Well, 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:

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.

"An ancient race from Earth, from before there were humans, though some remained sometime after as well." She sipped her own wine.

Well, that earned a Look. "Yeah? What'd they look like?"

Sephiroth looked curious too.

"I have a sketch somewhere. But tall, hairless, lizard skin, interesting weapons. They do sting a bit, annoyingly. Though I do suppose for some they are fatal."

"Are they still around today?" Sephiroth asked with a frown.

"Yes," she said. "One in particular is quite active. She is a rather interesting lady according to my journals."

“I see. Do they sting on sight or do they ask questions first?”

He would rather not be stung even if it wasn’t fatal.

"Do they... oh. I meant the weapons sting a bit, not the Silurians."

“Well, the question still stands,” he said. “Do they ask questions first or just attack?”

"Do humans ask questions first or just attack?" she asked, she sipped her wine. Since that finished the glass, she considered then refilled it, but the wine was a different shade this time.

"Point taken," Sephiroth said. "It depends on the human."

Cloud was looking at the wine. "How is that a different color now?"

She nodded to Sephiroth, then to Cloud. "I switched to pumice wine," she said, taking a sip. "The same thing over and over does get ever so boring."

"Oh," said Cloud.

"My thoughts exactly," Sephiroth smirked, thinking of the past fights with Cloud that were hopefully past them now.

Cloud grunted.

She nodded and took another sip. "Not that any of this is helping the two of you leave."

"No, it isn't," Sephiroth said. "But do you have any other ideas?"

"I assure you, if I did, I'd have said. The portal is quite annoying at this point."

“For the sake of trying every possible angle, if you possibly were causing it to be open, what would cause you to be able to close it again?”

"How exactly would I be able to answer that, as I have been trying to close it?" she asked, raising a brow.

"Yes, but you haven't wanted to consider that perhaps you are subconsciously keeping it open," Sephiroth said.

"And what possible reason would I have for that?"

"That's what I want you to think about," Sephiroth said. "We just barely met you, so we wouldn't know."

"I am someone who prefers to be alone," she said, dryly. "I have no reason to want to have anyone trapped here with me."

"Perhaps that wasn't what you were hoping would happen if the portal stayed open?" Sephiroth said. Or it could be, if subconsciously she did want people. He found it hard to believe anyone could genuinely want to be alone. But maybe they could.

"What else could possibly happen if it was left open?"

"I don't know," Sephiroth grunted. He massaged the bridge of his nose, wondering if they were ever going to get it closed.

"Well, if the two of you can come and go apparently, does it even matter if it is closed?"

Re: Sure, LOL.
