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.

They are my parents.

[He walks next to the old woman, crouching in front of her to be at her eye level. No, it's... it's not exactly the same Ma, he should have guessed. There's little difference, but enough to be noticeable.] It's fine Ma, I'm not hungry.

[He turns to glance at her, pushing his glasses up.] I should probably be the one asking how do you know them, actually.

[personal profile] funkindofwicked 2013-08-16 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You're...parents? [Are they even looking at the same people. They can't be his parents.]

Look Specs, these can't be your parents because these two are from some podunk farm town in the middle of Nowhere, USA and you're not the skinny blonde bimbo who lives with them.

[Why is he saying that when Tea knows these are the two Supergirl is living with. She's seen them before. She knows this place.]
andaway: ([Ma and Pa])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-08-16 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Smallville. [He hisses it out, he never took people insulting Kansas and his hometown well.] They are from Smallville, and so am I.

I don't know who's the skinny blonde bimbo that you're referring to but- [And suddenly he closes his mouth. Blonde girl who knows his parents? Not too hard to guess, it should have clicked the moment she said it but his Kara had never lived with her parents. She had never wanted to.

Still, different universes different strokes... so he has to take a guess.
]

Do you mean my cousin?
funkindofwicked: ([confused] 118)

[personal profile] funkindofwicked 2013-08-16 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Cousin? You're telling me that your cousin--[And she has to stop from saying her name out loud because this is just ridiculous. She looks him over, intensely. She almost wants to use x-ray vision on his clothes, but of course it doesn't work.]

Black hair, blue eyes...yeah, I get it now. Glasses don't change your face as much as you think they do once you know what to look for.

[She knows who he is. If this is his home and these are his parents and she's his cousin, then Tea knows exactly who she's talking to.]

[Clark isn't stupid, she knows what she's talking about. Her expression the moment she was actually looking right at him made it pretty obvious the disguising time was over. Still he isn't known for giving up easily.]

Whatever you're talking about, you still haven't answered my question. How do you know this place, this house?
funkindofwicked: ([annoyed] 035)

[personal profile] funkindofwicked 2013-08-30 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have to answer your question either. But at least now how...homely this place is makes more sense.

[And of course Ma and Pa are still settling into their seats for breakfast, looking over toward the empty seat where a certain someone should be sitting. Tea strives to ignore it.] There is nowhere more mundane in the world than this.
andaway: ([Excuse me])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-01 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He's pretty sure she meant it as an insult, or at least in a demeaning way... but he his has to bite back a proud grin at the comment. Yes, it might be mundane... but Clark wouldn't have it any other way.]

Had you ever been here before?
funkindofwicked: ([next] 080)

[personal profile] funkindofwicked 2013-09-01 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Why the hell would I have been here? Believe me, this is not my idea of a fun field trip, either. I'd be more than fine with never seeing it again. [Unless she was blowing it up. She would be willing to go back for the chance to smash everything Kara ever cared about into pieces. But she actually stops herself from telling him of all people that she--

--And then the room begins to change. The sunny and bright lighting of the home darkenes, dimming as if shadows were taking over the room. The man and woman eating at the table didn't seem to notice.]
andaway: (But I will not stir)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-03 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
So you know this place, you know who lives here- yet you have never been here before?

[Clark does notice the chance of mood and he's quick to run by their side. He'd been ignoring the empty seat on hopes that he'd be able to hide just how much he cared about these people. Galatea doesn't seem like an outright evil person, if a little rude and blunt but still he gets the feeling showing her too much about his life and what he cares about will end up biting him in the ass on the long run.]

What are you doing? What is happening?
funkindofwicked: ([enraged] 075)

[personal profile] funkindofwicked 2013-09-03 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
How should I know? I didn't bring us here in the first place! [She isn't sure what the hell happened herself. She had only been thinking about various ways she had killed people. The room was dark and the walls were changing, less homey and covered in cozy pictures and memories and instead turning stark and metallic. Sterile. Still the elderly couple sits at the table eating without a car.

Then the voice rings out from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. "You have gone over the time limit. Why is the target not neutralized?"]
andaway: (You don't really love that guy)

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-04 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
['Neutralized' echoes inside of Clark's head like a threat. And that's kind of what it was anyway, wasn't it? Clark wasn't dumb enough to not get the situation. The question was: was this the girl's doing? Did she know what was going on? Or was she a victim of this place?]

Look, I don't know who you are, or why did we end up here- but these are my parents and I can't let anything bad happen to them.
funkindofwicked: ([fuck you] 093)

[personal profile] funkindofwicked 2013-09-06 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tea was starting to get the feeling maybe this wasn't what she thought it was. Maybe this wasn't being trapped in one of Supergirl's memories. Maybe this was her being forced to deal with them. Her retraining. They wanted to know she wouldn't hesitate again. But how would they get back here? Something is completely off about it. And why would Superman of all people be here?

She huffs at him, walking around the table quickly.]
Shut up, you blow hard. These aren't people. They're solid holograms. Hard light constructs.

[She steps to the side of the woman, who looks up at her with a cheery smile, "So you're finished then, Kar--" Tea shuts her up by backhanding her out of the chair.]
andaway: ([Red])

[personal profile] andaway 2013-09-07 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Stop!

[He was quick to move in front of his mother, trying to help her up.] We don't know that for sure, and even if they were I still don't want to see you slap an hologram of my parents.

What. Is. Going. On?
