With Halloween coming soon, there's been a wave of the usual scary stories and gruesome true crime cases. However, we tend to forget that the true horror lies in the everyday. But nevertheless, it's the season for spirits and gore, and it's always enjoyable to engage in the festivities.

If I may recommend some things for one to try, please do tell me how it goes after: How to Have a Nightmare at Will.

too much reading, fizzled out, guess you're just gonna have to read it to me instead ;*

now for the important questions, hirotan <3

what are you going as for halloween? ;D

[saypassion]

There is much truth to that. Do you enjoy such things in particular?

I'll give it a try. I don't normally remember my dreams, but this is an interesting enough experiment to see what happens. I'll report back.

[naniwaspeed]

Nuh uh, no way, not happening. I'll see what Kippei recounts and that satisfies me quite well. ☆ ～('▽^人) I like scary stories and stuff, but dreams can be way too real for that.

[hiro_shi]

Sadly, I won't be able to read it for you as well. If ever, I can always wait until you feel better enough to do it yourself.

Why don't you tell me first what you'll be going as.

[hiro_shi]

I find that the occasional indulgence in such lore is fascinating. Although I don't believe in it, there's always bound to be some grain of truth in there somewhere.

The best of luck to you, Tachibana-kun. I've read some of the comments and it mentions seeing a "large, pale face" appearing in the dreams of complete strangers who have no relations to each other.

[hiro_shi]

Then instead of dreams, would you be more amendable to experiencing something otherworldly in the conscious world? Wouldn't that be more dangerous compared to a dream?

[bana_an_na]

Have you been reading anything, Hiroshi-kun?


I'm almost tempted to try that if only to debunk it.

[hiro_shi]

Nothing particularly frightening, if that's what you mean. But I've been interested in the occult lately and it's quite fascinating.

It does seem rather dubious, doesn't it? If you do give it a try, please make sure to take precautions just in case.

[penipu]

but i forgot how to read :(

but that would be telling ;D

[saypassion]

I would agree with that. It must come from somewhere. I only wish I was so creative.

Hmm. Interesting. Thank you, I'll see how it goes. That does seem quite creepy. The mind does some wonderful games.

[naniwaspeed]

Isn't there something kinda inherently scary about it being a dream, though? I mean, at least if it's in the conscious world, you don't have to worry about wondering whether or not it's real 'cause it would just be real...

[hiro_shi]

How unfortunate. I suppose we'll have to help you remember just how to do it.

And isn't that the point? Think of this as you choosing treat so that you won't be subjected to any...surprising events then.

[hiro_shi]

Knowing you, I am sure you'll be able to come up with something. If ever you run into any trouble doing so, I believe Kamio-kun and An-chan will be more than capable of aiding you so.

It's a fascinating place. Perhaps knowing that piece of information could influence your later experience? Maybe know you'll come to expect such an occurrence, don't you think?

[hiro_shi]

But if it were in the real world then whatever happens to you could possibly be permanent. If it were in a dream, wouldn't it merely be a temporary state that you could escape by simply waking up?

[penipu]

will it hurt? :(

well hang on a sec, what if i want to be surprised? what if the treat is better than anything premeditated? i don't think you've thought this all the way through, hirotan ;*

[saypassion]

That's very true. They are incredibly creative people. And I love spending time with them which is always a plus, of course.

It very well might. It might be a matter of making the mind acclamate to it.

[naniwaspeed]

But what if I didn't wake up? ヾ(･ω･`;)ﾉ
