[Pepper is grinning from ear to ear. Behind her, ribbons and paper decorations in an autumn color scheme have taken over the walls of the townhouse she lives in. She's even affixed a bow in her hair, and it looks like she's done battle with something glittery.]

Guys. Guys, guess what.

Guess who's twenty-one?

[Spoilers: it's her. Somehow. She was 17 when she first arrived in Keeliai.]

If this were home, that would mean I could legally drink alcohol, which is kinda a big deal, but less of one here because they don't have the same rules. I can barely believe I've spent more than three years in Konryu, it totally flew by. Anyway, it's my birthday on November 12, but Bakura and Gene had birthdays at the end of last month, so we're throwing a combo-box shindig for all three of us.

If you know us and you want to come join the party, let me know! There will be tons of food because half of our friends are bottomless pits, and party games that will either be hilarious or super awkward, and we can pretend like it's fall and maybe find a pile of leaves to jump in.

Who's in?

[ Three days before the masquerade, most of the Dreamfolk will receive this message from Aifaran's resident digital menace. She'd intended to send this only to the cute guys, but well... you know how she is. ]

WILL YOU GO TO THE BALL WITH ME?

[ Considering the last instance of Yato's face being flashed all over the network - and the rest of the city, for that matter - was a horribly unflattering picture of him, one could be forgiven for almost not immediately realizing that this is the same person. But it is! Though he looks far more subdued than most people in Aifaran have ever seen him. ]

Hey, Aifaran. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but I'm back. Or-- if you don't remember me...

[ The way he says it is quiet, like he expects that to be the case. ]

... then I'm Yato, nice to meet you all.

---

[ OOC - For those unfamiliar, the living can easily forget about Far Shore beings like Yato once he's not around, even up to the point where their memories alter themselves to exclude him. Feel free to have your character remember him or not - even if they don't at first, their memories are likely to come back once they start interacting with him again. ]

[ A scan of one of the missing posters posted around Aifaran appears on the network early in September. It looks to be a filled-in template, with a rather unflattering drawing of the said missing Dreamfolk. ]

[ Call it intuition, but after seeing and responding to Pepper's post, dread settles in the pit of Ilda's stomach and she goes off to look for Yato. She's been told that their stay in this realm isn't permanent, and she's actually had a few friends disappear in the past — Lobco, Tony, Eiji — but Yato's a different case entirely. Best friend in Aifaran aside, he's a god, and gods can fade out of existence if nobody believes in them...

She spends hours searching the city for him. She texts him, calls him; she even goes to to the beach, to the spot where they first met, a heap of copper rhinn in her hands, screaming that she has wishes for him to grant.

When he still doesn't turn up, she resorts to a public video broadcast. She looks exhausted, but it's the worry in her eyes that's alarming. ]


H-Has anyone seen Yato?



[ ooc: Worry not, Yato's just in the Dreaming! But, as someone from the Far Shore, interactions with Yato tend to fade from memory... it’s up to the player, but the characters may or may not remember him. Please refer to this post by Li for more info. ]

[There is silence when the broadcast starts, interrupted only by several shaky breaths like whomever is there is trying not to cry. In making this announcement, Pepper is conceding to the reality of loss that has confronted her for four days. Her voice is small and full of sorrow when she finally manages to speak.]

Bakura's-- gone.

[They both knew they were living on borrowed time, that inevitably one of them would be bereft of the other. That doesn't make the grief any less painful. He's dead in his home world, and he may not come back as her Bakura if he ever returns.]

If-- if anyone sees him-- tell him to come home.

[OOC note: Fear not! Bakura is on Dreaming walkabout and will be back. Pepper of course does not know this.]

[ Yato looks positively ecstatic when the video turns on, practically vibrating in his seat, and he's holding up a weird little thing, made of twisted bits of fishing net, a broken lure, some seaweed strands, a cracked shell, and some other assorted marine bits. In other words, it looks exactly like something you'd reel in off a snag on your hook (and normally throw away), except someone's tied a bow of old twine on it. ]


I've finally got it! My perfect solution to making more of an impact in Aifaran! This is an Erol'an good luck charm!

[ He caresses it fondly, like its presence is a dream come true! ]

An Erol'an mystic woman sold it to me when I was down on the docks doing a job! She said she sensed a strong, positive aura from me, and this would help me focus it, all I have to do is keep it with me at all times.

It's going to work, I can just feel it!

[ Sorry, everyone for this early wake up call, but Sheena's just had another nightmare, and is reacting without thinking.

And hitting the "video" button without realizing, revealing her shaken and disheveled state. ]


Okay. Just what the hell is going on with these dreams?!

[The post is timestamped from mid-morning, and because it's a text post, easy to miss.]

We have all had a restless night. It's clear from the conversations I have overheard that these visions are widespread, and further, that they are all about a strange event concerning a ship from several months ago.

I was not in Aifaran at the time of the ship disaster, but even a newcomer such as myself can tell that this is a source of distress for many of us. This distress can easily become chaos and panic, and worse.

What I lack in knowledge I hope to make up for in service: I propose that we collect brief accounts of all the visions and dreams experienced thus far so they can be easily referenced and analyzed by those adequately informed.

If you would all leave me a brief description of your dream, I will put them in some kind of order and make them accessible to the public.

In the interest of fairness, I'll start. )

[ Minutes ago, there had been a scream as Ilda jolted awake. And in the dark of the night she'd panicked, the sight of the not-quite-familiar room making her think that she was still in the jungle, with the inky mass of... something trailing menacingly right behind her.

She'd stumbled out of bed and out of the room, her new roommates momentarily forgotten.

When she'd finally sent out a message, she was up on the roof, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. ]

But if you’re have a little trouble with that, why not make a wish?

CALL YATO NOW and get 24/7 wish-granting for just one copper rhinn! It’s fast, reliable and affordable!

So, uh, I could use some help.

[The video is clearly being filmed outside, and the camera is focused on a little white bibiru with a crooked wing and patch of brown fur over one eye. It is doing what bibirus do best: look cute and eat grass. Kit's voice is audible before he turns the yimo around so he can be seen by the camera.]

Help me name this damn thing.

[he points the camera back at the bibiru and whistles once to get its attention. It perks up cutely, ears and nose a-wiggle. It squeaks.]

[In the early twilight hours of a very hot and muggy morning, there's video on the network showing nothing but a dark wall. It might be some kind of misdial, except misdials on the network in Aifaran aren't possible. A prank, maybe, but X's name is attached to the video. What kind of prankster doesn't remain anonymous?]

Can we --

[He cuts off, with a pained yelp like he just stubbed his toe on something. He's still not in frame.]

-- go to hell.

[For anyone who's known X longer than a couple of minutes, the fury in his voice, the ragged scream, even the phrasing -- all of it is so incredibly uncharacteristic that X seems to frighten even himself.]

No. No. You're all wrong. Your family was wrong, you're -- you are better than you think you are. It can't be over. Nothing is ever over, not even when -- you think you're safe, you know, you think you know what life is all about, and then you look up and there's fire in the sky over your home and you never see it again. But let's face it, who am I to lecture upon what is reality and what is myth?

[If it sounds like the haggard and broken rambling of someone who's insane, that's because it is.]

No, wait -- sorry. Sorry, I'm… I don't. I don't know.

[The camera finally moves, slowly, and X appears. He looks terrible. He looks like a child who's woken up from a night terror, drawn in and crying, desperate for help. The sight of his own face on the camera makes him stare.]

Oh.

I'm sorry. I'm -- I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I swear, I didn't mean to.

[The video cuts off there. Whether on purpose or by accident is anyone's guess.]

(OOC: It might take X a bit to respond to anyone, so please feel free to threadjack each other in the meantime!)

Hey there, Aifaran.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm officially opening the Konryu branch of Stark Solutions.

I do repairs and custom technology solutions for... just about everything. I've done everything from skyscrapers and jet fleets to disco roombas. Oh, and flying power armor. If you've seen one of those around, that's me. Not taking commissions for those right now, but that's some of my work. You can call it proof of concept.

If you want a consultation on a project, contact me for an appointment, and if you need repairs, just drop by the shop.

[An address is attached.]

If it's tech, and it's broken, I can fix it. If it's magitech, no promises, but at least if it blows up it'll blow up me instead of you. [Tony grins.]

And if you just got here and need a charger for your out-of-universe personal device, I do one free upgrade for any new Dreamfolk.

[Please come give him work. He is so bored. Also, he took out a loan to cover equipment and rent on this place, and he needs money.]

 [ The video feed turns on directed towards a young woman wearing designer sunglasses, a shimmery, rich teal colored dress, and sipping a martini. She's in the outdoor seating area of a restaurant, but still appears to be trying to out-dress other patrons seated near her. She smirked and wiggled her fingers in a little wave. ]

Hey. I'm not that new, but I've been sightseeing and busy, the weather's great and we have that upcoming tourney. There's a lot to take in, a lot more than anything you can see on a tiny screen. So I decided I should just multitask on my lunch break! [ Tips glasses up, gives a wink. ] If anyone has dessert recommendations, I'm all ears. 

Primarily, I love getting new contacts. Maybe we can eat out together next time. I'll make it worth your while! Just tell me what you're looking for. A friend? An employee? A guide? [  She lowered her voice to a mock-hush. ] If your life is spiraling and you want to lay down on a sofa and have someone nod to your problems, I'm your gal, but more scandalously and importantly, if you need fashion advice, I won't tell anybody and we'll have you fixed in no time. 

[ Raises voice again. ] Seriously, though, hi! I'm Lyn, or Lyndon Frei to be more specific. But call me Lyn when I'm this pretty. It's Lyndon when I'm only slightly less pretty. [ Looks around, then shapeshifts to his male form for just a second and in a teal coat instead of a dress. Another restaurant goer chokes on their food a bit, and Loki bites his lip to keep from bursting out laughing. Shifts back to female again. ] "Less pretty" was a joke, by the way.

I have something in particular to ask about, if you've listened this far. Anyone notice anything odd happening around them? I'm not referring to runaway Munga odd or any other relatively normal odd you're going to find in a cultural, species, and magic melting pot. What I mean is your powers not acting as they usually would. Possessions that are just a little off, not how you remembered them. Something strange is in the air, and it might be useful to compile the different incidents for reference and comparison. If you've seen anything, however small, might as well note it. Watch for it. Get back to me.

[ She picks the dessert menu back up casually and peruses it. ] ...Maybe I'll order all of it. I deserve that.

[A bright, green eye fills the screen for a moment before a young woman pulls back from the lens. She looks a several meals and a few nights sleep short of healthy, and she's decidedly disheveled. Her grey clothes, stained with soot look rather old fashioned as well.]

----this how it works? Ah, quite. I see the little light.

How remarkable - and no smelly chemicals? ...Papa would have been over the moon about this.

[There is a slight hint of regret or sadness in her tone at this, but she seems to settle, and the view from the camera steadies. She at least seems somewhat familiar with the concept of photography.]

The nice... ...er...

[She glances to the side of her at the Kin'nal who helped her, but he's already wandered off, clearly done with her many, many questions. She carries on, regardless.]

The nice lizard said that this is the best way to speak with other Dreamfolk. Isn't that a peculiar thing? We are Dreamfolk, but this isn't a dream. Or so he says. How would you even test if something's a dream or not if you're in the dream - a pinch would hardly do - you could just be dreaming the pain like anything else.

...The cat hasn't shown up with any of his cryptic nonsense though, so suppose there's that to be thankful for.

I find it hard to imagine there are people on the other side of this camera, but that is what I was told. It sounds like a rather elaborate ruse, but I am a Dreamfolk outside of a dream - perhaps common sense is also hung out to dry.


...Meeting others has... never really been my forte, but it couldn't hurt to try.

My name is Alice. Alice Liddell.
