White/Orange String, Ivory Door

You approach one of the two more curiously unique looking doors as your grip tightens on the woven strings. Up close it is even more fancy looking, the castle carving in the ivory being intricately detailed... though this close you also notice a small, crayon drawing of a stick person standing on top of one of the spires. Said stick person has two lines of what you assume is yellow hair coming out of its head with the "torso" being a white line and a blue triangle that forms a skirt at the bottom. Two red Ls make up the legs and, as best as you can tell, the lines that make up the arms are posed as such to be resting on the figure's hips.

You wonder what that all means as you take hold of the twin handles and push the door so that it swings open, leading into a flower-filled courtyard on a moonlit night. Stepping inside you look around and first spot the actual castle pictured on the door in the distance, framed by the large, full moon behind it. You scratch your head in confusion, nothing here looking quite familiar or giving you an obvious hint as to the dreamer.

A loud scream draws you out of your thoughts and you run off to its source. You round a corner of the castle wall and what you see gives you instant pause.

Parisa, dressed in her school uniform, is pressed up against a wall. She is strung up off the ground with her arms held up over her head and her legs lifted off the ground (giving you a nice view of her pink panties as her skirt rides up) by... are those tentacles?!

Yes. Yes they are. They come in a variety of colors, some red or green, others blue or purple. The source of them seems to be some quivery blob of even more tentacles that burbles and gargles in place, two stalks having eyes on the end of them that glitter with excitement, making the mass almost look proud of its capture.

"Eeek!" Parisa cries out, "I have been captured by a horrible monster that might hurt, eat, or sexually **** me! Will a wonderful heroine please save me before then?!"

You look around for a weapon as you also try to think of a spell to help Parisa with (even though she made an oddly specific request for her rescue) but before you can find anything another voice cuts in on the scene.

"Release that innocent and completely unrelated to me woman at once, Tenta Drone! Or be prepared for punishment!"

You look up towards the source, as does Parisia and the "Tenta Drone". Standing on the nearest rampart is a familiar young woman... though her outfit is quite a bit different than what you saw her wearing at lunchtime or in gym class.

Selena is clad in a white... you THINK it is some kind of lingerie, split down the middle to give anyone looking at her a nice view of the space above and between her modest breasts all the way down to just slightly beneath her belly button. The two halves are seemingly held together by a small red bow in the middle and around her waist is a see-through, blue-colored, plastic mini-skirt. Her legs are clad in thigh high, stiletto boots (which goes to show this is a dream as she is standing in them with no effort at all) and they click against the stone of the rampart as she strikes a pose and shouts, "For Lunalight Queen is here to stop any hurting, eating or sexual molesting by tentacle monsters!"

Okay, it is pretty clear who's dream this is now. And why is it reminding you of something that you cannot quite put your finger on?

Selena jumps down to the ground, running right past you as if you were not even there. A pink staff forms in her hands and just as she is about strike at the creature, a voice behind you shouts out, "HEY! What are YOU doing here?!"

You jump in surprise and turn around, the other players in the dream not reacting to the new cry. Standing behind you, glaring at you suspiciously is Mana... who is dressed in an outfit very similar to Selena's though the bow and skirt are both orange in color. You also notice her body is surrounded by a soft white glow that, when you look down at yourself again, was around you all along and you had not noticed until now.

Thinking quickly, you raise your hands in a placating "don't kill me" gesture and blurt out, "I don't know! I went to bed and suddenly I was in this hall and there were doors and this ivory door lead here and here I am and I don't know how I got here!"

"You're Dreamwatching," Mana says, arms crossed over her chest, her glare growing skeptical, "Accidentally."

You nod furiously, not exactly sure what Dreamwatching is, but are then distracted by Selena's scream behind you. Turning around you see that, from some severed tentacles laying on the ground, she has freed Parisa from her captivity, the brunette having run for the hills in the meantime. However, given the new, even more numerous swarm of tentacles that now have the pony-tailed blonde's limbs held tight, the would-be heroine has taken her place.

"Oh no! The irony," the Lunalight Queen moans, "I am now the one who is going to be sexually molested instead of the one I wanted to save!"

Indeed, more tentacles are sliding up her body, teasing her nipples as they visibly poke through her top, one between her legs rubbing at her core beneath the skirt. The Tenta Drone seems even more pleased at this outcome and, given how she is cooing and moaning, Selena seems to be quickly enjoying it as well, despite her words.

Before you can continue watching, Mana grabs you in a headlock (unintentionally giving you quite the up-close look at her own modest but firm cleavage) and shouts, "Why should I believe you and not think you're some kind of assassin?! Or just a pervert?!"

You do not know if she is this strong in real life or if this is just a facet of her state in this dream world but her grip is tight and you cannot wiggle free. "Swear," you gasp out, "Dunno. How I. Got here."

Mana lets you go, letting you cough for air as she looks at you skeptically again. "Get out," she says, "I'll believe you this time but we WILL be having words about this even if YOU don't remember it when you wake up, got it?"

You nod again and stumble back to where the door was, risking one last look over your shoulder to see Selena still in trouble as one of the tentacles has slid aside the material of her outfit between her legs to the side so it can penetrate her womanhood, another has freed one of her breasts to curl around it, and a third is merrily plunging in and out of her mouth. Selena's body is starting to glow with a pink energy the more the monster stimulates her and you are unsure if that is a good or bad sign but the monster seems oblivious to it as it keeps going.

The growl from the straight haired blonde standing next to the scene snaps you back to your own current situation and you swiftly return to the door, walking back out onto the cobblestone path as the door slams shut behind you and fades into nothingness.

As you stand there, thinking about what you just saw, one thing stands out in your mind.

If Mana was only doing this "Dreamwatching" thing she mentioned, why was she dressed in the same kind of outfit as Selena?
