@Vregory: The only way to find out is to move your butt right now and search each rooms of the mansion. Hopefully, they aren't locked or else that should pose another problem.
There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.

@Millet: Are the rooms titled in any sort of fashion?
Titled? Humm..... they look fancy.
Can you feel anything? Pinch yourself real quick.
Vreg questions why he should but proceeds to try pinching himself Ouch yes is pri...pree... humm... it steams.
This is a lucid nightmare, so is it possible you can force your friend back with your own dream powers?
He remains thoughtful for a second. Is she ok... maybe if I help is not nightmare anymore... i don't have a friend Lucy but i can help.
@Fielkun: Ok.... I dunno which way to go is so big...

@vregory: Can you see what is in any of the doors?
@priestess of pie: Can you see what is in any of the doors?
Hummm... They're all closed, but maybe not locked? Oh, I see one down the hall is open. Is dark, scary.

You gotta @Mention me.
@Vregory: It's not dark when you have a flashlight.
And would you look at that, you have one right there in your hand!
Let's go check out that open door.

@rallaa: Oh where'd that come from ok He fiddles with it a little too long before finding the switch, shining it into the empty room.
Humm... It looks familiar I see things I remember. Is a room. He nods, letting you see too. It is a room, with a large portrait on the wall. There are four figures in the painting, but three of them are merely silhouettes. The only one you can see is what appears to be a young Vregory, looking sadder than his usual carefree attitude.
There is also a comfortable looking chair, a desk, a curtained window, an unlit fireplace, potted plants, and a carpet in this room.

@Vregory: Fancy room. Almost like a mansion.
Is there a candlestick on the fireplace mantle?
Fancy rooms with fireplaces often have a secret switch disguised as a candlestick.
Try pulling it.

@rallaa: Humm... I see a candle. Vreg walks over to the fireplace, moving to pull the candle... Only for it to lift up into his hand. it seems to be just a decoration.
Oh did I break it?
Oh did I break it?
You gotta @Mention me.
No no, you didn't break it. Don't worry.
...Is it at least pretty?
We saw a closed curtain, right?
Let's check what's outside.

Yeah is nice. Vregory gently puts it back before walking over the the large curtains, drawing them wide open. Outside is a mass of swirling colours and nothingness, causing the man to tilt his head curiously.
Hummmmm.... That's not normal I think I'm sleeping.

@vregory: What is this room Vreg? It is your dream after all. Why do you look so sad in the portrait?

"Sad... hummm is hard to remember" He fumbles around, as if looking for something "Oh... Eugene isn't here... when I was little he wasn't here either." Thinks about his own choice of words for a minute, then resumes, looking a little sad himself now. "Is like before... I dont wanna stay here they were mean here."

@Vregory: Don't worry, Vreg. We won't let them be mean to you again.
We'll get out of here and find Eugene.
Does the desk have drawers? I bet there is something useful inside them.

@rallaa: Humm ok... He nods, but seems very uncertain of your words. You can tell he's distressed, but tries to move on with a distraction.
Ok lemme check. Vregory moves over to the desk drawer, trying to tug it open. It doesn't budge at first, but after a few swift tugs it suddenly flies open with unseen force, emanating a bright light. Blinking to get his sight back, Vregory peers into the drawer, finding a single key. "Oh this looks good." He grabs it, and now has a shiny key.

Perhaps that is the key to the locked door from before.

@Rallaa: Ok, sounds like good idea.
Vregory goes towards the door, he tries placing the key on the lock and turns it, a sound echoing as it gets unlocked. Vreg starts to turn the knob, but hesitates wondering what comes next and hoping it would all be over.
I hope is something good.
He opens the door slowly and peeks in meanwhile, noticing nothing interesting on the room. In fact, it was completely empty. He walks inside carefully to get a better look, but upon letting go of the door it closes shut behind him. He looks back startled and tries to open it again to no avail.
O-oh... is closed... this is scary I don't like it...
He sits on the floor, hugging his legs for comfort since his rat friend wasn't around.

@vregory: Don't be scared. We're here with you. (◕▿◕✿) Tell me about how you and Eugene first met.

The room is completely empty?
Are the walls and floor similar to before?
Or is everything white now?

"Is so dark and... I-I met Eugene when I..."
Vreg started to hear an echoing sound growing near, and lowered his head trying to hide himself more. The sound of a heel impacting a cold hard floor grew louder. Even that seemed very familiar, and Vreg started to feel all the more stressed and small. The step stopped right in front of him, but he didn't dare look up.
"Vregory, what have I told you about sitting on the floor!?" Boomed a distorted, yet familiar voice. Without a thought, Vreg responded.
"M-mam... but is scary."
"Don't be absurd, get up and stop your nonsense. I don't have time for this, come on." As a demanding hand extended towards him, Vreg got up and hesitantly looked up to the figure. It stood tall opposite of him, towering over him as he took the form of the same scared child inside the framed picture. He couldn't make out any features, but was more scared about not following orders. Vreg lifted a trembling hand to reach out for the other's, but before he could make a connection, he jolts back awake, in his own bed.
"...h-huh..." Eugene squeaked and ran to Vreg's shoulder, rubbing his face against his friend's in comfort.
"Eugene I'm so happy you're here..." He looked around to enjoy his comfortable and familiar environment, it seemed not a lot of time had passed, despite feeling like hours. As Vregory took in his surrondings, Eugene squeaked to explain that he was woken up by a concerning shuffle and has sprang to action to wake Vregory up. He succeeded as he found a strange device forcing this dream state, and with his brute rat force, destroyed.
Vregory smiled lazy in comfort as he listened to his friend's story, "Thanks Eugene, it was scary... it was so real and... hummm... I forgot what happened... is ok let's go back to sleep is good since you are here." He settled into his comfy friend, cuddling with his rat protector as he smiled contently, and had a peaceful dream.
