Nights, Into Dreams
Who: Everyone at Forrest's Sleepover
What: The 'sleeping' part of the sleepover proves slightly more eventful than planned.
When: The night of June 21
Where: Lakshmi's temple
Warnings: Some violence (implied and explicit) in individual threads; see warnings in headers.
Well, you know what they say about sleeping on the job.
It's well into the small hours by the time Aya - like many of Forrest's guests - slips into sleep, something she had assured herself she could do tomorrow. It's late, her eyelids are heavy, and she's eaten far too many snacks and, happily nauseated, really doesn't want to move. She curls up on a pile of pillows; at some point she pulls a blanket over herself. Her eyes fall closed--
Morpheus sleeps, and it really should have occurred to her what that might mean. It had been a joke, really: of course the God(dess) of Dreams would be right at home at a sleepover. But it's during sleep she is at her most powerful, weaving a tangled and chaotic web from the threads of Forrest's guests' dreams.
*
OOC: Aya is the reincarnation of Morpheus, God of Dreams; her powers include dreamwalking and bringing back small items from her dreams. Tonight, her powers are affecting the guests at Forrest's sleepover, allowing any of them the (entirely optional) chance to take a trip into one another's dreams. As to what they might find there, well, that's where this log comes in. Start a thread about your own character's dreams, or or drop in on other people's and hope they're not having that one dream about showing up to an exam in their underwear.
(If you would like Aya to retrieve a small item from a dream for your character, please let me know! Items have to be obtainable on present-day Earth, inanimate, small enough for her to keep about her or carry and not used as a weapon.)

[ Not ringing any bells
because she's a shitty god. But it sounds like the sort of thing that should happen....where? What? Hibiki's hand goes to her head.She blinks a few times, hard. Right. To an end with the lies and the falsehoods. Her mind is trying to tell her that's Fuwari, but she knows better. And so, not angry, just curious, intent on solving this mystery: ]
Who are you?
[ Mahou-chan is so silly, says Falulu. That's Fuwari! ]
no subject
[She goes through all of the formalities since Hibiki is clearly having trouble right now.]
I'm sorry that I stumbled into your dream - play? - without permission. I'm willing to try again, I'm just not sure what you'd like for me to do in Falulu's place... Mahou-chan.
[Maybe try the nickname again in the hope that it engenders more goodwill. Who knows at this point.]
no subject
[ Kairi....Kairi....
That's right. Hibiki isn't supposed to be with her team right now. She isn't a noble knight, either. She's in the Far Shore, as a god.
Which means, everything around them - ]
This...is a false world?
[ A crack appears in the shield surrounding them. With a snapping sound. ]
no subject
[She tries to sound as genuine as possible, because she really does feel like that. Some other dreams she's been slowly remembering now have been dark and grim, but this is gallant and extravagant.]
No wonder you can put on such amazing shows for everyone!
no subject
[ That. Sure is a leak in the amped-up borderline.
That sure is a little trickling stream of water falling down between the two of them.
That sure is a creaking sound above.
Uh-oh. ]
Incomiiiiiing
... Oh no.
[She has NO IDEA how to defend against this.]
Can you, uh, imagine us washing up on the beach because of this massive wave maybe...?
you can decide if they end up where she was hoping, if you want!
[ It's worth a try. After all, Shikyoin Hibiki is Master of all she sees! The idea of exercising no control over her own mind is laughable. So she snorts. ] But of course.
[ So she places her feet an equal distance apart, perfectly centered, crosses her arms, lowers her chin, closes her eyes
and imagines. As hard as she can. She's not here. This dissonance doesn't surround her. She is somewhere calmer - tranquil - a beach - private, naturally (she's never been to any other kind), ivory sand sparkling in the....it's sunset, of course it's sunset, dying the world brilliant shades of peach, violet, and tangerine....
"Mahou-chan!" yells Falulu, grabbing onto Hibiki's arm as the boundary breaks, threatening to send water crashing down directly onto her head--
and then there's a popping sound and all three of them, plus the magic floating seahorse, disappear. ]
yes that was perfect haha
But as soon as she does, she feels dry again. The water slowly lowers like someone pulled a drain on the ocean and they end up on a beach with the water at a more normal height, just the wake slapping against their feet. And it's a beautiful sunset that they're looking out across. By their imaginations combined, they both wanted to be in a place like this, and that was apparently enough to get them there.]
Wow... what a view.
[She doesn't mind this so much anymore.]
o7
Falulu, overjoyed, claps her hands and looks around. "Mahou-chan, look! There's enough for sandcastles!"
And, accompanied by the seahorse, she crouches down on the beach and starts scooping sand together. "Playing with everyone is fun...."
That's one Princess managed, then. Hibiki turns back to the other one, reassessing her. ] You're - truly Kairi?
[ Why had she thought of Fuwari, initially? Dream logic? But why would she be dreaming about Kairi, and gifting her powers? There is clearly something more at work here. ]
Wrap on my end, or close to it
She nods anyway. ]
Yes, I am, really really. I don't know what's going on tonight, but I can remember several adventures and yours will definitely be special to me. I hope it's okay if I talk to you about it again sometime, ah... Mahou-chan?
[ She laughs a little at the nickname. ]
I'm glad you got to spend some time with your friends, too.
kay~ (and i am so down for kairi calling her mahou-chan from now on btw)
That's right. She'd...earlier tonight. Sora had asked her whether she'd had muses, so she must have been thinking about them. This is only to be expected.
She's fine. ] ....Right.
[ There might be the faintest hint of a smile there. But she also could just be enjoying the view.
"Falulu made a tower! Mahou-chan, Mahou-chan!" ]
