rubi: dreamwalking opt-in

[pharmacy]

In high school, Quentin’s mind was invaded by “dream demon” Freddy Kreuger. Over the course of years of fighting to get Kreuger out and survive to wake again, Quentin developed an ability common to Freddy’s victims: dreamwalking.



Dreamwalking starts with total agency in his dreams and expands with practice into total agency in other people’s dreams. Eventually, again with practice and familiarity with a given person’s dreamscape, this ability can grow into being able to act on another person in their sleep and having it affect their body in the real world.

Especially when he’s in proximity to people, there’s a chance that Quentin has wandered into the dreams of people around him. I default to assuming he has NOT been in any given person’s dreams, but I’d also love to open up the opportunity if folks want some psychic mess out there. If Quentin has been able to see your chara’s dreams, please fill out this form:

<b>Character:</b> <b>Frequency and Timing:</b> How often and when during the day do they dream? <b>Common Themes:</b> Recurring colors, images, events, and other observable trends in their dreams (IE: lots of red, always dreaming of cats, recurring fire dreams, regular people, etc) <b>Overall Vibes:</b> The overall feeling of their dreams, regardless of imagery (IE: calm, wonder, stress, being watched, etc) <b>Has your chara noticed Quentin?</b> Dream-savvy characters or folks with psychic prowess/sensitivity will ping that something is off about him. Has your characters noticed this?

If you want to turn this ability or any encounters they have in the dreamscape into a thread, feel free to PM here or on Plurk tenny_boo to plot a little bit.
