action/text | a few days before the party

i. action (locked to alisha/rose)

[Sorey and Mikleo have pretty much been sleeping like the dead for the past couple of weeks, following their accidental fight with the Dragon; their breathing is steadily, and they don't seem too debilitated by the long nap, but they also, worryingly, won't stir out of it.

until now -- both of them start to come awake at the same time, turning onto their sides, one of them letting out a queasy sort of groan. this is not an entirely pleasant revival.]

ii. text (open)

hey sorey and mikleo here

sorry if we worried anyone we accidentally got in an argument with the dragon again

we don't recommend doing that by the way. it looks like we were out of it for a couple of weeks. did we miss anything important?

iii. action (open)

[...or if you'd rather talk to them in person a little later in the day, they'll emerge from their room eventually, though probably nowhere too far -- kitchens, library, that sort of thing. they're kind of wobbly and look unwell, though not too terribly so.]

Comments

[guidance]

Awakening can mean many things. It may be that the planet requires a direct explanation - factual and devoid of any excess.

[oneandmikleonly]

i'd be happy to give it that if it's not trying to attack us at the time, honestly. do you think there's a way we'd be able to pull that off?

[guidance]

Yes. It can happen even if it is attacking as well.

[oneandmikleonly]

...i can tell you how you may be able to find the part of the planet that might listen, then. at least, that's what i believe it is.

[guidance]

Instruction would be most appreciated. I can do seeking while you and Sorey recover.

[oneandmikleonly]

thank you.

i don't know how it can be reached while awake -- i suspect you have to go very deep indeed. but if you're asleep, or something like it, follow the void song into the dreamscape, and aim for the void. i'm not sure what determines finding the planet's soul instead of the dragon; perhaps it's a matter of intent.

look for...a sensation of falling asleep again within your dream. you'll pass into a place that's full of green light; green light and emotions. it's extremely intense, but...it's alive, too, and it didn't seem to mean us harm when we came across it.
