A/N: Random concept, I know. May actually work with this, as I do still have idea.
I do not own TWEWY or NiD.
"Hey, are you okay?" slipped through the fog that was his mind, accompanied by a sharp jab in his side. He let out a groan. His head hurt, but he forced his senses past that and noticed the ground he was laying on was stiff and cold- wait, when had he ended up on the ground? He fished his mind for answers, but couldn't account for his current situation. He shook the lingering fog from his mind, and reluctantly staggered to his feet, rather undignified. He rubbed at his eyes and blinked them open.
The first sight his eyes beheld was a large humanoid figure adorned in purple and pink hovering before him with worried blue eyes. The act of hovering did not put him off as, heck, all his shinigami subordinates, and himself included could do the same. However, this creature didn't seem to be related to the Noise, so what is it?
"Hello? Earth to visitor?" the humanoid, who upon closer inspection resembled a jester, cut into his thoughts.
"Hm?" he acknowledged the purple jester, while absentmindedly reaching into his pocket for his coveted orange phone. "Wait, 'visitor'?"
"Ah, now I've got your attention. People like you who come to the Night Dimension from another world are called visitors. Welcome to the world of dreams." At this, the jester did a mock bow.
"So, does that mean.."'was what I just experienced a nightmare? It felt so real..'
"What did you say?"
"Nothing important." He tried his best to derail the conversation. "So, native, what exactly is this place?" For the first time, he spared a glance to his surroundings and noticed he stood in a courtyard-like area. In the center was an ornate fountain. The courtyard itself was surrounded by woodland, and at the edge of the walkway were what looked like 'door frames?'
"My name is NiGHTS, please," The native looked annoyed at being called 'native,' he figured about as much as if someone addressed him as 'japanese person'. "And this is the Dream Gate. If visitors posses an ideya, then the door to Nightopia will appear."
"Wha-" he wanted to ask about this too, but was cut off.
"No, no, no. If you want to play twenty questions I suggest you seek the boring old owl. I'm not going to tell you anymore.. unless you tell me your name, ..maybe." NiGHTS was obviously an impatient person, he concluded.
"Alright, I'll give." He gave an uninterested shrug. "Most everybody calls me Joshua."
