(I Met You) Once Upon a Dream

Dreams are complicated and amazing, aren't they? They can be fascinating, fantastical, boring, scary, comforting. You can meet people that are gone from your life, there, or even - sometimes - dream of people who you don't know, yet.

So this is just it. Meeting in a dream.

Warning: some of the prompts can be better avoided by the younger crowd, for sexual, violent, or body horror reasons.

How to Play
- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Reply to others.
- Have fun.
- Make sure you leave people a way out. It may be a dream, but don't tag into a stranger's open prompt with something that might be explicitly disturbing or way too intimate without checking in with them, first.

Prompts

There are two major categories.
I. In a dream.
II. After you wake up.

They have different prompts, but you're free to mix and match as desired - and the prompts are merely suggestions, after all. Go wild!

I. In a dream.

A. Kind of dream.
1. Mundane
2. Fluffy
3. Hot
4. Sad
5. Nightmare
6. Fantastical
7. Free for your imagination.

B. Kind of meeting.
1. You know them in life. You meet them normally - friends, allies, acquaintances, coworkers...
2. They were once part of your life, but they're not, any longer. Left for good, you fought, they're no longer living...
3. Strangers.
4. Enemy! Defend yourself! Or maybe reach a truce.
5. Free for your imagination.

C. Kind of dream experience.
1. You are as you are in the waking dream - same gender, abilities, etc.
2. You're enhanced - you can do things you don't, when awake, like flight or supernatural strength or knowing a different language, or something else that you normally lack.
3. You're depowered - whether you have special abilities and they don't work in the dream, or you're lacking something else that you usually have - sight, mobility, speech...
4. You're physically changed - different gender, different race...
5. You're a different age - younger or older.
6. Free for your imagination.

II. After you wake up.
A. Kind of dream.
1. It was a lovely dream. You have a great feeling that stays with you after it.
2. It was a horrible dream. Nightmare, or it just went on and on...
3. It was a confusing dream. You're not sure how to feel about it.
4. You don't really remember much about it. But you think there was something...
5. Free for your imagination.

B. Kind of an encounter.
1. Expected - bedfellow, roommate, friend, colleague, and you get to tell them about the dream.
2. New - you met that person in the dream! Or they're just a stranger you feel like you should share the dream with.
3. Impossible - how is that person even there?
4. Enemy - why them? Why now?
5. Free for your imagination.

C. Anything else you want!
Did you wake up with a skill or ability you didn't have? A new fear? A secret you never knew before?

[ While it might be strange that Morgiana didn't sleep well when the others did, it's not as if they really knew that. The girl was good at keeping everyone at a distance when it came to her own problems, if they just so happened to look her way. Fortunately she didn't have to worry too much about it: there were several other things to keep them busy ~~as well as prettier girls~~ which is why she can be found perched on the ceiling tonight.

See, when Alibaba invited another women into his chambers (read: was dragged off by another one of her sisters, Morgiana took it upon herself to make sure nothing ill was going to happen. There will be no secret assassination attempts or anything else of the nature... except she's noticed he's sleeping alone.

~~Couldn't even keep a lady in his bed for an entire night, sheesh Alibaby!!!!~~

ANYWAY, when he comes to (if he ever comes to), there's his girl up on the ceiling. How she's managed to not fall down all this time is something short of a miracle, but if he looks hard enough in the dark he might be able to see those darkening circles under her eyes. ]

[Alibaba wakes with a jolt and a a strangled scream that sounds like a cross of the noise an eternally damned soul within the deepest pits of hell might make and the scared little squeak of a bunny that's just encountered a snake.

It takes him a couple of seconds to stop shaking and realize that he's alone in his bed. Great God, he had met another one of Margeret's freak sisters and this time he had been so sure that he wouldn't be able to manage escaping in time...]

Haha, thank god it was just a dream~ [Yes, yes, it's good to be alone at night after all! Of course he'd rather share it with a pretty, nice girl but if it's Margaret and co. or staying a virgin forever Alibaba will gladly embrace the celibate life.]

Huh?

[Was that a tiny piece of ceiling that hit him just now? Haha, what a nonsense this is a solidly built building! The second best hotel of the place! There's no way anybody cold just sneak inside of his room!

Wait.

Why does he have this ominous feeling as if somebody is glaring at him from behind?

And it's above him, too.

Don't tell him-]

Hugyaaaahhhh!!! I'm so sorry I brought you along!! Please not the happy hour late time special!!!

[Glaring eyes in the dark, please don't eat him! Or his virginity!]
