⇨ THE REALM OF DREAMS

[ringleaders]

Who: EVERYONE!
When: S1:D8 - S1:D18
Where: Visiting the Realm of Dreams.
What: The carnival arrives at a new location and has its first performance week with the new cast, as outlined here. This is a general mingling log for convenience purposes, but players are welcome to make as many other logs for this purpose as desired.
Warnings: Could be a lot of things, around these parts.

THE REALM OF DREAMS↴ As the carnival arrives at its first stop since its recruitment phase, and prepares to put its new band of workers to the test. In the meantime, there is a whole new world of dreams and nightmares to be explored, and threats to be faced on carnival turf. As of S1:D11, the carnival will be opening its doors to the creatures within, and the carnival will be open daily from noon to midnight, though the connection to the realm will be constant. This is an all purpose mingle log for the full duration of the stay, so please mark top levels with some estimate of what days they'll be occurring on. Please bring any mod questions to the original plotting post.

It's hard not to laugh at his joke, and so she does. It eases her, calms her, gets her mind away from her dreams. This is real. The nightmare isn't.

"As long as you're still eating and talking -- well, talking about eating, I guess. That's what matters, right?"

"Maybe not as nice as hearing better, but they don't get in the way of what's important." He nods sagely. "It's taking a little getting used to, and my harmonica career's taken a downturn, but I'll persevere." He picks up his hand and nods for her to go first.

[waitingforplayer2]

She does, playing her card and looking at her hand. But the gears are still turning in her head.

"They must be useful for something..."

[fragileandsoft]

"Maybe it'll make a nice bird perch. Or I can hang laundry from them." Very definitely not planning on goring anyone anytime soon.

[waitingforplayer2]

"Hmm." She sits thinking as they keep playing the game. She's not bad, and kind of missed just sitting and playing cards with someone.

"I guess we'll find out, right? Sooner or later..."

[fragileandsoft]

"Playing the waiting game," Greg agrees as he lays down a card. He's hardly an expert himself. It's been a while since he last got to play this with Steven, but it's a nice little diversion.

"Seems the only way to do stuff around here. Stuff happens sooner or later, so not a whole lot of point worrying about it right now."

[waitingforplayer2]

She nods. In the quiet, she's realized that she's almost forgotten about the nightmares she had. So time did help to heal that, at least a little.

They play a couple of rounds; she loses one and he loses one. Then she stands. "Do you want some breakfast? To go with your bananas, I mean."

Her improved mood is certainly noted, and Greg will take it as a small victory. He can't do a lot for people, but the little distractions can still help.

"Can't live on potassium. Pancakes're another story." He stands, and stifles a yawn. "If this week's anything to go by, living on coffee's about to be a standard."

[waitingforplayer2]

"I don't like sleeping much anyway." She yawns. She only sleeps when she has to, which is as little as possible - although catching up now sounds like a nice idea.

As do pancakes. As she shuffles behind Gregto the food, she murmurs a quiet thank-you for the game.
