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!

... Something is wrong...

[ the dreamscape seems to shudder at those words. ]

I thought it was odd you weren't wearing your ring, but...

... Maybe you don't want to be..?

[ Another, larger shudder. On some level it was probably sweet that he would doubt his own dream if Yuuto was unhappy in it, but on the other that shuddering is very concerning. At least being married wasn't the crux of the dream or else it likely would have fallen apart. ]

[Yuuto wouldn't need the threat of the dream falling apart to be worried. When he hears those words, he turns around again without any thought.

No, actually: He isn't thinking. He has to stare in silence while he organizes his thoughts. At least it forces him to shed his panic!
Feeling around with his extra senses, Yuuto finally recognizes the timeless and spacelessness of a dream world. He can finally piece together whose dream this is too... All of which is very overwhelming. Something like marriage seems like such an impossible dream to a lost kami like Yuuto. He wouldn't even have been able to experience it in his imagination without Akutagawa's help.

Finally, Yuuto shakes his head and steps forward. Leaning into his lover's body and reaching for his left hand to hold, Yuuto sighs contently.]

Nn-nn. It's nice. I don't want to leave. It still doesn't feel real sometimes... That you really love me, Ryuunosuke. I'm so happy.
