I have very personal beef with this event. Also Toriningen party appears so ye.

And it takes a while to get to the actual FACE event.

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

The different things the dream world had to offer had always amazed them, even the more terrifying things were so interesting to them. There was always something new and strange around almost every corner, things they could never expect and it's what made exploring the dream world so exciting to them.

[Y/N] rode their bicycle through the Wilderness, having a hard time trying to navigate through the area. They eventually reached the next section which was a bit better, although they were a bit cautious, they didn't want to end up in the Infinite wilderness after all. So they constantly went left, which caused them to find a clear path.

Following it led to another pathway, still sandy and surrounded by the odd plants, but they could hear rather cheerful music, which got louder. Once they had followed the music, they saw three friendly Toriningen, one of each kind, with picnic blankets and food. The music came from a radio, although it seemed a little old and rusty.

As much as they wanted to join them, [Y/N] couldn't, as the entrance is fully blocked by plants. They tried everything they could to get through the blockage, even by changing effects, all of their attempts failed. While they were about to reequip the bicycle effect, they heard a laugh coming from behind them. The girls were laughing at them and their pathetic attempts to join the party, weren't they?

[Y/N] went back to the Infinite wilderness, sulking a little. The sound of sand being lightly kicked was all they could hear, sometimes accompanied by the dreamers own coughing. As much as they wanted to go back to the nexus, they continued exploring the area, until they encountered a house that looked similar to the ones in Baracks Settlement.

Entering the house, they noticed that it was incredibly dark, causing them to equip the lamp effect. Which is also when they noticed something strange. A fairly giant creature with a red head was sitting next to a hot spring pool, a cord that is connected to the back of hits head is absorbing the water. The creatures mouth is open, as a weird substance is coming from its eyes and it seems to be gasping for air.

Equipping and using the Medamaude, the dreamer got back to the nexus. Quickly getting back on their bicycle, [Y/N] decided to wander through Number World, they only ever went there for the lamp effect afterall. They opened the door, the sound being slightly different as it sounds more like a slightly heavy thud once it closes.

They wondered about in which direction they should go, a little more to the right of the door that leads to Number Worlds possible sub-area being the direction they chose. [Y/N] had always hated the noises in this area, which is why they tried to avoid it as much as possible. Something about the loud and distorted bell noises was just so awful to listen to. While they thought about what they could find,
[Y/N] noticed that one of the walls looked different. The usual smile that the blue heads have plastered on their faces wasn't present on this specific zippertile, it was actually frowning.

The dreamer wondered if they could use the knife effect to somehow cut the zipper open, which they decided to do. They stabbed through the zipper and slowly began cutting it open, they noticed that blood seemed to leak out of the zipper, which made them realize that this thing was actually alive. Once they finished slicing it open, the zippertile let out that god awful scream and its eyes widened.

Now that the zipper is opened, [Y/N] slightly crouched and crawled their way through, knife still in their hand. It seemed to lead to a pathway, they stood back up and started walking along the path. This was odd, they never encountered something like this before and they swore that zippertile always had the same smile as all the other blue faces, so why did it suddenly change? But that didn't matter as something else caught their eye.

Behind one of the stairways railings, a weird colorful worm like creature can be seen. Its eyes were fairly wide and completely empty, except for the two red pupils that were glowing. The pair of eyes were accompanied by a large smile. It was rubbing the railing at a slightly fast pace, which was probably because [Y/N] had their knife out, but other than that it didn't do anything else. It didn't try to speak, move or even look at them as if they weren't there. But they knew that it could sort of see that they were there, due to the way it rubbed the railing rather quickly, as if they were going to harm it.

[Y/N] simply walked past it, they would examine it a bit more, but they had no full interest in it. They found a door that looked similar to the one in their room. This confused the dreamer and something about a door looking suspiciously similar to theirs made them feel uneasy. Hesitantly, they put their hand on the handle and opened it.

Maybe they shouldn't have done so.

Suddenly all they saw were flashing colors and extremely loud and distorted sounds were playing. Eventually they could see lines forming a face. It was almost...familiar...No... No no no no no no no no no no no no NO! They didn't want to see it, but it didn't matter where they looked, they would still see it and it's disgusting features. Their eyes wouldn't close and they couldn't wake up, as if they were being forced to witness it.

[Y/N]s head started to hurt not to mention that they were feeling nauseous and were on the verge of passing out. After what felt like forever, they woke up in a state of pure panic. Their breath was frantic and they were sweating. [Y/N] started to calm down, but not fully.

They quickly got up and sat down on their desk chair and wrote in their dream diary. The dreamer hated everything about that disgusting face. It managed to become the first ever thing in their dream world that they regret discovering. Once they were done they slammed the dairy shut, got up and walked towards the balcony.

They just needed to take their mind off of what had happened.
