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 definitely can! What flavour do you think he'd like best?

[ Jack weaves his way expertly through the crowd, used to avoiding people so as not to be walked through. There's a boardwalk overlooking the ocean and he moves towards it. ]

I dunno.

[She took another huge bite. Way too big for her tiny mouth, leaving the tip of her nose and the edges of her mouth sticky with residue.]

How come you have white hair, Mr. Frosty? Are you old?
wintershepherd: (casual)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-08-18 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughed at the display, taking another bite of his so that his nose was covered too. He could clean them both up afterward. ]

Mmmm, a little bit old I guess? Why, do I seem like a grumpy old guy to you?
backwordscompatible: (innocent smile)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-08-18 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh!

[The two syllables come out with a wide smile, however, as she takes another bite of her treat. Making it impossible to figure out whether or not she was serious or playing around.]
wintershepherd: (spirited)

[ Jack drapes one arm over the boardwalk railing looking down at the ocean surf. ]

Aww, you're breaking my icy little heart...
backwordscompatible: (Surprised)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-08-20 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She also peers down over his head. There may or may not be pieces of cotton candy getting stuck in his hair from her fingers in the process. Sorry, Jack.]

Wow. We're really high up.
wintershepherd: (bond)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-08-24 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ He will rock the rainbow snowcone hair all day long, tyvm. ]

Mhm, we sure are. Do you like heights?
backwordscompatible: (ta-da)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-08-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a good look for him.]

Ya-huh! I can fly, you know.
wintershepherd: (clever)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-09-01 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, can you really?

[ A little touch of extra amazement there! ]

Is it... like this?

[ He lifts just a small bit off the ground, the Wind puffing gently against them. ]
backwordscompatible: (ta-da)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-01 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[It puffed at her hair too, blowing it all around. The tiny girl gave a loud squeal, squeeze his head so tightly that the friction alone would have compensated for any lingering chill.]

Yes! Yes!

You can do it too! That's so cool!
wintershepherd: art credit needed (recline)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-09-01 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Say hello to the North Wind! Wind, say hello to Zatanna!
backwordscompatible: (relieved)

[There was another gust at her hair, but she couldn't tell who it was she was supposed to be waving at. Coincidently, her response was to wave at nothing at all. As some people might say, at the thin air.]

Hi, Mister North Wind.

You smell good.
wintershepherd: (Default)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-09-01 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Me, or the Wind? Or both of us?

[ Jack plucked another tuft of cotton candy from his cone and ate it. ]
backwordscompatible: (serene)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-02 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
The Wind. But you smell good too, Mister Frosty.

[She tried to lean over, so that she could see his eyes. Upside-down, but it didn't matter to her. Her forehead lightly touched his in an awkward moment before she was able to regain her balance. Somewhat.]

And thank you for staying with me. Will you be my friend?
wintershepherd: (friendship)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-09-05 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Best news I've heard all day!

[ One hand automatically goes up to steady her and it's like muscle memory, like he's done that motion before (he has) before he grins. ]

Of course I'll be your friend... and I'll stay until you tell me to go.
backwordscompatible: (serene)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-06 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
No! Don't go!

[She was laughing too much to sound distressed, but there was a noticeable tightess to her hug as she wrapped her arms only slightly awkwardly around his head.]

I want you to stay forever.
wintershepherd: (peace)

[personal profile] wintershepherd 2013-09-07 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Forever's a long time... you sure about that?
backwordscompatible: (innocent smile)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-07 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ya-huh!

[She nodded]
