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.

[She was both surprised and unsurprised. Given where they were.]

I don't have mine, either.

It must be a side effect of the Helmet realm.

Never heard of that theory before, but I guess it's plausible. Still, something doesn't sit right with me. It's not like the Helmet of Fate to just grab unsuspecting teenagers and bam! Off to the dark ages with you.

Well, I'm the one who put the Helmet on...but I can't see you, Traci, so maybe you're not actually here. Maybe you were caught in another realm where we can still communicate.

[personal profile] urbanmagic 2013-09-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's pitch-black in here. We could just be in a room without the lights on. Try imagining me, maybe you'll see me soon.
backwordscompatible: (that desperate)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-03 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
How would imagining you turn the lights back on?

[Though she does try to focus on Traci's voice, slowly turning around in an attempt to figure out where it was coming from.]

Where exactly are you? Asdie from in the darkness.

At least tell me if I'm getting warm or something.

[personal profile] urbanmagic 2013-09-03 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Magic. I don't know. The power of imagination compels you to me?

[She's just grasping straws. It's not like she believed the room idea either.]

Well, you sound like you're getting louder, so I'd say you're getting warmer.
backwordscompatible: (approaching)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-03 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? Makes about as much sense as anything else.

[Freeze. Okay, this direction sounded louder, right? She dared to take a step forward. Then another.]

What about now?

[personal profile] urbanmagic 2013-09-05 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Slightly colder. Did you turn directions? [She'll just... stay put in case they magically miss each other.]
backwordscompatible: (just like home (except not))

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-05 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea.

[She tried turning back the way she came. Except she wasn't positive which way she came, so she turned in a random direction.]

[personal profile] urbanmagic 2013-09-06 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... How about I try to get to you and you stay put? Does that work? [And she doesn't wait for an answer before she goes her general direction.]
backwordscompatible: (new girl)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-07 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She freezes on the spot.]

Yeah, okay.

[Pause. How do they even do this?]

Umm...Marco?

[personal profile] urbanmagic 2013-09-09 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Polo! Though I'm pretty sure that's my line, Zatanna. [She says that a little louder, moving towards the general direction she heard.] Marco?
backwordscompatible: (hand on hip)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-10 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Polo.

[A little to the left. She alters her direction based on Traci's latest echo.]

I thought we were taking turns.

[personal profile] urbanmagic 2013-09-16 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you'd prefer that. I'll go Polo, Ms. Marco. [Aaand she pauses in her step. At least they sound like they're going the right way.]
backwordscompatible: (smoulder)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-09-16 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zatanna doesn't pause but she seems much more confident in her directions now.]

If you insist, Ms. Polo. Marco.
