fhlogsWell, lookie here! We have a new event! And it's a collab with another game, Missrecalled! How will that work, you ask? Here is the event info on their side:
https://the-spaces-between.dreamwidth.org/436.html
And on this side:
Jordan was not the only person desperately trying to fix things that had gone wrong. On Gaia, the Sephiroth native to that world had been running himself ragged for the last several weeks, frantic to find a solution to what he had caused by bringing so many there through portals. It had been an accident, and his intentions when inadvertently activating the portals had been innocent, but that hardly mattered to him. He saw only that he had tried to do something for himself—using the Ancients’ magic to be sane again—and everything had turned on its head.
The Heartless attack had been the last straw. That was dangerous, that was deadly, and something had to be done. He had to send all of these poor people home.
And so he was struggling to open the portals. His will should be able to override whatever was keeping them closed, shouldn’t it? He certainly thought so.
In hindsight, perhaps he should have asked the other Sephiroth for help, given that that Sephiroth had the power of portal-making. But he hadn’t wanted to bother or burden anyone more than he already had. He had caused this on his own. He had to fix it on his own.
So while Jordan dreamed, Sephiroth fought with the portals.
What could possibly go wrong?
As it turned out, a lot. Both magic users, desperate to correct the problems in their worlds, reached out through the cosmos ... and the cosmos answered. A piercing portal developed from Auradon, through the Isle, all the way to Gaia, with the two blue-winged Sephiroths the unfortunate conduits. The dreamscape mixed with the waking world and portals began opening in both.
When this latest disaster exploded across Gaia, Sephiroth stared out the window in shock. Portals were everywhere, but people weren’t going through them back to their worlds. The energy he could feel from them didn’t even feel like the portals that had opened to start this whole mess. He went outside, looking into the nearest portal. The bizarre world on the other side, of flowers growing in the sky and clouds on the ground, looked like someone’s fever dream. Several more inane sights led him to conclude that the portals were indeed all going to people’s dreams. And upon talking with the recipient of one such dream, he made another alarming discovery: the portals were going to the dreams in other worlds.
He groaned and slumped back, running a hand down his face. “What have I done now?” he cried in dismay. Would he never be able to fix anything, only cause more destruction?
OOC Info: This is a collaborative event with the RP Missrecalled (info below). Characters from different worlds can either meet on the dreamscape while sleeping or pass through to Gaia while awake via the portals. But even in the waking world, the dreamworld is insisting on encroaching. The longer the madness goes on, the more the strange sights from people’s dreams are creeping into Gaia.
While there isn’t as much awake time on the Missrecalled side of things (and less and less of it as the event progresses), the Gaia side allows for people to be awake and not asleep if preferred. (Or they can dream on the Gaia side as well, if preferred.) The Sephiroths are dream-walkers and can pass through the dreamscape both asleep and awake. They can also take others with them. Everyone else can also use the portals to wander amid other’s dreams or pass through to Gaia if they were someplace else. The portals popping up in the waking world must be closed from inside the dreamscape, which the Sephiroths will be trying to take care of along with those who volunteer to help them. But there’s so many, it could take some time. And while any are open, things from people’s dreams are getting loose everywhere. Monsters, weird disasters, any distressing scenario dreaming people can come up with. Go wild! Make top-levels and reply to others' top-levels from this post, or from Missrecalleds' 4th Wall at: https://the-spaces-between.dreamwidth.org/436.html
Just mark your threads accordingly if they have any content others may wish to avoid. Also keep in mind that as wild and weird as your dreams can be, you don't have the right to force that weirdness on others' characters unless they're okay with that. I.E., does your dream involve forced transformation into dogs or cats? Great! That's fine for you, but no one else should have to be changed if they don't want that. So either mark your thread that it's for those who want that weirdness, or have it open to all and expect to see some humans talking to your dogs and cats. :)
Given the nature of the event and the need to close so many dream portals, dream-walkers and characters with other dream-related powers will be especially useful. The Sephiroths could use all the help they can get! But everyone is welcome and all characters can help! Just know that if you’re going to try closing dream portals and you don’t have inherent dream powers, you’ll need to go with one of the Sephiroths. This is a combination collab event in which characters from both games can mingle, as well as a 4th Wall in which characters from anywhere and anything can appear, whether they’re in either game or not! Bring everyone! It’s like a test drive, only wilder. If you especially enjoy your time in the 4th Wall, apps are always open at Fated Hearts and open until October 30th at Missrecalled and we would love for you to join us permanently!
And the info on our collab partner: Missrecalled is a game based on an AU of Disney's Descendants/the Isle Of The Lost novels, taking place if the third movie ended slightly differently. The game is split in two parts; Characters who start in Auradon are welcomed to a seemingly-idyllic setting with only minimal power nerf that is exploration, slice of life, and working together plot lines. Characters who start on The Isle are in for a powernerf experience with survival and school themes. There are ways in game to change from one to the other, but they are not frequent and the pace is often player driven. The Missrecalled Mod Squad hopes to see you on the 4th wall... once upon a dream.
Things to note: Missrecalled has a magical no-swear filter, and requires FTB for physical intimacy scenes.

Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
She's out traveling. Because of course she is.
"....Hello?" The lady stepped through the portal, looking about with a relaxed, faint smile. She seemed in a pleasant enough mood as she explored. She was dark: all black with purple accents and flowing lines. Her black hair was wound high on her head in a tight, elegant twist -- somewhere between a princess bun and a French coil -- forming twin spirals up behind her that ended in subtle points, nearly horn-like if not for how short they were. Her gown clung close before loosening past the hips, the bottom of its flowing skirt patterned in vertical panes of purple like stained glass. A long cape fell behind her, hiding against her back and blending into her skirt’s folds... Even her makeup was dark, emphasizing her too-large dark purple irises. That her ears were subtly pointed didn't even seem out of place, somehow....
"Are you sure that's wise, calling out like that?" The man who followed looked more suited to a renaissance faire than a ballroom. His blond hair was tucked behind similarly pointed ears, eyes similarly large, but light blue, and his loose tunic and leggings were dyed in much more natural-looking green and browns, his canvas boots and belt matching. He carried a staff, one that looked to be made of several lengths of wood, all twisted together as if braided as the tree had grown it, a large crystal orb caught in its grasp, at the top. Despite questioning her, he didn't seem much more wary than she did... which was to say, practically not at all.
"No. I'm not. But perhaps a bit of foolishness is warranted...?" She flicked her wrist, tossing something bright that arced skyward -- a glowing orb like a firework’s heart, trailing sparks as it climbed. It slowed and hung overhead, flickering like a beacon.
She stepped a bit further, looking about; where even was this? "Hello?" She called again, her companion quiet behind her.
(( ...and I shall link to her post in the other comm in case anyone's curious for that side of things.... :) ))
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
A strange man steps out: upswept, white hair, glowing, pupilless eyes, one multicolored wing on his right shoulder, six lavender ones around his waist like a kilt, and strange metal armor that only covers his right side. His appearance is unusual and likely not familiar for the most part. His deep voice, however, and perhaps the upper wing's positioning, may or may not be familiar.
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
She gave him more of a smile, stepping forward, not a trace of wariness in her stance. Her companion simply seemed... amused? He was letting her take the lead. Maybe that was why he'd only sense her presence, so far? She certainly had some power to her, some sort of magic, but what was probably just as difficult for him to figure out as it was for his counterpart.
"The last time something like this happened, it ended up being an interesting bit of a diversion, and we all made a few new friends before it ended. Admittedly, there wasn't the doorways, as such, but it was rather similar aside from that."
"Should summon your castle again," the guy said, smiling, more a mumble from the peanut gallery than actually trying to steer the conversation.
"My name is Mallia. And yours...?" She gave him a little half-nod. Not a bow, more a gesture meant for an equal.
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
"When did it happen before?" he frowned.
"I am Sephiroth," he replied.
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
He listened to the tale curiously. "Hm. I imagine it was. And did you ever discover the source of such an occurrence?"

Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
"And if you've met him, then he's out wandering between these dream-places, much like you are...?" It was her blond companion.
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
Another nod. "We are sealing the portals. For some reason, we and another like him have dreamwalker abilities. I am currently awake and not asleep." And he preferred that for dreamwalking.
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
"I also think it possible to place too much value on deciding that one knows who someone is, or even what they are, when that someone is, in fact, very much not as that they assume them to be... based entirely on what may prove to only be superficial coincidences, or incomplete similarity. It's not that I think such things impossible, as there ostensibly being two of someone. If there are indeed multiple paths along which history can travel, and those paths might somehow entwine, perhaps the same person from each could meet, and indeed may. But I will refrain from jumping to conclusions; simply because two people hold the same name, or even physical resemblance... or even a similar role... it doesn't necessarily mean they're the same person. Perhaps they merely play a nominally similar part in things? Or perhaps they once were the same, but their divergent paths rendered them functionally strangers to one another?" She shrugged, a gesture that barely moved what had seemed to be the cape hanging behind her -- just enough to prove that it wasn't actually a cape, but something more like giant butterfly wings. They disappeared back into their own folds behind her again after.
"...But I feel I must ask... if you know how to discourage this sort of..." She made a vague gesture to the portal behind her, the blond man taking a step back so it looked less like she was indicating him, "...thing? The links between people's dreams and the waking world and such... Do you know how to prompt it, as well? Perhaps we could use a form of this as a means of travel or communication within the world I've been staying in, if not also one another's...? Or a way to send home those who wish to return to theirs...?"
Re: Mallia ♥ OC ♥ OTA
"Hm. I see," he said. "Yes, I agree one shouldn't blindly judge because of such similarities. Our worlds and our paths in life are in some ways quite different. I have done things the other has not. I would hate for him to ever be blamed for any of that. There are very curious matters that are the same, however, including knowing the same people."
Guilt went through his eyes at the question. "I was trying to do that exact thing, sending people home, when this happened," he said. "It's at least partially my fault. We are sealing the portals to keep dreamers' nightmares from spilling into the real world, but we do not know how to open the portals at will."
