buttrinthum | March 2025 OOC Intro & CR Meme

• OOC INTRO + CR MEME •

Welcome to the game, newbies! To our current dreamer crew, glad you're still with us! This post will act as an OOC intro for new players and a CR meme for everyone. Below you will see the CR meme form as well as a Event Outline for our current TDM. There will be a "Sleepr" post later this month, this coming weekend infact! Low stakes fun CR building. Look forward to it! We will have an updated quest post going live later this month also.
• Event Outline •

Expand to see our Event Summary
Garden of Dreams

dreamers are brought to the enchanted garden
two flowers, Corpse Flowers and Gibralter Campions are causing amorous feelings and intense feelings of hatred.
Outside of the garden, newly arrived Dreamers are guided to the town of Somnius, from there they can choose to settle in the unfriendly hamlet or choose to explore further, beyond the portal and into the land of Lumindeas.
Something... A little Romantical

Dolph Laserhawk is hosting a speed-dating event at Club Quartz
Those seeking romantic OR platonic connection are encouraged to attend
Even those who would not normally be interested feel a magical compulsion to attend & an overwhelming craving for connection with others
Guests may find that their informational placards are already magically filled out for them
There are a list of questions to potentially discuss, some of which were not put there intentionally by Dolph
Those who feel a connection are encouraged to participate in mini-games (spoon passing, hide & seek, charades, jump rope, three-legged race)
Nicefield's Nest

A strange settlement has appeared at the edge of Stellari, with buildings that resemble both those of Lumindeas and Visium
Beings that resemble rabbits, called Loporrits, emerge from the building
They are obsessed with helping and want Dreamers to help each other too
Dreamers are asked to poll fellow Dreamers about their satisfaction surrounding the world and report back to Pollingway and Surveyingway (Loporrit npcs)
The Loporrits are building a help center, but the Lumindeas government is not necessarily reacting well
Dreamers are asked to go complete good deeds for others while the help center is being built
Dreamers are asked to try various Loporrits businesses and help advertise to spread the word
The Loporrits are very persistent and doing as they ask is the only way to get them to leave you alone
Cleaning Efforts & Haywire Powers

A revitalization effort is taking place in Visium
Mytra is providing materials to help smash up the crystal in Visium, and is encouraging the use of destructive power if necessary
Seravo is asking for samples of food, water, soil - anything - from Visium to study the phenomenon occurring there
only while within visium, Dreamers' abilities are going haywire
abilities are behaving strangely - engaging at random times, diminished or increased effects, inability to control, etc.
Dreamers are also experiencing random gold/blue/red potion abilities even if they have never drunk a potion - random bursts of elemental magic, random animal transformation, random healing abilities, etc.
Dreamers are also sharing abilities; standing too close to a Dreamer with an ability will cause the other Dreamer to start displaying aspects of that ability (diminished from their full power) for a short time
Suspicious Message

Some receive a suspicious message on their phone from an unknown user (this is opt-in; if you wish to opt-out, simply assume your character didn't receive the message)
Dreamers feel compelled to respond truthfully to the message, but once they do, the result is publicly posted for others to see/respond to
"If you were to suddenly feel someone's hand in your own, whose hand would it be? But whose hand would you want it to be?"

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character Name: Junah Cygnus
Canon: Metaphor: ReFantazio
Character Age: Early 20s
General Info: Junah's a famous singer in her home world, but she's also a member of a Resistance working to break the crown prince's curse. Their ultimate goal is to install him as the rightful successor to the throne. To pull this off, she schmoozes infiltrates her way into the main antagonist's good graces in order to find information on how to break the prince's curse. She's pretty headstrong and carries herself with an air of confidence...... under normal circumstances!! Unfortunately, she's lost her magic here, which is a Problem given that she's from a race that disguises their true forms with magic. Without that magic, they'd be stuck walking around as their 2-foot bobblehead selves. Incidentally that's how Junah finds herself right now, so that's a little harrowing WHOOPS (here's what she looks like RIP).

Desired CR: tbh anything goes for Junah! She's fairly easy-going and isn't too put-off by more abrasive chars since she's not afraid to stand her own ground. Though in general, she'll probably be pretty good at drawing more reserved or shy chars out of their shell! Otherwise come one come all I open my arms wide for All the CR...

Monthly Plans: I'm floating the idea of putting up an open log/mingle at one of the local businesses for a game night sort of log? idk I saw people saying in the game Discord saying they miss playing party games IC and I will be frank I want to see chars throw hands IC over Monopoly so I am happy to enable. If people are interested in this I'd be down to get something going!

RP Wishlist: No wishlist here But I think Junah is a char who is better at helping enable other chars, so if you have someone who needs to be pushed a little out of their comfort zone Junah's feeling more secure about being 2 feet tall now and happy to tote others along into shenanigans. Otherwise. Opens my arms again.

Anything else: Finally got off my ass to fix up Junah's journal and I'm taking suggestions for what to replace "header title" on her navigation page with. Let's hear those ideas...
