D– does she have any idea about its general shape? Or size? Or personhood?

Permalink

Nnn—yes. She has a very vague mental image of something big and yellow with the wrong number of appendages that runs much too fast for its size.

Permalink

Aaand she wants to chase after this why?

Not important. She just really needs to chase after it, so she does as such.

Permalink

Because it's a demon, duh, why else?

She's running through the alleys of—whoever even knows, some city—and it is, of course, night. Damp, cold, misty, the perfect weather for a chase on foot. At least she's fast.

Permalink

It's… a demon? Right. Of course it is.

… How fast is she? She's pretty sure she's not supposed to be this fast.

Permalink

Does it matter? She's just really fast.

And there, she can see the demon every now and then, catch glimpses of it. It has four arms, and a toxic yellow mist seems to surround it, and apparently it has a trunk?

Permalink

Well then, she obviously just needs to try harder so she can catch it, whatever it is.

Permalink

She does! And she's gaining on it! Oh, look, there's a likely-looking ledge she can use to follow it from the rooftops.

Permalink

A likely looking ledge? Really?

Well alright then! She will indeed use the likely-looking ledge to follow the demon from the rooftops.

Permalink

The dream is pleased with her decisionmaking process, apparently, since there's no resistance from those quarters.

Time blurs, and she's facing the demon in an alley, and it swipes at her feet with one of the lower arms while trying to use one of the upper ones to make a grab for her face.

Permalink

A… grab for her face? What, so it can try to squish her head?

She ducks around it and jumps over the lower one, spinning around to hit at it with her fist.

She can do that, right? It's a dream, so it's not like physics has to make sense or anything.

Permalink

And for all that, her spin feels surprisingly realistic, especially the part where the huge demon thing uses one of its hands to hold the one she used to try to punch it and swings her aside, throwing her at a wall.

Permalink

Oof.

Well, that wasn't very friendly. Admittedly, she was stalking it and she did attack it first, but still. It practically had it coming – it's a huge many-limbed demon.

… Wait, what?


She tries to get up – hoping she's not too badly harmed – and get a better look at it. Hopefully it's not too busy trying to kill her?

Permalink

It's not busy trying to kill her, but it's busy trying to do—something. It's big, with leathery yellow skin, a short trunk and two small tusks, a pair of pure blue eyes, wearing only a pair of trousers, and the something it's trying to do is spray her face with something from its trunk.

Permalink

Well, she will be dodging that, because she has no idea what the hell kind of effects it can have. Maybe it's some sort of contact-poison.

Are there any nice objects around that she can grab and throw? Maybe a helpful metal pole?

Permalink

She's in a dark alley. There's a dumpster, some trash, a lot of damp, a fire escape from a building, but nothing that looks like it'd easily turn into a weapon.

...well, the fire escape looks pretty breakable to her, in some undefinable way.

Also the demon is approaching again, using its powerful legs to try to close the distance between them and give her what might become her last hug.

Permalink

The fire escape… looks breakable?

Well, in that case, she quickly goes that direction and attempts to break the fire escape. The monster will hopefully not be quick enough to reach her before this occurs, because otherwise she's probably… well, she's probably screwed.

Permalink

She grabs it and oops she has a metal bar now.

(Feel familiar?)

Permalink

She– it does! It feels very familiar.

She gives it a little twirl and spins back to face the monster. Should she go for mêlée or should she go for throwing?

She thinks throwing.


How well does it go right through the monster? She's expecting very.

Permalink

Yes!

...and it doesn't stop the monster! It heals before her eyes and reaches for her neck.

Permalink

Well, she seems to be pretty speedy right now, so she can just run back from it and look for another weapon? Surely it'll stop if she manages to keep poking more holes in it?

Permalink

The first hole is closing fairly quickly before her eyes. That may not be the best way to stop the unstoppable monster.

Permalink

Oh.

Well.


That's unfortunate.

She's not really sure how else she's supposed to defeat the unstoppable monster, since she doesn't have any clue if it has any obvious weaknesses, so. She. … She decides to look for some more poles anyway. She would run away, but she doesn't really want to let this thing rampage around.

Permalink

No poles have mysteriously appeared. This isn't that kind of dream. It's the kind of dream where the giant demon is gaining enough momentum to jump Eva and once again attempt to grab her.

Permalink

… And is it the kind of dream where she manages to escape from the danger, just before it reaches her?

You know, the one where she magically gains mystical powers and, for example, sprouts wings and can fly away?
