Private Who You Gonna Call?

The twins were silent for a bit, Avram's face contorting in a way that made it clear that they were having some kind of internal argument. Without fully seeming to realize that he was doing it, he wrapped his arms around himself in a kind of self hug and just stayed there for a minute.

"We're in. Obviously. We're not a huge fan of all the Lovecraft bullshit happening to us lately. You just tell us what to do, Dela. We've got your back."

Lycia nodded along as Dela described it. "Maybe if we have our heads put together I do not need to know it looks if you do. It is hard to imagine the thing you are saying." Even her mind could only comprehend so much of what was obviously something not meant for mortals to understand.

"I do not know what the spell needs but you will all need the red cups with water too if you are going to come into the Dream with us to find the door. Tonight we will do a real adventure!" She smiles brightly in the general directions she thinks everyone is based on their souls.

Falling asleep was easier than Avigail would have thought: though that was mostly because Avram was there to help talk her through a little guided meditation that called her nerves.

They were asleep in no time, the first time in a while they'd gone to b bed at the same time.

Waking up in the dream was an experience for sure. But as Avram stood up and looked around and Avigail did the same thing, they both began to tear up and hugged each other tightly for the first time in what felt like years.

"We're here," Avram called out when he heard Dela's voice, but Avigail chimed in to add on - in her own separate voice no less, "W-we need a minute, yeah?"

Trouble falling asleep? That probably wasn't possible for Lycia. It was almost nothing for her to fall asleep pretty much any time she wanted. She seemed to just be there when the others 'woke up' in the Dream as if she had been there the whole time. Dressed in her same dress and hood as she had been wearing in the real world, except she was barefoot in the sand they stood on and her eyes were no longer clouded over. They were crystal blue and joyfully taking in their actual appearances.

"We are all here I think. How far-" she was interrupted by her own giggling as she was bumped from behind by the snout of a large brown-furred creature somewhat like a yak or a cow. To which she cheered and hugged the creature. "We can maybe ride some of the Natau if you do not want to walk far?" They weren't exactly overly well suited for riding and there were no saddles but still. Lycia was excited and not wholly grasping the gravity of the current 'adventure'.

After several minutes of hugging and just generally laughing and crying together, Avram and Avigail made their way over to the group with their fingers locked together. It had been seemingly forever since the two of them had been actually side by side, they acted like they didn't want to be apart now.

Avram spoke up first. "If you think those things are safe to ride, then sure."

"It's her dream world, dweeb. Of course they're safe. Plus it'll be fun!"

"I don't think fun is why we're here..."

Despite the seriousness of Avram's tone, the two of them seemed determined and ready to get this over with. Avigail was first though, reluctantly slipping away from Avram's grip and going over to one of the natau. "It's just like those horse riding lessons Mom got for us when we were kids..." then she looked the massive creature over.

"Probably, right?"
