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!

[ Ushio hums to herself. So subconsciously, she understands the truth, huh...

She shakes her head. ]

I dunno. I've lived on an island all my life, so whenever I graduated from elementary school or junior high... I'd still see everyone again. Since we all basically knew each other. Unless someone left fer the main land, I'd just see 'em again.

[ But that feeling, of not seeing someone for a long, long time... she understands that.

"These three days... were full of frights and worries. But more than that, I was... just happy to be with ya!"

It's the feeling she had when Shinpei left for Tokyo. The feeling she had when she saw him that one last time before knowing that she'd disappear for good.

"Go on! Get going! Make sure ya arrive...at this conclusion! 'Cuz at the very end... everyone's waiting for ya." ]

If yer all goin' yer separate ways though... I guess it might be.

[loveedition]

I suppose so.

You know, Ushio... I'm still scared about leaving, but Nagato-san told me that I'd be missed. I should be happy enough with that.

[ She stops on the stairs momentarily, with a soft chuckle. ]

I'm sure that they'll keep hanging out. Our senpai and Suzumiya-san are going to the same school, and I can't imagine she'd leave Kyon-kun or Nagato-san alone. They're not going their separate ways, that's for sure.

[ Unlike her. ]
