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!

[ Hanyuu smiles, hanging around on one of the rooftops watching how happy he is.

It's definitely got a motherly vibe going on here and he can probably sense her if he goes for it, but she isn't going to interrupt a date like this. That would be rude! But she can at least be happy for him and his dream, at least.

It's simple, but that's also enough for her to be proud of, too.

So she'll keep watching, just in case something goes wrong. She's going to be a good kami!! ]

[ He swallows the bite of sandwich and then freezes. He does sense someone else nearby, someone familiar. ]

Excuse me for a moment. I'll be right back.

[ He leaps up, Haori of the Underworld draped on him as he goes to meet Hanyuu on the roof. ]

What a pleasant surprise. Did you come by to visit?

[aupologizes]

In a way, yes.

[ If he doesn't know that it's a dream, then she won't reveal those details. But he seems to recognize her, so that's something that she can latch onto, at least. ]

My presence didn't interrupt you too much from your date, did it...?

[popsometags]

Oh. It's not really a date.

[ Rinne is actually, legitimately sparkling right now. He's also lying out loud, because he's not used to it actually being a date?! ]

Sorry about the timing, though. I'd like to show you around, but I don't want her to wait for me too long.

[aupologizes]

It is quite alright. Perhaps next time, you can introduce me?

[ Mom wants to see what Rinne's girlfriend is like!! ]

[popsometags]

S-Sure! I'm sure you two would get along great, Sakura Mamiya's very respectful and kind, and lent me money and made bentos...

[ God, he even SOUNDS like a kid now?! ]

[aupologizes]

I'm glad to hear it. I'm happy for you.

[ She sounds like a proud mom who's accepted his girlfriend?? ]
