[IC] Lost in Dreams [Elijah]
Elijah Wilder usually had trouble going to sleep, not trouble waking up. Yet his dreams wound on and on ... First he dreamed about a human sacrifice by a bunch of half-naked savages, imploring a volcano god for aid. The victim was thrown into the cold caldera, breaking both her legs as she fell.
The he dreamed of a raging ocean and storm, with massive sea creatures moving around, and a giant lizard washing up on the beach. Then he dreamed of lots of small creatures running through a jungle, fleeing from some great terror. It was worse than unknowable, it was a known terror, a present one, one meant to destroy and consume the creatures. The dreams went on and on, and Elijah could not wake up.... When he finally did wake up it was under a broad fern. He was in a jungle, stark naked, and sitting in a puddle. The rain was falling, or at least he could hear pattering on the leaves above him, streams of water ran by him. It was about then he spotted the spider: 2 feet across, all hair and legs, and about 6 feet way, climbing down a tree.

Re: Lost in Dreams [Elijah]
Elijah's eyes slowly open, and the day greets him with a rain drop to the eye. Blinking the water from his eyes, he sits up, and looks around. Where the hell am I? His senses filled with the plethora of sounds, sights, and smells of the jungle, it takes him a moment to realize that he is naked, and sitting in a muddy puddle. Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he looks around again, and this time his eyes alight upon an enormous spider. Still stunned by his surroundings, he freezes for just a moment, than scrambles to his feet, and makes to run the opposite direction, screaming incoherently. I hope that's not a jumping spider, he thinks as he takes off.
(He'll be hell bent for leather away from the spider, unless there's one behind him too. Running as fast as he safely can through the jungle.) Last edited by Talosian; 02-23-2013 at 09:09 PM. |

Re: Lost in Dreams [Elijah]
Elijah runs from the spider, leaping through the undergrowth, until his foot sinks into deep mud: a large flat river winding lazily through the forest. Thats when he gets a glimpse of the huge beast in it: a dinosaur.
The long neck sticks out of the river, and it reaches to the jungle vegetation growing on either side of the bank. Behind it are two smaller creatures of the same kind, swimming towards the near shore about 100 yards down the bank.

Re: Lost in Dreams [Elijah]
Elijah's jaw drops at the sight before him. Numb with shock, he attempts to step backwards, and falls backwards, landing in the mud with a splash. (Presuming his foot isn't totally stuck): He scoots himself back a few feet in the mud, and scrambles to his feet. He stares dumbfounded at the dinosaurs for a moment, hoping desperately that they aren't dangerous.
(If anything startles him, or if something looks dangerous, he'll take off upstream along the bank. Otherwise he's just going to stand there with a dumb look on his face.) |

Re: Lost in Dreams [Elijah]
Elijah stands there for quite some time, viewing the massive creatures. It was a ... "diplodocus?" It was kind of fuzzy in his mind. There are so many different kinds, though some are iconic.
As he stands there, realizations slowly trickle through his brain. There are no birds in the sky, only pterosaurs. The plants don't look familiar at all, dominated by ferns. The DragonFlies out on the river are enormous, over 3 feet across. The site is both awesome and alien.

Re: Lost in Dreams [Elijah]
"What the f**k?" This has got to be a dream. Still in shock, Elijah stares around slowly, taking in his surroundings. Remembering the spider, he checks behind him, then looks around for a place where he can get a better view.
