ENDPLOT | BEFORE THE DAWN

Characters: ALL!
Date: December 1-7, 2014
Location: Under the shell and in the Dreaming
Situation: Malicant’s defeated, but it seems the Foreigners have gotten a little bit stuck ...
Warnings/Rating: Add warnings as needed.

Where are you going?

What did you do?

Can you hear me?

Hello?


At first the Dreaming twists and warps around the Foreigners, radiating with the sort of unheard shriek that causes adults to wake sweating in their beds. The only problem is--they don’t. Something cracks like a thud in the skin and the surroundings of the turtle’s body dissolves, and their environment changes in a heartbeat between blank greyscale and any familiar environment.

Eventually it settles, but something is wrong. Where before the Foreigners had clarity of thought even in the Dreaming while battling Malicant, at first it feels as though their minds are shrouded, groggy with half-sleep. They might find it difficult to realize where they are--that their most familiar environment, surrounding them now, is not because they've been sent home. They’re still Dreaming, and the Dream is subtle, but can be manipulated and can be shared if they remember their comrades strongly enough. More of them converging in one place will help shed that torpor, leaving them to realize what might be happening...

They’re trapped. Every now and then they hear Eva’s voice speaking, and some of them will even see her in person, walking through their Dream with a trail of grey mist in her wake.

Can you hear me?

Follow me.

If you want to go home, follow me.




[OOC: If you’re intending to canon update your character (even if they just want to return home to "check in") OR if your character is departing Tu Vishan for good, please use Eva’s subheading! If you’re not going to canon update but your character will still try to follow Eva, she will vanish into grey mist and they’ll be unable to follow.

The rest of the log is general "mingling" while the characters who choose to remain in Keeliai are trapped together in the Dreaming. They can share details of their battles against Malicant, try to brainstorm a way to escape the Dreaming, anything they want. They will be aware of the passage of time, though they won't have any concrete way of knowing how much, only that it seems like it's much longer than it should be.

Please see this OOC post for additional information regarding timing and posting during this log, or questions. Thank you! ]

Dante nodded and waited. He wasn't so hurt about leaving home, but he knew that there were multiple foreigners who were. Best to let someone like that have their moment.

For his 'minute', which extended quite past a single minute, Ryou moved past the large diorama on the table and went to take one he'd left on a shelf instead. This one was much smaller (about the width and height of his chest), and held a diorama of his friends.

Picking it up, he took it over to Dante with a wistful smile and held it up to show him. "These are my friends from back home. I owe them a lot..."

Sorry, it had to be pointed out.

That's so sweet, and- Wait. What the hell is wrong with those guys' hair?

"I'd say helping to save the world makes you square with them, but that didn't stop my friends from saying I owed them money." Ryou, never turn out like Dante. "I don't know. If they show up, you should ask them."

lmfao god... it's true

"Ah...," he remembered now. Somewhere along the line he kind of forgot that this whole thing was to save the world. At some point, he stopped thinking about that and only wanted to get revenge for what Malicant did to Emily-Helen. That was why he learned to summon monsters, and yet look what use that was...

"I guess it wouldn't hurt," Ryou set the diorama back down. He couldn't take it with him anyway. "Anyway, I'm...," he sucked in a breath and slowly released it. "I'm ready."
