Hijinks Mingle

Who: Everyone!
Where: Anywhere around the hub!
When: Days 103-105
Open/Closed: Open mingle!
Notes: See this post for details on the moon prompt and this one for the telepathy/dream/spirit prompts!



[A | Flower Gleam and Glow]
[The nearby moon is still passing close to the hub island, meaning the effects are still in play. Perhaps now is the time to stop and smell the large lit up sparkling moonflowers that have bloomed? Or be annoyed by the mosquito-like insects that came with them.

Alternatively, the deer seem to draw some sort of energy from the moon's light. Given their size, at least their sudden aggression and proximity to the base camp isn't the worst thing in the world but a kick would still break a rib or other bone so be careful! Possibly help each other deal with these cute but troublesome fauna.]



[B | Eavesdropping]
[For some reason, the telepathy will suddenly get rather wonky. Characters won't know why it's happening, though of course no doubt there will be ponderings, but it means characters won't be in control of their ability to broadcast — or more specifically, not broadcast — their thoughts. Time to find out secrets of an embarrassing nature. Or maybe something sadder is going on in your character's head.

If this wasn't bad enough, the area around the signet might experience burning or tingling. Just try to keep a lid on your brain for the day and distract yourself from any annoying pain.]



[C | Talking In Your Sleep]
[Or maybe your character just doesn't have the most interesting thoughts. Maybe they're busy thinking about pie instead of their upsetting childhood. That's fair. Pie is great.

But surely sometimes it haunts their dreams. With the telepathy running amuck, it's no wonder dreams and nightmares are leaking through, too. Of course, it doesn't have to be an accident. Feel free to grab a friend and share a fanciful dreamscape together on purpose! But for those nuts that are tougher to crack, accidents can and will happen.]



[D | Who You Gonna Call]
[Last but not least, as Friday rolls around, there seems to be something odd going on with the island. If your character is inclined towards the spiritual or supernatural, they'll no doubt notice the strange heavy thickness hanging around. There are whispers in the air and all of new energy just feels solemn. Might be good to give people a heads up and keep an eye on it.]

[he looks up at that puff, registering the cave for the first time]

...if you say, you will not, you have to have a foundation there already that isn't Jormungand of Ragnarok, or...or you're not sure it will work out?
rootandbranch: (tread until my blood is in the road)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-27 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That, or-- I have to be stronger than what's there already.

[it's a pleasant place. a bit more redecorating than you've done on your own yet.]
rootbound: (in the winter sound.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-27 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[slowly, bemusedly, staring at the additions]

I think you've been working on it.
rootandbranch: (reach out; till i can touch the sky)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-27 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying.
rootbound: (if you'll be the bones.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-27 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...what can I do to help...?
rootandbranch: (you're here; and that means so much)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-27 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[kind of shocked:]

Vern, you're already helping...
rootbound: (Default)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-27 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I, I mean, more consciously, surely I can do more?!

[embarrassed]
rootandbranch: (strength enough for me.)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-27 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[tugs on your hair with his stupid tiny claws; the dream starts fading out around you.]

Wake up...

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-27 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ok FINE]

[Ah. Some sort of childhood imagining, then. Gruesome blue lady portraits wouldn't be the weirdest thing to be afraid of, not by a long shot, especially in dream logic.

After a moment, he crouches down on the floor next to her.]


Can you tell me what happened, exactly?
rootandbranch: (coming off the shelf.)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-27 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[when Vern wakes up, Geir is curled around him and looking down into his face anxiously. the cave is familiar or close-to-familiar around them, only a bit less decorated than it was in the dreamscape. Geir, too, is familiar and enormous.]

Vern.

[Dirk pauses. He looks over at Percival. His senses are prickling.

He tries to fly again. Can he just fly to the castle? He'll carry Percy okay, let him fly.]
rootbound: (in the winter sound.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-27 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[since they somehow managed to experience the magic of each others' horrible nightmares at the same time due to timey-wimey magic waking up is honestly kind of a relief; Vern's eyes are wide and wet, his face sticky.]

Ah.
rootandbranch: (I wanna be strong; but I know...)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-27 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Geir puts his chin on him and wraps him up further with a distressed little huff of breath...]
cherrypuncher: (you will float above)

[Yuna tilts her head, just so, uncertain for just a moment how to address that little telepathic burst, but just as quickly she's smiling again and reaching to fuss with her own hair.]

It's much easier if you have a clip! You can borrow mine if you want, and we can find you one to keep later. [She's worn the white clip shaped like a single cherry blossom petal every day since she got here, but she pulls it out of the right side of her hair now and lets that part of her bangs fall in front of her face. Grinning, she shakes her head a little to try to keep the hair out of her eye and holds the clip out to 2B.] Do you want me to help clip it in?

[He feels the concern. He keeps her close, flying through the stars. He keeps his mind on her, too. No glitches and star dust: just Madoka, kept close.]

Sburb wasn't designed to give its players a break. Every person destined to play Sburb has a waking self that lives on their planet. We also get a dream self that lives on one of two moons. The normal rule is that when one body is awake, the other is asleep, but first the dream self has to wake up through some kind of self-realization.

[As he speaks, the sky around them seems to shift. A purple world emerges from space: dazzling towers and long stretches of wall, all in that shade, populated by strange black carapace-covered humanoids.]

I was a dreamer on Derse's moon with my friend Roxy.
rootbound: (i'll be the blood.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-27 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
A-ah--Geir.

[puts his arms around Geir's enormous snout, slowly]
talim: do not take (pic#10683711)

[personal profile] talim 2017-10-27 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Still?

[ jude can't help but sort of giggle. ]

Were you saving them for a special occasion?
rootandbranch: (back to you.)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-27 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's me.

[full of distress, more on Vern's behalf than on his own, but calm.]

[The pixelation begins to fall away, but it still clings to Dirk. Even so, he looks around.] Geir, what the fuck.

[wait]

Is this Ragnarok.
rootbound: (led only by the stars.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-10-27 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
We dreamed...?
witchhooded: (coasting)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2017-10-27 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ummm...

[ jade has to think for a moment before responding, shrinking back into her blanket burrito a bit as she goes. ]

That is depending on what you want to know, I think. About Grandpa or the Blue Ladies?
oneandmikleonly: (oh; poor Atlas.)

[so like, is he using his soul prince hijinks magic, or his 'destroy it if he can understand it' magic, because the results for the two are very different]

[SECOND ONE how much does he understand a glowing shape in the wall? let's find out!]

[personal profile] oneandmikleonly 2017-10-27 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[he can kind of start crumbling the wall around it if he tries, apparently that's just a wall, but the glyph defies his understanding and just kind of sits there exuding #nope]
