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.

"There are ... wild animals here," Souji admitted, "but if you kill them, they turn into those blocks." He pulled one out of the small handful he'd stashed in his purse. "You can't eat them."

There is a pause. "Aren't they just...animals?" Why would you use a word like wild describing just...creatures as a whole? Wild as opposed to what, he wondered.

"And how does an animal turn into a...block." The word was strange to him, at least in the way it was being used and while he had his own that the moogle had gifted him, it was quite strange, to think that these things could create life. How could these lifeless things give any sort of spirit to anything? "I'm not sure I get it..."

Perhaps he needed another lesson by getting hit in the head to figure it out?

"I only wish I could help," Souji sighed, "but I don't understand anything about it, either! The red-eyed ones attack anyone they see, when you kill them they become blocks like this, and you can combine the blocks to create new ones that will fight by your side.

"It's all very confusing."

[endlessnight]

Red eyes were a sign of an enemy...he would have to remember that. "Very confusing." He repeated, lifting his eyes to the sky. The mapping of the sky was a little different than he was used to, having looked up quite a lot in his years and it was a little disorienting.

"These creatures you make...can you teach me?"

[laughingsword]

Souji nodded to the Pricklemane lingering at his side. "Just put the blocks together. The right combination transforms."

[endlessnight]

That doesn't sound like any form of creation he had ever heard of...but, he supposes it doesn't hurt to try. He had never been steered wrong by monkeys before, so Souji at least had his trust. Enough so, that when he went to grab the hidden pack, he turned his back on him. The previous leaping movements of his steps were more muted, the excitement and confusion bleeding out into a calm loping step.

"Your creature looks like a..." How to put it? "A mane with eyes." A poorly kept one, but. A mane he saw. "Maybe I should ask it for tips to grow mine bigger," The grin was hidden with his turned back as he grabbed his bag from behind the strange bins. "Do you think He would share with me?"

[laughingsword]

"It does, doesn't it!" Souji breaks into laughter, reaching down to scoop Toshi into his arms. "But they don't speak, so it may be a little hard to understand any suggestions..."
