Action: but you never tire of dreams

[ofthebeast]

Characters: Any willing dreamers
Open? Yes
Where: In your minds
When: After the party
What: Part two of the dream plot!
Warnings:


The party went on, with the beast's head on display. A proud, twisted thing. Behind false ruby eyes, it waited. And as the music became slower and the wine less plentiful, it waited still.

Those who had gazed upon it at the ball. Those who had seen it once living in the forest. All heroes who dared to look upon its face and dream still that they would be able to live another day...

There are all sorts of ways of living. In waking. In sleep. Perhaps, now, they would find one in between.

(ooc: Feel free to keep tagging into the party post! Once your characters go home and go to sleep of their own accord, that is when the dreaming will begin. Remember, it is up to you to set up what kind of world your character is trapped in and how best to help them. Plotting post is here, make use of it!

The beast's power will wane once the bulk of the dreamers have escaped his curse. If your character was not at the party but you still want to involve them in the dream plot, that is fine! They can either help get people out or have seen the beast wandering in the woods before it was killed and have caught its attention that way.

The men draw back, swords held yet aloft, so a slim and stooped old man can approach. He is swathed all in simple grey robes and with every step the chains about his neck clink, clink, clink. "Show yourself," he says, but his tones are humble rather than commanding.

[canistricari]

"I am myself!" he replies with a cackle, but after a moment his form settles like sand into the shape of a coyote.

"But if you would prefer something more familiar, will this do?"

[ladysarmour]

"I prefer something that does not set the entire household to a panic," the man responds dryly. "Now, what is your purpose here?"

[canistricari]

He sat up straight and wagged his tail back and forth playfully.

"I am here merely to observe."

[ladysarmour]

"In whose name, might I ask?"

[canistricari]

"None but my own!" He cackles loudly and howls at the moon.
