Event: Breach! OOC Info and Plotting

This months on-train event is on the 8th and 9th of February.

On day twenty of the month of Domino an incident on the train will lead to everyone on board succumbing to a strange sleep. This sleep is no ordinary sleep and will result in bizarre dreams, bizarre shared dreams with their fellow passengers.

Dream with Me

Dreams can be about anything you wish them to be! Bare in mind that due to the nature of the void these dreams will be strange and surreal, even if your character normally dreams lucidly. You are very welcome to use people, places and moments from your characters lives before the train to shape their dreams but nothing will be quite as expected. There will be no pure-memories. For example: They may see their very important person but the dream will be set on one of the worlds they have visited on the train.

Of course it is no dream event without the ability of treading through each others dreams and passengers will find themselves in many dreams throughout the event, tumbling from one to another with no real transition between them. Nothing will strike them as strange whilst they are dreaming. There will be some general dream ideas in the opening post- dreams that all can share.

Characters will dream all of day twenty and will wake up in their beds on day twenty one, no worse for wear. There will be a final dream/vision for passengers to see, if you wish them to!

Anticipated Questions

My character does not/cannot dream. Can I take part? Yes! Due to the nature of the void characters who do not usually dream will be able to this time. If you find it too strange to write their own dreams you may want them just to wander into other passengers dreams.

Can my character stay awake? No, all characters will be sleeping. If you don't wish your character to dream that is fine! They will sleep a dreamless sleep and wake with the others on day twenty one.

Will passengers remember the dreams? Yes they will! It will be a bit muddled, all the dreams merging into one swirl of confusing dream-time. But you are welcome for them to remember snippets of information, special conversations, anything else you wish, within that dream swirl.

Do the dreams have to be good? No! They can be nightmares if you wish! Obviously use common sense and make sure to mark anything that needs content warnings!

If you have any questions please ask them below. There will be a mod- post event starter on the 8th February and then an ooc event end post, detailing the final optional vision for characters waking up on the 10th February.

Have fun planning your dreams!

To open, this event is my jam, so anyone willing to crash Nita's dreams and find anything from people turning into animals to an even more bizarre version of the Crossings (but with TRAINS), is very welcome to~

There is also some dark shit people can stumble upon (which will, of course, be CW'd if it comes up - her mother died of cancer, for one, and Nita has not led a peaceful life in service of the Powers. Encountering the Lone Power is also an option, which is never pleasant unless you find the snarky one in a gilded cage. You can let Her out even, though that's not a good idea. In Nautilus, there was also the time AM kidnapped her, and the time people transformed into plants...).

And then there's the peridexis, and some extra content in that direction if people try to harm Nita.

ETA: ALSO in her canon there is a thing known as the Pullulus - one of the Lone Power's weapons that even It is reluctant to wield. Canonically, it pushes apart the hyperstrings reality itself is hung upon, filling reality with more of itself. It also makes it harder to think clearly - over time, the only emotions normal people can be in touch with are negative ones. Paranoia and threats of nuclear war abounded on Earth during the time it was used, and the rest of the galaxy wasn't that far behind. Wizardry itself was also messed with, and if the Pullulus had been allowed to continue existing there would have been, say, supernovas, as well as fundamental laws like light and gravity going wonky.

Think of an even more nightmareish version of the Void, and you get this, basically. This is only for those who REALLY want to crash a nightmare, though; it doesn't have to come up this storm at all if people would Rather Not.

I'd be up for a real nightmare.

With any of mine really.

/cackles excitedly, readies her CWs/

Might want to keep plotting to the other thread, though.

So where would Dairine end up if she visited dream Nautilus?

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-02-10 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say the Western District, with its red sky and Cybertronian architecture, though the beach+ocean in the East is more distinctive.

Anything viewable here is fair game, though!

I might actually go for the beach to start.

I spot a Jedi temple. I know where Dairine's interests lie.
