Exploration Event: Neverwere

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!

[Let's see how he favors dodging, then.]

[Because they'll come swarming out at him in droves, apparently quite eager to wind their way around his ankles and legs to bind him to the spot, streaming from all angles.]

[The god has nothing to say to him, it seems.]
crosslaced: (ah?)

cw: kinda body horror?

I'm serious.

[He doesn't appear to resist as the vines wrap around his calves. But Bliss might feel pinpricks of weirdness within those roots, that turn into pain the longer they hold on- the pain of ice crystals rapidly forming under skin, eventually tearing through the plant matter.

The blonde’s expression is guileless as he unhooks his flare gun from his belt and fires at the god's drooping face.]

So am I...if that is your wish...I can oblige...happily...

[Maybe they're not so serious, if they're capable of making that sort of aside. The pain is starting to wear at them, as evidenced by the way the heavy folds of their skin pucker, drawing inward. More and more vines start to ooze out from the rank decay underfoot, apparently seeking to cocoon him utterly.]

[Everything about this god is subdued. When the flare gun scorches their skin, their pain is evident only in a low, mumbling moan.]
crosslaced: (a sideeye)

cw: suicidal ideation

[A slight shake of the head.]

I wish. Alas, I have a ways to go before I can sleep.

[The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but he has promises to keep- he has to Uber his puppy home.

Can't die yet. Laurent summons his sword in a burst of light, slicing himself free with two sharp swipes- backing up to give himself space, he crouches to touch the decaying mulch, seeking out the dampness trapped within as a guide. He's going to ruin as many plant-nerves as he can reach from here.]

...mm...

[That abstruse dismissal doesn't interest them. The Storyteller has always been far more easily equipped to handle analogies and metaphors. Nor is this particular god a strategist - their tactics seem to boil largely down to overwhelming someone else with sheer numbers, as they once again attempt to do so now.]

[It does not work out so well in their favor when they are being overwhelmed in turn.]
