[Open] Price is simple, Rather sparing. Time is slipping.

Who: Bill Cipher + Arya Stark + and YOU!
Where: IN YOUR D R E A M S-- no, literally.
When: During Sleep Curse event
Rating: PG at worst, will follow up.
Summary: A catch all for the Sleep event! Bill has a deal to make and dreams to visit! Need a companion in your comatose slumber? Want someone to laugh at you while drinking a martini while you angst about your regrets in the nightmare fire room? LOOK NO FURTHER!
The Story:

[Catch all OTA:]

Bill watched the communicator with rapt attention.
It's a crying shame it had already been announced the Sleep spell would last a mere 24 hours. Having a surplus of hostages he alone could communicate with would have made for a great bargaining chip! Still, not a total loss. He has more than a few people he has been intending to visit, and now makes for the perfect time.
In fact, with this amount of people falling prey to Henry's curse and unexpected dreamscapes cropping up left and right, it's getting a little harder than usual to navigate them. Bill wouldn't be surprised if he wound up in an entirely different dream than the one he intended. Those new rooms of pure misery and hellfire certainly looked entertaining!
Who knows, maybe you might even walk in on him.

[Closed to Arya]:
From the moment she first answered his call it seemed this was destined to happen. So ready to ask questions, to curious for answers-- so vulnerable a state. Bill barely needed to impose any will at all in tugging Arya Stark's conversation in his needed direction. She was ready to make a deal.

Peering into the girl's memories, Bill reached for something familiar and comforting. A large room with thick fabric-laden chairs, with wooden floors and a roaring fire. That was just the tip of the triangle, of course! As a bonus he kept the atmosphere loose enough for the girl to bend the room's make-up however she pleased. A bit of trust to help ease her in. Didn't want to scare off his first customer in Wonderland, after all!

Both parties had a bit too much of something to gain.

"I gave that star away," Nageki explains. Everything worked out in the end, so he doesn't regret that decision. It isn't as though he could have known why the King wanted the gem at that point.

But if imagining the planisphere created it...

He ignores Bill in favor of imagining the library he spent five years haunting. It's an ordinary library with wooden tables and desks for students to study at. A hand drawn manga sits on one of the tables with Nageki's editing notes penciled in. The shelves holds books with small St. Pigeonation's stickers on their spines. The windows look new, as though they were recently replaced. The information desk has some books in it as well, though they look untouched. And though Nageki never felt it himself, he knows that they library is very cold. Enough to freeze birds in the middle of summer despite the fact that the air conditioning is turned off.

It worked. The familiar scenery lets Nageki relax, though it would be difficult for even someone who knows him to tell. He does frown at the door, but he's mostly pleased with the result.

"Someone else wrote it and asked me to help him with it." Nageki doesn't know very much about manga, but he does his best to offer constructive criticism. He can tell when a sentence structure or weird or when there's a plot hole that needs to be fixed or when the author is using the story for wish fulfillment.

Of course, the manga quickly becomes the least of Nageki's concerns when Bill points out the flames. The books might not be real, but Nageki still can't risk letting them burn. He quickly tugs the curtains away and does his best to smother the flames. Once that's taken care of, he starts pulling the books away from the shelves lining the wall and places them on the information desk in the center of the room. He might have tried to move the shelves as well, but Nageki knows he doesn't have the strength to accomplish such a feat.

Nageki looks for anything else that might be flammable to keep it away from the fire. "This is a dream. I just have to keep it controlled until it's time to wake up."

He glances out the window. The sun will rise when morning comes, won't it?

Nageki winces at the nickname, which brings up memories Nageki would rather avoid, and focuses on the image Bill shows him instead. He isn't quite sure what to make of the fact that he can see himself slumped against on of the tables in Wonderland's library, wings frozen halfway through closing a book. He's used to the idea that he doesn't really have a body and yet...

"Then how can I leave?" he asks with a frown.

"Compensation?" In what way can Nageki help a floating triangle?

"Right." Nageki dislikes being trapped, but he also wants to know as much about his options as he can before he makes a decision.
