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 hallway of what seems like a run-down apartment complex. One of the windows is busted, and rain seems to be coming in.
- An apartment unit that is Very Much not run down. It has an open floor-plan with an impressive skyline view. There are two other doors in the apartment, the one on the left which leads into a bedroom, and the one on the right is always locked. There are an impressive amount of cat toys.
- Any of the locations in Rideaux's list! The two ones in particular are Canaan and Spirius.
potential cats:- You'll have a higher chance of seeing Rollo, regardless of whether he's with Julius or not. He's a cat with a large personality and even larger stature. He seems to be able to understand what you're saying, which is good for one-sided conversations. If you offer food, he will absolutely follow you.
- There's also Julius Catstatine III, a cat that is for some reason wearing a bolo tie for a collar, and one black mitten. He tends to be more of a runner than anything else.
potential julius-only memories (lots of cws attached):- Julius (13) accidentally killing his half-brother's mother, with his five-year old brother right there! (manslaughter, violence, etc)
- Julius (15) trying to cook for his brother and drastically fails. (child endangerment??) Also an option for Ludger having cooked for him at some point later.
- Julius (27) works as the proctor for Ludger's entrance exam into Spirius and rigs the test so he fails.
- There's other stuff, too. Solo world-destroying missions! Julius trying to impress his asshole of a dad! The World's Worst Camping Trip (affectionately)! Basically any flavor of feeling you want, he's got it. [smacks him like a used car salesman]
And again, there are some joint memories with Rideaux that are here if you want them both!
