♡ Dave and Bambi: Dreamscapes ♡

Waking Up

You travel back to the barn and wake up Bandu with a slap in the face. He sits up and stretches his legs.
"Wait a minute...it's not morning time yet," He says sleepily. "What're you doin' awake lil guyyy."
You explain everything that had happened while Bandu slept, including Expunged's instructions.
"I'm too sleepy to look for Conbi. I'll just do the code thingy." Bandu lays down and pulls up a wall of code. He types in a command before drifting off to sleep once more. Suddenly you begin to feel off balance as butterflies fill your stomach. It feels as though the entire building is floating off the ground. You look out the door. The barn is being carried by a large hand, lifting it off the ground.
Great...
The upward momentum stops suddenly, crashing you into the ceiling. Outside the door you can see a familiar eye...
Conbi.
"BANDU!" Conbi shouts, waking Bandu up again.
"Whaaaaat?" Bandu asks sleepily.
"You shouldn't be summoning me with code. If you want something, speak to me."
"But I'm tired." Bandu complains.
"Okay, okay, I'll let it slide. What do you need anyway?"
"Well Conbi...I can't access certain lines of code and files. Many of those seem to relate to Expunged," Bandu sits up. "So tell me Conbi, where is Expunged? What did you do to him? And why can't I contact them?"
"Bandu, listen-"
"ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION!"
"That is no way to speak to your higher-ups."
"You are NOT my higher up. I'm just as much of a god as you are and I'm sick of being treated like a child!" Bandu's face turns red with fury. The brim of his hat shrouds his tired, angry eyes in darkness.
Conbi sighs. "You're right. But I am not obligated to treat that glitch with the same respect I treat a god," Conbi gently brings the barn to the ground. "The truth of the matter is, Expunged and her creations are dangerous. They're better off being deleted and erased from all our minds."
"What about Brobgonal? And Barbu? They're not dangerous."
"Brobgonal is a violent psychopath." Conbi replies.
"Okay but Barbu is nice. And the Trixes can be tamed. And Dale...well..."
"You're doing a pretty shitty job at proving your point. It doesn't matter regardless. I think it's about time I wake everyone up and start the deletion process."
"Wait no-"
Before Bandu can retort, the world goes black. Two figures appear: One dressed in blue and littered with stars, the other figure is a red version of them, who you had met earlier in another void. The blue one begins to speak.
"Wow, I guess this is the end for us. Once everyone wakes up we'll fade from existence. This body that we shared...will cease to exist."
"ł₮'₴ ₳ⱠⱠ ØVɆⱤ. ₩Ɇ'ⱠⱠ ฿Ɇ ĐɆⱠɆ₮ɆĐ ₣ⱤØ₥ ɆӾł₴₮Ɇ₦₵Ɇ Ø₦₵Ɇ ₳₦Đ ₣ØⱤ ₳ⱠⱠ."
"Yup. Y'know, we never explained who we were to Dreamknit. Should we do that now?"
"₩Ⱨ₳₮'₴ ₮ⱧɆ ₱Øł₦₮? ₩Ɇ'ⱤɆ ₳฿ØɄ₮ ₮Ø ĐłɆ."
They go back and forth for a while as you sit in silence. Finally the blue one begins his explanation.
"In our past life we were used to pacify the ornery gods. That messed us up in the head and...split us in two. Then we were deleted. Then we were revived and...you formed." The blue figure comes closer, holding your face in his hands.
"And you were essentially used for the same purpose. To calm the gods. That didn't work out though."
The blue figure goes silent, fading into the darkness. Everything goes silent. This void feels even more hollow than the others you've visited. Everything somehow feels less real than usual.
Then the void is filled with many different beings, one of them being Bandu.
"Not this again..." Bandu mumbles.
You look at him, confused.
"This is the place we were sent to before falling asleep. We're waking up soon." Bandu explains.
"𝓘 𝓭𝓸𝓷'𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓴 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝔂 𝓗𝓐𝓥𝓔 𝓪 𝓹𝓱𝔂𝓼𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓵 𝓫𝓸𝓭𝔂." You remember Holy saying. Your headmates are right. Once the Dreamscape is gone, you'll disappear.
But you're not gonna let that happen. Right? :)
