“ EXAAACTLY .ᐟ ”

the monster nods .

“ mmmhm, that's what i THOUGHT, missy . ” 👺

the ground beneath evelyn starts to crack .

“ ...

...

... too bad i don't got tape .ᐟ GAHAHAHA ── ”

... 💀 .

“ ... ugh, THAT explains why it was so hard to get in here . you never sleep .ᐟ ”

he blinks .

“ no, i don't WANNA hear anything about some gatsby the great ── start yappin', and i'll bring back the furious one .ᐟ.ᐟ ” 👺

“ that is EXACTLY what i meant .ᐟ

...

... why do you sound so proud of that .ᐣ ” 👺

“ hm, noted . it should be scarier next time . ”

he shakes his head .

“ sorry, but it doesn't go away .ᐟ ”

tapping his chin, a grin grows .

“ y'know something, missy .ᐣ you're gonna be stuck with me for a LOOONG time, unless somebody from your world comes to your rescue .ᐟ ”

alliance with .ᐟ oh, my lawyer was RIGHT when he said i shouldn't trust her .ᐟ she totally BLEW it, we were gonna feed on your nightmares together .ᐟ ” 👺

with a huff, the monster crosses his arms . 😡 .

“ ... HAHAHA .ᐟ that's fine . it's still negative energy, after all .ᐟ ”

“ krang ” twists around and slips out of her grasp . he quickly changes appearances ── he's now a pale blue skinned man - like monster with a striped shirt .

“ i am A dream entity, but not the same one that just tried to attack you, girlie .ᐟ that was another monster that i tried to make an

( + )

krang stares at her for a moment before responding ── in a voice not of his own .

“ i'll give ya ONE guess, little lady . ” 👺

🧠 : “ that's right, that wasn't shredder . rather, a creature that feeds off the negative energy from nightmares ── ”

he grumbles something under his breath ── only one word can be made out, just because of how loud he accidentally said it : ' betrayed ' .

( + )

the brain doesn't seem afraid of the situation at all ── with a snap of his body's fingers, “ shredder ” suddenly dissipates .

🧠 : “ i believe you, i believe you . in fact, i've believed you this whole time ... so has she . kind of . ”

krang, speaking in some sort of unknown language, communicates with “ shredder ” . she looks absolutely FURIOUS ── it eventually gets to the point where she attempts to attack krang .

( + )

shredder ── or at least, whatever appears to be her ── lets out an inhumane growl when evelyn breaks free .

krang grumbles something under his breath, then nods .

🧠 : “ yes, i see it . ”

⚔️ : “ thank you . ”

she turns around and places a hand on evelyn's arm gently .

...

...

... her grip suddenly grows TlGHT, and shredder attempts to throw the mezillian at a wall .

krang squints ─ he suddenly seems to be noticing everything that's happening . the brain looks almost ... angered .

( + )

don't embarrass us, it's not often that i can go somewhere and not have someone screaming because i'm a brain in a guy's stomach .ᐟ ”

nothing odd appears to be happening with krang for the time being, at least . 👺 .

⚔️ : “ evelyn, i seriously don't get why you're acting like this . we're just getting coffee .ᐟ ”

shredder's nails strangely appear to be growing with every word she speaks ── as it stands now, they look like claws .

🧠 : “ yes, just coffee .ᐟ those EYES are the workers .ᐟ

( + )

shredder lets out a huff .

⚔️ : “ evelyn, we're in a CAFÉ, for crying out loud . they simply want your order .ᐟ ”

that shit does NOT look like a café ... 💀 .

the eyes continue to just stare, unblinking as ever .

shredder and krang still appear to be clueless ── they just look at evelyn like she's lost her mind .

the eyes don't reply, they simply keep on staring ... they do not blink .

( + )

there's even eyes watching them from all around in the shadows .

⚔️ : “ is that so .ᐣ ”

the two villains exchange looks again .

⚔️ : “ you REALLY need to sleep properly, you know . ”

after shredder finishes speaking, the landscape seems to change before her eyes ── instead of a flowery field, there's bones and green fire everywhere .

( + )

⚔️ : “ that's an ordinary flower, evelyn . i don't see how THAT'S going to frighten you in any way . ”

the two exchange glances and shake their heads .

🧠 : “ no, we don't . in fact, you sound crazy . ”

the scary ass flower suddenly disappears .ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ 👺

( + )

krang stomps over to the duo, right past the flower ── it seems he can't see it, either .

⚔️ : “ you have not been . ” 👺

the flower PULLS itself up and out of the ground ── its .... very disgusting and awful looking roots are serving as its legs .

shredder still doesn't seem to notice any of it, tilting her head .

⚔️ : “ who is sir william ... .ᐣ ”

( + )

⚔️ : “ i doubt it, i am the ninja here after all .ᐟ ”

shredder laughs, then rises an eyebrow ── the scary flower ... thing ROARS at her . 👺

⚔️ : “ why are you talking to an ordinary flower .ᐣ ”

... she doesn't see it .ᐣ

topaz

yes

⚔️ : “ i enjoy being unpredictable, what can i say .ᐣ ”

she starts laughing ── one of the flowers in the background has mysteriously grown a face out of nowhere .

.... a frightening face, at that . it has sharp, needIy teeth and pitch black eyes ── a forked tongue sticks out of its mouth .

topaz

yes . 👺

it does truly seem happy ── at the moment . until a particular 👺 MONSTER 👺 decides that her guard is down enough for him to start messing things up .

⚔️ : “ haha .ᐟ well, it was about time to shake things up a bit, was it not .ᐣ ” ✨️

topaz

GRHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJJAJAHAHAHAHAHA 👺 / evil

topaz

yes .

[ @xofredrosesx.bsky.social . ]

in her dream, a particular ninja is running up to evelyn and launching herself at her ── the atmosphere has just the SLIGHTEST, almost unnoticeable, tinge of unease, unusual of a dream of this nature . 👺

topaz

i should mention that most, if not all, of his interactions will take place in one of the other persons' dreams 👺👺👺 he can't come to the real world unless he switches places with someone else
