[mingle] what's the dream and what's the reality?

[lovetheme]

Lately the castle's nights have been very clear and almost warm, even up so high among the clouds as they are. But regardless of the weather, they are generally peaceful nights, and few things seem to stir during them...apart from the castle's inhabitants, be it with late-night roving or with sleep. The dreams, by extension, are at least undisturbed...if maybe not always pleasant. That sort of thing tends to vary by the person, of course.

But now--and for several nights, consecutively--the castle residents may find their dreams starting to take on stranger shapes: memories they've never had, friends that don't usually arrive, strangers they've never seen. These odd impressions might cling and continue to confuse even upon waking, vivid as they were; was it really just a dream, or maybe something more...? Does that newcomer in your dream remember you there too, in the daytime?

Either way, there seems to be an strange energy in the air during these nights. And it's bringing dreams together.

A - I wish to say that Uriel may intend violence but I don't. XD;

Uriel has never seen this skyline before, but she has seen one like it-- a century ago, before Earth was ruled by demons.

Normally she'd be confused as to where 100 years of damage went, but this is a dream, and when an enormous bat-like creature flies past-- well, her mind fills in the blanks.

With a cry the angel summons her sword and takes off after the "demon".

The Batman sharply turns his head to look up and responds to Uriel's cry with a warning shriek of his own. It comes out strange and echo-like.

He doesn't bring out a weapon of his own, preferring to swoop around a corner of the building and lead his new opponent deeper into the city. It's his territory, after all, and nobody knows the ins and outs of the Gotham skyline better than he does.

Uriel feels no temptation to heed his warning, and follows him around the corner only too willingly. She has a very low opinion of demons and their intelligence, and it's only a matter of time before she can catch up with this one and make short work of it.

The Batman twists and turns his way through the skyscrapers, occasionally swooping far down or far up. It doesn't take a genius to figure out he's trying to shake her off.

As he flies deeper into the city, the skyscrapers and other buildings get more and more decrepit. Eventually, he spies one that looks like it was abandoned half-way through construction, leaving just a maze of old steel beams and wooden platforms. The area inside looks a little confined, but nevertheless he flies into the web.

Let's see who the more agile flyer is.
