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!

[They move?!

Of course they would move, they're her ears. He tries not to stare or get distracted. He doesn't want to be rude.

He stops worrying about that the second she mentions heroes and gasps.]

Truly?! Is that why my outfit is different?!

[He looks at it as if he just noticed, but he doesn't seem to mind it at all.]

[tapformana]

Maybe!

[She shrugs cheerfully.]

This is the point most people start their adventures from. People stock up on supplies here, then set out into the world to explore! Did you get your new outfit from someone here? People like supporting new adventurers, so that would make sense!

[noetetaking]

[Noe is about to answer when he hesitates and frowns in thought. Did someone offer him the gear? He doesn’t remember.]

I’m…not sure.

[First Fallen Stars, now heroes? Something is off about this.]

This world is an incredible sight though, I can see why so many would want to explore it! It sounds like you know quite a lot about it.

[tapformana]

That's right! I'm an adventurer, too! I started out as an Explorer, a long time ago... I've seen so much of the world, and I'm always excited to see more!

[noetetaking]

Wow! [Noe looks impressed.] Is there a difference between an Explorer and adventurer?! But you must know a lot...do you have a favorite place here that you've seen so far?

[tapformana]

An Explorer is a type of adventurer!

Oh, gosh, a favorite... It's so hard to choose. But there is a place nearby that I really like!!

[noetetaking]

There’s more than one type?!

[Noe stops and looks down at his feet shyly. He looks like he wants to ask something.] That…would you uhm—-
