PrP J&V - Starlight Dreaming (WdFDO?)

[Titania]

First thing first, before even looking at the sunbathers - funnily enough, snakes sunbathe too - she has to decide whether this is going to be a meaningless dream or something more.
She's a learning animal after all, and so she decides to check the tides, trying to spot any pattern in the movement of the waves.
What she sees has a deep and impactful set of consequences, but rather than process it right away, she just staggers back, almost falling on one of those cute sand castles.
"W...wow", she lets out, catching her breath.

The waves roll gently up to the beach in asynchronous rhythm. Watching them Titania is filled with a sudden sense of light....

Images race in front of her, a single bright star in the sky, sparkling over a rainbow that glints with gold at one end.

The dream is not tied to the winds of fate, that much is clear. Something about the nature of the sand and sea make it too regimented, constructed. But everywhere there is a sense both of belonging, and yearning. The source, Titania can tell as the flush of senses is almost overwhelming, is a tall, slender woman sat in a lounger further up the beach. Her short dark hair is tied up and she has large shades, sunning herself in the glorious weather.

As a result of that roll, I felt I had to give you something to reflect it.This is a non-prophetic wish fulfillment dream, and Titania has correctly identified the Dreamer form those scattered around the beach.

What the wyrd gives, the wyrd takes away. And so she finds herself unable to grasp the real subtext of the dream.
Still she's relentless in her pursuit, like the Goddess Aphrodite she emerges from the ocean, heading straight to the girl while ignoring the stares.
"Hi", she says, offering a polite smile.

The sunbathing girl looks up lazily, and smiles. Her huge sunglasses hide much of her face.

"Hey. How was the water?"

She looks along the sealine, and reaches to the side, taking a glass of a brightly coloured drink full of ice, and sucks on the straw.

"Isn't is beautiful? I could just stay here forever."

The waves ripple calmly, creating a relaxing backdrop of sound.

To figure out what's happened, you can roll Int+Occult to put together the pieces.

[Titania]

"Yes", she nods absentmindedly, too busy with patching together the different clues.
So, they fell through a hole and into another Sleeper's dream. By association, the transition made sense.
Though, what happened to the man?

The Dream was coming apart. She was waiting for the time when the dream would end. The Dream ended, she lost her grasp, and he fell... but the falling was only a perspective. He was no longer dreaming, he wa sleaving the Dream.

It hits her. He isn't here, because he is awake.

Titania flailed out to grab a hold of the nearest place, and grabbed a hold of a random dream. She was off the path of the Oneiroscope, and now has landed.... somewhere in the Dreaming.

The woman sits up slowly, and looks over the edge of her sunglasses. "Is everything alright? You look like you could do with a drink."

[Titania]

"Ooow", she pouts. First she left her friends in order to help the mortal. Then the mortal forsake her and there she is, stranded on a tropical beach.
It was just a dream... though she's heard of a series of contracts that may let you enter the dreaming physically.
Anyway, since she's already here and she's already wearing a bikini, might as well accept the hospitality.
"Yes, thank you", she says politely, letting herself fall on the deck chair besides the other woman.
"I'm Eleanor"

[Xadun]

"Maggie," the young woman says brightly. She reaches down to one side and passes over another tall glass, equal parts orange and red and brimming with ice. "Here. Tequila sunrise. It's delicious."

Maggie leans back and sighs happily. "So..... Come here often?" She rolls her head over to watch the changeling.

Overhead, the sky starts to turn red as the sun begins to set.

Titania is more than free to enjoy the beautiful dreaming sun - we can draw a veil over things here.
Saber Sloth would like me to get things wrapped with these scenes - they've been going nearly 2 months - and the others have got their info and I'm looking to wrap them up shortly as well.

[Titania]

She exhales, figures she could relax a bit and bask in the sun.
That's right.

Good to go

The Telluric drifts gently in the well-deserved dream-sun, drinking her dream-cocktail.

Closing up.
