Exploration Event: Neverwere

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!
Event Timeline

[ ♆ ] May 17th: The Storyteller will make contact with those they can, as well as issue information and a potential solution
[ ♆ ] May 18th: Those that have not freed themselves from the vines or from Mu will suffer a death

Advisor Scientia what happened to your eyes?
[The woman has barely gotten the words out of her mouth when another person notices the scars on his face and speaks out in concern as well.]
Did someone attack you? Shall I send for King Noctis?
[King Noctis. Hearing that makes Ignis' heart skip a beat. What is going on? Why does the Citadel still thrive? How does Insomnia still stand? When did Noctis ascend to the throne? There are so many questions he needs to ask, but he knows the growing crowd isn't going to have the answers. He needs to find someone who does.]
I don't wish to bother the King unless necessary.
[Wherever he is, for some reason Ignis feels it's not Noctis he needs to seek.]
If anyone has seen Shield Amicitia or Glaivesman Argentum, I wish to know where.
[Off to his left, Ignis hears a pair of boots click together. A member of the Crownsguard he suspects.]
I saw Glaivesman Argentum heading for the gun range, Sir!
[Ignis nods his thanks to the man and then turns in that direction. As much as those gathered wish to know what is going on, they part easily before him and it is only a matter of minutes before Ignis makes it to his destination.]
Prompto? I need to speak with you.
no subject
He spun around happily when he heard Iggy's voice, only to be dumbfounded momentarily when he saw him.]
Iggy?
[It couldn't be. There wasn't anything particularly dangerous even around anymore. Why would Iggy be hurt? He urgently approached him, reaching out to take his arm in concern.]
Iggy, what happened? Come on, let's get you healed.
[There was something deeply unsettling about Iggy's condition. Painfully familiar, as much as he didn't understand why. He was eager to get this fixed and move on.]
no subject
[Though Prompto's pull out of the range and toward the infirmary is gentle, Ignis has to fight hard to hold fast against it. His friend is so worried, but what good will an infirmary do right now?]
Prompto, stop for a moment. Look at my eyes.
[He slips off his sunglasses so nothing blocks the scars or the milkiness of his right eye.]
Do these look recent to you?
no subject
When Ignis pulled off his shades, Prompto had a hard time looking. This wasn't happy or fun. His mind immediately pulled reasons why he wouldn't have seen this before.]
Oh, geez... Ignis. I'm sorry, I should have checked up on you sometime. [Was Ignis upset that he hadn't?] ...What happened?
no subject
You know what happened and you know how. You just have to push passed the false memories in your head and remember.
[I'm sorry, Prompto.]
no subject
You're not making any sense... You want to sit down? I can go get the Queen.
no subject
[Who...? But wait... If Noctis has taken the throne there is only one person who can be his Queen.]
No. There is no need to trouble Noctis or Lady Lunafreya with this.
[Ignis shakes his head and pulls Prompto over to sit near him in the offered chairs. The more he hears of this world, the more it hurts him to think of having to wake Prompto from it. He does need to sit, especially as memory of another perfect world so recently broken starts to sip in around the edges of his mind.]
You must listen to me. Doesn't everything seem a little too perfect here?
no subject
[Seriously Iggy? Just going to walk in all fucked up like that and then ask if the world is too perfect?]
How can you be so calm about this? We need to see what we can do as fast as we can. If we wait... We might not be able to fix stuff that we could've.
[Hand on each of Ignis' arms, he shook him gently, frustrated. This was no time to have a calm conversation, Ignis, your face was all messed up.]
no subject
[Ignis curls his fingers around the arm of the chair he's sitting in. He may sound and look calm to Prompto, but inside hearing how upset the blonde is about all this is tearing him apart. This isn't the first time he's had to play the bad guy to make sure things were done and people were kept safe, but this is easily the hardest.]
And there are some things that don't need to be fixed.
[That's why, isn't it? Why he's shown up blind in each dream he's fallen into? This is part of him. Perfect world or not, this is how he sees himself and there is nothing that he believes needs to be changed.]
I gave my vision to protect Noct. A small sacrifice in the greater scheme of things. There is no need to fix what was given willingly. Were you in my place, would you not have done the same? Giving your vision or even your life to protect our king?
no subject
[This was getting frustrating. He grabbed Ignis' arm and pulled at him a bit more forcefully, not wanting to sit here and talk when clearly they needed to be getting something done for him.]
Come on, Iggy. Stop it. You're gonna scare the kids if they see you like this. Gladio was already freaking out earlier.
[It was starting to feel like he was going to have to drag Ignis to a hospital. How he could just sit there with his eyes all busted up, Prompto didn't know. He didn't want to push or pull on him, but it was looking like he might not have a choice.]
no subject
[His voice shakes as he's hit by another wave of guilt. Of course there would be kids in this perfect world. Adopted or blood born, with no war to distract them, there would be no reason to keep them from building the families they all wanted. So much happiness. New lives. New loves...
Ignis swallows hard, desperate to pull his mind away from that train of thought because all it will do is cause him more pain. Fortunately, the mention of Gladio is just the thing to do it. If he was 'freaking' out in Prompto's words, there is a good chance it was the real Gladio having passed through the dream at some point. He can work with this.]
Prompto, you trust both Gladio and I, don't you? Doesn't it seem strange that both of us have issues with this place? One or the other would not be as noteworthy, but both?
no subject
[He furrowed his brows.]
He's resting at the hospital now, and the kids are with Cindy, so it should be all right once he feels better...
[Of course, Gladio had woken up, but he couldn't disappear for Prompto's dream. He had to be taken care of.]
I don't get why you would have issues with... 'this place'? This is home. What's wrong with it? Where else would you want to be?
no subject
[Ignis suddenly seems alarmed, almost pulling himself up to his feet before reminding himself that this world is only a dream one. He'll wait to hear Prompto's explanation before he worries too much. Perhaps, something happened when Gladio woke up?]
I would wish to be nowhere else if this was real, Prompto. You know that. But this is not really Insomnia. You stood with Noct, Gladio, and me after the Fall and you saw what Niflheim did. Insomnia doesn't look like this anymore. Who knows if it ever will again.
no subject
[He didn't want to scare Ignis too much, even though it had been a freaky event.
He grimaced, taking a step back. He knew what the Fall meant, but he didn't quite know why he knew. Niflheim was sadly overly familiar. He was a little breathless when he replied.]
...I don't know what you're talking about. E-Everything is here. It's fine.
no subject
Is Gladio fine, Prompto?
[Ignis hates pushing like this, but the blonde seems to be cracking just a little. Considering how long they have already been talking and the fact he's been under long enough to have met with Gladio before, how much longer will it take for the gunner's body to succumb in the real world?]
When he wakes up and you ask him what caused him to freak out and he has no idea what you are talking about, will that really be fine?
no subject
[He started packing up his stuff, uncomfortable, letting his gun disappear and getting his camera.]
I'm going to...
[He was going to get the kids, but they shouldn't see Iggy like this. He sighed, pleading softly.]
Come on, won't you just come with me to the hospital? At least do it for the kids?
no subject
[Yet, despite his words, Ignis does rise from the chair he's been sitting in and begins walking slowly at Prompto's side. He doesn't speak until right before they make their way into the more public areas of the Citadel.]
Did you ever find out what your barcode means, Prompto?
[Ignis hates to bring up the topic, but he can't help but wonder how the blonde's fantasy world has accounted for this particular piece of his past.
If it has at all.]
no subject
...What do you mean?
[At least Ignis was going with him now. That made him feel better.]
Do you want me to help you? [Ignis was, after all, apparently visually impaired now.]
no subject
[Ignis ignores Prompto's offer of help. Instead, he continues on as if the offer wasn't made at all.]
Was there anything there or did this place see fit to erase a key part of what made you who you are today without even asking your permission?
no subject
[He was slightly exasperated but he didn't want to be mad at Iggy. He didn't know what was up with today. It would just be nice when it was over and things could go back to normal tomorrow.
Even if Iggy was hurt. He was among family and friends, they could figure it out. They wouldn't let anything bad happen to him.]
no subject
[Ignis stops walking, turning to face Prompto as he does.]
If you have no barcode, then why did you look? It appears your unconscious knows something your conscious doesn't want to acknowledge.
no subject
[He didn't run, but he did plead. He didn't like this. Concentrating on their planned vacation sounded better. Anything but what Ignis was talking about.]
no subject
[The excuse the blonde gives is flimsy at best. Ignis can only hope that's a good sign.]
And just where would this trip be to? Altissia? You know, that's where I lost my vision.
no subject
[He said it more forcefully than he meant to.]
The wedding was in Altissia... And the trip is to Cape Caem. So the kids could see it. Ignis, stop.
no subject
[Ignis hisses, voice tight to control the shaking he knows will be in it otherwise.]
Do you think I like doing this to you? Making you this upset? Forcing you to think on such hurtful things? Of course not, but if I have to choose between upsetting you and letting you die in the real world because of a foolish fantasy, I know exactly which thing I am going to do!
