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.

"That's very ingenious." Tara laughs happily at the idea. "Did they find out you stole the moon?"

[canistricari]

"They never did!" He giggles, now utterly writhing in amusement.

[shadedsunlight]

"Did you put the moon back?"

[canistricari]

"After a while..."

[shadedsunlight]

"What happened after that?"

[canistricari]

"A great many things," Coyote answered loftily.

"Far too many to tell all at once!"

[shadedsunlight]

"How about beginning at the top?" Tara asks enthusiastically. Ginia laughs quietly and gives her daughter a pat on the shoulder.

"Now, now, Tara, be mindful of Coyote's time."

[canistricari]

Coyote laughs hysterically. He loves nothing more than a good audience, and the child makes for an excellent audience.

"Don't be silly! There's little to entertain me elsewhere while all of you are sleeping. Would you like to hear about my glass men?"

[shadedsunlight]

How can we be asleep if we're here talking? is the immediate thought in Ginia's mind. The castle flickers again, almost fading away completely before it comes back in its full state. She frowns slightly, hugging Tara a little closer to her.

For her part, Tara seems entirely unconcerned. "Yes, I'd love to!"

[canistricari]

Coyote can almost hear the question, being in her mind like this. But being Coyote, he either doesn't hear or doesn't care or both.

"When the Great Spirit created man, I was curious! So I tried it for myself!" He started laughing again. "But partway through, I started laughing! And my men turned to glass!"
