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).

Questions

[bravenewmods]

[psychicsister]

Is there a danger level for the dream world, and do we still request bonds there on the map page as normal?

Re: Questions

[thefloorislava]

Do Pokémon come with their owners in the dreams, or are they alone? Or can they accompany our characters if the pokémon are also sleeping?

[bladeisme]

okay, so! Just covering my bases, but dreams can easily turn into nightmares, right?

And if they can, then I'd like to ask if I can have a nightmare pertaining to Ichigo's vague memories, aka running around in a blurred, vague city that has equally vague pokemon attacking people / other dreamers. nothing distinct, just a lot of panic and 'fff POKEMON ATTACKING' kind of thing.

[makeitquick]

So you bring the five Warp band ones in, but if one bonds with a pokemon in the Dream World, at least until you wake up next does that one hang around as a sixth or would it need to replace one of the five?

[isreallyasun]

By "the dreamer has the least amount of lucidity" with regards to their own dream. Does that mean they don't realize that they are dreaming while in that space?

Re: Questions

[usedstringshot]

What would someone see if they got up above the treetops. Just the forest going on forever?

Plotting

[bravenewmods]

[brandnewshoes]

I was planning to have Estelle hop between them! I may do a dream with her and have her in the dream world, too.

For the final week, she'll be in the real world. So if you want a group, I am game!

Re: Plotting

[wherenoonegoes]

Hiccup'll be in and out of the dreamworld, along with Toothless, before staying in the real world during the next week. I plan on having his Snorlax, Heavyweight, be dreaming of beds made of food.

[spiritofgluttony]

Tohka will be in the real world both weeks.

Kyoko will be in the Dream World both weeks.

Mei will be in the Dream World for week one, and in the real world for week two.

If anyone wants to plot or group up, feel free to ask!

[unbalancedlove]

Kotori's dream will be a literal candyland full of macarons, chocolate rivers and that stuff so if anyone is interested in sweetness between nightmares let me know~ she'll be in the real world for the last week though.

[evokedorpheus]

For Minato
I'm planning on having him in and out of the dream world during the first week, but during the final week, he's going to be stuck in the dream world. During the first week, I'll be putting up a dream for him for sure.

For Natalia
She's also going to be in and out of the dream world during the first week as well, but during the final week, she'll be staying in the real world. I'm not sure whether or not I'll put up any dreams for her, but it may happen.

If you want to have any of your characters be in a group with either of these two, let me know! :>

Re: Plotting

[ladyofluminosity]

Lux

For the first week, Lux will be exclusively in the Dream World. She will be looking for people that she knows, as well as the dreams of those who she knows, but generally I'm thinking she'll have a hard time connecting with people. She will be returning to the real world for week 2. Her dreams will generally be very heroic adventures, possibly riding on the backs of giant, make-believe pokemon, and having daring sword fights.

Cordelia

Cordelia will be in the real world for both weeks. Her dreams will vary wildly between incredibly mundane (going to work, normal every day stuff), to sweeping, romantic affairs. Think over-dramatic romance novel things, but completely clean. She also appears a bit more feminine in these particular dreams, for reasons.

Nozomi

Nozomi will be in the Dream World for both weeks. Open for groups here.

Elly

For the first week, Elly will be going in and out of the Dream World. Her dreams will not be pleasant, and mostly involve bits of her past. Occasionally she'll have the random frolicking in a field with cute fluffy pokemon deal, but most of it is pretty downer city. Week 2 she'll be in the Dream World exclusively. I'm open to groups.

[roadroller]

Rin will probably be hopping between worlds, I haven't decided which one she will settle on but mmmay be leaning toward real world? I just want her to be in dream world long enough to get a pumpkaboo tbh

Re: Plotting

[realmenknitplushies]

Kanji'll be in and out for the first week, and going dream world the second week.

Expect pleasant dreams about oversized plushies and similar cuteness, maybe a hot springs visit. However, sadder dreams will also be the order of the day when his father shows up in them. If he meets anyone during those, he's going to be rather defensive...

Possibly more symbolic stuff, too, but still working that out. Ahaha.

[celebrity_commentator]

Rise will be mostly in the Dream World the first week and entirely there the second week. Expect some weird stuff and some psychologically significant nightmares about her former career and "usefulness" in her current role.

I'm also looking for a group for the Dream-side log - having a telepathic Psychic along should be helpful, right?

Isabela will have a couple of weird dreams the first week and then be outside for the second. I have less ideas here but won't say no to teamups either.

Plotting

[underwearfortomorrow]

Eiji: Eiji will be in and out of the dream world for week one and then in the dream world for week two. He'll mostly be running around with sailor senshi but if you stumble into his dreams you have a pretty good chance of getting trapped in reliving The Fire from a year or so ago. (Hope you like burning orphanages and people dying!) Otherwise Eiji has a lot of flying dreams where he's flying around with his pokemon.

Norman: Norman will be in the real world! His dreams are typically reenactments from scary stage and radio plays that he really likes. The Hauntering, Night of the Living Banette, etc etc. Spooky but nothing really that scary.

[makeitquick]

Melaka will be hopping between the Dream World and reality in the first week. Love for her to see other people's stuff, love for her to have people see her stuff, get some implications in on her own trauma maybe. Good show, excellent.

She'll be in the real world final week so a group collection there might be nice too.

[second_destiny]

Asemu will be in and out of the Dream World this week. His dreams will range from melancholy remembrances to happy futures and nightmares, but the overlying theme in all of them will be Asemu's fear of losing the people important to him. Some of them may even involve a twintailed redhead that some of you might be familiar with.

I'm undecided on the second week, so hit me up if you've got any ideas.

Re: Plotting

[bejustorbedead]

I'm thinking with Ky he will go in and out of the dream world and his dreams will range from silly "Went to work without my pants" to more serious being lost/alone as a little kid nightmares.

Also tempted to give some of his Pokemon up for dreams!
