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!

[The training is exhausting, but it's supposed to be. You have to know how far you can push it and figure out how to go beyond that.

Still, he has limits, and there's only so far he can push himself before his limbs start to tremble, before his fingers start to turn blue and the frost that climbs over his skin becomes dangerous. It's good, then, that Tim is there.

(His fingertips are only a little blue as he pulls back, giving a nod to the sharp-toothed boy who's been chipping away at the ice left behind.)]

Are we going on patrols today?

[He rubs his hands together, trying to get the feeling back. He's not strong enough yet, but it's getting easier. That's good, isn't it?]

[A snap of his fingers conjures a tongue of red-orange flame bobbing an inch or so above his thumb, which he holds out to help the kid thaw.]

If you’re feeling up to it, [he says with a pointed look at the acutely chilly-looking fingertips Shouto’s boasting just now.] You can pace yourself, you know. Take some R&R if you really need it.

It's not that bad. [But he's quick to hold his hands over the flames, incredibly grateful.] And it's not like I'll be able to take breaks once I'm on my own.

[It's a job, an important one, and being a pro hero is all about that sacrifice. Otherwise it wouldn't so hard to get to the top, right? You never hear about chart-topping pros who go on vacations.]

[postictal]

You make time for yourself.[It's not impossible. Time management simply isn't something they teach you. It's more or less an acquired skill you learn to pick up as you go. But hell if Tim's gonna make anyone figure it out on their own the way he did.]

It's just about managing yourself so you don't end up burning yourself out. Or... [One corner of his mouth twists upwards into a vaguely self-effacing smirk.] ...y'know. The opposite.

[Pardon the pun. Of course.]
