Dream World Event - OOC

[bravenewmods]

For the next two weeks, characters will be drawn into the Dream World. While ICly this is uncontrolled, OOCly for the first week players may choose at any given time whether or not their character is inside or outside, and they can shift between worlds multiple times within the course of the day or even several hours as desired. Characters drawn into the Dream World vanish entirely from the real world, appearing to slowly fade and then vanish if observed. Typically people vanish while sleeping, but those who are awake may feel themselves overcome with a strange lassitude that compels them to slow down to stop and rest. As they slow, they will vanish and awaken on the other side.

The Dream World itself conforms to most rules of the physical world. You do not need to sleep, but you do need to eat, and the perception of the flow of time is strange within it. The Dream World possesses pockets of “neutral space” that appear as soft, somewhat faded areas of wilderness abounding with berry trees. They’re peaceful, completely safe, and the berries held within are delicious and nutritious. Surrounding the neutral spaces are swirling mists; walking through them will bring the characters into the dreams of someone sleeping in the Real World. Inside these dreams they may interact with and even manipulate, to some degree, the dreams they enter. While inside a dream, they can generate and exert influence over the flow of the dream through force of will, conjuring objects and changing events. If multiple people are inside the dream, they may find themselves in contention over control of the dream. The dreamer may also be present in the dream and has the greatest degree of control over the dream, but since they are sleeping, they also have the least amount of lucidity. As such things might get a bit strange. Dream World wanderers can be expelled from a dream if the dreamer wishes it strongly enough, so do try to play nice! Any injuries sustained within an actual dream will not carry over into the Dream World or the Real World, although injuries sustained in Neutral Space will be retained. Dreams may also be generated by a character’s Pokemon, if desired. They follow the same general rules but will probably be a lot less coherent and a lot more food-based.

The Dream World will also have a few Pokemon wandering within it! They can often be encountered within Neutral Space or even inside dreams themselves, and are available for bonding. All of the following Pokemon may be bonded with as per normal bonding rules for any character inside the Dream World:

Gastly, Drowzee, Munna, Spiritomb, Ralts, Noctowl, Pumpkaboo

During the final week, positions within the Dream World and the Real World will be locked as we move into the end of the event. Additionally, characters will be able to sign up for the final event logs which will bring about the conclusion. Logs will be available for characters on both sides. Please sign up below for your final position at the end of the event and if you wish to take part in the final logs. Additionally, please break into smaller groups of 3-6, if desired you may sign up for randomization which will be rolled on October 23rd.

If there are any further questions, please feel free to ask below! As a final note, dreams can be strange and interesting things, if you expect your character’s dreams to get a bit racey please put up a warning and put all such content under a cut.

Edit: You may not take more than a full Warp Band of Pokemon into the Dream World (7 for Far from Ordinary, 3 for God of War, 5 for everyone else).
