S46 Recap: Dreams & Drama

General Summary

Dream Time Motherfuckers! > Corayas starts off his dreams like normal before that dream bubble pops and he's in a sea of stars and bubbles! > And oh what's this? Corayas.... TWO‽‽ > #DreamyBoogaloo > Nah that's just Ório, he's an oneiros that gave Corayas his magic, it's chill. > What? Oh yeah no, Corayas was devoid of magic at birth and would've died as soon as the umbilical cord was cut if he hadn't dreamed so hard from day negative 49 > #Wild(Magic) > Ório: “So anyways, wanna go watch the dreams of your loved ones while I've got you here on Hypnos?” (Corayas: “YES!”) > DM: “Nova...” > (Glitch: “Shit Shit Shit Shit”) > “You see a village through which two large rivers flow, one of water black as pitch and the other white as milk. A large man with grand antlers like a towering crown and a wild mane of hair stands next to an even larger woman flanked by two lions.” > (Glitch: “Shit Shit Shit Shit”) > “The man is cradling a #SmolPurpleBean in his arms; face awash with love and pride.” > “This is a version of your father who has not suffered the hardships of the mines” > Now that I'm done gut-punching Nova with Feels™ they get another warning about the dangers of name dropping, some minor clarification on Aphrodite's gift, and some more crumbs about The Burden™ before the dream shifts away > Up next is Isati! Yes, this was definitely the next event to take place over the course of this session. I'm sure there is absolutely no timey wimey shenanigans happening here. > #NoneAtAll. > “Isati one second you're wrapped in your father's arms and the next you being spun around in circles, wrapped in the arms of the exile.” > We pause for a moment to acknowledge the exile as a he/him butch lesbian before returning to our regularly scheduled gushing about love > #He/HimLesbianAppreciationHours > Isati gets to draw some tarot cards and is informed she might get to meet another friend of the exile's soon since he's relatively nearby! > Also the River Styx is here too. > I'mSureThat'sNotImportant.gif > #JaguarTime!!! > After giving and receiving assurances of Truth & Sincerity Kirin is directed to a gate of horn where haunting blue eyes beckon from the shadows. > She must choose between twisting streets and gilded trails which in no way have any relation to the shapeshifting street urchin or the ranger with golden ichor in his blood > #NoneAtAll. > Kirin makes her choice and finally gets to visit Gévaudan! Also goes rat hunting while she's at it. This also has no deeper meaning. > But it was at the crossroads that Corayas lost track of our new friend the jaguar (#She'sReallyNotThatNew) so let's see what's happening over with Serenas... > Trauma. Trauma is what's happening. He is getting yelled at by a terrifying relative and having all of his happiest memories ruined by said relative interjecting herself into them. He does not get a good night's rest to say the least... > #SerenasAndTheTerribleNoGoodVeryBadNight...TWO!! > Romad on the other hand comes home to some recoloured feline friendos and a singing husband(!) doing paperwork upstairs > That is until he is shaken awake by Marilyn; because apparently he'd been sleepwalking??? > Also he has a magical sharpie black eye > #FuckingFirDarrigs > Anyways back at the bunkhouse Nova awakens fully cognizant of consequences. Apparently all it takes is their mom being the one to tell them. > #WhodaThunk > This is also definitely not the point where Isati had her dream. That totally happened ages ago. Totally. > Serenas gets his hand tangled up in his hair trying for a messy bun look, Kirin warns against sending letters in mafiaville, Corayas goes out on a coffee/cocoa run, and Isati gives out hugs to varyingly receptive recipients > Serenas' very specific coffee order is denied outright and Corayas just barely manages to avoid crashing into Romad who quickly stealths into an alley > Romad also goes from being a firbolg in very tight clothing to a halfling in very baggy clothing. > He walks into the bunkhouse with enough confidence that the only person to recognize him is Isati who knows clothing and has recently gotten a lot better at seeing through deception > #Temperance #StardustCrusader > And that's where we'll end it for tonight (or like, after some casual text RP on discord where we make some beach plans at least.)
