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!

Then, I have an idea.

Asahina Mafuyu, I'm here to take you away from this place. Will you come with me?

[ He's trying to sound dramatic now? He had no intention of leaving her to this director's whims, wanting nothing more than her freedom. ]

[applehearted]

I can't leave.

[ She tugs a bit slightly, the strings more obvious now. ]

[popsometags]

[ And he stares. His fists clench, and he declares. ]

Then, I'll cut those down. I know you can stand under your own power.

[applehearted]

How will you do that...?

1/2

[popsometags]

Like you even need to ask.

[ His scythe of course...! ]

[popsometags]

[ ...which, seems to just be a prop in this case. A prop sword, even. ]

...

It'll take some time, but I can do it.

[applehearted]

...

[ A prop sword, huh. ]

Okay. I'll... trust in you.

[popsometags]

[ He gives it a try and...

...

Well. Anyway. ]

Have these always been here?

[applehearted]

...I'm not sure.

[popsometags]

...I suppose the better question is...

Has the director always had these attached to you in some way?

[applehearted]

[ Mafuyu shakes her head. ]

I... don't remember.

[popsometags]

I see.

[ He's... still at least trying to saw through one string. It might not be him that can do it, but he's going to try? ]

--You've been constantly surprising me, Mafuyu. I still can't figure you out completely.

[applehearted]

Is it... really that surprising?

[popsometags]

After a while, everyone becomes somewhat predictable.

[applehearted]

... I see.
