⇨ OPEN MORPHEUS MINGLE

[npcarnival]

Who: Anyone who wants to talk to Morpheus.
When: Any time during the Realm of Dreams.
Where: The Realm of Dreams™
What: Talking to the god of the Realm.
Warnings: Weird dream shit.



It’s not hard to find Morpheus, not if you’re really looking for them. The dream realm can be difficult to navigate. If you wander without purpose there will be no end to the strange sights and sounds you encounter. However, if your intent is clear it won’t be long before you find the thing you seek, or before it finds you.

Morpheus is no stranger than any of the other creatures that wanders this realm, but still their appearance arrests your attention. Their form is ethereal, somehow difficult to comprehend. They seem ephemeral and substantial all at once. Beams of color and strange array images pour from their head, obscuring their face. There are creatures, both real and imagined. People and objects come quickly to life as they move and just as swiftly fade away again.

• They don’t say anything at first if you find them, only turning to regard you calmly. They watch and they listen, but they aren’t one for idle conversation. If anything is to be said, it is clear the words must first come from you.
• Negativity is the bane of Morpheus’ existence. The nightmares that sometimes form here are made purely of destruction and malice. They are the antithesis of Morpheus’ purpose. They are not creatures Morpheus tolerates idly. If you find yourself in danger it is not unlikely that the Realm's guardian will appear. Of course nothing is guaranteed.
• Please don’t harm the phantasms. These simple creations, the products of dreamers, are the composition of Morpheus’ entire existence. Each unique and therefore special to the guardian in it’s own way. They may may seem a patient creature, but interfere too much with the phantasms or their dreamers and you’ll likely see Morpheus before long.

That was what she expected, and also told her a great deal. Zecora would be the last one to ever say she'd learned little from these answers.

"My third question is open and free.
What, if anything, would you like to tell me?"

She'd asked two questions for her own purposes, so it seemed only fair to let Morpheus have a chance to talk to her about anything he might want. And his choice, or lack of choice? Informative. Always informative.

Another confusing question. Like implied there was a desire, and yet Morpheus could not think of anything that they desired to share with this newcomer. They were sure the zebra had heard about their realm already from their comrades. Even if she hadn't, she had easily found them here, surely she was capable of navigating, among many other things, on her own. So what was it that Morpheus wanted her to know?

"...Be careful."

She had kind of been hoping for some cool eldritch story of lost dreams and horrors, possibly suitable for a long-running comic series later compiled into graphic novels and starring not only Morpheus but his siblings as well.

But that answer was perfectly satisfying. Zecora bowed low to him in gratitude. "Thank you for taking the time
To answer this zebra's curious rhyme."
