Some described it as a wall of photographs. Snapshots of important moments in your life, captured in little 2D stills with white borders and tacked to the great corkboard of your mind. Some imagined a vast library, full of shelves or filing cabinets, and that your mind itself was some kind of librarian, sent off to wander the stacks whenever you wanted to remember something. Sometimes the librarian followed a well-worn pathway, easily locating a cookbook about what you ate for breakfast, or an encyclopedia filled with details of your best friend from high school. Other times the librarian had to wander deeper, among the unsorted boxes of mental miscellanea, looking through piles of dusty books for the requested tome on 'Family Trauma' or 'Michelle's Sister's Husband's Name'. Sarah preferred to imagined her memory as a single, handwritten diary. A pocket-sized, leather-bound volume that she could pull out and consult without issue. Entries weren't sorted by subject or importance, but by date. Chronological, not categorial. Perhaps this was a result of her trying to wring every second of useful time out of the day. A fear that any time unaccounted for was lost or wasted. Maybe it was just that she was one of the people who preferred linearity. The result was that she found herself acutely aware of any missing time, and the large gap in her memory between her Precipice Shrine prep and her re-appearance after the raid was deeply troubling. It was like hitting your alarm clock, rolling out of bed and wandering to the kitchen to get coffee, only to find yourself suddenly back under the cover with the light of simulated dusk filtering in through the shutters of your shelter. Where did the day go? Who took it from you?

She gripped the cold ground around the edge of the Precipice Shrine, fairly sure that she wasn't about to fall in. "I don't want to go in," Focus admitted. She was in Noble form, sitting very close to Sarah, and her lavender knight armor clanged softly as she kicked against the side of the pit. "I'll leave you here then if you don't want to go. I can find another high tier Psychic type." She opened her inventory and checked. "I could use Espurr," Sarah said, sounding displeased. Focus grimaced. "That won't be necessary." She whisking the wand held in the tip of her tail, and a line of lavender light followed the path of the wand. She drew a clean circle, and the inside tinted redder and redder, swirling until it formed a shifting portal. The armored fox stood up, brushed off her armor, and helped Sarah to her feet. "How's the egg?" Sarah opened her inventory and checked on the Moltres egg. 'What Pokémon will hatch from this Egg? It doesn't seem close to hatching.` "Still no change." It had been like this for weeks. Sarah had wanted to hatch the egg before heading into the Dream World, but they'd wandered around Birchwild until their legs were aching and the egg seemed no closer to hatching. The pair stared into the shifting portal, wondering just what the other side held in store. The opaque, swirling circle showed no hints of what was on the other side. Not yet. Focus gave a little nod of readiness, and huffed in resignation. "Where to first?" "To the palace. We're going to see Ruby."

Ruby • Player Character Posts: 155 Trainer Class: Player Name: Dr. Ruby Walker Ph.D. OOC Username: Magnere Arena Points: 60	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Ruby on Aug 28, 2023 12:29:36 GMT 9 #s://i~imgur~com/QuIo3YX~png Queen Rubella had been laying about in the courtyard of the Dream Palace. It had been a nice, relaxing place to go when she went to sleep for the night. Spending time amongst the statues, staring at the clouds overhead. Sometimes, she'd try and come up with shapes in the sky, only for the clouds to reform to her vision. It was still strange to get used to at times, but it was no doubt magical. Right now, her Munna was resting right beneath her head as she laid atop the grass. Soft dream mist spilling everywhere. It seemed like the lazy Munna was able to just keep eating and eating in the world of dreams. How curious, and yet, she couldn't help but adore the little one. Murmur was a charm to be around, even if they were even lazier than her Komala. "You know-" She hummed in thought, speaking up as her Munna hummed back in acknowledgement. "Sometimes, I forget I am here. It all feels so real. The Dream World, I mean." She had to clarify for herself, really. The Virtual World, UNOVR, felt so real, that sometimes it was easy to forget that as well. A dream within a dream. How fitting. "But, you're probably pretty happy, huh?" Murmur only snorted in response, and she just chuckled quietly and laid back down again. "I'll take that as a yes." Just as she had glanced back up at the skies again, the clouds shaped like a Caterpie spinning webs with musical notes on them, she heard the sudden sound of someone else here. How curious. She'd slowly stand up to her feet, brushing her Kimono off and freeing all the grass from her. "Good evening," She'd suddenly speak up, still unsure who was there for just a brief moment until recogniton dawned on her expression. "Ahh, Duchess Sarah of Whitehouse, correct?" She giggled quietly at the full proper title, only to just continue on. "A pleasure. How might you be?"

Real memories of the night they had defeated the false princess, and false memories of the person she had been at the time. When Ruby greeted her with her Dream title, the formal response floated to her lips like champagne. "The pleasure is all mine, Queen Rubella." She bowed, her form a little stiff from the snug fit of her own kimono. "I've come to you with a proposal," Sarah said, "I would have sent a letter but, well, you know how unreliable post is between our worlds. Shall we find somewhere to sit?" The pair walked through the grounds of the palace, with Focus following at a distance. Sarah's geta clacked on the stone pathway, and the air was full of a fragrance she couldn't quite place. She smiled as they crossed a bridge over a pond filled with sky blue water. She stopped and looked over the railing, and noticed that the fish swimming in the water were the same shape as the clouds floating overhead. She wondered which side was reflecting the other, and had a temporary sensation of weightlessness. This is the ground. Obviously. The sky doesn't have a roof. Her dream logic worked and she was again grounded. "These shoes take a little bit of getting used to," she joked. They crossed the bridge in a hush of soft fabrics, and Sarah realized that Focus wasn't wearing her suit of armor. In fact, now that she thought about it they were all dressed in beautiful kimonos. She looked around, and found that they had reached a small seating area at the edge of a pond. A waterfall flowed in reverse up the side of a nearby wall, and tiny silver dragonflies flitted across the pond's surface. Sarah took a seat. Dreams were malleable, but they always held a certain logic, and the message here was clear. This was no time for battle or politics. It was time for tea.
