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...]

"Nah, not really," Greed says, smiling. "Well, the gift shops sold shot glasses, but I have a feeling no one really expects people to drink alcohol out of them." He stretches his shoulders, finally standing, careful not to unseat Martel.

[ossifragant]

"Lucrative, huh?" Greed looks incredibly interested. "So, how do you make your booze? I can't imagine there's a distillery around here." His brows raise.

"Don't tell me there's a Pokemon out there that makes alcohol." And yet if that's exactly what it is, he can't say he's surprised.

[imperfectscientist]

"You...you really think so?" He sounds honestly shocked.

[ossifragant]

"Ah," Greed says, thoughtful.

Martel sniffs at Al's hand curiously before brushing up against it with her forehead. "I'm sure if your brother shows up here, he'd take some convincing." Greed still doesn't know everything that happened in Amestris, but he's pieced together enough to know it went poorly. "The one who used to be here... well, I guess he had a different relationship with the Greed in his world. I still don't know much about it."

[ossifragant]

Greed notices Lancer's reaction, brows raising. "The name sound familiar?" The guy's probably not from Amestris, but Greed has had a few conversations about how similar some of the worlds represented in Johto are. "I think it's pretty overrated. Probably selfish of me, but I'm kind of a selfish guy," it's not entirely true, but he's not aware of the lie. "Too many times saving the world and people will expect you to help them out no matter the situation."

Greed throws back his own drink, eyeing Lancer. "I think you love your booze as much as me."

[fourwayconnection]

For the love of- "Y'all are lucky you're disembodied voices, or I'd kick your ass! What did I say about shutting up!?" Kirikou calls into the darkness, fists forming at his sides before he growls and lets himself sit back again. Letting out a breath, he looks back to him.

"Listen, I'm not gonna say that's not a big deal, because... Yeah, it is? But I'm not exactly getting the 'super happy to murder people' vibe from you. I mean, there's obviously a story I'm not getting here."

[friendyousohard]

Well, you're not alone in it. To be honest, Riku, for a while now I've been feeling like you're trying to do too much on your own. The other officers and I are there for a reason, you know?

[She doesn't even notice when a golden tiara with a star on the top materializes on her head.]

As for direct combat, well, it's a toss-up which of us will be around in any particular area when the Rockets strike. You have an advantage and a disadvantage there, in that you never seem to stay in the same place. That means you have a chance to find them pretty much anywhere, but only if they strike at the same time you're there.

[dressofheaven]

That's adorable, and Ilya can't help but give her a fond smile.

"That is reason enough to celebrate in and of itself." She reaches out a hand to rest over Namine's. Honestly, the less said about her own world, the better. She'd prefer to think about here exclusively.

[bylight]

"... maybe, if I ever get another psychic type, and if she comes here... I could show her."

That seemed like a good solution. Even if it only was an image. Serah would still love it. This was the type of town they'd visit together, see their friends, and then go back home to a place by the beach.

If only they could.

[ladywithnovoice]

A charmer like you? I can't imagine why she would say that.

[Still... The description of her sounds interesting, and Red tilts her head to the side.]

What sort of worldview did she have?

[captainash]

"...It'd be worth more if I could figure out how to leave, really. I mean, it's nice to see you and all, but this room doesn't feel safe, even if it's not real."

...Then again, considering this world, he's not certain that last part is true.

[scratchitti]

"Yeah, for the most part. I mean, I could create every detail I remember and it wouldn't be exactly the same. But the basics are all here."

There's a nostalgic air to his words, and he sips his drink to hide it as best he can.

[me_first]

"... It's understandable. I... dream of Cloudbank most nights that I... remember dreams, yes. I made a lot of buildings there, so it's understandable of course..."

There's a faint note of pride to his words, notable in his mostly deadpan tone.

[paishodown]

A knot eases in Asami's chest as Elsa opens bit by bit.

"You didn't do anything. That's what friendship is. I'm just here because I want to be."

[pipers_son]

"Ain't right ta do these things without a bit a popcorn!" Joker agrees, already getting the biggest buckets he can find for popcorn purposes. Hey, he runs a circus, he knows how these things work by now.

As he hums and shovels them in, he gives a wink to Ilya. "So how much butter y'like on these?"

[crouching_sin]

"And you won't be able to see it if you stay here. All right? So why don't you come with me and we can go back so you can experience those things and more."

He holds a hand out, smiling slightly. It's a little awkward since he's trying to do it without menace, but he has to try for the sake of this child.

[pipers_son]

He absolutely does not. So Joker just gives a nod, tucking his hands into his pockets.

"Then by all means, lead the way." It's her dream, she's probably better prepared to deal with it than him, right?

[ladywithnovoice]

"You should have seen it before. There's nowhere like the Empty Set."

Pausing, she looks out towards the sea of white and red that makes up her audience. Another uncomfortable shift.

"...I guess it's pretty empty right now, however."

[samsa]

If Banjou is lucky, anyone else in the store with him will be just as passed out as he is.

Kaneki nods, following Banjou's gaze a bit warily. Nothing has really shown up yet, at least...but somehow the lack of anyone at all is making him feel more uneasy than it would if there were people around.

"Where do you think we should go?" he asks as he stands up straight again.

[crouching_sin]

"... It's a very old story. One that most people know part of, but not the whole truth."

He rubs at his face a little, trying to keep himself from showing emotion. He can't. He won't let himself get attached.

[fourwayconnection]

"My home, huh...?" Lacing his fingers behind his head, Kirikou thinks hard on it. There are a lot of places that make him happy back home, but... There's an obvious choice, isn't there?

"Well, Death City is the obvious one." He laughs a little, lighting up as he remembers something. "And I'm telling you, it's not as bad as the name would make you think! It's in the middle of a desert, too- Nevada, in place called the United States. It's a huge city- the Academy I go to is right in the middle of it! It's, like-" He starts to gesture now as if that will help make sense.

"You know tier cakes? It's like that, with the DWMA in the middle!"

[captainash]

"Hardly. I've just lost enough to know better."

Even if his way of dealing with it has not been the best, for nearly a decade and a half.

[ladywithnovoice]

Pausing at the door, Red looks down to Nagi. Past its frame, there's still just that soft light. Where it leads can't be seen just now.

"Ready?" He looks like he has something on his mind, after all.

[pipers_son]

Joker takes his time with it. There's a lot of dirt and such there, after all, and god knows their Snake needs the comfort. Eventually, however, he's pulling down his sleeves again.

"There we go. Feelin' better?"

[fourwayconnection]

"...Oh." Kirikou scratches at his chin. "Yeah, I guess you have a point there. Still, some dreams can be pretty messed up." This seems pretty normal, however.

Even with those weird things.
