EXPLORATION EVENT: NEVERWERE

Who: Everyone!
What: Your wildest dreams come true!
When: May 15th to May 18th
Where: Ziziphus, those still on Ensō...and Mu
Warnings: Mark as needed!

Then Know That My Life Was Just a Killer Dream
You can find most of the information you need in the OOC info post! In the meantime, feel free to use this log as a catch-all for your dream worlds, as well as detailing your efforts to free one another. Whether they're on Ziziphus or Ensō at the time of the dreams' capture, your character is free to access as many dreams as you like, as the interlocking mental landscape allows for that sort of crossing over apropos of nothing. And time, of course, is very fluid in dreams - many days, months, and years can transpire in a matter of mere minutes.

Will you fight your way free from Ziziphus's vines or Mu's thrall, or are you content to die in your sleep?

Remember to let us know if your character dies during this event!

Yeah, no kidding. It's nerve-wracking as hell, but that's not really gonna do it for Taako. That was all very heart-felt and, if he's being honest, which he's more inclined to than usual, not entirely unmoving, as appeals go. But he doesn't miss that it wasn't especially informative, as explanations go.

That verbal stumble in particular stands out, and Taako hones in on it, eyes narrowed. There still isn't anything in Kravitz' face but sincerity and poorly hidden urgency; for all he's not being entirely forthcoming, he's not spinning a detailed tall tale, and that's not. Not great, actually, is what Taako is forced to conclude, and he looks away again, shaken.

"You don't seem very good at this. No offence," he quickly adds. "That's pretty much-- Well, I haven't thrown you out, yet." It's not the only reason, but it's up there.

But it's a lot easier to say rude-ish things to hot if crazy strangers than to think about reality not being real. Easier than he even realizes, to borrow a stream of nervous nonsense chatter more suited to someone he isn't. "But I can't stress enough, you still sound like someone who went to Philosophy 101 stoned, with all this. If you start telling me my red is actually your green, I'm throwing myself out."

Look, he's circling the idea, alright? As much as he doesn't want to. The reluctance is nearly tangible. But he's still quick to carry on, albeit quietly, even if he doesn't ask what he really wants to know. "Are you trapped, too? Didn't quite say."

He resists the urge to say that he's sort of making this up as he goes, because he well and truly is running without a plan here. And maybe that's his fault, for assuming that Taako would trust him so easily, assuming that there would be the connection he's tethered himself to perhaps too strongly. But of course it isn't as much to him. For as long as Kravitz' existence has been, he has essentially no bonds. Taako, Taako has many, and assuming his importance was perhaps the mistake in it all.

"In a sense." He's trying to outright lie as little as possible, despite how the scenario has sort of forced his hand. "I can't return until this is complete, I would say. Whatever the results may be. But I don't think it's something so drastic, it's just..."

Kravitz is still struggling, but since he made it out of his own, perhaps it's time for more truth. "I speak of this only because I was trapped once, as well. In a fantasy of my mind's creation for a much happier world than I truly existed in. And it was nice, and kind, but it wasn't real." He looks up to meet Taako's eyes again. "So I know what this feels like. The uncertainty, the thoughts and worry. I go back to make sure others do not suffer the same fate."
