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.

"Of...course."

She does not see, but she considers that an avenue not worth pursuing at the moment. Instead, she turns away from the fountain to face Cecil fully, now quite interested. "Pray tell, hast thou some reason to hide thy eyes?" Luna has not yet decided if this is some kind of offense towards her.

"Oh! Sorry, I mean no offense," Cecil says, quickly. "It's just that dreaming of horses is a minor misdemeanor, punishable by up to thirty days in jail. Dreaming of voices that may or may not be coming from horses is fine, though. I'm sure you understand."

[raisethemoon]

Oh. Well, that's not offensive. Just completely nonsensical.

"Be that as it may..." And she's half-inclined to believe that all human governments are simply mad. "...I am an alicorn, not a horse. We have wings and horns, and are more kin to ponies than...whatever a horse may be. They are not native to my home, but other humans of my acquaintance have described them to me." Apparently they were like non-sapient earth ponies, but closer to her own size. Humans rode them. She'd chosen to stop the explanation at that point.

Cecil nods along. "Of course," he says. "But they're still debating over whether mythical, horse-like creatures fall under the ruling or not, after Alice Nguyen received visions of a Qilin from on high last month, and I'd rather not take any chances. I'm pretty sure I still have a get out of jail free card saved up, though, so if it really bothers you I can stop. I wouldn't want to be rude, after all."

[raisethemoon]

"No, no." Luna's voice was light, as she tried to keep her skepticism inaudible. "I imagine a...get out of jail free card is an item worth saving." It didn't bother her, exactly, at least not now that it had been explained to some extent. It was just strange.

"You have Qilin in your world as well? They have a kingdom across the sea from my own."
