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.

[ The reaction is instant. He takes a step forward, reaching his arms out and getting down on one knee to be more steady himself. Or he might just fall too.

He still wobbles a little when he catches her, one palm flat against her shoulder, and he leans against the counter to steady himself. ]

Ellie?

[tonsofpun]

[Woah, hey, woah. She grips his shoulders, steadies herself, flashes a shaky smile.]

... huh, that's better.

[Touching him has actually banished the awful, sick feeling, or at least made it bearable. She still feels a touch iffy, but it's not bad.]

I wasn't feeling so good for a second there.

[hadbadays]

[ There's a pause, as the hint of a smile twitches at the edge of his lips. ]

To be honest ... neither was I.

I think it might be connected to the ... seeing something thing.

[tonsofpun]

... so what did you see?

[She asks it uncomfortable, fastening her fingers on her arm without reservation. Hell, he's her doctor. He's seen this and worse.]

[hadbadays]

[ He takes a breath, and puts an arm over hers, lightly squeezing. ]

There was a doctor. You were showing her your arm. Asking if they could make a vaccine, with your help.

[ Which doesn't necessarily mean something good for her, at all. If she holds the answer ... People would do anything, wouldn't they? And she's obviously ready to do anything too, for the sake of the world.

It's exactly what he would have expected from her, but it hurts to think it. ]

[tonsofpun]

Sounds like a good dream.

[Thoughtfully. It makes her smile a little, hopeful.]

I saw something like that in your head, too. You were talking to Sherlock about figuring out how to cure me.

[hadbadays]

[ Of course she thinks it sounds like a good dream. A bit of a ... different perspective. He just wants her to get to be ...

But who knows. ]

Yeah? And? How'd that go?
