Duke - Nevermore

    now I lay me down to sleep.

    Duke - Nevermore

    In Dreamland, you can have anything. Or at least, that's what the Deans tell you. The ethereal dimension is tangible, breathable, and carries very few consequences; you have all night to do as you please. All that's left is to make the wish you've rightly earned.

    "I want to see Duke."

    The Deans, Merry and Mourn, glance at each other, bemused— do they know something you don't? A sense of understanding passes between them before Merry's mouth curls into a Cheshire grin.

    With a simple clap of Merry's hands, Duke's body appears in front of you, floating so gently that his sleep goes undisturbed.

    "You have until morning," Mourn reminds you as you kneel over your unconscious friend. "Then he'll be returned to where we found him."

    "—so you'd better get everything taken care of in the next few hours!" Merry chirps. His smile never quite reaches his eyes. "Now, you've gotten your wish, so leave us alone the rest of the night, mmkay?"

    Another wave of their hands and the Deans have pushed you through the wrought-iron gates and back into the gently wilds of Dreamland, with only a picnic basket and the friend that's been missing for days.
