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.

[ Kara stumbles after, running inexplicably into people as she follows. Finally she collapses onto the sidewalk bench and drops her head into her hands. ]

Overwhelmed. There's just so much noise. [ But it continues fading, and the landscape blends a little more into Keeliai. ]

Do not focus on the noise. [She moves to help her up, frowning.] Think of a good memory. Focus on that.

Good memories...

[ She puts most of her weight on Diana, but she does finally get to her feet. As she does, the scenery begins to shit again, moving from an unidentifiable street into the water sector of Keeliai. The city sounds fade into the sounds of laughter and people talking, and nearby kedan children run out between the shops to play on the edges of the river. The mood in the air relaxes somewhat. ]

Good memories.

That's it. You're doing well.

[And since this is the water section, Diana manages to lead them to the fountain to sit on. At the very least, she was familiar with that.] Does this sound better?
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (friendship!)

[personal profile] notdreaming 2013-09-01 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
A little. [ She tries a very sheepish smile up at her new friend. ] Thank you, Diana.

[ Meanwhile the sky is turning reddish and cars start zooming through the sky. Whoops? ]

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-09-04 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
It is my pleasu-- [Oh hello cars in the sky.] ... What is that?
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (innocent eyes)

[personal profile] notdreaming 2013-09-04 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[ She looks up, but sees absolutely nothing wrong with aircar traffic. ]

What's what?

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-09-06 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Those vehicles. As far as I am aware, they were designed to travel on land, not in the air. [Her mind warp again?]
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (this is very strange)

[personal profile] notdreaming 2013-09-06 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kara blinks, and takes another look at the vehicles. ]

Aircars? They're... aircars. For the air.

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-09-07 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I have never seen cars for the air before. Is this normal in your world? [Well, at least she seems calmer now.]
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (I love babysitting)

[personal profile] notdreaming 2013-09-07 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. It saves on space.

[ Keeliai and Krypton are blending together now, and although the visual effect is strange it does seem to radiate a sense of contentment. The tops of buildings have the organic, angular architecture of Krypton, but the streets are still on the turtle. ]

How did you get around where you're from?

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-09-07 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
In Themyscira, we used steeds to move around. It is but a small island, so there was no need for so many machinery. [Not that they didn't have them, just that it wasn't necessary.] The cars in Washington were all on the ground, however.

[personal profile] notdreaming 2013-09-07 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Washington? Where is that?

[personal profile] bridgetothemyscira 2013-09-09 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
America. I believe that's where their leader is based.
notdreaming: (strange earth customs)

That's right, they have a bunch of different leaders for different countries. I've only really been to New York.
