'ello again, Luceti.

[flickerflash]

This time from the right account.

In Katie's plot, I mentioned that Katie's echo would become fully independent of her in September, becoming a nervosa that preys on various things in the village; notably sources of glamour and Katie herself.  Nobody can see it!   You still need to be enchanted on a fae level in order to see it!

But a nervosa is also a nightmare, and so you can certainly dream about it.  If you belong to any of the following groups:

1) those who are highly spiritually aware;
2) those whose magic can influence or perceive dreams or see the future;
3) those prone to night terrors anyway; and/or
3) Children...

...if you want to give your characters literal nightmare fuel, then this is what it looks like. 8|  Courtesy of Ashlee, whose imagination is horrifying and this is completely not my fault whatsoever.

They're just nightmares, so there aren't any adverse effects other than maybe waking up in a cold sweat.  Its presence in a dream can be translated any way you feel like for your character, because it will do whatever terrifies your character the most.  |Db  Though if you are a child, you might also see flashes of a little girl in red with cat ears driving it off, because Katie is having none of that shit thanks very much.  (Adults can fend for themselves, okay.)

And now I slink away again and leave you in peace.  Remember:  blame Ashlee, I had nothing to do with this.

WRONGEST ACCOUNT BUT

i still want to do that dream thing with katie and buffy and, perhaps, jack if saralinda is game. buffy has prophetic dreams as part of her slayer gear so she's a great candidate for this.

[mikangirl]

/matches you on wrong accounts

I would definitely still be up for this! When would you like to do it?

[herotypical]

possibly sometime soon! what sort of timeline works for you? SOONER IN SEPTEMBER OR LATER IN SEPTEMBER?

[flickerflash]

Possibly mid to late is better! It gives more time for things to shift darkwards and she only just got back from seeing John at the beginning.

[herotypical]

awesome. I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

[mikangirl]

OKAY. I look forward to it!

[lostinmyway]

...Trying to decide how hilarious it would be to have Grune dream about this thing, as she's highly spiritually aware but also quite literally fearless. :|a

...Poor Sophie.

[mikangirl]

LMFAO well have fun with it XD I imagine it'll only turn up in her nightmares the once (and then kind of sulk and flounce off to someone who will appreciate it properly, lmao)

If it helps Katie will do her best not to let it terrorise children! She can also dream of little cat knights or something >_>

[lostinmyway]

XD Okay, yeah, I have to do this now.

The reactions of her housemates as she tells them about the cat knights would be great. I'll go check with everyone else to see if it's okay for this to be a thing. :D

[wise_maiden]

/ADDS TO MENTAL NOTES oh Katie ;;;

That visual is very helpful :3

[mikangirl]

She will take it home and love it and hug it and call it George!

...or. Possibly not. >_>a BUT STILL. :D Now you know what Raine gets to see, ahhaha.

[asobouyo]

ELICIA DEMANDS TO KNOW WHYYYY

don't blame me man I just do the work

[mikangirl]

BECAUSE ELICIA CLEARLY HASN'T BEEN TRAUMATISED ENOUGH LATELY HUHUHU

and how

[tolivefortoday]

Spiritually aware? Check.

Child? Check.

Hello nightmares. :C

/same player

[namigational]

Haha, e-enjoy? 8D;; At least as a child she'll eventually get a Katie driving it away in her dreams too and that's a little less horrific >_>a

[tolivefortoday]

That's true! And she's technically a shaman, so she might be able to hassle it a bit before Katie gets there, too.

[namigational]

Ooh, what's she able to do as a shaman? Curious!

[tolivefortoday]

Nothing terribly fancy. Her biggest power is being a plot device seer, but it's implied she can speak and generally deal with spirits as well as speak to animals and plants.

[namigational]

okeydoke! In general, he'sr eally just an influence in people's dreams/nightmares, but if you've got a powr that can affect teh spiritual plane it'd probably affect the nervosa too (albeit it would feel a bit slippery I think?) so if you want to play something out there I'd be okay wih that! or alternately I can just tell you how any encounter would probably go XD

[namigational]

...and from this sentence I can see my keyboard is dying. WELP.

[tolivefortoday]

Live, keyboard, live!

I think the best she'd be able to pull off is changing her own dreamscape on it, provided she can recognize it's even there in the first place, so it would ultimately still be up to Katie to drive it off for good. Would it be something she could sense, like in the spirit-sense kind of sense?

And a dream-off fight vs it might be fun to play out if it does go that way, if you'd like to roll with a thread like that sometime!

[namigational]

well its presence is generally more of a subconscious manifestation, meaning it's sort of ...because it's brushing past people, they pick up on it unwillingly and it manifests in their nightmares. On the other hand, someone who could change their dreamscape on it would definitely attract its full attention and it would likely pay direct attention at that point. |D

Any time you want to do a thread like that, I'd be up for it! I could play Mr Handsome up there for a bit for anyone that wants it, really. |D

[talentsgirl]

Hmmm... sensitives, you say. Is distance a factor here? Like, if a character was in the mountains, would he/she still pick up on this?

[mikangirl]

Normally it would be, because it preys on the minds closest to it-- it's not a pall hanging over Luceti. On the other hand, it's fixated on Katie and will continue returning to her, and she'll be spending a lot of time out that way. So really, there's an excuse for it to be most any places a character would like it to be. |D
