Decapitated Bestie

"I think we're in my friend's. I was talking to him before I saw you. Tatsuki, that's his name, woke up ten minutes ago. Or was it twenty? Time's hard to tell!" She said.

"You're really short." Osage suddenly stated, and hovered a hand over the other girl's head. She drew it back quickly with a bigger smile.

"This Tatsuki person sounds really nice, I’m guessing he’s very close to you? It must be nice…"

Of course, there was someone that Sabitsuki was friends with in the .Flow. but, she was very far away and the Rust usually kept her from making the long trek to where she was.

"Yes, I would like for you to stay, but I won’t force you. If you want to leave, you may. I wasn’t really planning much today, I was thinking on going to the sewers to see if The Sugar Hole is still open there."

"I remember some of the things we did in the real world, before he started dreaming and stopped leaving his room. Like playing card games and hanging out on the swings in our favorite playground. That happened more when we were younger though. I don’t really remember much." Osage fiddled with her green neckerchief before smiling and speaking up once again.

“Of course I would like to stay! I mean, I would prefer being with Tatsuki in his dreams of course, but you seem really nice! What’s the Sugar Hole? Are they any sweets in there? You know, because of ‘sugar’. I really like desserts! Like strawberry cake.”

She pulled her hood so Osage couldn’t see her face, still embarrassed.

"Y-You know about the effects? Color me surprised. I have no clue about how you got here either. I didn’t even know other people could come into my .Flow, it’s supposed to be mine and mine only, unfortunately."

She opened the hood a little, and looked at her with a smile on her face.

"Although, you’d probably be safer in your friends dream, but I’m not complaining. I’ll always welcome some company. I’m doing well, the effects have gone down in the past few days, so I have been able to explore some more of my dreams safely."

Osage paused, looking a little upset. She didn’t like being alone in the dream world. It was boring, there was no one to talk to, and some areas in his dreams were a little… weird. She quickly forced a smile on her face so Sabitsuki wouldn’t question her about the sudden sadness.

[Well the crowd was at least smaller than the last crowd and the dreamer spoke.]

Despite Osage technically being lost, she had a bright smile on her face and looked at the colorful objects around her with great interest.

There might be something new in the sewer today, maybe the rust has taken over that area, it could be dangerous.

At the touch of the person, Sabitsuki jumped forward immediately.

(Pipe effect: Equipped)

And, with that she turned around, pipe in hand, in an aggressive stance. 

"Who’re you! How did you get here." 

Now, she wasn’t Angry-angry, she just uses anger as a defense to being scared. Upon seeing it wasn’t a monster, but a semi-normal person, she immediately started blushing, relaxing herself,  she laid the pipe across her shoulder.

" S-Sorry… You startled me…" 

Man, this is embarrassing…

"M-My name’s Sabitsuki."

Upon seeing the girl embarrassed, Osage stopped feeling nervous. She clapped her hands together eagerly.

"That's fine, that's fine! That pipe looks like a effect. You're... another dreamer? Just like my friend Tatsuki!" Osage giggled and beamed down at Sabitsuki.

"I'm Osage." She repeated.

"I don't really know how I came here, I should be in Tatsuki's dreams right now. But I guess this isn't all bad. I thought I wouldn't find anyone in here but now I met you! How are you doing, Sabitsuki?"

 Kizami shrugged. “…well, technically, I, too, am dead…. just a different kind of dead, in a sense. #It is a little complicated, you see.”

And he wouldn’t explain it to her; he already was getting impatient with the girl. She had to ask questions, didn’t she? Why not just accept that there were dead people and that was it.

Kizami really confused Osage, how can you be dead and still be be breathing and walking like an alive person? That was supposed to be impossible. He didn’t try to explain it for her either. Did he expect her to already know what he was talking about? Maybe some people in the real world were like this though, she will ask her friend next time she sees him.

“We are kinda similar! For me technically I should be dead.” Whenever she goes 'insane', her head disappears, people can't survive with their heads off.

A pause. Should he tell her? She came here, so it was more than likely she’d run into death no matter what happened. Even if he didn’t say it right now, eventually they would walk into a dead body.

"They all died, as far as I can tell. Unfortunate…." His shoulders moved up a little. "Hm…. Strange things have been happening here, you see. I’ll get used to it."

Osage’s smile disappeared and she furrowed her eyebrows. People died in here? How did that happen? This place seemed fairly harmless. Then again, it’s not so good to judge things and people based on first impressions. At least Tatsuki wasn’t here with her, if he died, she would disappear. Maybe if she ‘died’ in this place, she would go back to his dreams.

"That’s weird, how is it that you are the only one that survived? How many people came with you?"

Osage’s smile was back on her face when he said she was good company. It was nice to hear that.
