May I opt out? You may if you’d like! Perhaps Zephyr’s been working so hard that they just missed your character in their excitement to get things up and running in dreams.
Okay, wait… this is taking place in two different comms? Yes! wethelost will play host to the first part of the event in mid-December and we will transfer the action over to bigapplesauce to continue it with BA’s late-December dream party. The characters will eventually find their way back to their proper games, though!
Wait if I bring a character in for 4th wall shenanigans, they have to be CRAU? Yes and no! We the Lost is a CRAU kind of party, best to keep things simple after all. Any characters brought to the log posted on the wethelost comm must be CRAU. The dream party on the bigapplesauce comm later in the month will be open to any and all characters, though.
How much CRAU does my character have to have to participate? Any amount will do as long as it’s ICly part of an established game or Dressing Room! Have they participated in other 4th Wall events for other games? Have they maybe popped into one of Applesauce’s monthly dream parties? They are most welcome on the Meadous side of things! If you’re not certain, please just ask the mods!
Does my dream world have to look like the Meadous? Nope, it’s a dream after all, it can look like anything that would pop into your character’s head.
If my character dies in a dream will they die in real life?!?!? Yes. Yes, they will. They will wake to find themselves a few hours closer to that ultimate demise, that equalizer of all things: the grave. We are all of us food for worms and daisies eventually, are we not?
In reality, they’ll just wake up and be a bit confused if anything. What a strange dream! Clearly they need to not drink eggnog before bed.
If my character hurts someone in a dream will they be punished by Zephyr? Nope. It’s a dream after all. Though Zephyr will peep disapprovingly at you. How rude.
Can my character move between dreams? How? They can, indeed! The world of dreams is going to be connected thanks to Zephyr’s meddling, like a web with many paths leading to each person’s little dream bubble. Your character may deliberately leave a dream they’ve entered into by whatever means they have. Or perhaps they’ll only stumble, uncertain how to go about things. You can handwave the exact mechanics of how they tag around to various dreams.
Can my character cause mayhem in someone else’s dream? Certainly! Dreams are dreams after all. Though that’s rather mean of them, Zephyr is just giving you the most disappointed face right now. Please also bear in mind that the owners of the dreams are the only ones who can alter the reality fabric of their dreams. Always be sure to check with the other player if you’re going to do something big, please!
Oh, cool! My character can change their dreams entirely? Up to a point! They should remain holiday themed, and full dream world shifts are probably more the providence of characters who are experienced lucid dreamers or have special abilities related to dreams.
Will my character be aware that they’re dreaming? That is up to you! They may be unaware or fully aware. Even when wandering into another’s dream, they might mistake it as their own. Alternatively, your character is free to point out to others that they’re in a dream. Whether or not the character believes you. Well… we’ll see.
What will characters be doing when awake? Oh the usual, arguing on the bulletin board and wondering what is going on. Characters are free to contact Zephyr to try and piece together what is going on. This after all is something new and strange for the young godling as it is their flock. We encourage mass speculation and characters knocking their heads together to think things through.
What are Kelt, Warren & Ara doing during this? They’re mostly keeping their eye out on Zephyr. They let Zephyr test new waters on their own until they need help. Come time for the event to end, you can expect the trio to step in and help Zephyr rein everything back in. A young god has many untapped powers, but no guidelines on how to properly use them after all.
I heard points mentioned. Do we tally our points the same way as usual with this event? Even when we’re tagging out on The Big Applesauce comm? You do, indeed! Tagging a new character participating in the event will net you those sweet 20 points for new CR. Threads at 10+ comments will get you the usual. You may use any points earned on EITHER the We the Lost OR The Big Applesauce comms for this event for AC points or for wishing points.
So, what if I want to join We the Lost after participating in this? Wonderful! Brilliant! We’d love to have you! If you app into and are accepted for WtL after participating in our 4th Wall/Crossover event, you’ll be able to count any points you’ve earned during the event toward your point totals. These can be used for AC for your first month or wishes.
