"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 NO YOU HAVE DESTROYED ME it licks you help

—Riku's luck. Poor thing. Okay! Um, what would the psychological effects of such a boss fight be? Just no more nightmares?

They are adorable and I want them. idk are there plushies or something? Tell me there are plushie things. If only I had a 3DS to play this game and progress with the story more. Alas, money, that and atm that I know of there are only two games on it I want exclusively so.

Yeeeah, YnM is pretty. Graphic at times, to put it lightly. I would not be surprised if anyone who saw Hisoka's nightmares was a bit messed up from it afterwards with what he has been through. I'm talking to Linn about it on plurk, so this probably will be a thing that happens, yes, with Tsuzuki poking at Hisoka to do something about his nightmares.

Tsuzuki would definitely nudge Hisoka to accept help from one of these, since he knows how bad his nightmares go. Hell, he might want one himself - although he'll probably refuse one if asked. Because honestly, Muraki is really good at inspiring nightmares in just about anyone he meets.

But he'll be worried about Riku if they go through with it.

I was sure there had to at least be one officially around. They could make so much more money though, it almost seems a shame. Like, no official plushes of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon or something, for some stupid reason.

But yes, that sounds great. Best of luck with it for Riku I guess.

oh man you are going to have your hands full

I WANT IN ON THIS TOO. Tsuna's life was kind of a shithole for the past few months before he came to Exsilium and I'm sure as a result he's had a lot of nightmares brewing up about it-- considering the deaths of many allies (especially one person who he was really close to), dreams of friends that hadn't died being hunted down, dreams of the younger selves he sent to the future getting horribly killed-- yadda yadda you get the idea. Basically just lots of death and fear and nastiness.

They're definitely not just run of the mill nightmares so Riku's intervention would be needed, and Tsuna would welcome him because nightmares totally suck ass, okay. He hates feeling drained and miserable all the time.

ps. can we still get a cute animal if riku is intervening directly because tsuna needs an aura lion for reasons

SHRIEKS I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS MADE 9 DAYS AGO goddamn i need to be more on top of things orz|||
