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.

Questions or Concerns?
Beginning the Dreamwalk
Now they were relieved. They knew what to do, and they found they could escape the dream world and return to the real world. Whether that was because of their wills or something else, they weren't sure, but it was good to know.
It was absolutely startling when a second blue-winged Sephiroth stepped out of another portal, utterly baffled. But he quickly warmed to the occasion as everything was explained to him. He also told of a sleep spell happening back in the world he had come from. He seemed to be the only one there who was awake.
This was so bizarre. Sleep spells and portals.... And two blue-winged Sephiroths.... Was it all connected? It seemed it must be, somehow. Perhaps those Sephiroths were the keys?
The Sephiroth who had been trying to open the portals in the sky and had opened the wrong ones sighed, steeled his expression, and looked back to his two companions. "Alright," he said. "Let's fix this."
((OOC: Characters who want to sign up to help fix the dream portals but don't have inherent dream powers will need to go with a Sephiroth. They can sign up here. Let Sephiroth know which Sephiroth you want to travel with, if you have a preference, and if you want to thread out the adventure in a top-level of your own! Closing the portals won't be easy most of the time, as there will be so much going on in people's dreams to deal with.))
Agatha Heterodyne | Girl Genius + Wake CRAU | OTA | CW: Mad Science
Entering another dream
Ever since returning home to find that most of the issues she had been trying to fix while in the living city had been fixed in her absence, lending to new troubles, she had been trying not just to fix things at home but also to find a way to reunite with all the friends she had made in Nautilus.
She had been working in her sleep again, thankfully this time still in her adventuring gear, when she saw the portal. Which opened in the middle of the workshop she'd been offered. She frowned, tapping a spanner to her lips. Was she actually awake now? She thought she might be. But she wasn't certain. Caution said to call her friends and guards. Caution said she had enough problems already from portals very like this one. Caution said find a way to close it.
Science said it needed to be examined. And that it could be ephemeral. And she wanted to experiment, itched to experiment. She didn't fear the experiment, for that was science. She feared the result. But that fear could not override her curiosity. And so she quickly gathered the bare minimum - a huge bag of tools and parts, goggles, a leather jacket with many pockets, her weasel, her Pokemon, and a few dingbots. She really should leave a note... But the portal....
She hesitated just a moment then took one of the Dingbots back out of her pocket. "Get the others, have them follow me." She considered. "And bring more tools."
There, that was enough, right? Right. And with that, and a nervous touch to her locket, she stepped into someone else's dream.
Her Own Dream
Agatha's dreams weren't always as weird as they had been when she was first Breaking Through, but for those not of her world they were probably still plenty weird.
In her dream she was in a version of Mechanicsburg. One that wasn't locked away and hidden, and that also wasn't half destroyed. The town, from a distance, almost could pass for normal. So long as that distance was extreme. The walls around the town were crenelated and dotted with odd bronze and glass structures. The main gate in the town had a stone carved dragon leaning out over it, and the portcullis looked disturbingly like metal jagged teeth. There was no moat, but there was a burned circle of ground outside the wall that implied some sort of defenses.
Unluckily for anyone who came to the town from outside it, the gate was open. They were being subtly welcomed.
The town, once entered, was one that got weirder the more you looked. Perhaps the adverts for new varieties of snacking snails and minimamoths on a stick weren't that odd. The clockwork pigeons were from her memories of Beetleburg, but hardly seemed out of place compared to the Dingbots running all over the place like a living metal carpet, carrying tools back and forth.
Because it was a dream, the statue of the Heterodyne Boys was visible as soon as anyone entered the gate. And the road went past the coffee shop - which was oddly large in this dream and issuing forth dark smoke that smelled wonderful, a large tavern called Mama Ginka's, and a museum of historical battle armor, up to the castle that hovered at the top of the hill.
Sitting on a bench outside the Castle was Agatha herself. She was building another small Dingbot as she chatted with... something. The voice that answered her shook the ground and sounded old and... petulant.
"I don't know why you are making such a big deal about a little remodeling," Agatha said, with a mix of amusement and patience. "The Jägers do far more damage dancing than I'm proposing. And besides, you're hideously over built, especially since we repaired you."
"I just rediscovered that lab!" the voice boomed.
"Yes, and it almost killed us all," Agatha said, still seeming amused.
"Exactly!"
"So you agree it must go?" Agatha asked, looking at the Castle, seeming suspicious in the extreme.
"No! So I need to study it! I do not at all care for the woman whose lab it was and would gleefully crush her if she even set foot in your town again, Lady," the voice boomed.
"Who wouldn't you gleefully crush?" Agatha asked, distracting it.
"Um... Well...."
"Well?"
"Well you, I suppose."
"Just me?" Agatha sounded a little annoyed now.
"And your minions I suppose..."
Agatha set down the now finished Dingbot and crossed her arms, somehow without impaling herself on the very sharp screwdriver she'd been using. "I need those. Who else?" Her voice was almost demanding now.
"I mean I wouldn't crush them until after you had heirs of course..."
"You won't crush them at all," Agatha snapped firmly.
"But... What if they really need crushing?"
"You sound like Bang," Agatha said flatly. "If they really need crushing, I am perfectly capable of crushing them myself!"
"Last time you did that you took out four of my walls! One was load bearing!"
"You survived," Agatha said. She turned to whatever poor unfortunate had wandered into her dream, green eyes flashing behind her glasses. "You agree with me, of course. Right?"
Another Dream
An Eevee happily scampered around at his feet.
Me/Ashildr | Doctor Who + Wake CRAU | OTA |
For those who stumble into her dream portal they would find what looked like a retro 40s era dinner. There was a partial stone wall around it covering the sides and back. In front of it sat Me.
She looked like an older teen or very young adult. She was sitting back in a lounge chair reading what looked like a very old journal, with a large raven on her shoulder. She didn't look all that odd herself, until one looked at her clothing and realized that the pattern on her leggings was changing. What started as a star field of almost glowing silver on black was slowly becoming darker as the silver stars slowly winked out, one star at a time. Then once the leggings were jet black all the stars faded back in together and the cycle began again, always in the same order.
She wore silver scrunch socks and black sneakers with silver laces and rubber. Above the leggings was a short black and silver pleated skirt with silver buttons on one hip. Above that she wore a high necked fussy looking black silk blouse laced through with thin silver pinstripes. The silver buttons up the front had intricate carvings of odd circular design. The book covered most of them, though those of Gallifrey might recognize the carvings as their own language all the same. The girl's long black hair was pinned up in a style every bit as fussy as the shirt, held in place with silver pins. Clearly she believed in committing to a theme...
Without looking up from her book she spoke to whoever approached. "No, I do not require your presence, you may remove yourself and spare us both the inevitable argument." Her voice was cold and cutting. The raven cawed. She seemed to ignore it as she turned the page of her book.
Najaran | Culdcept + CRAU from VT and Song | OTA
The way she realized it was a dream though was when a huge feast appeared before her. "YUM!" she said, jumping down off Knight's shoulder. "Come on, everyone! Dig in!" Looking to whoever approached she beamed a bright open smile. "You too!"

"This problem that's just started with these portals," said the one without blue wings. "I was trying to send everyone home. Something went drastically wrong. Now there are portals everywhere connecting to people's dreams!"

“Najaran? Najaran!” Mina called out, running up to hug her.

Re: Another Dream
"I suppose I have done that to some extent, although I've never called it Bending. I've visited some worlds that normally force transformations upon visitors. I refused, and the world's magic bent to my will."

She didn't even think of asking Stitch first.
