Event | Landfall | Dreaming

Characters: Any and every!
Date: August 10th - 31, 2013
Location: The realm of Dreaming as accessed via Sinbrilee
Situation: Dreaming is but one of the three realms and here characters are subject to their fanciful thoughts.
Warnings/Rating: Please place content warnings in subject headers!

Sinbrilee | Dreaming | Death


Life. Dreaming. Death. Three realms overlaid upon one another and yet each distinctly their own. They dwell in Life and do so live upon the back of the great turtle as those of Sinbrilee did upon the shell of his sister. However, there stand numerous arches of marble throughout the ruined city that are inlaid with runes beyond understanding. Those that live and breathe which step through those whose runes glow with faint, iridescent light tread instead into the realm of Dreaming.

Here, there exists no single defining characteristic beyond the visitor's imagination. The landscape sculpts to their individual thoughts, the events to their dreams. From a drab gray nothing to the most brilliant of displays, the senses perceive all that they wish to perceive for all that nothing here truly exists. This far from Tu Vishan, the ability to shape their surroundings is all they have, for Sinbrilee's Dreaming does not have the energy to sustain powers, only the bodies of those that dwell here.

Should two parties near, then the Mesh begins. Dreams, you see, not only can be shared, but they strive to be. These visions sculpted into reality reach out for one another and blend. They begin an exchange akin to a linking of the minds, within which one visitor can learn the other's deepest thoughts. Their limitation is but compatibility, for two minds that cannot flow upon the same current cannot hold the Mesh.

Happiness or loss, the landscape and events play out memories and fancies with a most convincing air. The mood rises and falls with the tide of the visitor's mind, detached as they are from the soothing influence of a great turtle's mind. Nothing here, however, is real; 'constructs' simply fade if taken through the archways and even the greatest scientific minds or tools will reveal nothing of its source. This is an ancient magic of an ancient realm, long practised in concealing itself from any prying.

Note: Due to the fluid and highly individual nature of Dreaming, no official subheaders will be provided in the comments of this post. Feel free to post and thread however you like, so long as the rules of Dreaming are adhered to.

He was right. She did understand, smiling warmly at the sentiment. Her eyes are drawn to the girl shifting for a moment before Jack's question brings her attention back to him.

"...my room?"

Who did this?

[Miria lowers her heavy sword carefully, holding it next to Raimei's own sword. It's nothing much, just a gesture of solidarity. That vengeance comes next is natural to her.]
wintershepherd: (casual)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-08-13 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm," he looked up at her again, nodding. "Up the stairs, third door on the left. It's all been made up for you and anything you want, if it's not there we can get the yetis to bring it by, okay?"
wintershepherd: (adorable)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-08-13 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jack chuckled and tweaked her nose with a cold finger and thumb. ]

I'd like that very much, if you'll let me!
raptorcanaria: (are you okay?)

"I don't see why, it's a lovely room."

Dinah smiles softly, to indicate that she doesn't really mean that Korra should cheer right up just because her room is nice.

"Where are they?"
alphatar: (little kid child)

[personal profile] alphatar 2013-08-13 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I'm not gonna hide her. But she is cold." Korra said defiantly and she started to put the puppy into the front of her jacket until just the pup's head and paws were sticking out. Pushing both her hands away from each other caused handholds to stick out from the pole, and Korra grabbed the one suited to her height.

"Come on. We gotta get back before they find us." With that, the handholds went up on their own until they cleared the opening and Korra got her footing back on the snow. But the first thing saw sent waves of nervousness out from her. Three guards from the compound heading in her direction.

"Uh-oh."
alphatar: (Deep thought)

[personal profile] alphatar 2013-08-13 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I don't get to see it a lot." said dispiritedly as she crawled along the fur blanket on the bed so she could hang her arms over the edge next to Dinah.

"They're at the remembrance ceremony. Almost everybody goes every year. I get stay at home until the day after tomorrow because of it." her hands moved from side to side slowly, scraping along the hard wood floors.

"I'd rather be training right now."
raisethemoon: (Thou likest my night?)

[The imaginary skirt gets something of a blank look, but she understands the purpose of the gesture itself, and accepts it with a courtly nod of her own. She doesn't stand, though, not wishing to tower entirely over the girl.]

The honor is mine, Zatanna.

Jack breathed deep in delight at the sudden crispness in the air, somersaulting off the branch to land in the snow in front of Percy.

"Hey! Quite a place you have here. Camp Half-Blood, huh?"
dunhaming: (I just made SCOTCHSICLES)

[personal profile] dunhaming 2013-08-13 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ She glances over and gives him a wickedly conspiratorial grin. Turning a little so she's almost facing him, she looks over his shoulder and lifts a hand to her ear as if to speak into her ear cuff. ]

Hello, long time no see. And yes, coffee. I went so long without it only to get a few blissful months of coffee before I returned to the land of no coffee. You better bet I'm going to make the best of this opportunity.

The answer comes before Toph can even say a word.

"Toph!!" The name echoes through the garden -- a man's voice, followed by another. "Toph!"

"Toph!" Now a woman's, slightly nearer. Footsteps emerge within the range of seismic sense -- though who knows how far away that is?

Toph scrambles to her feet, sliding in the loose mud. She recovers her balance, half-walking, half-crawling towards a large clump of reeds to hide.

Korra may want to do the same.
wintershepherd: (eager)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-08-13 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure it's for you, Raimei.

It sounds like quite a party. What's going on?
raptorcanaria: (are you okay?)

[personal profile] raptorcanaria 2013-08-13 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd always rather be training."

Dinah gently rests a hand on Korra's shoulder. "Why aren't you at the remembrance ceremony?"
wintershepherd: (eager)

(C)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-08-13 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
And yet... shortly after Korra's gotten settled into her room, there's a tapping at the window.

Someone needs a little curfew breakage.
alphatar: (A little hurt)

[personal profile] alphatar 2013-08-13 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
The voices heard along with the footsteps felt jolt Korra away from the simply playing they were doing. Quickly she bended the mud off her feet and literally followed Toph's footsteps as she saw them and crouched behind her.

"Your parents." The words were carried along a silent breath. Less than a whisper. Ensuring that Toph wasn't found by them felt crucial, freedom from them keeping her locked away.

Just like Korra wanted her freedom from the compound.

"They're worried." Their footsteps became louder, Korra could feel their heart rate, faster than her own or Toph's.

I wish it wasn't "a few".

[You deserve better.]

Jack likes these days best, where the kids are outside without any enticing of his own because he can join in (insomuch as he tries, not being seen) and so it's sudden that a snowball explodes against the taller one's back.
wingedwarrior: (all in a day's work)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-13 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I can't expect anything better, Kyle. I lied to them, and it almost got Earth destroyed. [It's what I deserve.]
imaginate: ([parallax] cold smile)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-08-13 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
He lowers the hood. It's Kyle's face, his eyes are gold, the pupil almost faded completely into the iris. He attempts to take her hand in his: which has fingers elongated into claws.

'Come on, I'll show you.'

The figure on the chair moves as if to protest. The creature standing next to Clara hisses at it. 'Silence!'
imaginate: ([kyle] awk-ward)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-08-13 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
If it hadn't been for you, there wouldn't be an Earth at all.

[He looks at her, gaze steady.]

I've felt planets die, Shayera, I know firsthand what you saved us all from.
wingedwarrior: (I should punch your face in)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
All I did was tell the League what the Thanagarians were really planning. [The scene fades again, showing the Batcave and the League in civilian garb as they gesture for her to leave. It's only there for a few seconds, and Shayera forces it back to a view of space from the Watchtower. Keep it together, girl.] They saved the world.
parallels: (FEAR ★ if i stumble they'll eat me alive)

Clara steps away and pulls her hand protectively to her chest. It's Kyle's face but she's not convinced this person his him. Her eyes dart to the figure in the chair.

"Who's that there?"
imaginate: ([kyle] raining on my face)

[personal profile] imaginate 2013-08-13 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
'Don't pay attention to him. He's weak.'

It circles again, and tries to put an arm around her shoulder to guide her towards the window, which is becoming larger, and changing into a doorway. Outside, the sand is red, and the sky dark.
imaginate: ([kyle] ew)

[He shifts the scene into her fighting Hro, in the control chamber. He only caught a glimpse of it beforehand but his will is just as strong, and there haven't been any psychic defences yet. Maybe he can make a tweak, maybe without her mind kicking him out.]

[He points to it, as if to say So there.]
wingedwarrior: (and hearts everywhere broke)

[personal profile] wingedwarrior 2013-08-13 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Needless to say, she's a little pissed he's messing around with her memories like that. She shoots him a brief glare, before panning out the scene to show more. "More" being John beaten, bruised, bloodied, and with a broken arm.] I know you're trying to show me I'm a hero, Kyle. But I'm not the kind of hero they are. I fought back. That's all I did.
