dance with me, even though she already has someone.”

And there’s that ache again, as familiar as an old friend but as incapacitating as an old fear. Jack nods softly, sure his expression is open in its pain and sympathy. “It makes sense, bud. I… I really get it.” Mark nods slightly, sighing.

“I missed my shot, you know. I was so close to her, but… she slipped right through my fingers.” 

“Well, why don’t we dance then?” Jack’s not sure where the suggestion comes from, but he refuses to retract it, when it’s all he wants to do. Mark doesn’t know it’s really him, anyway.

“...Us?” And there it is, Mark is finally looking at him again, apparently thoroughly distracted. “I don’t even know the steps.”

“The steps don’t matter, Marky. We can just make up our own dance as we go.”

Mark looks vexxed, but not upset, not like he wants to refuse, and Jack is relieved beyond words when he offers up his hand. He takes it without hesitation (something deep inside of him resonating when he does), and then tugs Mark to his feet, out into the spotlight. There’s a perceptible shift in the air as they do, and there’s a pause, like the entire universe is waiting for their next move. He gives a faint chuckle, and Mark smiles a bit more, and then they’re stepping into each other. Jack lets Mark take the lead, and they fit together like something meant to be.

Or maybe that’s just bias.

Still, they step into the song, into the dance, with ease. It’s not the same one that Rosanna is doing, though the two couples seem to be circling each other within the light. Mark doesn’t even look their way, just gazing at Jack with an odd expression, one that catches in his chest.

“See? Not so shabby, for someone who doesn’t know the steps,” Jack finds himself murmuring, the intensity of the moment making him ache, making him almost nervous. Nervous doesn’t seem like the right word, though.

“Maybe it depends more on who I’m dancing with, then. I’m sure if I was with anyone else right now, I’d be falling over myself.” Mark gives a faint chuckle, a dazzling smile, and Jack feels a little dizzy with it all.

“Yeah? Even…” He can’t bring himself to say her name, but Mark seems to understand. He only spares Rosanna and the Matt/Cyr hybrid a momentary glance before his eyes return to Jack’s, and he nods.

“Yeah. Even Ro. You just… you make this so easy, you know? Everything with you is easy. All I need is you by my side, and…” Jack can’t take his eyes off of Mark, a smile creeping onto his face, and then Mark is pulling him in closer, chest to chest, and his thoughts stutter. He’s never felt so genuinely connected to Mark, and it’s almost like he can read his mind. All of it is fondness, affection, even… even love, just for him.

“Good thing you have me forever, huh?” Jack replies, voice almost murmured, and Mark tilts his head slightly. Out of the corner of Jack’s eye, he can see Rosanna and Matt/Cyr fading into the background, slipping completely out of the spotlight, and his heart skips a beat.

“Yeah. It really is.”

It’s surreal, like a scene from a movie, like the happily ever after right before the end credits. He can’t look away, doesn’t want to, just wants to live in this moment forever. Here, where Mark’s hand meets his; here, where the color thrums through the both of them; here, where they aren’t in perfect sync, but are, in fact, a perfect match.

A Planned Disaster!?

@ribbedxgloves​ from here!

Sadira looked towards little Atsuma, then Sean, as his explanation sunk in, nodding a bit.

“Ah, cool.” She gave him two thumbs-up, before waving at the toddler. “Take your time with your kid. Hi, Atsuma. Auntie Sadira says hi! Sean, I’ll wait outside the house ‘til you’re done.”

And with that, Sadira vanished, reappearing literally outside his house. On the doorstep. Yup. Just there. She could wait. Pacing around outside, she buried her hands in her coat pockets,

Naoto appeared by Sean’s side, having overheard him and Sadira talking, and he looked towards Sean with a soft smile, his adoring gaze flickering towards Atsuma and then to Sean again.

“I can watch Atsuma tonight while you talk to Sadira, dear.” He offered. Naoto was overjoyed that Atsuma was in his and Sean’s lives (or in Naoto’s case, afterlife). Nobutsuna grew fond of having a little sibling in Atsuma, too, and came to visit when he could. During nights when Naoto wasn’t spending time by Sean’s side, he sometimes just stayed up all night to take care of Atsuma, should the child wake at one a.m. or some ungodly hour. Besides, Naoto technically couldn’t sleep despite the dreamwalking, given that he was a ghost, so it worked out.

A Youtube comment on LIS2 ep 2 that caught my eye, referring to the condoms Sean has in his backpack. (Jesse Cox is the one doing this playthrough.)

While Jesse laughs about the “condoms and crackpipe” thing, to me it feels like a darker and more sinister Chekov’s gun. Like when the boys are out on the road again, Sean might have to use those rubbers in order to score some extra cash. And while he very likely won’t have to stoop that low to keep him and his brother afloat (I doubt that this game’s going to get THAT dark), the possibility is still there, however faint and unthinkable.”  

I mean for all we know, they could just end up being a red herring, like the condoms some people have in their wallets from the age of 12 but never used. Better that than Sean having to do something that no teen lad should ever have to do, just to keep his coffers full and his little brother fed. 

 – GmodPlusWOW

The idea of Sean having to sell his body actually kind of scares me. I don’t think DontNod would go that far, but what do you guys think? I don’t know how Daniel would react to that if he knows about it. 

Edit: I took this to Discord and apparently this was already discussed before.

I think it’d just be a “fade to black” situation as Sean tells Daniel to wait outside a motel room or something. Sean emerges looking sickened with $50. Daniel asks if he’s okay, and Sean is kinda shaken up, and just tells him to drop it, and that he’ll be fine.

While I’m fairly certain the game will not involve Sean becoming a prostitute and I’m almost surprised to see it being discussed here, your hypothetical scenario could tie into the Room 14 choice. If Sean told Daniel what was happening in that room, then Daniel will know what’s happening with Sean.

If you don’t know what Dreamwalker was referring to, it’s this.

What the Future brings

read it on the AO3 at http://bit.ly/2XVN7JF

by Nera_Solani

If you could change the future, would you do it? If you knew something was about to go wrong, would you try to prevent it? If you could change anything you wanted, would you fix things, or make them worse? If you could see every possible future, which one would you choose and would you be brave enough to make the required changes? Time is a fragile concept, you never know what a tiny change can lead to, but if you could see it all, if you knew exactly what needed to happen or not to get a certain outcome, what would you do? There’s one mutant, only one, who can do exactly that and she already knows what needs to be changed. For the greater good and for the good of two stubborn men who don’t even know she exists. Yet.

  Or: The one in which Erik keeps dreaming about Cuba until it actually happens.

Hi again! Andrea Diaz AU name: Pajarita AU! Also what if the whole, emergence of kids gaining supernatural powers is some sorta great cataclysm change thing, like Old Things/Magic-stuff "waking up again" or something? Sean's Clairvoyant powers start trickling in slowly, subtly through more drawing opportunities, except unlike the ones where he draws things he's seeing like in canon, and give players heads up for secret paths or bonus stuff or something.

More Pajarita AU: Also I’m a pragmatic & vindictive player, so knowing that Mr Stamper’s a douche makes me just have Sean steal literally everything except 4buying t-shirt,sleeping bag, hotdogs&candybar (50/50 on the Tent/Hoodie tho). Mayb Andy also tries to beg for food from fam w/out being prompted? Sean has option to interrupt/distract her b4hand, also Andy is the one who goes thru the trash for the apple b/c she wants to contribute, if Sean says no, the likihood of Andy stealing from store. (2/4)

I’m also convinced from Before the Storm, that Chloe Price has dreamwalking/Spirit Medium-type powers. (¾)

And the storm that fucks over Arcadia Bay wasn’t actually a result of Max’s Time Powers, but actually Rachel Amber’s weather/nature powers coming for revenge in the horrible way she died. Also Idk what kinda powers Chris Eriksen (can’t repeat powers after all, gotta keep things varied) could have in this AU if he had any at all? Thoughts?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your AU makes the LiS universe sound like an epic sci-fi world! I like it! As for the BtS theories, I’ve seen those before and I like that interpretation. It takes away a lot of unnecessary cruelty towards Max (because “PLOT”) and balances out the trio’s character motivations.
