((OOc I don’t mind.))
“This is prefect,” Sirius cried in delight. “Now you just to place them around. I’m afraid my nature or my alignment will not do those jars any favors.”
Sirius finally noticed the awakened Ashley. “Good morning Madam.” He then switched his attention to the whole room. “The theory of belief is simple. If you believe in it, you give it more power.”
“Where I am heading with this is, holy water. Multiple recipes, the best one is a blessed pot, purified water and the blessing of a divine being. Regular water works in a pinch too. After it is made start with the inside, sprinkle it on the walls and then the outside. The problem is once I leave here, I don’t know if I will be able to get back in. Azumi, Jonathan there are runic wards too those require to be etched, fortunately those are one of the few things I can do with out my nature interfering. Azumi if you know any warding we will also need it. Jonathan when you finally have your mind about you. Make wards it doesn’t matter how simple it is sometimes simple is best.
Finally, Azumi do you know of a way I can change my nature? How do I put this become cleaner, pure? What I’m trying to say do you know of a way…. He began to mumble. “What I’m trying to say is….” I saved universes, planets, gave up my immortality. Do you think a divine higher power would help me cleanse without destroying me. I didn’t do the things I did for favors. I did them of my own free will, because I found them beautiful, Interesting or I personally decided they it was worth it. I know they won’t consider my actions much and would more than likely turn their nose up. But I have to try. Because if I don’t that would mean that I didn’t give it my all… I’m terrified that they won’t find the things I done, or me worth anything. I have done so much good and so much bad… I have always been the man who gave, I didn’t expect some higher power to return the, favor, I don’t expect it now. In fact this might condemn me more. But I have to do it don’t I?”
“The last thing I can do is sacrifice my crew. Their nature is vastly different than mine.” Sirius swallowed thickly. “I’m probably going to be out for a few days. I’m already exhausted summoning them and having them become a ward…”

The dog was by himself when he woke up. He would shake and start trotting out and looking around. He went over to a wall first and lifted his leg and urinated on the wall before he began his trek.
(( Yeah, you're free to join, Astro...just be a little forewarned that story progress can be a bit slow at times... ))
"That's...a bit complicated of what you're saying Sirius... But, yeah, I'll be able to make runic lines since my magic sword is very similar to that; magic lines formed and etched into a sword. Normally it required a troublesome ring in order for me to make such magical runes before, but now I've mastered it and it became second nature to me. When it comes to changing your nature of what you're requesting...yeah, I can't do something like that... Even if Aurora is alive, granted we're quite formidable, and can do some pretty amazing things with both raw magic and alchemy...but never in such a 'grand scheme', even a human's and mana's potential can only go so far... So hopefully Azumi could help because if she can't then I doubt anyone else can...except for Camry if he's still around...? I haven't seen him lately..." said Jonathan

{{Alright}}
The maiden in red let out a groan as she opened her eyes. She spotted a ace of spade card on the ground along with a pocket watch. "No...not again", she said with panic in her voice. The maiden stood up quickly and grabbed her sword off the ground. Holding her sword close to her, she spotted a illusion of a card guard.
"Die!", The maiden shouted, charging at the illusion. She had a maniacally look on her face. Swinging her sword, she ended sticking into a building window. She pulled it out and starting swinging repeatedly at the window.

Jalie looks at the drawings, spotting one that looks similar to the spirit ship that came from Sirius. "Hmm, these must be his. I guess I'll find him.." She leaves the room, wandering around and peeking in others. She also waits for a response from Camry as she does this.
Despite her not explicitly using her powers, she can still sense a new person here.. and... an animal? "How does an animal end up here? Poor thing.. I'd go find it, but I can't in my current state. I'm still worn down from the sandman."

“Well obviously you can’t Jonathan. I knew you were human, in fact I highly doubt Azumi can. It’s purely a matter that only a God can deal with, even then… It’s just my worry….” Sirius shoulders sagged. “No matter what I do in this situation it won’t be good enough. I have always been that way I suppose.”
“I do have an idea of a combination of dark and light into a pair of gloves. Eventually the light will bleed through and hurt my being. But it would grant a temporary effect of a slight change. I would be unable to use magic. I have no idea if I would be able to summon my crew. I would need to create a black smith forge. The trouble is I haven’t forged a weapon since the 1600’s. I did a bit of metal work for my ship.”
Infortunately the formula is where Jalie is Along with my other designs….”

"This is very tedious, why am I doing this? I can literally feel where they are." She shakes her head at herself, but immediately regrets it. Jalie groans and instead heads straight to Sirius and the rest of them. She gets to the room and walks in. "Hey guys. Um, these were scattered on the ground.. Sirius, I think they're yours." Jalie holds them out slightly so they can see them.
"Also, who brought me to that room? I really appreciate it." She assumes it was Sirius because of the drawings, but she wants to make sure anyway.
((Just realized I was posting with my profile.. woops, sorry lol.))

[Welcome to the Party, Astro]
When asked if she needed anything, like food or water, Ashley shook her head. She was just glad to be awake and out of her nightmare filled slumber. However, this did lead to Jonathan asking her about the Sandman. She proceeded to straighten out her hair before looking towards the young man whilst cradling the swollen belly. "He was...chasing me. Down a dark hall way. Because I'm so far into my pregnancy, I couldn't even run and didn't get very far. He...cornered me and gave me this...menacing, angry and hateful look. And then I started crying, pleading for him to not take my baby." She frowned. "Then he...he held me against a wall, both of my arms pinned, also holding my throat. I couldn't breathe...and then, he ripped my stomach open." She sniffled as tears began to fall out of her eyes. "It was terrible. I'm just glad that my baby was okay when I woke up..." She sighed once more. "Nonetheless, how much has happened while I was...screaming in my sleep?"

She sighed once more. "Nonetheless, how much has happened while I was...screaming in my sleep?"
"Goodness!! That's...pretty gruesome..." said Jonathan, rather surprised to hear Ashley's story taking quite a very dark turn "Well I'm just glad you're alright...the last thing we want is for that to happen to you... Oh, and to ask your question, I think you were asleep for about a little over an hour...give or take... Nothing has happened during this time though..."
Jonathan then lets out a sigh of relief, he then ponders on what to do next. Finding more information may be their best bet right now, but leaving certain people behind again would prove to be very risky despite now having very powerful wards to help protect themselves against the sandman...although it hasn't been tested yet to see if it's true...
"We need more information on these two sandmans...or is there really two though...? We need more than just journals entries; we need more detailed information...though I doubt that'll come easy..." said Jonathan as he then realizes something "You know...you having nightmares made me remember making something to help with bad dreams; a dreamcatcher charm of some kind...I remember making one for a child client a long time ago as I was starting out as an alchemist... Since the sandman deals with us in dreams, even though we have seen that he'll even attack us physically as well, perhaps this dreamcatcher can work as a powerful ward against him as well...at least it's worth a shot, but..."

“Jalie you’re a charm. You should be resting. It was no problem. Jonathan when your finished dealing with madam.” Sirius took his drawings from Jalie. He pulled out a drawing of a pair gloves. Thin but made out of multiple layers that alternate between darkness and light. You know one of the outer realities alchemy. There’s no rush warding comes first.”
By the way Dream catchers are amazing wards and a fun project. I also think we should do a few surprise wards, essentially a closet full of stones or, fabrics we can throw down at any given time to increase the strength. It may come down to it being a continuous project. We are better safe than sorry. Unfortunately the wards may make him more violent knowing he can’t always access you guys. I don’t think he’s interested in me at all as along as I don’t aggravate him to much. I’m dead, literally, he might not feel my presence, or he might think I’m just an extension… the possibility is he could not have known I was there and now he’s aware??? Or he very well played with my fear. Anyway I know minor shadow magic, a trick I picked up in the afterlife. The safest bet is to send me out if we need anything.”

Jalie shrugs and smile at Sirius. "It's no problem. Yeah.. I would have slept longer but I had a nightmare and Camry woke me up." She watches and listens curiously. "What are you guys doing?"
"Also, just a heads up, there's now an animal here and another person. Although... the person's presence seems.. off.." She struggles, trying to find the right words. "Almost like maybe.. they aren't, well.. right in the head.."
"Also, just a heads up, there's now an animal here and another person. Although... the person's presence seems.. off.." She struggles, trying to find the right words. "Almost like maybe.. they aren't, well.. right in the head.."
"Oh, I didn't think you two were close by still...I figured you both are resting in different places in this hospital... But, yeah, creating special and powerful dreamcatcher charms is no problem to me...but there is a caveat in order to use them...the world that I've come from has magic all around them, it's likely been like that since ancient primordial times... To make the point simple, I'm unsure this world is 'magical' enough to support the use of the charms I could create...they will constantly need to be fed with non-corrupting magic for them to function... Especially since this closed world is a creation of someone very powerful, I doubt it would make it so that the dreamcatchers would work...as such it would be a waste of time and resources to make them that they won't even work in the first place... Of course, if we should still try and risk creating them despite the circumstances, I can make enough for everyone here..." "I better keep it a secret to them that I got enough material to make six of them...which means only one person will have to be without a charm... I suppose Sirius can be without a charm, since he does proclaim that he's dead, thus he's basically immune to the sandman's antics...according to his claims just now... It's safe to trust his word... As such as least I will have a charm to keep to myself, though I wouldn't mind not using one either since I'm sure that the nightmares won't affect me...at least I hope..."
When Jalie said that now there's even more new people that got teleported into this strange, closed world...
*Sigh* "...Great...just fantastic... More victims for the sandman to feed off of... How much more we have to deal with? We already got a lot to deal with on our plate already... Well, I suppose first things first that we should set up the wards before we go out in search and rescue of the active survivors. Although we can be lucky if they somehow managed to find this place while we set up though...only time will tell... Anyway, I don't mind making the dreamcatchers if anyone requests them to be made; it's no trouble at all since I'm using non-important resources." said Jonathan
Jonathan would then help out to set up the wards before heading out to look for the people outside of the hospital that Jalie is detecting.
(( Edited due to an embarrassing typo that someone indirectly spoke out... ))

"Oh, well, Sirius took me to a room so I could rest, after I seemed to have passed out. I'm thankful, although I do still have a headache.." She rubs her head lightly, her ears moving slightly. "And Camry... well, he isn't here physically. At least not currently. He's trying to get back.. I think..." Jalie ponders this for a moment before bringing her attention back to the group.
"What are dream casters.. or catchers?" She shakes her head slightly, again regretting it immediately, and grimaces a little. Jalie looks at Jonathan and Sirius for answers.

Camry finally made it to the door. He propelled himself through, feeling as though he was going to puke. Then, he saw a room materializing. “Yes!” He cried as he fell into the room with Jonathan, Sirius, and Jalie. He landed on his face and felt his nose start to bleed but sprang to his feet. “Guys! I’m so glad to see you! What did I miss?”
"Told you he was coming back!" Jalie seems happy with herself as she starts looking through cupboards and drawers in the room. She eventually finds paper towels and grabs them. She walks back over to Camry and wipes off the blood. Jalie hands him the paper towels. "Here, in case you need to plug your nose. I'm glad you're back... and that I'm not crazy.." She mumbles the last bit to herself. "Hey, wait.. you helped me out of my nightmare.. I'm guessing you could see it? Or at least hear it?"
Camry took the paper towels from Jalie. “Yeah, I could see and hear most of it. I’m not sure how though..” he replied. “But I mostly just felt your emotions in the moment. So…what happened after I… took a quick nap? And how long was I gone?” He hugged her. “I’m glad to see you…”
"Oh... Yeah, I'm not really sure either. I have a feeling it might be because of my power." Jalie looks up at Camry, thinking. "Camry, I'm not in your mind. I left it a while ago. And yet I can hear you speak to me, out loud or in your mind. It's almost as if my power has made a connection to you... I'll have to work with it more later."
"I pretty much passed out a little after you disappeared. Sirius took me to a room so I could rest. You woke me up and I found Sirius's drawings and brought them here. I'm not really sure what they're talking about. Something about wards and dream casters.. or catchers? I don't know, I'm still weak from the sandman, which makes it hard to focus. And I still have a headache." She sighs and rubs her head gently. Jalie is surprised by the hug, but she hugs back nonetheless. She feels small hugging him, especially knowing he's younger than her. "I'm glad to see you too."

"I'm glad to see you too."
Camry steps back and taps his chin. “You know, I figured you wouldn’t have been trying to contact me in your nightmare but I was still able to hear…” he shook his head. “We’ll figure it out. But for right now, let’s see what we can do about your headache.” He placed his hand and her forehead as his hands glowed a gentle gold color. He drew power from himself so that the power she drew would be replenished. He lowered his hand and tilted his head. “Did that help?”
The dog seemed to be wandering, bit he wasn't. He was on a mission and he would not be deterred. He would sniff and mark certain places to make sure to know if he was in a new area or not.
About an hour of tossing, turning and screaming...Well that sounded very unpleasant. Still, that was what happened. However, Ashley was a little appalled to learn that there was possibly a second Sandman. As if one was bad enough. This led her to wonder which one invaded her nightmare and turned it into a rather...graphic one. Unfortunately, there was no real way for her to tell. Then Jonathan proceeded to inform her that more information was needed and the use of dreamcatchers. "The dreamcatcher may protect us in our dreams, but what'll protect us out here when we're not sleeping? And if we can find protection against him in both aspects, we may be able to defeat him as well. Maybe leave this...hellish place and return to wherever we came from." She responded. "He has to have a weakness too. But what is the question."
Slowly, she swung her legs off the bed so that she could get to her feet, stretching both her arms before putting both hands on her back. "And I may as well make myself useful. I may be pregnant, but back in my world, I'm a Paramedic, so if anyone's hurt, I can help treat their injuries."
