Lucifer's Dreamwalking

 

Comment here with your character in the middle of a dream while sleeping at night, and Lucifer will appear.

(He will be appearing at random to new CR, just looking around for company...!

But can also be summoned into dreams after any praying that is directed to 'angels' or to Lucifer directly.)

"It's an exaggeration," Willow replies. "I'm not that powerful. Or-or, at least I don't feel like I am."

She doesn't like the turn this conversation is taking, and the butterfly, seemingly, finally, cluing in silently returns to her shoulder. "Why do you want to know what I can cast?"

Willow studies Lucifer for a long, silent moment, debating how best to answer the question.

"Spellbooks and ingredients seem to be kind of hard to come by around here, so really, not much," she admits. It's an honest, if incomplete answer. There are a few spells she can cast from memory, ones that don't require anything more than being able to focus and speak an incantation, like the one she knew the butterfly was thinking of to try to get them out of the maze.

"What sort of power do you have?" She's still not sure how much she wants to trust him, but there is curiosity behind the question.

"An angel? You mean, like, one of God's angels?" Part of her wants to be skeptical, but it's Deerington, and really, there's no reason that running into an angel should be that farfetched under the circumstances.

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do to unclip your wings, if that's what you were thinking when the butterfly said I was powerful." It feels like a good idea to get that out of the right off the bat. "Even if you had a spell, and the ingredients, there's no guarantee it would work here."

There's a pause, before she asks, "so, what's your name, anyway?"

"Nice to meet you too, Nick," she's polite, even though she's still a bit nervous of him. It's reassuring though that he's not here expecting help getting his powers back, but just as a way to pass the time. She's not... entirely sure how she feels about the uninvited intrusion into her dream, though.

"Where are you trapped? I assume you don't just mean here in Deerington like the rest of us?" She gestures around vaguely. It's still the bright hedge maze, but in the dream she's able to recognize that it's her mind's way of trying to figure out how to get back home again.

Willow's eyebrows raise. Trapped in a body, as a prisoner, not his own? Well, isn't that disturbing shades of Glory all over again. Still, despite being spooked by his behaviour when the butterfly revealed her as a witch, as far as she can tell, Nick seems to have little in common with the hell god. Maybe he's just not great with interacting with people.

She looks around, and shrugs. "Oh, this? It's a dream. It doesn't have to make sense, does it? How did you get stuck in someone else's body?"

The butterfly still quietly perched on Willow's shoulder pipes up, ever helpful. "I think it's Deerington."

Willow nods, mulling over his story. "Yeah, Deerington seems to have that affect on people's powers, I guess. Who, um. Who trapped you?"

It's disturbingly similar to the story of Ben and Glory. Except Glory was not an angel, but a fearsome hell god imprisoned in a mortal body in an attempt to contain her and her power. Glory who sapped away Tara's sanity, and almost killed all of them at one point or another. Glory, whose plan to tear down the barriers between dimensions was foiled by Buffy sacrificing herself to save the world, and Dawn. They're not exactly happy memories.

It's enough of a reminder that the scene shifts suddenly away from the brightly lit hedge maze with a flash and crack that sounds like thunder to a construction site with a large, albeit somewhat unstable looking tower at night.

The butterfly is still with them, still perched on Willow's shoulder, but the anxiety is clear in her small voice. "Willow, we don't want to be here..."

As much as Willow is unsure about how much she really wants to trust Nick, his warning about Sam doesn't fall entirely on deaf ears. Her own mother tried to burn her, another witch named Amy, and her friend Buffy at the stake when they were in high school; The whole town under the influence of a demon posing as two murdered children that led them to believe it was the work of witches.

"I'll keep that in mind, thanks. He intentionally trapped you, then? In his own mind?" That seems... ill-advised.

She glances at the tower as he asks the obvious question, clearly uncomfortable. "This? It's a memory. The butterfly's right, I don't want to be here. Let's talk about something else."

"I dunno. I mean, we have demons, and vampires and stuff back home - I've never met an angel before, though, so I don't have much to compare to. It just... sounds like a bad idea to intentionally trap a powerful being in your own mind." She smiles a little. "Kinda like having a roommate you can never get rid of, but you really, really don't get along with."

Willow shivers and wraps her arms around herself, frowning. "I've seen this plenty of times already. I don't need to see it again. My best friend died here."

Willow follows his gaze to the tower, and quickly looks away, frowning. "I-I dunno. Usually it just plays out the way it really happened. A portal opens just under the tower... Buffy jumps into it to save her sister, and the world, and we find her, and I wake up."

"We couldn't save her," the butterfly adds sadly. "We tried, but we didn't see what was happening quick enough to stop the portal from being opened in the first place. There was a lot going on on the ground too."

"She was my best friend. But close enough to be like a sister," Willow answers. Buffy's death is still hard to talk about, and she carries some guilt over not being fast enough, or strong enough to have prevented it. "But yeah. She was really brave. She saved the world a lot."

It's the butterfly who fields the question about the portal, as she has been any other time Willow herself has been reluctant. "There was this god from another dimension. Crazy strong and crazy... well, crazy. She was trying to get home and the only way for her to do it was to tear down the barrier between worlds. It would have unleashed hell on Earth. Buffy stopped her, but one of her acolytes was going to start the ritual. We tried to stop him, but we were too late. We should've noticed sooner."

The butterfly pauses. Apparently it's hard for her to talk about as well. "The only way to close the portal again was for either Buffy, or her sister to die. So Buffy jumped into it."

Willow studies Nick quietly for a moment. She wasn't expecting him to be pro-hell god or anything, but he seems to be painting all gods with the same brush, including, presumably, the one that made him. Huh.

"Well... I'm sure they're not all bad?" She offers. "You know, the ones from horrifying hell dimensions aside. Not that I'm in any hurry to meet any more to prove that theory. One was definitely more than enough."

"Yeah. The world was saved again in the end," Willow echoes. "For now, at least."

"Yeah," Willow replies with a nod. "Someone - or something - trying to destroy the world, or the world as we know it, isn't really totally unheard of where I'm from. I mean, it doesn't happen every day or anything, but... It's been at least... Six? I think. You kinda stop counting after awhile."

He would hate all of her friends so much.
