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.

[[There's a shape in his path as he runs, draped in silk that twists like flames around thin legs, the head of monster with gems for eyes that would be familiar to any who lay trapped in the dreams it had spun for them.]]

[ It's only when Helios turns back around and sees that flame and creature in his path that he audibly gasps and stops in his tracks. His expression is a mingled look of confusion, horror, and sheer terror as he looks back over his shoulder into the darkness. The sounds of those beasts getting ever so closer to him as he stops in his running. ] W-What?

[[She says nothing, simply watching, the gem eyes sparkling with inner flame as if in a challenge.

Which do you fear more, Helios?]]
