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!

"A hidden level to the house?" Though his voice holds a tone of surprise, Ignis' footsteps don't falter as he follows behind Dagger. A hidden level. It sounds so normal when one is speaking of royalty, yet there is a knot of dread in Ignis' stomach that says it is far from that. If this is Dagger's perfect world then the real one would be the opposite.

Not a hidden level, but a prison? He certainly hopes not.

"Is there anything you want me to do to assist?"

[suspecteverything]

"An underground tunnel system. And a little bit more."

He's right on track for what Jullien is actually looking for. The vorgate was his grandmother's personal prison, a prison that had a cell reserved personally for Jullien.

"If it's here, you can help me destroy the minsid place."

[shatteredlenses]

"With pleasure."

Whatever the place turns out to be exactly--rooms, tunnels, cells or worse--the tone in Dagger's voice makes it clear there are no good memories associated with it. What better way to free themselves than tearing the place apart? Perhaps it will help give the man a little closure too.

"No limits. Minus bringing down the entire palace in the process. There are at least some innocents here that don't deserve to die."

Jules heads into the back of the bedroom where the door is hidden. He's expecting to find it there even if he knows it will be locked from the outside. There's no evidence of the door though. Nothing. Not a thing.

"Titana Rael..."

[shatteredlenses]

"Of course. No need to bring innocents into this." Even if it is just a dream, it would still leave a bad taste in Ignis' mouth.

He's silent as Dagger completes his search, but it doesn't take long for Ignis to realize something's not right. Or, at least, something isn't matching up with what it should.

"It's not there, is it?"

[suspecteverything]

"No."

The location he'd spent most of his life, where his worst memories were from. All of it was gone. It shakes Jullien's very foundations.

"Minsid hell! This is all a fucking lie!"

Fire blazes out of his mouth and down his arms. It circles his fist before Jules slams his knuckles into the wall where the doorway should be.

[shatteredlenses]

Ignis isn't sure if it's the force of Dagger's anger or the warmth of the fire, but he finds himself taking several steps back, blades called to hand out of instinct more than need.

"All the proof we need and then some, it seems," he lowers his daggers slightly, It's proof, but it seems as if it is also something extremely painful for Dagger. It's really time to put an end to this dream before the man's hurt more.

"Do you still wish to pull this false world down piece by piece until it releases us?"

[suspecteverything]

"I'm going to blow the fucking thing to hell!"

The whole palace if need be. As the flames raged and grew around him, the world began to shatter. The breaking didn't seem to stop Jullien in the least. In fact, it didn't even slow him. He was going to use his last few moments in this world to cause as much damage as he could.
