orbs | [EM] The Oddest Dream

Paige hadn't been sleeping too easily these last few nights. Everything that had been going on lately with her Whitelighter status, and the 'jingles' that came any time of day or night it was getting to her a bit. She had barely been able to fall asleep before she would hear one of her charges call for her and she'd have to get up and Orb away to see what was the matter.

That night she heard the sound and just rolled over. "No. Not tonight. Sleep. I am sleeping. No on the jingle," was her muffled reply into the pillow. Her one eye opened a bit waiting for the noise to return to her head, but when it didn't she sighed in relief letting herself drift back off to sleep.

The hallway at Magick school seemed a lot longer to Paige, and she wondered why she hadn't bothered to grab her shoes before Orbing out of the house. It wasn't like her, but then again things had been sort of on the chaos side of things.

"Great, now I'm Sleep-Orbing. Fantastic!" huffed Paige beneath her breath trying to stay alert just in case whoever had called for her was hiding from something bigger. She was just thankful that she had actually been wearing a two piece set of pajamas, of course the oversized pieces of candy probably didn't make it look any more normal.

The other thing that wasn't helping was that the hallway didn't seem to end. Paige was pretty sure she had been walking for at least five minutes, and still hadn't made it to the grand hall. Sure demons had taken it over recently but that didn't mean they did massive remodeling. "Okay. What gives."

As soon as she said it the door on her right suddenly opened up scaring the hell out of her as she jumped back startled. "Okay! Okay! I can take a hint! Sheeesh!"

Paige shook her head a little miffed at everything and still confused moved through the door and tipped her head to the side, because there was Phoebe coming through a door on the opposite side of the door Paige had just entered. Paige also noticed that Phoebe was pajama clad as well.

"Okay, so this just got weirder right?"

There was a penguin now? Jeez, it's birds all over the place, since Phoebe talked to a duck. [you pay the best attention EVAR!!1one ♥]

"I believe you. You didn't do it. But who did, and where are they?" Phoebe looked around, wondering if Piper was going to wander up and yell at the two of them.

"Main hall sounds as good as any place." Phoebe nodded, heaidng in the direction of the main hall. As they passed doorways and hallways that branched off the one they were in, different strange things were happening, including one hall that looked like it was papered with glowing neon starfish.

"Someone slipped us some acid before we went to sleep and we're sharing a hallucination," she muttered, looking over at Paige. "So many things wrong in this place." They finally emerged on the main hall to find a giant green and purple paisly elephant playing cards with a small pink chihuahua. The animals turned and nodded at Paige and Phoebe, going back to their game of pinochle.

"Why are there so many animals?" She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Paige, moving around the elephant and chihuahua.

[Lack of sleep FTW!! Paige must be rubbing off on me or something!] Paige just shrugged the animal question off, and continued onward into the main hall. Of course it wouldn't be easy in whatever odd dimension they had ended up in, but still they made it to the main hall.

Normally there would be walls upon walls of books, but this looked like a scene from Ghostbusters... the first one, not the second one with the bad accent guy and the painting. The books were all in stacks, to the ceiling.

"Uh... so this? Is not going to be easy of course. You know maybe we should just try a spell to wake us up? You think that might work? I mean we are short one for power of three, but... we should at least try something?"

Phoebe had no idea where to start on a spell. Sure, she liked to write them sometimes. When she felt rhymey. This moment though, she felt none to rhymey.

"Uh. Okay?" She looked around, pursing her lips and twisting them to the side. "No idea where to start though." Pausing and taking a deep breath, she backed away from the animals focused on their game and went toward the stacks of books. She read the titles quickly, finding a book on basic casting. When she found one she wanted, she went to pull it out, and her hand passed through it like it was mist.

"Aww, what the crap." She attempted to grab it again and again, her hand passed through it. "Okay, maybe we can walk thr-" Phoebe took a step forward through the books, a hollow thumping noise sounding through the hall as she ran into them. She rubbed her shoulder and turned to Paige. "FINE. I guess we just write something untested and see if it works." She'd been hoping that she'd be able to find something simple that would take no brain power to get them awake.

"So." She took a determined step forward toward Paige. "Let's get crackin'!"

Paige laughed beneath her breath as Phoebe smacked into the bookcase, then shrunk back against her shoulders at the glare, "Sorry?"

Truthfully she had no clue what to do except start to rhyme and see what came of it all.

"So this is going to be.. interesting?"

Paige inhaled and tried to think of something in her head, counting off the rhyme of it a bit before testing it out.

"Our dreams have gone a bit wack...
how about this spell...
to help bring us back?"

Paige finished it off closing her eyes worried about what was going to happen, "Did it work?"

Phoebe closed her eyes tight as Paige started to speak the spell, smirking at the verbal question mark that ended it, then cracking one eye open. When she was greeted with the two of them still in Magick School but now standing on what looked like the game board for Candy Land. When a little blue plastic players piece went wandering by and waved up at them, she sighed heavily.

"Nope." She looked over at Paige, then looked back down again, realizing that they were both standing in a square for the game board, and that there was a pile of cards for them to pull from hovering in front of them.

"Uhhhh... Maybe we're supposed to play?" She shrugged at Paige.

"Great. My spell backfires and I get stuck in a board game that I was too busy being an only child to actually play." Paige huffed as she set her hands on her hips, then with a tight smirk held her hand out, "Stupid card."

The card orbed from the deck to her hand, and she flipped it over. "Double red." Then suddenly the little blue piece man came over and put his flat plastic hands all over Paige's very curvy bottom pushing her from one red square to the second one, all the while with Paige going, "Hey! HEY! Watch it mister Grabby Hands!! This game is Candy Land, not Candy Ass!!"

When she was on her new found place she turned to Phoebe. "Ha! Your turn."
