Do you want to be a snowmaaaaan?! March 23rd to 28th. Big rescue plotting coming later.

Things in Driftcrest are starting to get worse. More people are disappearing. More ice statues are appearing. The guards are cracking down on people breaking curfew (or trying to, we do have some incredibly smart people and wily super heroes running around). The Unseen are attacking more and more and there's something in the air that'd set of anyone's paranoia, whether they're prone to it or not.

And with that, the return of nightmares. But this time, we're not asking for volunteers to experience nightmares given in secret to one person at a time.

We're giving everyone the opportunity to have one shared bad dream. And by shared, we mean you'll see the others having this dream, too. Whether you're able to interact with them or not, we'll leave the plotting to you. Who knows? Could be fun.

But just understand that, unlike normal dreams, this one can't be controlled because someone or something is trying to tell you something. And please note that the first half of this dream is something the entire town is going to see, for good reason. Because things are about to get really bad for this sleepy mountain village.

These dreams start out rough. You'll find yourself alone, in the middle of a very dark and very cold cave. The same feelings of fear that the Unseen project when attacking practically permeate the environment. Should you happen to be one of the ones previously injured by the Unseen, those injuries will show up in the dreams. To what extent, that's up to you, but please mark for potential body horror. Will they be mild? Will they be far worse than they were before? That's up to you. Just be mindful of your tags.

The cave echoes with whispers. Scared. Calling for loved ones. Asking for help help help. And you'll want to follow those voices because some of them sound familiar.

Now, this is where things split off. Some of you will wake up, shake your head and go back to sleep.

Some of you will wake up and be so sure you still hear those voices.

Some of you will keep on sleeping.

For those of you that go back to sleep, you're fine. Nightmares over. Your dreams after will be whatever you want and you won't remember the nightmare you had before.

For those of you that still hear the voices, you're in danger, honey. Because those voices will pull at you and you'll be unable to resist trying to follow them. You're sure your loved ones are in danger and will find a way to sneak out of your house to find them. Following the voices will lead you to the Ice Statue Garden, where the Unseen will attack. But this attack will be different. Quick. Painless. You'll feel a sense of fading, everything slowing down, and then nothing. We're sorry to report that, for now, you're an ice statue.

For the ones that keep on sleeping. You'll find the source of the voices deep within the cave, and that cave is filled with the half-visible shadows of people from town. People you know from buying your morning coffee, friends you've made during your time in this ever-changing world. People you know from home who are in town. They'll all be standing motionless, facing the same direction. Mouths not really moving, but speaking all the same saying 'break it break it break it' over and over, and they'll be pointing to a large, ancient looking box in the middle of the cave.

There's something about the box that screams it's important. Should you try to break the box in your dream, you'll wake up with a start and that's about when news of tons of people vanishing from their homes will start spreading.


Now, with all this said, we just need people to decide a few things.

Are they going to wake up after the first part of the dream?

Are they going to follow the voices and get turned into an ice statue?

Are they going to see the dream through?

These dreams can be shared experiences, but remember what your decision was in regards to what your character will be doing, because once your character hits that point of waking up, their part in the shared dream is over.


We also want you to consider something vital: what item of great importance will be missing, once your character is an ice statue? Something they don't leave home without or something they value that holds a place of prominence at home. This is very relevant to the plot. We promise. This could also be something people swear they've never seen your character without, even if it's just a favorite hoodie or their glasses.

And for those of you who want to research the Unseen and hopefully get things rolling in saving the day, that plotting post is still here.

NIGHTMARES AND CHARACTER DISAPPEARANCES ARE ON THE 23RD! IF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR CHARACTER HAVE THE NIGHTMARE MORE THAN ONCE, THEY'LL CONTINUE UNTIL THE 28TH! PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE NO MORE DISAPPEARANCES AFTER THE FIRST NIGHT OF NIGHTMARES. IT WILL BE A MASS VANISHING!

ALSO OF NOTE: ANYONE CAN HAVE A SPECIAL ITEM DISAPPEAR. WE WILL REVEAL WHY LATER.




And as usual: A plotting form to fill out.

Evie Grimhilde Plotting Comment

[personal profile] blueberryprincess 2021-03-18 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)

Character Name: Evie Grimhilde

How much of the dream will they see? Evie will wake up and follow the voices. She's sure her friends are calling for her, okay. She has to save them.

What is their important item? Evie wears a tiara everywhere she goes. Everywhere. It's a constant on her person, unless she's showering or going to bed. But it's definitely a part of her and if people inspect her statue, it'll be missing.

Character Name: Gwendolyn Maxine Stacy

How much of the dream will they see? She's going to be an ice statue. I'm up for people interacting with her in the dream until she wakes up to follow the voices.

What is their important item? Her webshooters will be missing. She never ever leaves home without them, always has them on her person, and they'll be gone.

Character Name: Miles Morales

How much of the dream will they see? Miles is going to stay asleep and see the dream through.

What is their important item? He's not turning into an ice statue, but: Some spray paint cans that might not seem like much, but they're like a piece of his uncle that he can always keep with him.

[personal profile] menarebrave 2021-03-18 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Bruce Wayne / The Batman

How much of the dream will they see?
- Bruce is going to be one of those still sleeping. Sorry fam, no taking out Batman just yet.
- Bruce is going to be facing that MotherBox box in the cave and, if not try to break it, then definitely touch it. The man has canon apocalyptic dreams now so ay, why not?

What is their important item?
- If its an item from home? Most certainly his Batsuit. Though, that is a little big. So, honestly, eh? Maybe the cool long black coat he is wearing all the time?? OR alternatively, a Batarang, but really, no one other than Babs/Batgirl knows about Bruce having those.

Would Evie and Gansey know abut the Batarangs?

[personal profile] menarebrave 2021-03-21 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd say 100% yes. I wouldn't be surprised if those two in the AU event wandered into the BatCave now and again.

[personal profile] blueberryprincess 2021-03-21 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Evie'd know about it and hasn't said a word to anyone. She still remembers having to keep secrets and is okay with that.

Bruce figures the two of them both are fully aware he's Batman here in Flux!

Maybe we should do a log with them talking and kind of... ironing all this out lol.

SO consider the comment edited where three people will now know about the Batarangs. We can have that be what is taken, since Bruce's really prized items didn't come to Flux. Woopsie. I can't port a Batcave

What is their important item? N/A


Character Name: Janet Van Dyne

How much of the dream will they see? She's going to wake up and then go back to sleep. Of course when she wakes up the next day to hear about people disappearing, she'll help research and what not. She's still a hero through and through even if detective work isn't her forte.

If you are up for it, I'd love for Bruce to meet both of them! Over the network/dreams/in person. Whatever you'd like :)

Sweet, I'm probably going to put up a network post for Jan, since she's just more sociable. I just need to wait for her journal to get added to the network community.

I would like to do something with the dream thing, but I'm not sure how to log that if I'm honest. Especially since I am just jumping in and Five hasn't even had time to explore the city yet. Are you doing a log for the dreams? Maybe I could just toss him into yours. Otherwise them just bumping into each other in person would work for me too.

[personal profile] menarebrave 2021-03-24 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be on the lookout for the network post!

I'm still feeling out what to do, but I'll probably have one up here in the next few days. I'm gonna give the information a read over and see what I can set up. Might have a section for dreams, and then not dreams? Have them meet there then outside at a later date!

That works for me! If I can brain something, I might do a log with him researching the flux in general and the Unseen as well. He's definitely going to want to learn about the setting and what has been going on. So that might present a good chance for them to bump into each other as well.

Oh perfect! Grumpy old men researching in general. What more can we ask for? hah
