A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Who: The participants of the Dream Plot!
Where: A mysterious dream castle far away!
When: All day and night on April 19th!
Summary: The journey is over, and at last you've arrived. Looks as though there's a reception waiting for you, too; maybe it was worth the trouble, after all...
Rating: PG, and please warn for threads that may go higher!
Log:

[After a period of dreamlike travel, the journey has finally drawn to a close; at last, you've arrived at your destination for the next twenty-four hours...

...a Majestic Dream Castle™ filled with light and music, standing out like a gleaming jewel amid a light white mist.

And it looks as though you're just in time! There's a party underway, and when you look down you may just discover that you're dressed for the occasion as well. So go on in, have a ball, and dance the night away; there's no telling what lies beyond tomorrow morning, after all!]

THE VENUE



KEY:
AREA A — the Fountain Garden.
The obvious object of note here is the pretty fountain bubbling merrily away, nestled in the center of this odd little patch of indoor flora; it's made of white marble and is your standard three-tier affair, surrounded by a modest "courtyard" of grass and wildflowers. Something of an oddity to come across in the middle of a castle, but if you're looking for a quiet place to unwind, to sit with someone you're fond of, or even just to cast P10 into the waters to make a wish, this is probably the place for you.

AREA B — the Grand Ballroom.
While there's music audible all throughout the areas that fall within the boundaries of this dream, this is the part of the place that's going to look the most like a traditional ballroom. The floor is polished wood and the decor is classic; there are chandeliers overhead and plenty of room for mingling and making merry with your fellow dreamers. Good luck not chipping those glass slippers!

AREA C — the Pristine Palace.
The least-defined and most freeform part of the dream, this wide expanse of the dream castle is consequently the most likely to become subject to the whims of the people wandering through it. Though the general size and shape won't change much, the way it looks may well vary from person to person. Is that grass beneath your feet, or is it concrete? Hardwood? Rose petals? The details are in the eye of the beholder; here's hoping that won't lead to too much confusion!

AREA D — the Terrace.
Accessible solely by the not-so-secret passage marked on the map in brown, the Terrace is pretty much exactly that: a big open patio ringed with mist and fairy lights along the railings that run along its perimeter. Occasionally, a gentle breeze seems to waft by; though it's impossible to see further than a foot or two into the mist, this part of the castle feels more like it's legitimately outdoors than any of the others.

If you decide to hop the fence off the terrace, you will find yourself returned to the Fountain Garden in the blink of an eye. Don't you know it's impolite to go wandering off when there's party taking place?

AREA E — the Banquet Hall.
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you...aren't likely to be here, anyway! This area of the castle is entirely dedicated to meeting its guests' demands for food and drink; it's filled with buffet tables piled high with just about anything you could dream up, and those platters never seem to empty no matter how much the guests take from them.

Oh, and there's no need to BYOB; age-appropriate characters in Route will be able to find alcoholic beverages, though underage characters cannot. If an over-age character attempts to give an alcoholic beverage to a minor, they'll quickly find that it's turned to water instead.

AREA F — the Overgrown Bower.
Watch your head as you enter this room; the ceiling is surprisingly low, and the dangling vines might give you a fright if you walk into one without paying attention! There isn't much of note in this room, outside of the plants seeping through the cracks in the cool gray stone and the delicate scent of flowers lingering in the air; that said, if you're tired of all the merriment and are looking for a quiet place to wind down, this is a pretty little alcove that's just perfect for some solitude — or some quality time alone with a special someone.

[A kimono looks lovely on her, and Kuwabara can't help but stare a moment. Sure, he's got a pretty girl waiting for him (in his dreams, haha) at home, but he can take a moment to appreciate a gorgeous girl in a kimono. Decked out in a tuxedo of his own, he probably looks a little more dressed for the occasion, but don't be fooled--even as he approaches, his snazzy outfit can't mask the dork within.]

Y'know, you look kinda like a princess in that.
dangerousidol: (♥ You're standing at my door)

[She blinks and looks at the guy who just spoke with her. Oh, she's never see him before.... and with that hair, he looked like a yankee... those kinds of guys were still around? Kanji would probably beat this guy up in a heartbeat.

But being complimented is nice. Rise gives him a sweet smile.]


Princess? I've never been called that before!
manfulness: (guys check out my cat :3c)

[personal profile] manfulness 2015-04-23 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Kuwabara grins. He feels like he's scored a few points in the cool book, even if she doesn't say anything.]

Yeah, I'd say so! You look real nice. Didja plan on coming in something more traditional than a big ol' ball gown?
dangerousidol: (♥ So hey let's be friends)

[personal profile] dangerousidol 2015-04-23 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Plan?

[It would have been nice to come here in a ballgown, but then again, big poofy dresses are definitely not her style. Maybe a mermaid gown. But how could she dance in that?]

Not really. I was thinking about how nice it would be to go see the cherry blossoms with my friends since it's April. I guess this place was trying to at least grant one of those wishes!
manfulness: (FOR JAPAN!)

[personal profile] manfulness 2015-04-23 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, the cherry blossoms? They're really pretty this time of year.

[He grins a little. She seems like a sweetheart.] Maybe next time they'll get a few trees out. I don't think they even have any here. They really should though... At least in the area where the pedals don't blow all into everything.
dangerousidol: (♥ I could show you incredible things)

[personal profile] dangerousidol 2015-04-23 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
They're amazing in Inaba! The temple is covered in blossoms~!

[She tilts her had and thinks. There wasn't as many blooming trees like she was used to.]

That would be pretty. I think the Pokémon would love it, too!
manfulness: (guys check out my cat :3c)

[personal profile] manfulness 2015-04-27 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, that sounds great. I'm sure they would too!

[But now he's kind of curious.] Inaba, you said? Are you Japanese?
dangerousidol: (♠ Said you're never some back)

[personal profile] dangerousidol 2015-04-27 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, still smiling.]

Yup! My name's Rise Kujikawa! I never thought I'd meet so many others from Japan here...
manfulness: (FOR JAPAN!)

[personal profile] manfulness 2015-04-27 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you! The name's Kazuma Kuwabara. It's kinda surprising how many of us came from here, but I can't complain too much. Makes it easier to understand folks. [No, moron, that's the magical translator.]
dangerousidol: (♠ If the high was worth the pain)

[personal profile] dangerousidol 2015-04-27 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Kuwabara-kun!

[She tilts her head. She had been wondering about that, and what he said doesn't make sense...]

Uhm... I think it's world translating for us somehow! I met people that definitely weren't Japanese. But that's just what I think.
manfulness: (~tickles~)

[personal profile] manfulness 2015-04-30 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
...The world's translating? [He looks up, then glances around. What is this weird and shocking development?!] Y'think it can really do that?!
dangerousidol: (♦ Is so dysfunctional)

[personal profile] dangerousidol 2015-04-30 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[You get a deadpan look, Kuwabara.] It can bring people from different worlds here, why can't it also translate everything?
