SwapDream

Dreamtale

Oneiro thought the chat went rather well, noting how the familiars were still chasing each other in the tall grass with no signs of agitation to be seen. No matter what it looked like he did in fact have a near impeccable control over his magic, something rather vital when he started interacting with other monsters when his sanity somewhat returned. It became even more vital when he met Karma and the only slip ups he had were in periods of high emotion usually caused by a high stress situation due to Karma but even then he was rather good at avoiding smothering living beings.

He scuffed his foot in the dead grass under his feet, a neat circle burned into the ground after his little demonstration but it didnt go that deep and he knew life would still flourish from it. He had little care for this AU anymore but his twin for some unfathomable reason cared for it so still, so even in his less stable states he subconsciously avoided staying here long so he didn't bring the entire AU down with his magic alone.

He spotted his brother still sitting on the stump of the tree he long ago felled, giving him time to gather themselves as they had time, no rush to leave as Karma was being babysat and he knew they would call if need be.

He sighed as he stretched out his wings to take in the sun, the empty AU rather relaxing to be in without having to deal with many pesky emotions from other monsters or humans. He was of course aware how that wasn't the same for normal monsters, his old AU a tad suffocating for most due to the high magic let out during the event. It was interesting to see how much Dreamtales differered from each other, entering some which felt lifeless and others which was like stepping in an inferno of mixed emotions.

He was still interested in finding the Creator of his multiverse but it seems the Ink was purposefully hiding from him, which was smart on their part as when he first heard about that type of monster and what their role was he had wanted to rip them apart but now he was simply curious what led them to creating this place.

He knew he would be using his AU in the future to help Karma practise a bit more in sensing emotions, it practically perfect for those lessons without strangers to muddy up the atmosphere with the ambient magic a helpful boost to aid Karma in the process. He might even bring that other who he thought was called Eclipse to help, an oddly good teacher. It was rather cute that the monster truly believed he could hide from him but he let it be, always keeping tags on any strays Karma had grown fond of just in case.

Dreamtales were rather odd AU's in general and didn't have the exact same rules as other places. It was the main reason monsters could go insane simply coming to these types of AU, their base emotions forcibly elevated due to the ambient magic in the air and then abruptly having a slight sense for others emotions, when they never had that ability before could be very disortinting and maddening.

He might have purposefully done that a few times in the past, purely due to the fact it had amused him and so many times he had been tempted to throw Ordeals 'pets' here as well but barely restrained himself, thinking he deserved a medal for that level of self control. He still did get rid of a lot of idiots who wouldn't leave his twin alone as even in the past he did not appreciate people going after them, sighing fondly at recalling that stupid Sans who had tried to fight his brother in some ignorant belief they were the cause of all misery.

Truly good times, it nice to have sorted all that with most people now knowing better due to the rumours passed down the years but he did sometimes miss the simplicity of it.
