Dreaming the First
Warnings: TAUNTINGS and DISNEY under the cut!
Dream Effects: Shocked surprise at first, fading to tenderness- and then a precipitous fall into miserable despair, gradually hardening to bitter determination
Note: While this is no happy dream, it's also not a Moon Cycle nightmare; no illness shall be forthcoming.
NggggghhhAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
[Philip jerked upright in bed, covered in sweat and staring wildly at the dark of his bedroom- and at no point does he notice the faint glimmer of the Dreamberry at his bedside table, its purple glow fading away.]

H-Hurt maybe, but no one has ever stopped them from hurting people.

No-one's ever so much as driven them back? They sound almost impossibly fearsome. [Oh, he's taking this seriously all right; he's got no pretense of being able to handle what others can't in battle.]

I... I don't know... they haven't been around in almost a year but... with the nightmares all coming about... it may only be a matter of time before they come back.

I see...
I'll definitely keep your warning in mind, and try to avoid them if at all possible. Do you have someone to keep you safe from them? [Because if she doesn't, he's offering; surely Aurora and Rapunzel wouldn't mind opening up another room... although he'll have to recalculate his siegey supplies.]
...And what were the other two issues?

Oh um... t-the moon in Somarium controls things. It causes all sorts of curious things to happen in Somarium. It once turned everything into a jungle, and another time, we all thought we were born in Somarium!
The second thing is... there are cards in Somarium... they show up randomly but they do curious things. They can make you older, younger, turn you into a boy or girl, they can even change your personality!
[Video]
...Wait, the moon turned everything into a jungle? How on Earth did it manage that? [The mind-tweaking thing was considerably easier to cope with; everyone knew the full moon stole men's minds. Why else would they be called 'lunatics'?
And those cards... they surely sounded like maliciously random magic to him. The sort of thing a
child fairychildish and immature mind with far too much power at its disposal would find funny, much like scattering spikes on a dark floor. Philip did NOT approve.]It's well you told me these things, Milady Liddell; I might well have fallen victim to them otherwise. I owe you great thanks.

[Don't you worry, tiny adorable Alice; the frown he's wearing isn't for you at all!]

I don't doubt that you've just saved me from making some serious blunders, o Sage Teacher Alice. [He rose, bowing floridly to the Dreamberry with a smile; she's had a bad enough time as it is, and better by far to get her grinning again.] I promise, I shall do my utmost to comport myself as a student of yours should, and not betray your formidable tutelage and fairy wisdom.
Perhaps we might meet once again, in town at some time? [He'd give her a caaaarving...]

I look forward to it, Milady Liddell. See you then!
