Dec 12 - Wrapping Paper

(Ao3 Link)

Of all the things that Hob had expected Morpheus to get stuck on in regards to the gift giving season, wrapping paper was nowhere on his list. Morpheus, having worked for the library for almost a full year now, has earned himself a good paycheck and insisted on finding appropriate gifts for those he cares for.

That, oddly enough, was the easy part. All the gifts have been obtained at least a month ago and have been sitting, hidden in the back of their closet. Now, however, Hob isn’t quite certain how to help with Morpheus’s particular problem.

“Those ones no good either?” He asks as Morpheus returns to his side after scouring through every roll of wrapping paper available at Tesco over in Bushwood. Morpheus pulls the collar of his coat up against the winter chill as he nuzzles into Hob’s side. Hob wraps his arms around his shoulders, tucking the black floof covered head under his chin.

“No,” he mumbles against his shoulder. “They were all wrong.”

Hob hums as he rocks his boyfriend in his arms. “Sorry, love.” He pressed a kiss to the top of his head. “I think we’ve looked at every store around that’s got wrapping paper. No luck on the internet either, yet?”

“No…” Morpheus mumbles again. He sighs and lifts his head off of Hob’s shoulder. He’s slouched, his face down turned. It breaks Hob’s heart to see him so sad over something Hob feels helpless to fix.

Then he has a thought.

“Have you tried asking Daniel?” Morpheus looks up at him, brows furrowed.

“For what purpose?”

“Well, it seems like the wrapping paper of your dreams might only be found… in your dreams.” He gives Morpheus a smile. “At least until us humans catch up to your brilliance.”

His lover turns his gaze over Hob’s shoulder, staring out in a look that Hob’s learned means he’s thinking very deeply. He stays there, rubbing Morpheus’s shoulders, waiting out his thought process. After a few moments, he turns back to Hob and nods.

“That is not a bad idea… however, it is a trivial request. It would be foolish to ask such a thing of him.”

“Mmm, why not give it a shot anyways? You might be surprised.”

“I… suppose.”

Morpheus is sitting in their living room above the New Inn. It is raining outside. More specifically, it is raining upwards and the water is orange. There is a camel sitting in the chair across from him, speaking in German. He is dreaming.

“I call to you, Dream of the Endless, if you will hear me.” Morpheus calls out into his dreamscape.

“Morpheus,” Daniel’s voice rings in the small space. Within a blink, the camel is now Daniel, white flowing robes undulate around his form, the emerald dreamstone sits proudly upon his neck. He is smiling. Morpheus smiles in return.

“My lord,” Morpheus ducks his head in a bow. Daniel raises his hand, dismissing him.

“You are family, Morpheus. And you were once us. Do not worry for such formalities.” Daniel shifts, folding one leg over the other as he pulls forth two glasses of wine from the fabric of the Dreaming. He passes one to Morpheus. “To what do I owe the visit?”

Taking a sip of the wine, Morpheus hums. He remembers it’s taste from centuries ago. It is old, older than Hob, in fact. “I have a dilemma. Hob suggested I reach out to you to see if you would be able to assist. I am aware it is a trivial matter, but…” He takes another sip.

Daniel looks him over, watching his movements before finishing his sentence for him. “But it is important to you.”

“Yes.”

Daniel nods, gesturing for him to continue. Taking a breath, Morpheus speaks. “There lives, quite possibly only in my mind, paper I would wish to wrap the gifts I have found for those close to me. I have been unsuccessful in my search for something near it in the Waking world. I thought, perhaps, you may be able to help me obtain this. From within my dreams.”

Morpheus may be human, no longer Dream of the Endless, but the knowledge of how the Dreaming works remains. Within mere moments, the wrapping paper he has so clearly envisioned in his mind’s eye appears in front of him.

The paper is crisp, smooth, and blacker than the night sky. Stars twinkle lightly in the void with patches of color like nebulae in the distance. It sent a pang through his heart at the realization he was seeking paper that looked identical to the lining of his coat when he had been Endless. No wonder it was impossible to find in the Waking.

“This is the paper you seek?”

“Yes… I.” Morpheus clears his throat.

“Very well. When you wake, this shall follow you.”

Morpheus jerks his head up. “Truly?”

“I would not lie.”

He smiles. “Thank you. Daniel. Truly, I thank you.”

When Morpheus awakes in the morning, the impossible starry night sky wrapping paper rests on the nightstand beside him. He reaches over, pulling the paper close and rubs his thumb over the twinkling stars. He loves his human life here. He would not trade it for the world, and certainly wouldn’t wish to return to his old responsibilities. But, impossibilities like this, the familiarity of it all, that he does miss.

“Dove?” Hob mutters into his pillow to his left. “S’early.”

“Daniel was kind enough to grant my wish.” Morpheus says, not lifting his eyes from the wrapping paper. He hears Hob shuffle in the sheets and then sees a tan hand reach out and graze the top of the night sky.

“Well, if this is what you were trying to find, I’m not surprised you didn’t find it at Tesco.” He says with a laugh.

“No. No I suppose not.”

Name: Hobgoblin

Debut: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Oogity boogity boo!! Welcome back to the Triple-Feature Hallowe ‘en Extravaganza: Part II! And for this post, I’d like to draw your attention to the classics, because whatever happened to the nasty little men of Halloween? The imps, the gremlins, the boggarts and brownies? 

Of course, when it comes to silly names, the Hobgoblin has to take the cake! It’s actually a combination of the names of two other mythical rascals: the Hob and the Goblin! But on top of that, it’s just really fun to say. It makes me think of hobnobs. Mmm... Hobnobs. Actually, I’m not much of a fan of Hobnobs. 

But er, where was I? Hobgoblins! Even though Christianity makes them out to be nasty spirits, in a lot of old stories, they’re actually portrayed as helpful! Which brings us to today’s enemy, who is, of course, a helpful support enemy! He supports other enemies, to be clear. Not you.

What a lovely little specter, though! Of course, he’s carrying a little lantern, like any mysterious ghoul who’s worth his money. The bag on his head, which sort of looks like a skull? Mwah! Belíssimo!  And the nose hole? It looks mammalian, I guess. Isn’t that strange? 

Clearly, though, I’m not the only one who loves this guy’s face! Computer, zoom in:

On Hobgoblin’s pendant(?) is... another Hobgoblin! Hobgoblin wears his own face on his clothes. Presumably, this is a detail you can’t even see on the sprite, which makes you wonder why they did it for the render. It’s really funny, though! 

Actually, speaking of the sprite, it feels oddly different to his render. I wonder if this is just a limitation thing, but it seems a lot more eerie! Like a genuine zombie, or something. 

And of course, I can’t talk about Hobgoblin without bringing up his obligatory RPG reskin: Straw Head! There’s not much to say about him, except the fact they’re supposed to be scarecrows, and can use the S'crow Funk move which turns YOU into a scarecrow! Man, sometimes I take Mario RPG for granted. 

His render is also lower quality, but you can just about make out the picture of his own face on the pendant. Or... is it even his own face? These pictures are in black and white, after all! Could it be that Hobgoblin has a picture of Straw Head, and vice-versa? Are they perhaps... long lost lovers? Their Japanese names, Pierre and Edward, seem like they’d have some kind of connection... maybe it was their names in their former lives! How sad! 

Well, judging by his Psychopath, Pierre doesn’t seem too upset by the matter. In fact, he seems pretty happy just to be alive! Let’s hear Edward’s thoughts on the topic, shall we?

Excellent commentary as always, Super Mario RPG! Thank you for your time. Be sure to tune in later today for our final(?) Halloween shenanigan!
