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!

Romeo: BOOK DREAM BOOK DREAM BOOK DREAM. I am so there. Also interesting in Nita cameo-ing in the picnic dream, though tossing her at the nightmare might be worth a go too.

Little One: Having the chase scene cut through Nita's dream could be fun - suddenly some of the locales are even STRANGER alien worlds. ... Might do an overlap with an actual thing Nita lived through, where she helped chase down a kernel through a planet's own mantel. Sound good?

Taiki: I'm thinking flower crowns. Loads of flower crowns, and everyone can hear the flowers sing! Nita talks to plants, this is totally canon what are you talking about?

... Also you summoned me with Horror Door. I am up for plotting on that as well!

Idea: Book dream where they start in a library (Romeo lived in a library in his last game), dive through a book and go on into one of Nita's crazy dream worlds but it plays out like a fairy tale.

Chasing a mystery figure through a planets mantel sounds wonderful.

Singing flowers, extreme fear/awe auras and mandated happiness sounds like a perfect crazy dream.

And yes let's plot for horror!

First idea - YES. Nita has lived out Irish mythology and the mythologies of other planets. This being a dream, she probably wouldn't even question it; wizards are practically quest-knights of old anyway.

That or she can be a queen who has visions of the future. Or she can be BOTH, and switch between them without noticing! /scribbles furiously

Second idea - aaalso glorious~ You'd think it would burn being inside a planet with all that pressure, but it's dulled down because DREAM.

Third idea - yes yes yes! And if anyone tries to explore *why* everything is fine in this world, everything just resets...

And speaking of horror: loved ones dying and not being able to stop it or ease the pain, getting eaten by a shark and having agreed to do so lest the world end in earthquakes, getting possessed and becoming something that is Not You while all the time being assured that this is just how it is...

The last one's not specifically Nita's nightmare, just some fridge horror about becoming a Power versus how Ascension works in Nautilus. And of course, there is the Pullulus replacing the Void and consuming the Train and all those aboard!

Any of those sound especially good?

Romeo would love to be a quest night, and shifting queen sounds fun!

LO doesn't understand physics so she doesn't even need dream logic for chasing someone through a planets core. Sounds legit.

For horror. People dying and not being able to stop it sounds like a good angle if Nita has those themes too. Because Taiki has those themes in extremis.

Awww yeah. We have PLANS.

CONFUSING plans~ /double-thumbs-up

Horror: YUP. Whoever's dying can swap between bodies - Nita's mother to Gyousou, then to hapless bystanders... Kit Rodriguez can be there too.

It's a dream. It represents the IDEAL of the dying person they can't help!
