I am not a nice person

[sensitiveapple]

Who: Misa and anyone that can hear her scream. (Sorry 3C)
What: Misa has a dream.
When: Early morning of Egret 6
Where: Cabin 3C
Warnings: Misa being Misa, and her dream

It's a perfectly lovely sleep. She dreams of being back in Freema's kitchen. There are smells of tarts being baked, and the soft sound of Freema humming in the background, while Misa sits in her chair, reading a book, content, glad to be home.

And then, it changed. The horror reverberates in her skull as the pulse hits the back of her throat.

Misa screams as she sits up in the bunk. Her dreams... the dreams followed her here and she wants to make them stop.

Kaiba doesn't seem to get much sleep around here. He's in one of the rooms next door, curled up on his bunk wishing to fall asleep when the piercing noise startles him.

There could be danger. He throws his hoodie over his pajamas and moves to the door in question---and unfortunately he can't get in without a ticket, so he has to knock, other fist clenched and ready just in case.

Eva is a kind soul and lets him in and then goes to settle Princess, but Misa is sitting on her bottom bunk, shaking. She's wrapped herself into the tiniest ball against the back of her bunk and is softly crying. She doesn't know what happened in that dream. Some sort of planetary explosion. She can't... she can't let that happen, but she doesn't know how to make it stop.

She never knows how to make it stop. She wants to make it stop!

She doesn't look up from having her face buried in her knees, though she knows there's someone else in the room now.

Kaiba carefully crouches to her level, keeping a respectful distance. He doesn't know her well, it isn't really his place...but his heart hurts for the girl.

"Whatever you saw in your nightmare isn't here now," he says, his voice uncharacteristically soft. "You're safe on the train. There's a whole team here who will look after you."

[sensitiveapple]

She sniffles, not looking up at him. she'll be splotchy and that just won't do for even a courtesan-in-training. The Mistress would be quite cross with her right now. "Not yet." She says, softly. "But it will be."

That much she knows. She knows that, eventually, it'll be like when the Empire destroyed Alderaan. Not that she knows much about that, save for what she reads in the history books, but she can only imagine.... If she's around to see this happen, she doubts she'll survive with her sanity intact.

"You see visions of the future?"

Kaiba thinks back on Ishizu and her visions, remembering his destruction of them fondly. But he can still be calm in the face of a distressed child.

"Let's start with what you saw."

[sensitiveapple]

She shakes her head. "Not visions, dreams." She admits, using her hand to wipe her tears away. "And they always come true." Which sucks, really and she hates it. She wishes that they would not do that, but it's the one thing she's never been able to make happen.

"I saw... a planet. I didn't recognize it." She begins. "There was this... this... pressure? And the planet rippled. Not like an earthquake, but something unnatural." She takes a shuddering breath. Tears trace down her face. "Then a light. Red, bright. It kept getting brighter and brighter. Then... terror. Mind numbing terror."

[blue_ice]

"Always?"

Kaiba frowns at that. "So you think that's a planet we're going to go to? Or somewhere from your home?"

[sensitiveapple]

She nods into her knees. Always and she hates it.

"No, not from home." She says. "At home, I only know Cantonica. And not even that much of it, just Canto Bight." She says, softly. "It's probably our next mission."

[blue_ice]

"Not promising, I'll admit. But if you can tell the leaders as much as you remember, it might help us prepare. Sounds like it might've been a some kind of pulse attack---but a massive energy source like that would have to be trackable."

He looks at her crumpled form and sighs softly. "Point is...we'll plan the best operation we can. And I've never been one to let visions of the future decide my destiny, so I'm still going to fight it."

"Kaiba-san's right," Eva says as she pokes her head up from where she's finally settled her pokemon. "We'll do our best to ensure your vision doesn't come true."

She means it, too.

[sensitiveapple]

She shakes her head. "I've almost died because a vision came true. I'm tired of it." She's a little bitter. She's only thirteen, and her mind and body are constantly being assaulted, and now, she's here and things are going worse than they had at the house, and she doesn't like it!

She shivers, and then does as her older self will do a lot: she pulls the mental mantle of courtesan and Mistress around her, and forces herself to look at Kaiba. "I'm sorry to have disturbed everyone."

[mtsilver_conquor]

Eva wishes she could say something, anything, that could reassure Misa that she won't die, that whatever she saw won't come to pass. But she can't think of anything and her heart aches for the young psychic. At least, she assumes Misa is a psychic, or someone with psychic like abilities.

"It's fine, really. I've a baby sister about your age, so... I'm used to this." She offers an honest smile, eyes flickering in concern at the shiver- and she needs to offer. "I know you likely don't need it, but if you'd like, you can hold or pat Princess. Or he can sleep on the end of your bed."

She doesn't mind really, and if the young lady doesn't want it, then that's fine too.
