Day 515 ( Sept. 25/26 )

Progress through the ice blockade will be slow and narrow, as they can't possibly hope to clear the entirety of the forest that has been buried under Thiazi's black ice. Now that they know the source of her magic's corruption, it might not come as a great surprise when cracking open the ice unleashes a strange burst of magic.

At the halfway point between Utgard and Asgard, a pulse of energy will move through the entire city, immediately putting every mortal it touches to sleep. This part of the curse is mandatory and your character must fall asleep; the dream effects of it are not mandatory, and can be played with at your discretion. During this first wave, Travellers will be granted a brief dream - that does not belong to them. They will see, from the dreamer's point of view, every hope and goal and aspiration that the dreamer wishes to complete before the end of days. Whether it's simply confessing their love to an old friend or saving their home planet or perfecting an Asgardian pie, your character will see someone else's ideal resolution before Ragnarok. More on plotting this below!

Upon waking, the Travellers will be plagued with the indistinct whispering of several voices overlapping one another and a slight headache. Both symptoms will gradually increase over time until it reaches incapacitating pain and nausea. The only way to assuage the symptoms is to find the owner of the dream and either maintain physical contact for an hour or discuss the subject of the dream until a full confession has been made. After that, the symptoms will fade and the Travellers will be free to carry on with their day.

There will be other pulses of magic at random throughout the day; these are not mandatory and you can feel free to have your character experience as many or as few dreams as you wish. All dream-sharing will cease by the end of the day, as the blockade progresses past that centre-point of magic.

[damselled]

But you could have been.

[sleight_of_hand]

But I wasn't~!

[He flashed her a cheeky smile, before his expression calmed down a little.]

C'mon, can't you let someone worry about you for once?

[damselled]

But you could have been, and that troubles me greatly. Any one of us might be injured - or worse!

[But she giggles.]

Oh, very well. But can't you allow me to worry over you, too?

[sleight_of_hand]

Nope; not in my description as a police officer.

[But he was grinning, clearly joking around.]

[damselled]

Well, then, it is a good thing that it's in my description as a noblewoman.

{She chuckles, joking back with him.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[He grinned slightly, but his expression wavered quickly.]

Hey... can I ask you something?

[damselled]

Of course you may.

[sleight_of_hand]

What the heck do you see in Hanamura?

[...blunt much?]

[damselled]

My, what a... forward question.

But very well. He's friendly, outgoing, and entertaining to be around.

[She hesitates a little, blushing, before...]

He's also rather handsome, too.

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi wanted to gag.]

O-oh... I see.

[damselled]

Hm?

[She knew Adachi and Yosuke didn't get along, but... what.]

[sleight_of_hand]

Ah... it's nothing. I just...

[He really needed to shove his foot in his mouth no--]

...thought you'd be in for the older, more mature guys, that's all. Eh heh...

[...and failure.]

[damselled]

I enjoy the company of any who are willing to be gentlemanly - at least in some fashion - and I will not simply dismiss a potential suitor based upon age. Besides, in my world, I have been courted by those younger than me as well as older.

[They all failed, of course.]

[sleight_of_hand]

O-oh...

[...so she dated a lot of guys, and shot them down? Somehow that was... kinda hot. Hard to get?]

W-well I didn't... I mean...

[damselled]

[Less "dated" and more "had a bunch of noblemen ask her father for her hand in marriage without thinking to consult her about it".]

Then what did you mean, exactly?

[What is he getting at?]

[sleight_of_hand]

I... i-it's nothing.

[Nope. Just... nope. He still couldn't deal with the fact that she apparently was okay with him. He couldn't handle much more than that.]

I just... hope you're happy. That's all.

[damselled]

Happy?

[She frowns at that for a moment.]

I cannot truly be happy when a war is going on, Tohru. But... thank you. I shall at least try to find happiness where I may.

[sleight_of_hand]

Right...

[With the garbage pail kid. Just fuck his life.]

[damselled]

And you - are you happy?

[She does so wish for that, along with her other friends in this place.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[No.]

Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

[damselled]

[Somehow, she doubts him.]

Because of the war, perhaps?

[Among other things. They have been forcibly dragged from their worlds - but then, Adachi had said he didn't like his.]

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh... well, yeah, that sucks, but I've got a good job here... and people that look up to me, and someone I like, so...

[He trailed off at that last part, not... really sure who he was talking about there. I-it was Harley. Definitely Harley. That's his girl, after all.]

[damselled]

[That's right; he had mentioned someone.]

If I may ask, what is she like?

[sleight_of_hand]

Well... s-she's lively, and fun; she can be a little stubborn and wild, but just so it makes things interesting.

[...wait, who was he talking about now?]

[damselled]

She sounds quite interesting! I would very much like to meet her, if that's alright.

[Hi, Adachi, guess who's clueless.]
