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.

Dist is about to agree that it would be good to have more of the feathers for research purposes, but then Proton takes it to a completely different level. There's no holding back raising his eyebrows here, because he's genuinely surprised.
Thankfully he doesn't forget to keep his voice lowered though.]
You would consider taking over a dream?
[...]
I could see it working with some preparation, but we currently don't know the limitations at play here.
[Like, he's not sure if Proton just wants to stage a takeover for the hell of it or if there's actually something to gain in the short term. But he may as well voice his thought on the matter anyway.]
no subject
[Unless they stop that too. ...maybe this is why Proton doesn't attend social functions. He's a horrible human being.]
But people remember nightmares. And I'm sure a mass Rocket related nightmare would do wonders for our reputation.
[See? Horrible?]
But like you said, the limitations aren't known, so it's merely a hypothetical situation.
[Beep boop goes the tablet as he enters some more things.]
One I look forward to discussing with the others after this is over.
[Because apparently none of them attended dream prom. Or if they have, he hasn't seen them yet.]
no subject
I do like that idea. As of late, it seems the population has forgotten just how much of a force we can truly be. An invasion would be a good enough reminder. And just imagine if I could bring a few of my experiments along- I wonder if their own limitations would be less apparent on the dreaming plane.
[...Dist is just as horrible, apparently.
The mention of the other admins is interesting as well. While he's seen them a few times, he's never directly spoken with any of them. Apart from Proton, of course. He wonders if they're here as well.]
How long do you suppose those feathers' effects will last? We might want to act quickly if the others agree on this venture- referencing the past three or so year's worth of events that I've been present for, they never seem to last long.
no subject
[...unless there's no more Dream Proms. Or he doesn't attend next time. Or he drops off the face of the Earth again.]
But rest assured, I'll be bringing this to the attention of the others.
[He almost sounds...annoyed, maybe about the “if the others agree” thing. Of course, they'd agree.]
I'm sure they'll find it fascinating.
[And Petrel would make sort of stupid joke about IN YOUR DREAMS.]
no subject
[Though Dist doesn't look very pleased as he talks about this particular dream.]
That particular castle was nightmareish and involved fighting some sort of giant creature. Once it was defeated, we awoke to find that an entire week had passed.
[...Obviously it sounds ridiculous but he isn't joking. He wishes he was, but he isn't. And it honestly isn't that out of the ordinary now that they've returned to a castle in their dreams.
...riiight.]
But I digress. As always, Division D is more than welcome to assisting with any future plans should you be in need of extra assistance. Aside from supplementary reports, of course.
no subject
Well, if that should happen again, hopefully someone brings me something to play with.
[Proton this is a bad idea how would anyone even...why would anyone even...this is a bad idea. Then again, this is the guy who apparently didn't mind creating a catastrophic mess way back in 2011 with Suicune in order to collect even more legendary DNA samples, so that's to be expected.]
no subject
[Said flatly, because like hell he wants to be stuck in a situation like that again. Proton can go himself for all Dist cares.]
no subject
Good. I look forward to hearing about it. Now if you'll excuse me, I really should collect some more data on this place.
