This Is Mine Now - First Person

[It was the third time that Lyle had circled the area where he first spotted the car, taking several days to do it. Yep, it was definitely the car that he thought it was, as he walked up and looked at the license plate. He stopped for a long moment, looking up and down the street as though expecting someone to suddenly come around the corner.

In a way, he was, but when that person didn't make an appearance and no one else seemed to as well in this quiet stretch of street, Lyle went into action, pulling out a lock jimmy from his trench coat. It didn't take long for him to actually get it open, opening the door and sitting down in the car. He immediately rifled through the glove box; the name on the registration said "Neil Dylandy"]

Jackpot.

[He continued to search the car for a few a moments, finally discovering under one of the seats a set of keys]

Good luck getting this back.

Text later after seeing the dream- @givesyouhell

[hititwithacrowbar]

Hey, this is Jason, the guy from the floor six meeting. You got a minute?

Text

[holds_up_walls]

Yeah, I got a minute. Where do you want to meet?

[hititwithacrowbar]

How about out front, I could use a smoke.

Text -> Action

[holds_up_walls]

Works for me. I could use one too.

[And Lyle heads down stairs with his pack of cigarettes, stepping outside and looking to see if Jason had beat him there. He did live on a lower floor as after all]

Action

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Lyle would beat him without a doubt. Jason his way outside with an energy drink in one hand and a cigarette already between his lips but unlit.

He looked half dead, he was tired of this dream nonsense. Ready for his normal night terrors back.]

So, is it Neil or Lyle?

[ He asked through the cigarette feeling through his pockets before realizing he forgot his lighter. ]

Got a light?

Action

[holds_up_walls]

Me? I'm Lyle.

[He has a feeling this has to do with one of the weird dreams that has been happening recently]

Yeah, I got one.

[He pulled his lighter out of his pocket, lighting it up and holding it out to Jason before lighting his own cigarette]

Action

[hititwithacrowbar]

Thought that was the name you'd introduced yourself to me with.

[ He spoke as he lit up and took a drag before leaning back against a wall.]

So, Neil owned a nice car I take it, well Lyle owns it now.

[ Despite his wording he didn't sound like he was looking for an argument just piecing a puzzle together.]

Action

[holds_up_walls]

I certainly hope that's what I would have told you.

[He took a drag off his cigarette as well]

That's exactly it. He had this car for the longest time. It made appearance when he was around, but I never saw him with it. Then... it was just sitting there for a while. So I took it.

[Little did he know the reason it was sitting there was because he was gone]

Action

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Jason couldn't help the amused chuckle that escaped his lips as he took another drag.]

Fuck, that's funny as shit man. And hell, if it's just sitting and its your brother's why not? You'll have to let me see it one day.

[ He added amused. He'd never met Neil so he had no idea the man was gone, but they were in the same boat on that, Jason didn't know his youngest brother was now gone.]

Action

[holds_up_walls]

[Lyle grinned, glad that someone was amused by him taking the car]

Not like anyone could tell us apart anyway. It worked out for me. It was just sitting there rusting so I decided to do him a favor. Who knows, may I'll be able to. Seems this like place likes to give people stuff randomly.

[hititwithacrowbar]

It gave me my bike from back home, maybe it will. Still, that's funny as hell. I think you and I are going to get along just fine, Lyle.

[ he let out a puff of smoke then.]

Beside's I don't know anyone else here that smokes, so looks like we just found some common ground.

Mech For The Win, action

[relieable]

[dreams can be all kinds of things. what they are normally are, are responses to your daily life, ways for your brain to process things you've seen in the real world.

perhaps that is why Osomatsu's had this dream. and, let me tell you, it's one of the coolest dreams he's ever had. it's like he's watching a kickass movie, of his buddy Lyle piloting a large robot. Osomatsu sees bits and pieces of the same dream a couple nights in a row, but it's only the third night where he sees it in full, standing off to the side in a dreamscape so that he can watch the events unfold.

he's not alone, either, but he doesn't realize that yet.

he presses his hands against the invisible wall, staring hard at the... well, it's like a movie screen? except that it's all around him. he can't interact with the Lyle in the pilot seat, but that's fine. he doesn't need to.

after the brief dream comes to an end, Osomatsu utters an impressed] Cool...! [he's had a couple giant robot dreams in his life, but they were never this vivid]

[holds_up_walls]

[No, he wasn't alone. Lyle was seeing it too. He was reliving that memory from when he was piloting Zabanya against the aliens, except this time he was watching himself doing it. Wow, talk about an out of body experience.

But when it came to an end, he hear the faint utterance of "cool" and turned to look]

Osomatsu?

[relieable]

[hm? Osomatsu lifts his head, turning it over his shoulder to look at who was adressing him. ah, hey! just the guy he wanted to see!

he turns around fully to face Lyle] Lyle! That was you, right? And your robot?

[holds_up_walls]

[Yep, it really was Osomatsu, considering he responded to the name. Of course the conversation naturally turned to the dream and the Gundam]

Yeah, that was me and that was my Gundam Zabanya, the most recent one I've had.

[relieable]

[hey, it was a dream, so it could have been anyone piloting, really... or, wait. it wasn't actually a dream, but a memory. but Osomatsu hasn't quite figured that out, yet]

Man! That was awesome! You were kicking ass in that thing! [it has a name, Osomatsu]

[holds_up_walls]

Yeah, Zabanya is pretty cool. It has to have two haros controlling it because there's so much going on with it. The bit system allows all of those weapons to separate from the Gundam fire independently of it.

[For a dream, he definitely knows a lot about how it works]

[text after car theft]

[vedaandme]

You stole his car.

[Tieria wasn't quite sure how to take that. After all, he had a feeling that memory happened after the fact, and Lyle was Lyle, after all. But... really?]

[text]

[holds_up_walls]

Depends on how you look at it. You say I stole it. I say I prevented a nice car from rusting in the street.

Re: [text]

[vedaandme]

[Someone was not convinced.]

I am surprised someone else did not attempt to steal it first. How long had it been left there?

[Tieria was curious, honestly. He knew the last time it was likely used by Neil. But when had Lyle figured out that Neil had sort of abandoned it?]

[text]

[holds_up_walls]

A while. I made sure it wasn't being moved before I did this. I saw the car in other places and found later that he had been around. So he clearly hadn't used it.

Re: [text]

[vedaandme]

I see.

[That sort of answered his question, at least.]

Have any other of these strange memories and visions come up for you?

[text]

[holds_up_walls]

Strange memories? Such as reliving part of a fight with Zabanya and seeing Anew die over and over? No, not at all.

[Sarcasm]

Lost Love - Shared Dreamscape

[alchemyfreak]

The first thing about the dream that Ed notices is Anew's name. It was familiar, although he hadn't exactly known her well, Ed was aware of everyone coming and going in CB. For all his involvement with the few he was close to there, it was hard not to at least recognize the rest in passing. He remembered Anew, and he realized that this must be a memory of Lyle's between the sound of his voice and the vision of the mobile fighters the group had talked about in Purgatorium. It was never equipped for flying machines so even building them there would have been a wasted effort, but when that many people were together with a common interest it definitely had come up more than once.

He's aware quite suddenly that things are not going as expected when she attacks, but there's little that can be done in a dream of a memory besides witness it. Generally the person whose memory the dream belonged to was along for the ride when it came to these things, but Ed didn't look for Lyle here in the present. Having to relive his own memories in these dreams had been bad enough, turning his attention on Lyle in this moment wouldn't do any good. It wouldn't end the dream any faster, and it wasn't exactly a happy memory for discussion.

"She's not... human." That much was obvious from the words spoken as the fight played out, and although Ed had made plenty of friends who weren't human there was something about this that was oddly familiar. The human appearance, the superiority of not wanting to be compared to a human, there was something conflicting within her. Like a homunculus, it seemed that she wanted to embrace her humanity with Lyle, but being whatever she was stood in the way of that.

His gaze lowers as the battle continues, as if unwilling to watch the rest. Of course Ed couldn't see her being controlled by an outside force, but he was reminded of Lust, Sloth and Wrath. Of their motivations and thought processes, how none of them viewed their existence as a homunculus the same as the others. It's obvious that if this is Lyle's memory he must have survived the encounter, but that didn't make watching it any easier.

[holds_up_walls]

Lyle was definitely nearby. How could he not; this was his dream after all. He'd seen it a few times already but it wasn't any easier the more times he watched it. He knew exactly what was going to happen. This was a memory and it didn't change there was no way to change it.

He heard the voice of Ed nearby. He was close enough that Lyle was able to hear him, but even if he didn't want to watch this anymore, he couldn't look away even to spot Ed.

"No, she wasn't. She was an Innovator but she didn't know it until not long before this. I already knew there was something different about her, but I didn't care. I just wanted her back. And she wanted to come back. Then something else happened. It stopped being her even if she was the one saying it."
