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!

Well, Taako's heart works just fine, but it still doesn't have any means of processing this domesticity besides stinging dumbly in his chest. Which does absolutely nothing to threaten this fiction, since it'll be literal years before he finds this degree of unstinting affection easy to believe anyway. He's pretty sure he came outside specifically to make fun of Kravitz' clothes and hobby, aaaand maybe also just to get in the way, and now this is happening. Turns out this has been a very long con and Kravitz means to kill him definitely for sure.

"Nah, I knew you were a dork from the get-go, no disappointment there." Kravitz jokes, but Taako feels more than a little called out; he enjoys 'simple' like the luxury it has historically been, sue him. "It just seems like a lot of work, and they're not even spooky plants. You can't even eat this stuff! And we don't have any neighbors to be better than. 'S a lotta wasted opportunities."

That was it, he's been found out. His most dastardly plan. He'll get Taako yet, and all it took was getting his dick tentacled a few times. What a trade.

"I mean, there's a lot of opportunity here, I think." He gestures towards the land around them, more room they could take for themselves. "I suppose I could plant a garden that's entirely black. We make it into something ridiculous, charge an entrance fee, make a whole thing of it. Make it all carnivorous or something. It's like perimeter security, as if we aren't two of the most dangerous people on the planet for someone trying to attack us." Kravitz chuckles, turning so he can rest his hands on Taako's hips, just look at him with nothing but adoration. "Or is that too much?"

Man, having someone with a thousand+ years of experience try to strategically out-Extra him does not, perhaps paradoxically, get old. Fuckin, at last, finally, what he has always deserved.

He's less sure about deserving that look on Krav's face, but. He's working on it. And there's a distance between him and how buckwild that unabashed attention feels that-- it takes him a second to remember. But who hasn't had a split second of feeling like the past year(s?) have all been an elaborate dream? Who hasn't felt that on like a weekly, maybe daily basis. Minds, right? Who needs 'em.

He let's exactly none of that show on his face, turning up his nose in mock offense. "Too much? I thought you knew me better than that. But I guess it'd be a start. Only fair you put in something cool, since you vetoed the moat.”

Still, there had been a vulnerable kernel of non-bullshit in his haranguing. "Or you could just do some like, herbs. I might like that better than carnivorous plants. I might even help." Might.

[deathfindsaway]

Kravitz certainly isn't catching any discrepancy here- it's not abnormal to have Taako be a bit hesitant or take a moment when affection is on the line. But just being near him makes him swell with happiness, so maybe that's not a good metric.

Still, he chuckles. "I still say a moat would be too complicated. But herbs, hm? To think you might even come get in the dirt with me for that?" He's trying not to get too over the top with feeling, of what that seems to mean, of the thought of working together. "Look, we'll split the middle. So beautiful it's downright intimidating? That sounds like you."

Okay, maybe that was a bit much. Just a little. But he's sappy and feeling fluttery and let him have this. "Maybe we can have a small moat. If you really need it."
