week 4
Hey guys, we've got an exciting week coming up for you! This week will be a mix of dreamscapes and memshares.
We're gonna start off with the first part of the week (Sunday - Thursday afternoon). If any of you are familiar with games like Recolle where pieces of characters' homes will appear in Estelline, it's basically like that! In addition, we'll also allow elements of characters' dreams affect the setting. Both canon and non-canon things can exist. For the latter, as an example: If Herlock dreams about there being a viola that's made for him, there will be a viola that he can actually play. If Xingqiu dreams about a hydro slime that can fly, there might be a hydro slime that can fly roaming about. If Shizuku has a fancy garden she wants to chill in, she can have a little fancy garden somewhere in the courtyard. Not everything in your characters' dreams will appear, but you can pick and choose what will! Things will shift in and out because this is dreamshare. Now you get to put all your fancy weapons to good use.
There is a chance that these changes will become permanent, so keep that in mind!
For now, though, here are guidelines and more information on what's allowed.

Now, for the second half (Thursday evening - Saturday), in place of a Saturday event, we are having the real memshare portion of the event. There will be opportunities to go into each other's memories, but instead of these memories only being viewable, you can actually interact with them and make decisions that will change the outcome of the memory. This will be very similar to the W1 CYOA situation and Sage -- post-memshare, characters will be able to recall different versions of the same event.
If you'd like a reprieve from pain sharing, these memories do not have to be bad. But we will leave that up to player discretion. You can absolutely go hard if you'd like to.
In these memories, you will be interacting with characters as they were in that point in time. For instance: If Owen went into one of Riku's memories involving Riku as a kid, he'd be able to talk to kid Riku. Older Riku will not be present in the memory itself. Any confrontations regarding memories will occur after Owen emerges from Riku's memory.
--
There will be a handful of locations for you to explore (not too many, so as to not take away from the whole experience), though once again, something came up IRL (for Lav this time) so we may need to put a cap on setting investigations.
Furthermore, we are pleased to say that threads for this entire week, including ones on Saturday, will count towards AC! This is because we won't be having a Saturday event like usual, so you may use all threads from this week (barring NPC threads/investigation threads/mod tags) for AC and AC rewards.

If you guys wanna use this as a plotting post of sorts, feel free to do so! We just wanted to give you a head's up since memshares and dreamscapes do take some time to think about, write up, and plot for.

For now, though, here are guidelines and more information on what's allowed.
- ✓ Individual structures, 2 max at a time
✓ Creatures/robots, including pets, 2 species max per person at a time. These will be up to 8 feet max; anything larger will be shrunk down. You can have, say, a swarm of Squirtles, though, if you wanted to. Squirtle Squirtle. (Only if they'd dream of it, though.)
✓ Items like phones, music players, wallets, etc. These things will not be permanent.
✓ Cars, bikes, scooters, sail boats, etc.
✓ Small outdoor areas (i.e. a garden, a tennis court in the park)
✖ Large methods of transportation (i.e. planes, helicopters, cruise ships)
✖ Entire buildings (unless the shop is just its own individual building)
✖ Items in the regain gacha
✖ People/characters from your canons, even if they're not human. For non-human characters, if they have some kind of connection to the cast of your canon (i.e. Mokona), they aren't allowed.

no subject
•The Great Calamity - it's a big fuckoff moon that's still visible in the daytime, and it reeks of bad vibes.
•Stalls for an outdoor market! Mostly ones that are selling food, though there are some that might be selling random trinkets.
•Wolves. Just like. There's wolves now.
•i can't think of anything specific at the moment but you can probably find a lot of random magical knickknacks around that Owen's been thinking of lately - examples would include, like. a sword, a crystal skull, a flintlock rifle, a matching pair of dolls, a fancy staff or globe.........
NOW. FOR THE MEMORIES. Which is where the content warnings come into play. There's also the risk of spoilers, but here are! Some options!
1. Owen and Cain's meet cute! Main warnings are for violence and eye gore.
2. Something stupid and silly around the wizard manor! Like an awkward tea party, someone trying to wife Owen, Owen playing didney princess with the animals around the manor, or taking Cerberus for a walk... These are much sillier things that shouldn't need any major warnings.
3. One of the many, many times Owen's died? There's a lot of options from starting fights, saying things he should, or just him doing Owen things. Naturally this would involve warnings for death, potentially including suicide.
4. Owen as a much younger wizard, ~100, wiping a village off the map, or other times in Owen's Early Centuries running around the North. Warnings are violence and death, potentially including suicide, chronic illness, and assisted suicide.
5. Owen as a child! Everything is great. Warnings for starvation, child abuse and child death, and forced captivity.
There may also be other CWs depending on the scenario. :worry:
