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 catches her in the hug instinctively, lifting just enough to swing her around in a playful circle before setting her down. ]

Don't I always smile for you?

[Raimei is usually the one enforcing cheer on others, who tend toward the dour and grumpy, so this is a happy surprise for her. She laughs in surprise through the twirling, setting down lightly on her feet with the dexterity of someone used to jumping around.]

I don't know, do you? Are you sure it's for me? Maybe it's for someone else!
wintershepherd: (eager)

I'm pretty sure it's for you, Raimei.

It sounds like quite a party. What's going on?

[That gets a wide, easy smile at his affirmation that it's for her.]

We're celebrating! [she says insistently, like that wasn't obvious.] The hijutsu is gone and no one has to fight anymore. There won't have to be any more death for that purpose.
wintershepherd: (pleased)

[ He has no idea what those are and yet, it doesn't matter. Everyone is smiling, Raimei is happy and as long as there is no more death, he can find this a cause to celebrate. ]

Then let's make it a real party! Would the lady like to dance?

[She's definitely not used to not having to be the one to inject some lightness into the conversation. Everyone in Raimei's life is, understandably, tending towards the grim and morose beneath their veneer of stability and humor. She usually takes it upon herself to be the force of happiness, however she can.

Not having to be that here, having Jack offer it out to her, makes her thrilled. Her smile turns into a slightly mischievous grin, and she holds out a hand.]
If you think you can keep up with me!
wintershepherd: (mischief)

[ Jack takes it, accepting the challenge with an equal grin. He leads her to an open space a little away from the gathered attendees, though they look on with smiles and nods. ]

Pretty sure that won't be a problem.

[Raimei doesn't have any actual dance experience, but she needs to be nimble for her style of swordwork, so she's as confident as ever as she lets herself be drawn away.]

I think this means we need some music! [And, because Raimei canonly has the strangest music tastes, abruptly some Brazilian bossa nova is playing.] There we go, [she says, smugly satisfied. She's immediately tugging on his hand to start dancing.]
wintershepherd: (smiles)

[ Jack laughs, allowing himself to be led. ]

Hope you know this dance because I don't!
