dream a little dream ★ open

[hackingyoursensors]

[ A faint mist covers the dreamscape and, for a moment, there is only silence. Suddenly, an unseen child speaks right next to your ear: ] Catch me if you can!

[ The child laughs and the mist dissolves into an expansive foyer. It oozes luxury and old money; the floor is polished to a shine and you can practically smell the lemon-scented cleaner that surely must be used to keep everything so sparkling clean. The child isn't immediately visible, only the silent manor. The front door just opens to the foyer again. But nothing prevents further exploration. Everything is clean and well-lit, but completely devoid of people. The longer you linger, the more distorted the area becomes. Ceilings become impossibly out-of-reach, the stairs become uneven and twisting, and some hallways are so narrow they can barely be passed through.

After awhile, they'll hear the same voice again, coming from high above. A small figure is sitting on a chandelier the way someone would sit on a swing. It changes age every so often, going from five years old to twenty, but it's Dick Grayson. ]

Come on, slowpoke!

[ He leaps from that impossible height and lands with a flourish before opening a door and running through it. The manor starts to shrink until the only option left is to go through the door. The door opens to another fog-covered area. ]

About time. Let's explore.

( ooc: this dreamscape can be affected by another dreamer! when the door opens, the other character's dream can take over. if nothing happens, dick's subconscious will take over and continue his dream. go wild! )

[It's like trying to keep up with a songbird up in the trees. Jason keeps running and following Dick's voice. He doesn't really know what's happening but it feels like it's important to keep up. Plus, him trying to keep up with the golden boy isn't anything to him. He's all too used to it now]

Where're we going?

[hackingyoursensors]

[ A caped figure lingers nearby, too far away to discern any detail but his voice still carries easily. ]

Anywhere we want.

[ The fog slowly lifts and outlines of trees appear. ]

[robintohood]

[Jason jumps and shows off his acrobatic skills as he follows the voice through the trees]

You're on, bird boy!

[hackingyoursensors]

[ Dick laughs and lets out a whoop when he sees Jason's skills.

Eventually they come upon a beach right alongside a mountain. Mount Justice, former home of the League, current home of the Team. Dick is standing at the edge of the shore, dressed as Robin and looking a little put-out. ]

I guess they're not here right now.

[robintohood]

[Jason stares back at the mountain and beach. It’s a nice scene but he doesn’t recognize it]

Who’s not here?

[hackingyoursensors]

My team. [ Dick sighs. How long has it been since he last saw them? He doesn't remember. Dream-time is fuzzy at best. But it feels like it was so, so long ago. ]

I guess we can explore anyway.

[robintohood]

Sure. Maybe we’ll find them. This whole place looks nice.
