033 ~ [Action/Written]
[ Late Night - House One ]
[It's late at night when the usually peaceful House One will find itself rudely awoken by a scream.]
[Although it wasn't uncommon for Ion to have nightmares, usually he woke up with little more than a gasp. Sometimes he cried out, but never loud enough to disturb the rest of the house. But with the departure of a number of friends from Luceti, it seemed as though whatever control Ion had been holding onto since the draft had disappeared, and the added stress caused the nightmares to return tenfold.]
[Tonight was worse than usual. The scream was followed by a loud crash, like the sound of something being thrown against the wall.]
[The door is unlocked.]

[ Action - Written ]
[Following a very unrestful night, Ion will be trying his best to have a normal day, knowing that taking a nap would only make it more difficult to fall asleep that night. So he starts off his day as he would any other, beginning with a morning jog around the village with Colonel. Of course, given how tired he already is, it probably looks more like Colonel is just dragging him around. And at some point, Colonel is going to notice Ion's fatigue and force him to take a break in the most mature fashion possible.]
[After finally getting Colonel back home, he spends a little time in the library reading, but inevitably that proves to be too relaxing an activity and he winds up falling asleep, book still open. He won't be sleeping too deeply though, and just the sound of someone walking past him will probably startle him back into being awake. Though unless you want to see him fall out of his chair, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to walk up behind him.]
[Once he's back at House One, he spends the rest of the evening relaxing. But even though he's yawning and clearly tired, the light in his room stays on, and Ion won't be going to sleep just yet. And even after it seems like he finally has, sometime around midnight, a written message pops up over the network.]
I realize it's rather late, but does anyone have any experience in dealing with nightmares? Or perhaps, a method of how to prevent them from happening?

No... no, please...!! [He shakes his head more, tears brimming in his eyes as he lifts his arms up as though to defend himself.]
[He can see the cultist moving in on him now, still covered in the blood of its last victim. It laughs cruelly at him, taunting him in his final moments. Surrounded by a mountain corpses, Ion has nowhere else to run.]
Please... I-I don't want to die...
no subject
[But, these are all things she'll push aside for the moment. It's obvious that Ion's in a lot of pain and is really scared, and neither of these is okay with her. The only thing she can do now is try to wake him up, and get him to see that he's safe (even if Luceti isn't somewhere she feels entirely safe, herself). She'll inch forward again, trying not to startle him.]
You aren't going to die, okay? We wouldn't let you die. [Stab. There's that pang of guilt again.]
It's just me. Nothing scary, just me.
[Her voice is starting to shake a bit; she's not really used to having to calm down Ion. For their entire friendship, he'd always been the one who was more composed, and so she's really not sure how to act here. A non-small part of her just wants to run and hug him and beg him to wake up, but if he's this scared right now, that much sudden movement probably wouldn't do him any favors, so she'll continue to approach this the best she can.]
no subject
Stay back... s-stay back, you monster...!
[He raises his hands in front of him, the air around his fingertips starting to glow as he gathers fonons. But a fonic arte being used by someone in their sleep, let alone someone in a state of mind like Ion is now, is dangerous. There's no way he's going to be able to control whatever arte he produces.]
[There's not much time. If she's going to act, she should do so now.]
