Nightmare Lovers~
Introduction
Name: Licht
age: 17
personality: kind, loves he's parents but he's adopted which he doesn't know.
he's a cutie whose childhood was always a blur for some reason. No matter how hard he try, he can never quite remember it.
Name: Antonio
age: 18
personality: The self-asserted leader. Antonio comes off as cold and bossy. Always the voice of reason, the medical student has low tolerance for nonsense. But, perhaps there is a softer side to him? What could he be hiding under that gruff exterior?
Name: Devin
age: 19
personality: Always the life of the party (even in life or death situations), Devin is lighthearted and constantly cracking jokes. Everything feels a whole lot better with him around. But he sure does have a way of getting under Antonio’s skin for some reason. Could someone that cheerful and optimistic be harboring dark secrets?
Name: Subaru
age: 16
personality: calm and calculating Subaru seems distant and withdrawn. His distinctive red and blue heterochromia has you inexplicably enchanted, yet he seems to be ashamed of his red eye for some reason. Could he be hiding something?

Licht
*I wave goodbye as Anna crosses the intersection. we've been friends since the start of my university classes*
Licht
*after graduation high school, most of my old buddies moved far away for University*
Licht
*we talk a lot online, but...*
Licht
*it makes me feel lonely sometimes*
Licht
*i walk towards home, thinking back to my childhood*
Licht
*I don't remember any of my friends from back then*
Licht
*My memory's a blur*
Licht
*All i get is the feeling that something's missing. I can't recall much. or anything at all really much. or anything at all really.*
Licht
*I don't have any memories of when I was a child.*
Licht
*Did i have friends? Did i have hobbies? Did I get a bunch of toys like other kids?*
Licht
*sometimes I find myself thinking about this and feel an indescribable emptiness*
Licht
something smells good!
Licht's dad
your mom's making curry
Licht's mom
I filled up the bathtub for you, so clean up before dinner.
Licht
*I feel empty from time to time*
Licht
*whenever i see my parents...*
Licht's mom
dinner's ready!
after Licht's parents go to bed, he stay behind in the living room
Licht
(lightly slap his face with both hands to keep himself awake)
Licht
You can't fall asleep now licht
Licht
You've waited hole week for this new episode!
Licht
(climb onto the couch, snuggling himself in one corner as he watch the tv commercial run)
Licht
(slowly, I feel my eyelids getting heavy)
Licht
(blink my eyes hard, then open them as wide as I can)
Licht
*I need to know what happens next*
but the television starts to distort, the images askew on the screen
from out of nowhere, the ringing of bells seems to echo in his ears
Licht
*vision goes hazy, and all I can see is bright light*
Licht
*I don't want to fell asleep yet...*
Despite his efforts to fight it, he feel himself gradually dozing off
And before he know, he's fast asleep
Licht
(eyelids drift shut)
Licht
*huh where am i and why is it so dark here*
Licht
(my breath catches in my throat and an uneasy feeling begins bubbling in my stomach)
Licht
*something's not right*
Licht
(taking deep breaths, it takes every bit of my willpower to keep myself form panicking)
Licht
where the heck am I?
Licht
*I don't know but somehow this room feels familiar*
Licht
*I fall asleep in the room... didn't I?*
Licht
(look around in the room)
In a dark room there is a figure of a young man lying down next to him
Licht
*what in the world?*
Licht
(take a closer look)
the young man is sleeping peacefully.
Licht
(try calling out to him but he doesn't respond)
Licht
*well that didn't work*
Licht
*guess i should leave him alone*
he try to get up but hear a sound
Licht
(sit up and face him)
Licht
Um...do you know where we are? I suddenly woke up in this place and...
Licht
*his eyes! one is blue and the other red.*
Licht
your eyes are so beautiful
Subaru
(cover hie face with his hands)
Licht
*did I say something to offend him?*
Antonio
Man, you're so damm loud
Antonio
The hell are you being noise for, huh
out of the blue, a very loud yown echoes in the room
In the corner, someone stretches up with his mouth with his mouth wide open
Devin
hmmmm? it's still dark.
Devin
Can we go back to sleep?
Devin
who are you people?!
A young woman freaks out as the commotion forces her awake
Five complete stranger , All taken to one strange room
Licht
*something feel off about this*
Antonio
Hey, hey, calm down
Antonio
I think we're all in the same boat here
Antonio
But why are we here?
Fleur
I can't be here, I have a date tomorrow!
Antonio
Everybody, settle down
Antonio
does anyone have any idea where we are?
Devin
jeez, why are you starting with that?
Devin
shouldn't we get to know each other first?
Licht
*That's nice he's trying to make everyone at ease*
Eventually, the tension in the room subsides
Devin
oh, nice to meet you, licht!
Fleur
I'm a fashion designing student, and I have a really cool boyfriend!
Fleur
Ahh, I miss him right now
Licht
*there's something childlike about Fleur's charm*
Licht
*it's kinda adorable*
Licht
*he's pretty bossy, but not very talkative...*
Antonio
*why is he staring at me*
Antonio
The sooner you talk, the faster we acn start planning things out
Licht
(I meant what I said. His eyes really are beautiful)
Licht
(Ther is something awfully familiar about that red eye of his)
Licht
(I try to reach back into my memories, but i have no recollection of ever meeting him)
Licht
(Is it just my imagination?)
Devin
So now that we know eachother, isn't it a bit less scary?
Licht
(the atmosphere was really tense earlier)
Licht
(I'm glad someone like devin is here to light up the mood)
Antonio
Right, now that we've introduce ourselves, let's try to figure out where we are, and why
Antonio
Everyone gather round
Antonio
has anyone ever been here before?
Licht
(noting seems too out of the ordinary, but...)
Licht
(I've got this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach)
Licht
(should I mention it?)
Fleur
Me neither, this place is too creepy for my taste
Subaru
I've also never been here
Licht
I guess that's not very useful information, is it?
Antonio
Could you tell me the last thing you did before coming here
Fleur
I was snuggling with my boyfriend
Fleur
It was very warm and cozy
Fleur
*cups her chin, blushing*
Fleur
hehe! this is so embarrassing
Fleur
we were on the couch and-
Devin
I remember browsing the internet while getting ready to sleep
Licht
(yeah, that's sounds pretty normal)
Licht
(My night was the same way, but i was determined to watch that tv show but i felt drowsy)
Licht
I was on the couch waiting for the latest episode of my favourite tv series
Licht
it was aris ten, which is unusually past my bedtime
Devin
Hmm, now that you mention it, it was around the same time for me too
Licht
(Ah, that could be a hint)
Subaru
something was ringing
Licht
yes! i felt that too!
Devin
Right. it was a bit painful to be honest.
Licht
(when the bell chimed ten i was suddenly overcome with drowsiness)
Antonio
How about you, Fleur?
Fleur
Hmm... I don't really remember, but maybe?
Fleur
I was sitting with my boyfriend-
Antonio
enough about your boyfriend
Fleur
*pouts, glaring daggers at Antonio*
Licht
(haha she seems pretty obsessed with him)
Devin
you semple don't know the sensibility of a woman in love Antonio
Antonio
I don't need to know, that's not relevant here
Licht
(Antonio and devin seem like they know each other pretty well. Either that or devin teases everybody)
Antonio
okay so we've pinpointed three things about this situation
Antonio
First, none of us have been here before
Antonio
second, we all felt sleepy at around ten at night.
Antonio
Third, we all experienced tinnitus
Subaru
it's a medical term for the for the ringing we heard in our ears
Devin
ohh! that sounds smart
Antonio
Not exactly. I'm still a med student
Devin
what about you? what were you doing?
Devin
whaaaat? that's boring
Devin
who studies on the Friday night?
Fleur
Friday nights are supposed to be for fun
Devin
parting with friends drinking booze, getting wasted
Licht
(at least we're all getting along just fine)
Antonio
If you have time for idle chatter, then you have time to give insight about this situation
Licht
(they haven't noticed?)
Licht
we came here at a certain time, right?
Licht
but there aren't any clock here
Licht
after we sit together, i looked around and that's one thing i notice
there eyes scan the whole room
Devin
I've been wondering what time is it was. but i always forget to ask
Subaru
does anyone have a watch?
Antonio immediately put his hand forward
Antonio
right lets take a look
Licht
oh no, now we have absolutely no sense of time
Devin
I'm trying to make sense of this
Devin
we all came here after we fell asleep, but is this a dream?
Devin
or are we in a different universe?
Licht
A different universe?
Devin
Time is constructed. it's physically impossible to freeze, given the lows of physics on earth
Devin
The only way we can stop time theoretically, is to be in a place where the scientific lows allow it
Devin
but the lack of clocks doesn't necessarily mean time has stopped
Devin
it could be mean time is still running, we just don't know how quickly
Antonio
that's the most sensible thing you've said since we woke up
Devin
hey, i may not be a diligent as you, but i know my way around science
Antonio
you're on to something, but...
Antonio
i was gonna say that
Subaru
Traveling to a different dimension would require deliberate effort
Antonio
but we didn't do anything
Devin
right we need to create a rift in space and go through it like a portal
Licht
well I'm not exactly the top student in my physics class
Licht
Tearing through and bending time isn't my speciality
Devin
your funny! haha, i like that!
Fleur
wait, so you're saying we're on earth but not on earth?
Fleur
I just wanna go home!
Antonio
This is likely to be a dream.
out of the blue, a little girls laugh fills the room
Indescribable terror overtakes there bodys , freezing them in place
The echo of a little girl's giggle grows louder and louder
Fleur
i don't like this anymore
fleur clings to devin for comfort
the laughter grows even louder
everyone stares motionless at the door
suddenly, the door creaks
A little girl with pink hair stands front of the door
Things get even more freaky as she approaches them with an unaltered smile
Devin
Oh boy, this is started to creep me out
As the door opens, the little girl's laughter grows even louder
girl
Ehehee! Do you want to came?
Licht
(wh-what is going on)
Fleur
maybe she wants us to follow her?
fleur slowly lets go of devin arm, looking intently at the little girl in front of her
fleur eyes look somewhat vacant
Fleur
do you know where we are?
the girl smile and then turns away to leave
Fleur
before anyone can stop her, fleur gets up and runs to the door
Licht
(she really shouldn't go running off on her own)
Monster
out of nowhere,they hear a shrill cry of fright
Licht
*get to his feet, but Devin catches his hand*
Devin
let's not do anything rash
Antonio
we have no idea what we are dealing with at the moment...
Antonio
the best thing we can do right now is stick together
Licht
(he's right, nothing good will come from me trying to go alone)
Licht
(I need to calm down and get a hold of my self)
Devin
*let go of licht's hand*
Antonio
we all come here scared and confuse, so let's do what we can for each other
Licht
(wow...I didn't think Antonio knew how to be encouraging)
Licht
I just hope she's alright
Antonio
right,let's head out and investigate
Antonio
take what you can to protect yourself
Antonio
or something you can use as a weapon
they make their way outside
Devin
what am gonna do with this book, whack someone on the head with knowledge?
Antonio
In that case, you should use it on yourself, too
Licht
Subaru, are you alright?
Subaru
*holding a plunger*
Antonio
everyone stay close
they walk through the darkness
and suddenly they hear a sound
there they see a terrifying hideous monster
monster
Mommy...I'm hungry...
monster
Help me, mommy I'm hungry
the monster moves and reveal fleur bloodied body
Licht
(fleur's...dead? just a moment ago she was going on about her boyfriend, and now she's..)
the sound of the monster's teeth munching and grinding echoed through the hallway
suddenly, a strange mist appears next to the body, and a little girl materialise from the mist
*smiles happily as she rushes into a man's arm*
Father
fleur! how's my little girl?
Licht
fleur? what the heck is going on?
Licht
*turn to look at Antonio*
Antonio
does this mean that these were fleur's memories all this time?
fleur and her dad are smiling happily
Licht
Are we being shown her memories?
Antonio
hmmm..maybe but now...
Antonio
*glares at the monster*
Subaru
we should get out of here
Antonio
hey, that's my line! lets go!
Licht
*legs won't stop shaking*
Licht
(oh, come on! run licht run!)
Antonio
what are you doing?! we gotta get outta here!
Licht
(why is this happening?)
Licht
*start to follow them*
Antonio
*stretch out his hand for him*
Right after he reach out to take Ray's hand...
