old muse, new journal! canon is Yume Nikki.

[he's quiet, fiddling with his long fingers in front of him. he's not entirely sure what he's doing here. he speaks up finally, an odd voice-- certainly inhuman-- that he almost seems to be forcibly shaping into words, and not all that well.]

Th... ... thank... you. For... remembering me.

The house...?

[nope, that game is closed, baby, sorry.

oh. his head sinks, his only halfway-defined mouth pulling into a frown.]

Oh.

Will there... be more...?

[ohnomars]

[oh wha-- oh... he seems startled by her at first, but, well, he's seen weirder shit before.]

H... e... llo.

[timeparty]

Hi. [Aradia smiles pleasantly. He's kind of strange too, but she's okay with it.]

[ohnomars]

[he doesn't seem sure what to say. he's not used to having conversational partners. Madotsuki never really talked, she just silently walked around and occasionally stabbed him. when she was in the mood.]

Are you... a dreamer...?

[timeparty]

No. [pause.] I never really have been! There's lots of things one has to do in order to carry out the fate of their existence.

[Unless, he means in the Derse and Prospit sense. Poor guy looks so hopeless.....]

[ohnomars]

[he seems surprised by that.]

Then-- you are... a dream? [where he's from, there are the dreamers-- Madotsuki-- and the dreams. nothing inbetween.]

[timeparty]

[..Then again, she still technically isn't a dreamer, because she never woke up on Derse. Hmmm. Special case, indeed. --ah? ...oh.. he must not be used to people, that would explain a lot.]

I'm a troll. What are you?

[ohnomars]

A dream.

[timeparty]

[soft pause.]

What's that like?

[ohnomars]

Lonely, sometimes.

[timeparty]

You don't have any friends?

[ohnomars]

Only one.

[timeparty]

I'll be your friend! Then you can have two.

[ohnomars]

...!

[he lets out a sound of surprise, revealing what his true voice is-- a very odd little sound that almost sounds like it belongs in a video game.

but then he catches himself just enough to give her a smile.]
