So Make A Wish On Heaven

Who: Participants of the Dream Plot!
Where: In your dreams!
When: Anytime your character is asleep on April 17th!
Summary: As promised, this is a catch-all log where people can post a character's dream as a top-level comment and allow other holders of our Mysterious Feathers™ to come visit them! Remember that the content of your dream is entirely up to your discretion, but we ask that you only have one, and to please also warn for content as needed!
Rating: PG, and please warn for threads that may go higher!
Log:

[Under the light of the full moon, the Mysterious Feathers™ begin to glow.

In the hours that follow after they sprawl out to sleep, those who had the good fortune (or at least the insatiable curiosity) to pick up one of those feathers earlier in the week will come to discover that something very strange is happening across the regions of Johto and Kanto. There's a saying about what happens when you let your mind wander; this time, though, it's a little more than just one's mind that's going wandering, as dream after dream stretches out before you like a horizon just begging to be chased.

Don't worry about getting lost, dreamers; as real and vivid as they may seem, your surroundings are really only visions and illusions, and in the end the failsafe way to escape from them is to simply wake up. If and when you do, you might feel perfectly well-rested or as on-edge as if you'd just jolted awake from a nightmare; like the dreams themselves, there's really no telling how the experience will play out for you, being different and unique to everyone.

But for now, you've got the whole night ahead of you, filled with places to go and people to see. Might as well make the most of it while it lasts...]

Rise heard the noise and the yelling. She just doesn't know it was Crocker. She knocks cautiously on the door and waits a moment.

"Uhm... are you alright in there? Do you need help?"

Without even thinking about it otherwise, Joker slips to his side to give him a stronger body to lean on. They're family, even if Snake seems a bit out of it for now.

"There we go... That's it now. Doin' alright?"

"Even so, it was still an accident! Elsa, you were just a little girl! You were seven years old. And I couldn't possibly be mad at you for something like slipping and falling. It's definitely not your fault. Accidents happen, you know? ...Besides, we were having fun."

And it's true, even if Elsa's magic wasn't involved in the memories she had, she knows for certain that the two of them had a great time. Even so, she figures, it'd be nice if she could actually remember it, because now that she knows the truth, she can't help but feel like there's a huge part missing from them.

"Well, I mean, I don't think that was the best way of handling the situation, but..."

Mama and Papa thought it was best, she figures, but even so, was it really the only way? It certainly wasn't the best option for the sisters...

"I could try it in German, but I'm not sure that would work either."

She doesn't want to leave her vehicle, so she slides over a bit and opens up a nearby wad of hair to show him a door. "Come on, ride with me! I'm not sure where we're going exactly but it's bound to be fun in a vehicle like this."
dressofheaven: (Well that's no good)

"Oh of course, she's manipulating this whole place, isn't she?" Ilya doesn't sound surprised by that, just resigned... and rather annoyed.

"I really wish I hadn't mentioned things being anticlimactic earlier." Not that that probably has much to do with it, but she can't help but feel like saying it was kind of tempting fate. "Well, let's go... No point delaying it."

She hasn't let go of Rise's hand, so she's the one pulling her along now, though gently, as she turns to walk fearlessly down the stairs.

"If good looks was all it took, we'd have a packed house every night." Jimmy laughs. Yeah, this guy's okay.

"No go on the knife throwing, and boy have you got it right about putting a broad up to sing. Miss Elsa's got both covered. She doesn't like to share her spotlight, you dig?" That's the understatement of the century.

After a moment's thought, he pulls his hands out of his pockets. Along with his cigarettes and lighter. The latter he holds out with a raised brow.

"Mind giving me a light?"

"Indeed, Kairi. I'm your dream come true."

Ilya manages to hold a mysterious smile for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

"Well.. yeah, Shadows are in charge of dungeons!"

She squeaks as Ilya leads her along. There was just one problem, Ilya. "W-We need to go up, not down! The stage is on the last floor upstairs!"

She probably should have mentioned that before Ilya took the lead...

"It was for the best," Elsa says. She isn't aware of how her words echo her late father's when she had doubted his plan all those years ago in the trolls' valley. "Your condition likely would have worsened if father didn't allow the trolls to do what they did. And letting you see my magic could have undone the spell, so... what other choice was there?"

She'd told Asami earlier that she wasn't outright punished for what she did... but perhaps that was her punishment? To be separated from Anna like that...

"Wrath, come on! You need to get out of here!"

He tugs on Wrath's arm, but there's barely any strength to it given his mental projection at the moment. This was never a dream of his but a horrible fear, that Wrath hadn't truly died but just been claimed as a toll the way he had--it hits too close to home, and even if this isn't real the drive to try and fix it is too strong.

"Please, you don't belong in here! Come on!"

There's something haunting about this place, and Dist finds himself rather uncertain as something compels him to take a seat beside...whatever these things are. Seeing the woman from the New Year's gala—Red, he believes her name is—appear on the stage eases his worries somewhat though, and he does manage to seat himself so he can witness her display.

Needless to say after meeting her in person, hearing her suddenly sing provides quite a shock! This can't be her Gardevoir doing the singing- her words don't feel nearly as invasive in his mind like they did at the ball. No, this time he is more than willing to welcome it. He'll have to ask her about it if he's able.

The haunting feeling remains as she continues to sing, but there's something pleasing to the ear about it.

"But it clearly didn't, since, you know, I can see it now and I'm totally fine...yeah, my head's okay now. Grand Pabbie even told me that getting hit in the head is an easy fix. I mean, I didn't know I was the one he did it on before, but, well, y'know.

...So that's why we had to spend those thirteen years separated? Why you had to stay in there all that time? All because of an accident..?"

No matter how she thinks about it, it just doesn't seem fair...

"...It's not right."

Scar didn't have to ask about the fate of Lujon. He knew well enough what happened to anyone unfortunate enough to cross Lust's path.

It was awful to think this, but it was almost a bit of a relief that she felt remorse for this.

"If you let guilt fester, it will poison your mind," he warned quietly. How long had Lust kept this to herself?

"That might have something to do with..." With how you kind of temporarily died. Elsa still can't really spit that out. "With what happened out on the fjord that day. If we'd tried to stir your memories before then, there's no telling what might have happened."

Elsa honestly doesn't know if anything bad really would've happened, but... Grand Pabbie knew more about magic than she did. So she had to trust his word.

"It was for the safety of everyone! I had to bear it, for your sake and the sake of our kingdom."

She tries to sound confident as she says that, but honestly, it just comes out more like a line she recited over and over and over...

Unlike everyone ELSE who's shown up so far... Joker's voice is one that ISN'T unwelcome.

Or... well.

Perhaps it's more complicated than that.

Because he's not happy to hear it, either.

For different reasons than the rest, though.

Wrath looks up, eyes widening behind the filthy hair that obscures most of his face. They travel automatically to the bony prosthetic where the ringmaster's hand should be, and stay there, almost transfixed.

He speaks in a small croak.

"... Joker? ... You... you shouldn't be here. You should go."
garbagechild: wish i could feel like a normal rat. outside of a bucket (feeling like a drowning rat in a bucket)

What happens next might disturb him even more, because Wrath doesn't so much as make a single twitch to stop him. His tiny body rocks only because of the sudden lack of balance-- the arm hangs limply in Envy's grip. Even when he gets pulled up, he drags like a ragdoll, the darkness stirring around him.

"It wouldn't matter. It takes us all back eventually."

His voice is heavy.

"What else can I do with it?" Lust turned to Scar the, her face a mask of distress and sorrow. "I tried...I left. I was careful with the truth, I painted him as useless. Not worth wasting my time on. But he found me. After two years, he found me and he still..."

Through fate or bad luck or something else, he'd found her and brought her back to that place and asked her again to be his. What else could she have done? What other fate could possibly have befallen Lujon? At least his death had been quick at her hands.

"I tried. I can't make it better, now. I can't undo what's been done. Why shouldn't my guilt eat me from the inside?"
loveisanopendoor: (I never knew why)

[personal profile] loveisanopendoor 2015-04-21 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"But why couldn't there have been a way that made you happy, too? One that made both of us happy? There's no changing the past or anything like that, I know, but for all of that to come from something like this...I just don't get it. That couldn't have been the best way..."

Now Anna's grip on Elsa's hands loosens, but only because she wants to scoop her sister up in her arms...

"I wish I could've known. If I had, then you wouldn't have had to beat yourself up over this for so long..."
a_sin_for_him: (hesitant and uncertain)

[personal profile] a_sin_for_him 2015-04-21 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Lust nods.

"It took me years to realize it, but...he reminded me of the man that made me. Kind, passionate, brilliant, religious...they even resembled each other. I started to remember when I was dying." It's so strange to talk about this with Envy, after so long keeping it hidden.

But she can trust him. He'll understand.

"And he loved me. He honestly loved me. I never even touched him, and he wanted me to marry him. That's why I left. Not because he was a pointless mark, but...."

She can't go on.

"Ta tell the truth? Think I'm a bit lost." That's the only explanation, after all. There's the distinct gut feeling that he really really should not be here, out of anywhere, yet the way out is something he hasn't found yet.

But really, what kind of gentleman would he be if he left a lady to fend for hereslf like this?

Still... That reaction is a bit worrying. "Ya alright....?"
armoredsoul: (Off-kilter)

Rude, Heather, clearly he is the cool cousin. GOSH.

"Huh?" Al shifts a little, looking down at himself and back up at her.

"Um...yes?" He's been like this for a while, hasn't he? She didn't know him before...wait, before what? Where does he know her from, shoot...
garbagechild: like cmon man i thought we were past this (ever get surprised by ur own issues?)

This place saps at energy the same way it strips flesh away as a toll.

Meat and bone isn't the only thing that the lost souls within the gate crave-- there's more to living than the body you inhabit.

Which is why Wrath only stares despondently up at the emaciated youth who's tugging on his arm.

"This is where I came from. It was always going to take me back someday."

His voice is flat, holding none of the spark that usually resides there, whether in joy or anger.

"I tried to get away but I couldn't run fast enough."

[personal profile] envy_the_sinners 2015-04-21 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
"The point isn't to undo anything. It's to find a way to live with yourself and learn not to repeat what you've done."

Which from personal experience... she did a questionable job of that.

"It ruins you, when you let it sit. It just does." There was a rare, unguarded earnestness in how he watched her. Scar didn't go a day without seeing his own mistake flash in front if him, and now he couldn't stop it.

[personal profile] wing_attack 2015-04-21 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
<Yeah, it is.>

He shifts a little, spreads his wings, and quirks his head a bit. <This is how I usually look at home. Things are complicated there, too. ... But I wish there was more I could do to help you.>

He still doesn't understand, but he gets the feeling of not fitting in. Maybe not as much, but still...
garbagechild: the worst type is "restricted", don't tell me i can't be somewhere, i don't want to have to keep track of something like "where i am", what a waste of time (best type of area? definitely "wooded")

[personal profile] garbagechild 2015-04-21 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Think?"

Still wide-eyed in the dim, arcane-looking light, Wrath leans around Jimmy to squint suspiciously at the frozen, gaping mouth.

Oh.

Oh, it isn't alive.

It's a toy.

He looks back up at Jimmy, earnestly.

"... I think that huge toy is really convincing. I thought you were getting eaten."
