I12 -- Sweet Dreams are Made of This

[Chloe Grant]

"Tell me!" Chloe said, running towards him

[Elena Rousseau]

"I don't think..." Elena said, looking uncertain.

[Trini Thompson]

"And who would YOU be, little man."

[Prosopon]

Something in the shadows stirs and a rush of movement scurries out of one door and into another between Chloe and the other two.

"I am many. I can help you find your feathers if you can bring me what was taken from me."

A pale face moves out of the darkness though it feels there's a much larger body looming out of sight.

[Trini Thompson]

"I'm thinking if you keep hiding in the darkness, you'll get very few places in life, youngling."

[Prosopon]

"What's this then?" the creature says and shoots forward, massive centipede body rushing past Chloe to stop inches from Raven in the blink of an eye. "It wears the Raven's coat but it's not her." A ring of bug-legs extending from around the thing's mask-like face twitch as if they're about to latch onto Raven.

[Trini Thompson]

"On the contrary, I have taken the mantle of the Raven for my own. And you would do well to show some respect."

[Prosopon]

"Bold little thing, aren't you." the thing says, coiling around Raven with skittering legs while keeping it's head turned towards her.

[Trini Thompson]

"Only as bold as I deserve," she said, confidently.

[Prosopon]

The mask 'blinks' like a giant eye, the face of an old man taking it's place. Then it swivels around towards Elena.

"And you... Who would you be? Or did you merely get swept along by someone donning a coat they don't understand?"

[Elena Rousseau]

Elena appeared to be on the verge of losing it as the centipede thing had made itself visible. The most she could manage was a muttered "No..."

[Chloe Grant]

"What did they take?" Chloe asked boldly "Tell me and I'll find it for you."

[Prosopon]

"Ooh, would you? It's one of my faces... It's nearby..."

[Elena Rousseau]

"I don think this is a good idea..." Elena's form began to fade as her mind tried to force her to wake up.

[Prosopon]

"Leaving so soon? Didn't you hear, you have the Raven here to protect you."

[Trini Thompson]

"I'm surprised more haven't flocked to me."
