Dreaming Wide Awake [Fourth Wall/Open]

[revenancemods]

Who: Everyone! Current characters, fourth wall characters, whoever wants to show up.
What: The portals are closed. Everyone's in Traverse Town, including a whole bunch of new people. This should be interesting.
Where: Traverse Town
When: Throughout the day
Warnings: Depends on the characters. Expect language at least.

You didn't expect to be here. You really didn't. The technicolor buildings are a surprise, as is the little white flying bear telling you you're in the dream world. He gives you a bag full of what looks to be currency, enough shiny things to create a creature of your own (or so he says), and sends you on your way.

Good luck.

Fortunately for Rory, there's at least someone around who might have the answers. Somewhat less fortunately, he's rather run right into that someone. Not that he minds - it'll take more than a simple collision to put him off his stride - but it's most certainly not something that he can say that he'd expected.

His Pricklemane, meanwhile, starts nosing around at Rory's ankles. New people are always worth some amount of interest!

"Ah, hello. But I really wouldn't have thought the contents of that bag would have been quite so interesting."

Rory stumbles back, "Sorry!" He really should have been paying attention anyway. He looks back down at the bag and finds that nothing has spilled out thankfully. It's while he's looking down that he sees the strange cat-like creature.

He looks like he wants to say something, his mouth dropping open as he looks up to the man with the longest scarf Rory has ever seen. "Uhm...hi," he holds up the bag, "Right, sorry about that. I don't suppose they really are...at least, if they are I don't see it. I mean...they're supposed to make some kind of creature, right?" His eyes fall to the cat again, "I guess something like that?"

Strange is a very good description of it, yes. The Doctor isn't really certain what to make of it so far, but it's mostly harmless and is generally inclined to listen and that's almost nearly everything he asks for. About the only thing that would be better is if he could train it to ask questions, but that seems to be a little beyond it's capabilities.

"Part of what's in there does, yes. The rest is mostly basic supplies. The sort of thing a wayward traveler might happen to need."

"Right. But we're not exactly traveling anywhere. I heard we were kind of stuck." It wasn't exactly new for him. However, this was the first time he'd been given a "welcome basket" and instructions from a floating bear-thing. Also no access to a way out was troubling, but like most things Rory had a feeling it would work out.

"Not traveling in the traditional sense, no. But you would have had to go somewhere to get to a Realm of Dreams. Even if that somewhere is only to sleep."

The no way out is a little concerning, but there's always something that can be done. It's just a question of figuring out what that something happens to be.
