Exploration Event: Neverwere

[lifeaftr_mods]

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!

Storyteller. Explorer. Kind. [ They lean against the wolf, almost subconsciously aware that if they were to do the same to this memory, it would fade.

Dreams are strange things, sometimes too real to bear, sometimes slipping away. They are careful to preserve this one, to stay a while longer. Like a child asking for five more minutes of sleep, pulling the covers over their head. ]

Very old. From long ago. [ They miss him, that much is certain. There's a certain ache to the words, to this clear memory. ] Long journey. Task complete. Resting now.

[mamaterasu]

[Resting now? She wonders, idly, if that's the whole of the story - are they still here or...just a dream? A memory? She doesn't think so ask, can't really bring herself to for fear of an answer that would upset her tiny friend, and just allows them a moment of solace to enjoy the presence of someone close to their heart. Her tail sways slowly behind her as she reminisces a bit herself, looking out at the water. It's peaceful here. It's nice.]

I too have someone like this. He is kind, and an explorer, and also a storyteller...but his stories are not told through word. [A smile reaches into her dark eyes and she looks down at the Knight gently, nosing their cheek with her snout.] He is an artist - a painter - and he is the bravest, most incredible person I know.

[She owes him her very life. The life of hundreds...thousands, maybe. Without Issun's help, she and the other gods would have perished, and Darkness would have ruled for centuries. If not for him...she would not be here to praise him.]

I believe we are both very lucky to have such people in our lives.

[lightlessfuture]

Good friends, [ the Knight agrees, bold and comfortable enough with the goddess now to gently nuzzle against her much larger snout. She is, as always, warm and soft. A light they don't understand, but they're beginning to welcome. ] Very brave.

[ It's nice, here. Watching the lake, feeling at peace. They feel as if they could just slip back into slumber again, huddled up against Amaterasu.

They have the slightest feeling of unease, of wrongness, maybe that would be a bad thing. But they are so tired. They haven't felt this tired in a long, long time. ]

[mamaterasu]

[Sensing the fatigue in her little friend, and how they fall against her side, Ammy turns back to them and attempts to usher them up onto her back with that long, fuzzy snout. If they're tired, then she can take them back to rest ptoperly. She doesn't know where the tiny bug resides on the island...but she has a powerful nose, an innate ability to track, heh.]

Shall we go? [She asks gently, more than willing to carry her weary friend home, and let them sleep on her. They're small, and light, it's not going to be an issue.

Besides, they both have friends on the islands waiting for them.]
