Ten year old Jaune Arc was dreaming.
Usually his dreams are silly things, like flying or a castle made of candy. Sometimes he dreams of being a hero, saving princesses (though he's never actually seen one) and killing Grimm.
But sometimes he has these odd dreams. There's no fights (usually) and he's in a strange place with strange people.
This time he's in a big building floating in the night sky. There's pretty stars and planets circling the building. The building itself is weird too. The walls are black wood, actual trees not planks or stuff, and the floor is covered in so many different small orange rugs he can't even tell what color it is.
There's big beanbag chairs everywhere and one of those big counters where dad keeps that nasty juice that gives you a headache (he snuck some once. He was puking for hours).
Oh and there's a guy laying on the counter watching him. He's odd too.
His skin is white, like paper white, which makes the glowing orange hair and neon green eyes stand out more. He might have looked intimidating with his sharp teeth and being so tall (he stretched across the entire counter!) if he wasn't wearing fluffy fox slippers and a big fluffy bathrobe.
"Hi there, how'd you end up in my bar?"
what's a bar? He's not usually supposed to talk to strangers but this is a dream so it's ok right?
"I'm Jaune Arc, and I'm here cuz this is a dream!"
The man seems confused and amused.
"Jaune Arc huh? One of my sisters favorites. Well I can't really tell you my name so you can call me whatever you want. I'm not sure what we're doing in your dream buddy. What do you wanna do?"
"Let's be heroes Mr.Bob!"
The man falls off the counter when he hears the name.
"Bob? Ok, Bob it is. I dunno about being a hero kid, not sure i'd be good at it."
"You don't like helping people?"
"Sure I do but there's plenty of ways to help people kid."
"Really?"
"Sure, doctors help people, charities help people, scientists help people."
"I know charity is good, and doctors like mom help people but how do scientists help people? It thought they just made things go boom and laughed when there was thunder?"
"That's tv scientist. Real scientist make things.....and laugh at thunder. Scientist help make the medicine your mom uses and other stuff that make peoples lives better."
"So scientist are better than heroes?"
"Not saying that, saying scientist are a different kind of hero."
Jaune was confused by this so he did what his dad does when talks start going ways he doesn't like. Change the subject.
"Hey you said you have a sister? And I'm her favorite?"
"I have a lot of family, and you're one of her favorites. She likes people who know what they want, and you want to help people."
"Yeah! What's her name?"
"Sorry buddy can't tell you that, why don't you pick a name for her too?"
"Ok. Will I ever meet Miss bob-ette?"
Jaune must have picked a good name because Bob was smiling a big smile.
"Probably not but I'll tell her you said hi."
Jaune started feeling tingly. That means he's gonna wake up soon.
"Bye Mr.Bob!"
[Madness of Evolution] watched the child fade away.
How odd for a human soul to repeatedly end up falling into godly realms. Still it's something new and new is good.
Hopefully he got the kid interested in science over swinging a sword. It's not glorious but being under his banner would definitely be better than under his sister [All Consuming Ideals]. He didn't lie when he said his sister liked him, but just because he's a favorite doesn't mean he'll be treated well (as the Taurus boy proves). She can't help it, it's her nature. People suffer for their ideals.
[Madness of Evolution] put aside thoughts of Jaune Arc. someone else caught his attention. A man willing to tear off a chunk of his soul to create artificial life.
Absolutely insane. Inspired and innovative technique. How wonderful.
