Nightmare General

     “I’m only here visiting. It’d be pretty stupid of me to get too involved in stuff here when I’ve got plenty of stuff back home to deal with myself.”

     While that Cheshire smile of his would most certainly send chills down the spines of the faint of heart, NiGHTS isn’t one of those individuals.

“Fascinating. Fascinating indeed. Please refrain from putting ideas into Reala’s head, we do not need him see if it’s possible to escape by slipping into an alternate Dream Dimension. Wizeman would murder little old me repeatedly for his escape.

“Oops, how careless of me. I was not supposed to let that slip. The little bat simply hates when I bring up his desire to flee when he cannot without everyone else suffering.”

A low chuckle. It’s hard to tell if he’s actually sorry.

“Heh, you may be fun to tease but you aren’t my Reala. There’s a limit to how much I aggravate that aren’t my dimension’s. I’m not cruel. Thank you for thinking of me though Reala! I’ll find some Visitor food later.” Anymore anyway. They grinned in amusement though at the thought that the other would’ve hunted for him.

“Psh, I’m not heartless. Sometimes I help other Nightmaren. If I have nothing better to so.” And of course if Wizeman wasn’t watching. Seriously, the ruler had one serious temper and not for the first time Reala found himself wondering if maybe NiGHTS had the right idea...

No. No it was too risky when he refused to dualize and was thus too weak to face Wizeman.

     NiGHTS folds their arms behind their head and crosses one leg over the other.

“Come now~ I may be a few pieces short of complete, but I’m not stupid. The consequences of messing with worlds not of our own can be catastrophic. No need to go breaking the very fabric of time and space.”

He clasps his hands, still grinning wide and in danger of snapping at any moment.

“Nope. I can’t eat them in any manner. The shard will hurt me. I can’t do anything to harm a Visitor or Nightopia.” NiGHTS glanced down their shard as well a bit sadly. They would never trade their position in life for anything but, there were things they wished were different. They missed their Reala.

“Gross. And here I was willing to hunt you one since you’re not being an annoying idiot.” There was no need, in his mind, to get defensive or aggressive at the moment. Wizeman wasn’t watching, so he could chit chat so long as he got the required Ideya at some point.

Well that was new. Blue hues grew wide, dropping briefly to the shard in question. Was that the case for his twin? Maybe not, maybe so. It didn’t stop him from eating even if the connection he had to NiGHTS made stealing Ideya painful.

“... Do you eat Nightopians?”

Reala snorts, not at all amused. Still this is someone not his NiGHTS so he finds himself growing curious.
