"dreamcatcher" miniplot!

Around the July 16th (date subject to change in case of any plots) someone's gonna be taking a trip to the VR room, and while they've done it before, it's not been on this scale before. So, the question becomes: who likes cute animals and sleeping well?



This plot'll enact some bonding time with an adorable loving pet, possible CR, and if your character has nightmares--possible help with banishing those bad dreams away. For a little therapy after the past few months, Riku's decided that giving a little bit of cheer and giving a place to release pent up frustration might help.

The virtual dream world that Riku's going to create will be full of Dream Eaters--these are creatures from his canon, and there are two types.

Spirits: The good ones! Spirits are nice Dream Eaters; they eat bad dreams and leave good dreams behind in their wake. They're usually pastel-colored and adorable. They are complacent to bounce about and if your character should start interacting with one, they'll likely bond with them immediately. Expect lots of sparkling and hearts, notes, etc. If they have bonded with you and you encounter Nightmares, they will fight Nightmares for/with you.

Nightmares: The bad ones. Nightmares eat good dreams and plant good ones; they're available to fight against if that's more your character's thing. They are very aggressive and will immediately start to engage in a fight if your character approaches them, or might just materialize in front of them because they want to be jerks. Nightmares are neon or mostly black colored with a definite mean streak. Note: Nightmares cannot birth new bad dreams in your characters; this VR is based in Riku's mind and Riku himself is a Spirit; even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to birth new nightmares.


Here is a comprehensive guide to both Spirits and Nightmares.

Cute animal therapy will help in relieving some nightmares, as Riku has the power of a Spirit Dream Eater himself. (Which also means if anyone comes in contact with him, he'll probably sparkle and shimmer just like the other Spirits.)

However: if your character has a slew of bad dreams, Riku will likely be able to sense this and will confront your character to ask if he can help get rid of these nightmares. Characters can refuse this extra help, of course, but it will be offered to everyone and anyone who has a lot of nightmares or is constantly plagued by recurring nightmares/trauma/etc. Think of it as personal dream therapy by one Dream Eater.

If your character does agree, Riku will dive into their heart (it won't hurt I promise) to fight off their nightmares outside of the VR. This will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Anyone is welcome to this plot, if it gets off the ground! I'd like to see if anyone is interested in this first before implementing/talking it over with other muns.

Oh wow how did I miss this.

I am very very much interested. Especially since I've basically headcanoned that Day 356/7 nightmares are definitely a thing for her. ^^;a

Also interacting with dream eaters yes so much *^*

Ally is ALL OVER VR AND CUTE THINGS. She sometimes has nightmares (probably lately some really creepy ones about being like vivisected, Ally you shouldn't have watched those corp human experimentation vids)

Nate has a ton of nightmares buuuut I'd have to think of a way for him to get involved because he's Mr. 'NOPE TOTALLY FINE HERE NOTHING TO SEE MOVE ALONG'.

Freaking out with excitement because I'll be back from hiatus for this! ;w;

But yeah, Thorin hasn't been sleeping all too well since the last world jumping plot. And I'm way too amused at the prospect of him being followed around by something pastel-colored. Count me in if this doesn't get pushed before the 12th.

ETA: Since I'm kind of feeling Lord Kyroo, would a character have to go through the same process of talking to him and getting challenged into a fight?

Kyouko is a Puella Magi so it's a given she has nightmares, but they happen far less often now! They are usually horrific when they do happen though.

Mostly though, I just want her to get followed around by some cute thing so she can be annoyed by it.

Maybeeee......... He seems pretty good at couching things in terms that even the most stubborn dumbasses who think they don't need anyone's help might take him up.
