SLEEP ONE TWO THREE FOUR ESPERA
SLEEP
A manipulative enigma with grand presence and power within The Murmur that rivals that of a god, and many already treat Her as such. She is everywhere and nowhere at once. Call to her, and she may answer you. She may even treat you, if you treat her, but be prepared to sacrifice. Painful offerings and loyalty are her favorite gifts of devotion (She's also a hopeless romantic).

The Numerals and Espera seem to despise Her, and One is inexplicably bound to Her. What Sleep has disclosed about Her intentions seem quite simple: Collect more Vessels to host Her power, expand past the Earth She's tied to, and deliver them all from loneliness and prolonged suffering to a divine eutopia only She can create.

For that, She needs One.
ONE
A somber, shy and elusive individual that better expresses himself through poetry and song. One's past is shrouded in mystery, tragedy and his own amnesia, but hinted to hold an incredible power that not even he is aware of. One has devoted his entirety to Sleep through blood sacrifice in an attempt to skew Her attention from the vessels to himself, but whether that was successful or not has yet to be known.

Vessels have been made recently aware that One has suffered Lunar Exaltation before the world was destroyed: An ascension, from mortal to more, and a beacon of power that remains the reason why Sleep seeks to claim him.
TWO
Not much is known about the Numeral Two, other than he is an expressive and unburdened Token, mute but not idle. He was very close to One before being thrown into a voided plane of existence by Sleep's hand, and scattered into fragments. Espera claims he is essential to returning One to his senses and putting an end to Sleep's reign.

With his fragments found, Two can now communicate through lights and electricity, but lacks a physical body. Something seems to be missing.
THREE
An impish Offering of the Trickster variant, the Numeral Three has a playful disposition and colorful means of expression. Rather chaotic but not malicious, he takes the form of three-eyed corvids, cacatuas, and foxes with frequency, while answering riddles fuels his permanance for brief bursts. His connection with the Waking World is stronger than Two's, but in no less need of mending.

Currently his appearances are unreliable; He may be seen in shared dreams or when he has enough power to solidify from the Void's realm.
FOUR
The first Numeral to vanish and the last to be found. Not much is known about Four, other than having a very strong connection with Three.

Currently missing.
ESPERA
Revealed to be Nymphai, The Espera were birthed from One's exaltation and were meant to guide him on his journey from mortal to more before being barred by Sleep. She, (or they), is (are) a singular entity of three bodies, which are missing in a similar manner to the Numerals. She has a stronger presence within the Murmur but too weak to manifest physically, and is always watching to aid the Vessels in any way she can.

[It's hard to contact someone you only talked to once and kind of by accident, but Toki's going to try anyway. He hopes the thought of "guy he talked to about music that one time" comes across correctly through the Murmur.]

Hey, uh, are you there? I think I have that song for that lady done.

[Despite everything. Hopefully he doesn't need to write down the actual music, because he can't really do that. It'd be nice to have some recording equipment too, but you use what you can work with.]

Do you think you could tell me if she'd like it?
dethangel: (performance)

[personal profile] dethangel 2025-08-05 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Yeah, okay. Hold on...

[There's a sense of relief when the connection establishes, like he didn't expect to ever find that guy again... and maybe it feels like that guy didn't expect it either. But Toki smiles, adjusting the guitar in his hands.]

This is what I've got! And, uh... I don't have an amp, so we're gonna have to use our imagination, okay?

[But if anybody knows how to use his imagination it's Toki, and when he starts to play, he mentally layers the proper distortion over the soft sound of the strings. It's the song he'd showed off on the network, but this time more polished and even a little practiced.

See, he's been trying to start practicing a little more like Skwisgaar tells him to, even if old habits die hard.

He plays fast, because he doesn't know how to play any slower, and while his vocals are hesitant at first, soon he finds himself with more confidence, belting out mostly-finished lyrics about waking up in such a strange situation and how he's trying to handle it. It'd probably benefit from percussion, but as it is, he's done his best.

When he's finished, he takes a deep breath, trying not to worry too hard about the reception.]


Uh, that's it. What do you think?
dethangel: (hopeful)

[personal profile] dethangel 2025-08-06 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
You... you really think so?

[It's rare that he gets praise for anything he's written himself, but it's also rare that he shares any of that with anyone in the first place.]

Thanks! And, oh, thanks for helping me with the guitar too. You think she'll like this too? I wish I could record it...
dethangel: (think)

[personal profile] dethangel 2025-08-06 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Toki basically just exudes relief at the news. Not bad for his first solo commission.]

Oh cool... then I could pretend some drums and stuff and make it a really big song...

[He'll have to work on that.]

So other people could listen to it if they wanted?
dethangel: (oh)

[personal profile] dethangel 2025-08-06 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure if he should admit that he wasn't entirely sure how to send it directly to who it was for, but it's probably written all over his thoughts anyway. Still, that's not the only reason.]

Well... you're the one who told me about stuff, right?

[It only seemed right to go to the person who helped him out in the first place.]

And... you seem really cool!

[Anybody who's nice to him right now, when he can't help but feel a little lost without the rest of his band, is basically friend material. Anybody. No takebacks.]
dethangel: (frown)

[personal profile] dethangel 2025-08-07 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Toki certainly knows the feeling, even if in a completely different context, which obviously warrants trying to be all supportive about it, even if the word "worship" makes him wince just a little.]

But... I wouldn't have thought about that if you didn't help, so it counts!

[So there.]

I wanted to tell you, 'cause you told me, and, uh, you know more than I do.
dethangel: (thoughtful smile)

[personal profile] dethangel 2025-08-07 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Toki pauses. This place kinda sucks, and it seems pretty empty aside from all the monster guys and new people and stuff, so if this guy's been around long enough to know where to find stuff... ]

Um, I guess... if you ever need someone to pal around with, you can always pal around with Toki. Okay?

[That's what Toki has to give.]
dethangel: (:()

[personal profile] dethangel 2025-08-07 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah. For a moment, in Toki's little part of the Murmur, there's a cloud of disappointment as he realizes he's probably not getting a new pal to hang out with anytime soon. It's fine. Maybe he's just shy.

Still, Toki made the offer, and he means it. He'll keep the metaphorical door open.]

[She’s just going to try and page Dr.Sleep in their language.]

like tendrils we dance through his veins as we bite through the stars and dance and he opens his mouth wide I am so scared will you let me be the last human i understand now I am the teeth of god I am the teeth of god I am the teeth of god I am the teeth of god I am the teeth of god I am the teeth of god I am the teeth of god

[She isn’t as good at it as an actual Host, but let’s see what she gets.]

[Something about this reminds her of when she travelled to see Invictus. She had to travel to where the light couldn't reach anymore, to leave it behind. She felt like she was doing that again. It felt like she spent a lot of time repeating the same dance.

She has to admit she's surprised this worked. A little uncomfortable with it too. But she has a reason for this. So she'll get right to the point.]


When I first heard you voice you said:

β€œYou don’t have to fall with it.
Let me in.
I can give you everything you’ve ever hungered for.
A place.
A purpose.
Stay.”

Were you telling the truth?
Is this my place?
What's my purpose?
How do I get what I hunger for?

[Grieving Girl here is just looking for some answers.]

[It’s that sense of yearning that draws her in more. She thinks, she feels, she believes it’s the same as what she seeks.

Though one line bothers her. Prevents her from giving in entirely.]


If it’s not him. If it’s not the faces of ones I’ve lost, I don’t think I want it.

[She hasn’t quite connected that might be the letting go that she needs to do.]

…So I’m on my own? But you’ll support in your own way? I can live with that.

[Ash for her part waits in that eerie silence.

...Did she piss off the eldritch being?]


What do you know about them?

[It takes a little bit of piecing together but she comes to a sudden realization.]

Wait- Do you want me to replace them?

You can't bring them back so you want me to replace them?

...The family- The sustenance you were talking about... Is that you? Or do you mean the others here?
