▶ PLOTTING.017


Autumn starts to seep through the planet as the weather begins to cool. A comfortable breeze ruffles your clothing, and the eager twittering of summer birds has been replaced with the sounds of squirrels and other creatures vigorously foraging about. The first signs of fall are rapidly transforming the city as browning trees start to shed their leaves en masse, resulting in the streets and sidewalks having to be vigorously swept up by Swiffy bots. Pumpkins and apples are now the markets’ most popular harvests, and plenty of locations are turning into pleasant autumn-themed hangout spots. Bring a friend or a date and enjoy that pumpkin prism latte!



Hey! Listen!
09/25 | top

It’s surreptitious at first. Something you hardly notice until you spot it out of the corner of your eye. A few pumpkins start to move on their own, seemingly scuttling down the sidewalks and following you as you run your errands. The closer they get to you, the more you hear something that sounds like the beating of small bird wings inside of them along with “squee” sounds.

If this series of tiny noises strikes you as familiar, that’s because it may not be your first encounter with these creatures. Some of you may recall these naughty pixies called Dreamweavers, who once let your fantasies be broadcast. Thoughts of vengeance or anxiety may run through your mind, but don’t fret! This time, they’re not here to cause trouble.

 A  The Dreamweavers plead for the Moonblessed’s help and will go through great lengths to get it. The more you ignore them, the more they will pester you with their magic. They might turn you into the size of Thumbelina, grant you dazzling rainbow hair, or glimmering long, painted nails with color and coating that won’t come off no matter how hard you scrub.

Should you listen, they promise lots of gifts in return. Yes, gifts! Of course, you know pixies aren’t always honest so you may choose to ignore them. However, responding to them negatively only angers them, prompting them to use silver dust that grants you extremely horrible luck for days until you apologize. Your crush might not notice your advances, or something always goes wrong with your wooing attempts. Do you have a secret snack stash? It’s always gone now. Each time you check, a pile of cockroaches is feasting on it. Birds might suddenly decide to make you their favorite toilet. The list goes on.


As long as there’s at least one Moonblessed rejecting their cries for help, Dreamweavers will continue flooding Lunatia to pester everybody. Some pixies will even cast a spell to cause you to walk endlessly down a street without reaching your destination or cause your apartment to suddenly turn upside down. As always, this might be sated temporarily with a little moonlacing!





Nightmare on Lunatia Street
09/26 - 09/29 | top

Despite all the ruckus, your sleep or resting cycle is undisturbed from the Dreamweavers’ antics. Rather, you find yourself sinking deeper into your dreams than ever before. Even those averse to sleep suddenly can slip into a sound slumber within minutes.

You start having vivid haunted visions of the past or of your greatest fears. However, you won’t stir at all even if someone attempts to wake you, remaining practically comatose. Some may experience suddenly being pursued by a strange cycloptic creature, whose eerie steps rattle through the depths of your soul as your nightmares continue.

 B  When you wake up, a visceral pain jolts through your body. Large wounds and bruises now appear all over your body. You may even find blood all over your clothes, and your body might have lost its strength. Chroma will have to be applied in critical doses to heal you back up, but you may be too shaken up to call for help.

More and more cases of people including locals with unexplained wounds appear as the days go on, and soon clinics across the city are filled with injured patients. The Lunatian government will warn everyone not to fall asleep for as long as possible while investigations are ongoing.

Unfortunately, something is making that difficult, and you just can’t fight the exhaustion no matter how hard you try. Thankfully, caffeine and good company help you stay awake. Prismals are doing their part to contribute by playing loud dance music across the streets. Dreamweavers will frequently honk car horns especially in late hours.






We Need to Go Deeper
09/29 - 09/30 | top

When the Dreamweavers finally manage to garner enough attention, they will tell everyone that something frightening has invaded their domain. As their name implies, these pixies mostly live inside the dreams of living beings, only occasionally popping out to visit when it strikes their fancy.

In the realm of dreams, an unknown distortion had appeared a few days ago, releasing an abyssal creature they call Dreameater. The Dreameater has been rapidly destroying their kind in order to stop them from creating pleasant dreams and fantasies, leaving only nightmares in their wake.

To defeat this abomination, Moonblessed will have to enter inside one another’s dreams with the help of pixie magic.

 C  Any Moonblessed may volunteer to become a Dreamer. The Dreamers will act as a guide around their own dreamscapes. They’ll also be able to provide some aid if they have a strong enough control on their imagination. During their sleep, they may stay somewhere safe to be looked over by someone they trust or they can stay in one of the clinics to have a Lunatian take care of them.

The Divers heading inside the dreams must protect the Dreamer at all cost. If the Dreamer dies in their sleep, they will also die in reality along with all of the Divers with them.

The Dreameater roams across people’s imaginations, existing within multiple dreams at once. It can only be truly defeated after every one of its existence is slain across the dreamscapes. As a monster born from nightmares, it thrives off negative energies and becomes more powerful the more the Dreamer is in agony. This abomination will purposely take the shape of anything that will deeply scar the Dreamer, meaning its abilities depend on what form it will take. Pleasant memories or experiences will need to shine to stop it from causing too much damage or chaos!


Once the Dreameater is defeated, the perpetrator reveals themselves in everyone’s dreams later that night. He declares himself as Aracht, the sleeping (but now awakened) one-eyed giant.


Aracht: Beast of Sloth

Yawn... A thousand years already? Aww... I’m out of Chroma again... Hope you don’t mind if I take some from you. It’s okay... The Dreameater got it aaall while you were fast asleep... Hehehe.

Yawn... Destroying the world is a pain. If everyone could give me their Chroma, that would be nice... Saves me the work... Zzz...


Aracht then exits your dream, leaving you confused, and you wake up in a cold sweat the morning after.

As promised, the Dreamweavers will send their gifts as a reward for restoring everyone’s peaceful dreams. The pixies will bless a boon of great luck (the exact opposite of Prompt A) and an extra satisfying dream that night that might be shared between one or more Moonblessed. You may need to change the sheets the next morning. One can only hope your neighbors didn’t hear anything, though we can’t say much about whoever you dreamt with or about.


NOTES
LUCK ▶ The degree of bad and good luck is left to player discretion. The bad luck effect may be as harmless as accidentally dropping your ice cream cone on the road.

PAIN ▶ Similar to above, this is also left to player discretion. It may be as minor as receiving a small set of scratches or simply playing out the exhaustion if this is preferred.

DREAMEATER ▶ As stated on the log, its abilities depend on what form it will take. A specific character may be played out as the Dreameater long as they’re not currently in the game. Deceased characters are allowed. Playing an original villain is allowed.


REMINDERS

Character: Andrew Kress | [personal profile] tombguard
Moonblessing: Iris
Smut Preferences: Over here. He hasn't really had much chances to explore beyond pretty basic things, so really this list is bigger than it looks. If there's anything you don't see you wanna try, let me know!
Log Plans:
Hey! Listen!! | He definitely won't be up for believing the dreamweavers after his last experience with them and will likely be ignoring them, so he'll probably get stuck in some unfortunate circumstances. He'll likely be willing to do some minor moonlacing to get rid of it, or to help someone else if they need it. Maybe even some nasty bad luck for mouthing off as he tends to do. Getting splashed in stray puddles, getting stuck in an endless street loop trying to go home, you know the works.
Nightmare on Lunatia Street || Andrew suffers from some bad nightmares at the worst of times, so now they'll be extra nasty. He's used to being in pain, but it might be a little much to deal on his own, so some healing moonlacing would be good. Definitely will go to great lengths to stay awake and will be more tolerant of people's company if it makes it easier to deal with, especially if you're in the same boat.
We Need To Go Deeper || Unfortunately, he'll have no desire to be a dreamer, mainly due to his trauma and the fact he wants to keep it from other people. There are things in his past he definitely would prefer nobody ever know, for his own sanity. There is a slim chance he might go diving, but he's relatively useless in that sort of situation, unfortunately.

The extra satisfying dream after, though, I'm interested whether it's something warmhearted or a little more explicit. Would be a good opportunity to throw him out to the wolves or experience something new. ✨✨✨

Log Plans: (Will I actually put up a log, I hope so.)

Hey! Listen He'll not assist and end up cursed with bad luck. Will he ask for forgiveness? He would rather die. Please appreciate the walking bad luck magnet. He will most likely almost get himself killed multiple times while just attempting to walk down the street.

Nightmare on Lunatia Street (BAROQUE SPOILERS) HEY WHO WANTS TO SEE SOME BAD TIMES? Sure! Bad time blues. I'd say there are two flavors! One is Archie's backstory of what made him get super fixated on wanting the save the world ... that would be his sister being murdered by his father. Or different flavor is that he's impaled on the Consciousness Orb and the dark black nothing that slowly comes to fill all senses, wheeeeeeeee! It's a bad time and he only has one person that soothe it! It's Dextera! Only gets to be real pathetic in begging this dream Dextera not to be left alone! COME HANG WITH HIM. IT'S GREAT.

We need to go Deeper He could be either. Why not?

Hey! Listen Well, Pops is a little more patient and will actually help out and help anyone else out that would like him to do so.

We need to go Deeper. He'll be a Diver and time to save some people. And get the idea that he should join the Moon Knights so that he could have the ability to save more people.

Smut Preferences: No smut, please, but I'm here for soft things and CR development!
Log Plans: Definitely going to have Shouto put out a call offering emergency moonlacing and first aid for people who are waking up injured, and he's going to be a Dreamer in the second segment, fighting a Dreameater who looks like his dad :D I'm also planning on having him being assaulted by a bouncing pumpkin, because what is life without comedy. I would love new CR, teenager friends, Moon Knight friends (Shouto's a junior Moon Knight), and basically anything!

Character: Osamu Dazai | [personal profile] theartofdying

Log Plans: Dazai is definitely waking up at some point horribly wounded!! And he's gonna be doing his best to just not fall asleep at all afterwards. I'm down for whatever with him, otherwise I'll probably just yeet him into a few dreams and maybe give him some kind of annoying pixie curse where he keeps trying to just get some curry but a series of hilarious circumstances is preventing him.

Character: Daniel Dickens | [profile] pupula
Moonblessing: Iris
Smut Preferences: He's dating Grimm so he's not really open for smut right now.
Log Plans: Danny is going to offer the Second Nature clinic as a safe place to be at for dreamers and divers to come to, as well as generally monitoring any patients that have been injured severely from the first round of nightmares!

However, we are offering a slight catch: despite the fact that he's going to down 10 cups of caffeine practically injected into his veins, he can fall asleep at some point anyway and inadvertently become a dreamer with... not so great dreams that involve serial killing, more than likely. If you end up diving into his dream thinking he needs to be saved too, hopefully you're coming across him dealing with the dreameater rather than stumbling on him killing someone from his past, because otherwise he's going to be the one you actually need to worry about if he decides he needs to try to kill you too for witnessing it, if he thinks you're not buying his reasons for it.

After all, his worst fear right now isn't even dying anymore: it's getting outed in Lunatia that he was a serial killer back home and his life as a result becoming very difficult to live comfortably, so... yeah.

If it's the dreameater prompt, then hey, hopefully it'll involve actual teamwork fighting together against it! ... Unless it takes the form of his mother (or possibly Gray), in which case all bets are off as he is actually okay with letting the creature kill him in that instance. Whoops. Hopefully you kill it before it kills Danny??

So... yeah, if you want CR with Danny looking after people at the clinic before this happens, teaming up against the dreameater, or... want a means to get your character killed if you're looking for the opportunity?? Hit us up and we'll hash it out somehow.

Who knows, maybe she'll be nice for once and make him super caffeinated tea or something.
Maybe try some Twili magic on him and use him as a guinea pig to see what she can still use and can't. (She's been meaning to do that since she arrived and it's... just never happened.)
Worse case scenario, she can just poke and prod him for hours on end.

So I'm a huge, huge fan of Elm Street, folks. With that in mind, I intend not so much in the whole dreamweaver stuff, but will go whole hog with pursuing Dreameaters after facing his own!

Kanji will volunteer as a Dreamer and Diver. He will help his friends as much as he can, and will need help handling his own devils.

For his nightmares, Kanji will be facing some troubled memories of his past in being bullied (with small warnings for implied homophobia; i'll keep things toned down), as well as facing his own more recent memories of spending his final year in high school absolutely alone with the entire rest of the cast having moved on with their lives. As for his dreameater, I have a whole boss encounter planned, so I am pumped to put together a little bit of action.

Hit me up.

Likewise! Thank you for being so understanding.

I very much enjoy the idea of them both being stubborn. (Perne is stubborn too, so I think she'd respect that he is, whilst prodding him at the same time.) Where dreams are concerned, I'm very open here. He's welcome to her dreams, or she can guard him defensively. I like both of these concepts.

I'm thrilled for what we've got going on!
