Wishful Dreaming Event

On the Eve of the New Year, the city of Starsand is surprisingly quiet. For a place so eager to throw parties, you might think that the streets would be full of life. But instead, Starsand’s streets are quiet and it’s citizens shutting down shops early. In this city, the last night of the year is contemplative and quiet. Citizens might make their last shrine visits, but it’s uncommon to see them out past 11.

They say that it’s important to fall asleep before the New Year, because you want to treasure your first dream of the New Year. Supposedly it’s lucky and prophetic. If you write it down and remember it, that dream can even guide you to your greatest desire. And rumors are always good ideas in Starsand.

Sleep comes easy on this night. Characters will find themselves getting drowsy by 4am at the latest. When they do fall asleep, they fall into a deep and elaborate dream.

OOC NOTES

The first dream of the New Year will show characters their wishes come true. They will get to enjoy the life they long for. But strangely, they may find other Fallen Stars wandering into their dreams. These encounters may shake them out of their dreamlike state and make them aware that the dream is just that: A dream. If the dreamer denies their dream or has doubts, then the dreamscape will fall apart into a nightmare before both dreamer and visitor wake up.

It is possible to have multiple dreams: Characters must wake between dreams, even if just briefly, then fall back asleep in order to change their dream. There can be multiple visitors before the dream ends for good.

On the morning of January 1st, all characters who had a dream will find a prismatic crystal clenched in the palm of their hands. The crystal will reflect the contents of their dream, so long as they hold the same wish. If they change wishes or lose faith, then the crystal will turn black and melt into Rumor goo.

NPC characters may reply to dreams with clues. Please indicate which characters you want to receive clues by putting a “*” in their toplevel title. You may request clues for up to 3 characters. Thank you for your help!

Re: tap's dream

[Pidonus Marasia has a lot of reactions to where she's at. And also the kinda scratchy wool starter gear.]

Um. Hi. Yes?

[Of which the first big question was 'how did I get here?!', but she wasn't asking that yet. Waking up here meant she hadn't gone through the tutorial zone...]

[tapformana]

Well, then! Welcome to Isle Argos, where heroes gather!

... Or, that's the line, but really, it's mostly just where adventurers hang out. Are you one, too?

[marshmallowpurgatory]

... I mean, yes! Just. Not one who expected to be here I don't think.

This place is, um, really different from what I know.

[tapformana]

You came here without meaning to? Maybe it really is a place that gathers heroes!

[marshmallowpurgatory]

... So, um. Okay, that means I worldhopped AGAIN somehow. What was the word for that...

Heroes as in adventurers, or as in, um... I guess I don't know what context, being new in, um, town and all.

[tapformana]

Yeah! It's a fancy way to put it, I know, but still...

[marshmallowpurgatory]

I mean, true. It's just...

Eh. Good old question of 'what next', I guess, now at least. Gotta establish a baseline position quick, after all.

[tapformana]

What else? It's time for adventure!

[marshmallowpurgatory]

... Do I just. Go out and start finding stuff, then?

No guild or anything first?

[tapformana]

There's a few guilds around if you want to learn a craft?

[marshmallowpurgatory]

... Nah, I'd rather go try fighting things!

[Pidonus' wings flap out dramatically.]

More fun this way, am I right?

[tapformana]

Hm... If you want to find your feet here, then come with me! There's a place not too far away with some kind of weak monsters. It's near a bunch of farmland, so monsters keep coming back, no matter how often they're driven off, and it'll help the farmers out!

You ready?
