Back on my Furby bullshit care of the discord crew!! This time I bring you the Corinthian aka Corby~

But that's not all (/ ☆ A☆)/~~

Beware the EXTRA Cursed™️teef version!

Ah yes, you came through for the 100-octane nightmare fuel! Welcome~(❁´◡`❁)

As thanks for coming through, here's a lil story inspired by the folks on Discord who posited that Cori would absolutely love this lil terror and keep it as a pet!

Dream had been looking for his nightmare for the better part of a day when he finally found him yet again in the Waking. Since his remaking the Corinthian had been far more docile, as far as any nightmare might be anyway, so it came as a shock for his nightmare to have wandered so far again. While he hadn't expressly forbidden his creation from leaving the Dreaming, he was still wary to let the Corinthian wander among the dreamers again...given what had happened with his last incarnation. Still he was willing to hold judgment until he saw just what his nightmare was up to. With a flick of his wrist and a spray of sand, Dream stepped forth from his realm into the Waking, straight into the middle of a bustling lakeside park. The sound of various conversations filled the air alongside the squeals of children splashing in the shallows off the sandy beach beyond the line of picnic tables shaded by oversized patio umbrellas. Casting his eyes about Dream immediately picked out his golden-hued creation...and the youthful form of his nephew, Jed. Ahh, an indulgence in his sweet tooth and a visit, Dream thought. He smiled at the scene and the still unexpectedly caring side of his nightmare on display until he noted the alarmed looks the pair were receiving from the surrounding humans. His small smile faltered as he began picking out snippets of what was said by the people who hastened away from his nightmare and nephew like they were cursed.

"Did you see that?!" "What the fuck is that!?" "I thought those things were creepy enough without all these outrageous mods!" "I'm going to have nightmares for months!! That's straight-up nightmare fuel!?" It was the last whispered comment that urged Dream to cross the intervening space in an instant. That mortals would so plainly perceive one of his creations was not to be bor- However, arriving at the table, the King of Nightmares though he may be, Dream, himself, had to pause as he took in the abomination that sat on the table between his nephew and the Corinthian. Begrudgingly he admitted to none but himself that he would have to take notes as the surrounding dreamers' assessment of the...creature...was not inaccurate. It certainly would not look odd among his creations, though, he had to wonder where this monstrosity came from or what had seen to its creation. His nightmare however barely paused in his consumption of his cone as he acknowledged Dream's sudden appearance. "Finally caught up then? I'd wondered when you'd turn up to call me back, my Lord." The Corinthian smirked up at him between licks of his ice cream. "As you can see, I'm just enjoying a cone with my pal. Isn't that right, Jed?" "Mmmmhm," Jed replied, oblivious to the horror of those around and seemingly unaffected by the creature on the table as he continued to eat his cone with a smile. Dream sighed and, flipping the long tails of his coat out of the way, sat down next to his nightmare. "I am not here to call you back as it were. If you had been up to aught that you should not, I would, however, as Jed is enjoying himself and all is well," Dream paused and looked at the disturbing tri-mouthed creature pointedly, "there is no such need." Tracking Dream's gaze, the Corinthian grinned to the point of splitting his face and though his glasses concealed his eye mouths, Dream knew they were mirrored the same manic delight. "Ah, my pet! It's the cutest thing you've ever seen now isn't it?" The nightmare's eyes would be twinkling with mischief if he had standard-issue eyeballs, but revealed itself in the scrunch of his nose instead. "I can see it's not one of yours given your reaction to it. I'd almost wondered if you'd created it as a gift for me, your favorite. 'Course that'd be too bold for you. Can't be showing favoritism now can you?" Dream decidedly did not squirm at that apt assessment, for the Corinthian was indeed his 'favorite' as such things went. He was without a doubt his masterpiece after all. "Certainly not. Still, I would have you explain where you found this...not nightmare." The Corinthian shrugged and bit into his cone, all the ice cream now gone. "Not much to tell. When I stepped through into the Waking and hopped in a car to go pick up Jed, there it was. Sitting pretty in the passenger seat wearing its seat belt all proper to boot. Given the striking resemblance between us though..." Trailing off, the nightmare licked his fingers free of crumbs and ice cream now that he'd finished his cool treat. "I suppose it could be an aspect of me? Though, you giving me the 'power' of creation seems a stretch." The Nightmare King simply nodded as he held the toothy gaze of the furry creature until it stuck three small, pink tongues out at him in a flash before returning to an eerily vacuous countenance. "Hmmm, it certainly is of you and despite my not directly forming it, it is of me as well." Nightmare licked his lips and turned a hungry smirk upon his Corinthian. "It is ours, my little nightmare." This last practically purred as he traced the blonde's jaw, even as Jed made a gagging sound at the obvious flirting between his uncle and 'uncle' Cori.
