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!

[He’s about to offer to walk outside with her, so that they can share the burden of their friends’ warm concerns, when she brings that up.

Was he… visiting? But he doesn’t remember coming through the front door… or what Kanade’s bedroom door looks like from the outside. He’s never gone far into her house before.

The gears in his brain turn.]

Ah, I- Did I..?

[… Did he break into her room with his power?

Yuuto stands up quickly.]

I am so sorry. I think I need an intervention.

[composalvation]

[Honestly, it's this that's more surprising than his sudden arrival in her room. She stands up with him, blinking in confusion at his sudden fretting.]

I-I think it's fine, really...! There's nothing to worry about.

[Reassure him first, always.]

Is everything okay? Did you appear here on accident?

[spacialeyes]

I must have?! I’m so so sorry- I’ll show myself out?

[Or at least, he tries to. But when Yuuto reaches for his power, all he finds is static. Time and space don’t exist in dreams, after all.

His brows furrowed with confusion.]

… I can use the door!

[composalvation]

I-Is your power okay...?

[Oh geez, is there something weird about her house??? Does she need to help him??? This is fine!]

Sure- I mean, it's okay! I can show you out...!
