    Rhodes
    Mein

    Mein: Rhodes has pale whitish skin, elfin ears and deep, overly large emerald eyes. Thin black veins broach the surface of his skin like the roots of a tree emerging from the ground. Dark, broad leaves sprout from his wrists, ankles and temples, spreading around the back of his head. Deep red flowers bloom at the temples and wrists.
    Mantle

    Mantle: A breath of icy wind, the kind that penetrates and sends a chill down the spine. Ash leaves in red, yellow and gold spin into existance around him, caught on the breeze. As the wind blows, unnerving whispers can be heard, always coming from a direction just out of one's field of vision.

    The Autumn King chuckles sinisterly. "Well, of course. Contracts of Dream make it easier, but you're welcome to try here. I encourage it, in fact. Try a small change, see how easy it is."

    He looks to Sonnie and Abraham."We certainly can. Now is the best opportinity." He turns to Abraham. "In essence, yes. Your mind knows what your body is like, and replicates your physicality in the dream.... but it is important to remember a mentally proficient individual can also be physically skilled in the dream. It is how you apply those strengths. B7t you are correct, we can utilise the environment as well."

    Rhodes looks at Sera, smiling. " Well! If you've done it before, Sera, perhaps you'd care to assist me in a demonstration, hmm?"

    He spreads an arm and takes a few paces back into the space.

    A striking brunette in her 20s with deep blue eyes, shoulder length hair and a 1000-watt smile. Her features have a radiant beauty to them. She styles herself after the latest fashions, never forgetting to add a touch of tradition to her mises.

    Mien

    The elegant and armonious movement of the celestial spheres is reflected upon her hair, galaxies dance across the pitch black background in clockwork-like precision, delicate specks of moondust blaze down in her wake, disappearing just as they touch the floor. Her eyes, like star sapphires, shine in tandem with the globes of light that dance around her, floating like planets swept around a Sun.
    Titania

    Mantle

    A field of roses under the glistening pale moon of a star sprangled spring night. Occasionally, midnight blue roses emerge from her hair, their petals swept by a gentle breeze, just to fade into the bed of sparkling diamond moondust left in her trail by her mien, vanishing without trace soon thereafter.

    A roguish smile spread across her face, going from cheek to cheek. "Very well", she said softly, setting her jaw. It was subtle, but it took a lot of effort nonetheless. A bouquet of lilacs emerged from the ground right by Rhodes. She looked at the King, then nodded toward another Spring, barely suppressing a giggle.

    Mask:

    An alluring young beauty, Sonnie Wu is 5'2" and lean-bodied, with a light, nimble step and eyes that seem to say "Hey, you know what would be fun?" Her reddish-brown hair often seems slightly unkempt, and an amused smile regularly plays on her lips. Sonnie is usually dressed casually or for outdoor activity. She almost always wears a pair of red leather tabi boots.
    Mien:

    To the eyes of Fae, Sonnie's feet are like those of a monkey: Toes as long as fingers, with one on each foot being opposable like a thumb. A long monkey tail protrudes from the base of Sonnie's spine, covered in hair the same shade as her head. It appears to be prehensile, and often moves to react to her mood and dances about when she speaks, like people who "talk with their hands." Finally, her brown eyes turn golden.

    Sonnie smiled as Titania successfully created her bouquet, "Oh, let me try!"

    She stood back and focused her faerie essence on manipulating the dream stuff before her, trying to get it to remold itself into a prop of her choosing. After a moment, a beanbag chair of enormous proportions appeared. It was green, and made of a soft velvety cloth and looked extremely comfortable. It could probably seat several people and leave plenty of elbow room. It was practically a beanbed.

    "Yay! I did it!" The Beast excitedly jumped into the air and did a flip into the beanbag, where she quickly made herself comfortable. "C'mon, guys! Plenty of room to join me! We can watch Sera and Sifu duke it out from here!"

    Small changes, huh? He watches the shows of ingenuity by Titania and Sonnie and decides to contribute - while testing the limits of his skill and possibly gaining some dream credit. A 'win-win-win', as it were.

    He focuses on the surface below the beanbag conjured by the Steepscrambler. It takes considerable effort, but eventually the floor tiles rise in a rectangular podium, taking everything upwards by about two feet. There are even steps leading to the top for convenience.

    "I believe if one is to watch a demonstration, one should take the best view possible" He grins and ascends to secure a place next to the monkey-girl.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded gold and diamond scales extenuate the rare greenish blue color of her aquamarine eyes. In the right light, or when her mood changes, her eyes seem to illuminate from within, it’s a very gentle glow. This is the ocean lives in Sera's eyes. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the ground, spun silver and emerald. Perfectly placed tiny pearls can be seen woven throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There is an iridescent scale like skin that pulls delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmers and has three curly points.

    Cherry blossoms gilded in gold bloom from her hair, tumbling down as a warm rejuvenating spring breeze gently kisses the air with the scent of freshly cut grass. The sound of birds singing can be heard as the wildflowers grow and bloom in vibrant colors where she walks, swaying and lively in the breeze.

    Mental notes were taken as he spoke. All valuable information to tuck away to expand her knowledge.

    And then the smile and the question.

    She had done it before, but she had a gut feeling that Rhodes was the more skilled opponent. But, not one to back down, she smiles and nods.

    “Sure.”
    She replies, moving forward. The long dress giving her the illusion of gliding across the floor. “How did you want to do this?” asks the Treasured, already formulating a plan in her mind. A lot had changed since her first Dream Combat. But this was for fun, no survival.

    The sudden appearance of the flowers made her smile again. Then the bean bag chair! “Oh that looks comfy Sonnie!” she gushes. And then Abraham’s podium.

    Sapphires turn back to Rhodes and she holds her arms out.

    Rhodes applauds approvingly. "Well done, all of you! Now, the pressure of altering the dream may have seemed simple because this is a wish dream. If you can find things that align with my wish, they are easy to shape and sculpt."

    The Flowering looks to his 'opponent' and winks. "As I said before, you can attack physically, relying on muscle memory, or with imagination, using the environment. Sera? Care to demonstrate?" He spreads his arms wide, autumn cloak rippling, waiting.

    Yes, he's inviting her to demonstrate an attack. This could go badly....

    Notes on Oneiromach are here.

    Orianna, If you want to subtract beforehand, Rhodes has a defense of 4 and armour of 2.

    It was unexpected and she almost falls from the platform Sir Abe has so masterfully conjured, thankfully, Monkeylady's comfortable couch and her wisps are there to soften the fall.
    "Ah, let me try something", with a flick of her fingers, a boxing ring of flowers and autumn leaves spurts from the ground, its four ropes are spun of golden and silvery silk that like a fluid float in the air of the library, "This is amazing. Win for us Lady Sera!", she cheers for their champion.

    Sonja lay on her stomach on the giant beanbag chair, feet in the air, head supported by her hands and elbows, and she cheered for Seraphina as well. "Yeah! Win one for the Spring Court! Woo woo woo!" Her long monkey tail pumped in the air like a fist.

    In traditional chivalric tales it is the knight that does the dueling on behalf of the damsel. But what happens here has nothing to do with tradition, and the role reversal is welcomed by Abraham as exciting and fresh. Besides, something tells him Sera is a delicate lady only when she chooses to be.

    He refrains from words of encouragement, electing to watch the demonstration in silence.

    Treasured Nix

    Smiles were offered to Titania and Sonnie, the encouragement was nice. And the boxing ring? A cool touch.

    But this was just for fun, just for a demonstration. And technically, she’d only done this once. But she remembers.

    The smile remained as she looked to Rhodes, her Mantle flaring as petals fell and were uplifted in the breeze.

    The Treasured drops to one knee, her eyes not leaving the Autumn King as the petals began to form and build around her knuckles. The gilded edges catching the light and having a more metallic look to them. These weren’t the beautiful petals they once were, these were hardened and ready to inflict pain.

    What few people knew about Sera was she trained to fight.
