Delyna Karthoys Haymire
The Oracle of Reflections
OOC:
Every character who fell asleep at 23:41:29 is welcomed to join in.
If your post number for your entry post ends in an even number, your character does not remember what happened during this RP clearly, as if half-remembering a dream. Others will be able to remember the details much more fluidly.
When you jump into the thread, your starting location should be within eyesight of the group. Even though the story takes place within a dream, your character is unable to do anything it can't do in real space.
Your character will carry whatever they usually have on their person with them into the dreamworld.
Prelude:
The empty hallway leading to her room carried the sound of Delyna's footsteps across the corridor. Due to the clinically simple and sterile walls this particular hallway was quite alike that of a hospital. Without the small bulbs of light evenly distributed along the hallway, it would have been completely dark at all times. There were no windows and nothing to tell you if you were in space or stuck somewhere, how fast were they moving right now?
She didn't actually know why she was in this place, the details were all a bit blurry. Someone was taking her somewhere, or something along those lines.
With each step she took the door dawned closer and closer. It didn't take more than half a minute before she could reach out for the panel and hear the hiss of the door opening. The room was a bit different. A comfortable steel framed bed with plush, white cotton and two large pillows. At each corner of the bed a large incense candle stood ready, and lightning a match she lit each one of them. She kneeled down before her shelter for the night and pulled out a small, blue jar from under the bed. The lid was stuck for a few seconds before it slid off, revealing the paint-like substance within the jar, all in a bright blue colour, matching that of shallow water on a warm summer's eve. She painted a half circle on her forehead and put the jar aside. As she let her body fall to the soft covers, she turned her head, looking at the digital clock. 23:20:09.
It took her twenty-one minutes, and twenty seconds to properly fall asleep and enter her dream world.
In recent times, the rift event known as the rapture which sent billions to another realm had left a rippling chaos in the power of the force. Something which caused mysterious effects all over the system. All manner of things had been reported, from force pushes reversing into force jumps, mind tricks killing targets and simple failures to bizarre, seemingly unrelated effects. Today was one of them. Delyna Karthoys Haymire would normally enter her dream-like-state herself, and most of the time she would be able to stay somewhat conscious and move around in her dream world, doing all sorts of things as if physically there. Today, some of the people in the wide universe who fell asleep at the exact same time, at 23:41:29, found themselves waking up in an unrecognisable location.
Phase One: The Pale Beach
This place was certainly... New. She was barefooted, and she was standing in.. Water? It was not exactly cold, nor warm. But sort of a room temperature. She could feel the water softly brushing against her feet as the massive body of liquid was pushed forward by gravity. No more than one or two inches deep, this sea seemed unlike anything she had seen elsewhere. The sky was nondescript at best, grey and boring. Judging from her shadow the source of light was right above her. As Delyna spun around a few times she took in her surroundings. To one side was an endless sea of seemingly shallow water, to the other was an endless stretch of seemingly pale sand. Multiple humanoid forms lay on the beach nearby, some were blurred and motionless, while others looked like they were getting up.
Besides the addition of other people, everything seemed rather normal so far.
