thegamesooc | Once Upon A Dream

Well over a year ago, Capitol TV held a great big special on Tribute families. That is, everyone had people from their worlds brought in, family, friend, and enemy alike. These guests were informed the whole experience was not but a dream and for many, that dream ended in a nightmare.

Now, the Capitol has opted to bring this TV special back, taking a literal turn with their guests being part of a dream. A 'no mess, no stress' experience. Are the guests real and being held somewhere? Are they merely spectres skillfully played to likeness? That will all depend... On the seventh day, the dream will end and your character may well be none the wiser to whether a given Vistor was truly there. But the threat the Capitol makes with these is very much real.

Visitors may be entirely fake, real, or such realistic copies that the person whom they were brought for may very well wonder if they weren't here for a very brief time. Visitors will not be told that you're competing in death matches. In fact, they won't be told anything at all this time. They'll be in a world of dreaming and whether they recognize this or not is up to players themselves.

Visitors may also be Panem AUs. In fact, you do not have to be a Tribute to participate in this event. If you play a Panem AU, they may ICly have purchased tickets (or been given some free) allowing them to participate in this event and roam among the dream. Even characters in District 13 will get the chance to participate in this event for a brief time.

This dream will be one shared by all, though they may take off in different "directions". NPCs will only be around within the dream. You are free to take some liberties in the dream - logic can be played fast and loose, time can repeat itself, language doesn't have to make perfect sense, and minor things about the setting can change at your whim. If your character imagines and knows themselves in a different way than they physically are, younger, lacking scars, so on, this is also a possibility for them.

If your character dies in the dream, they simply wake up, but threats on Capitolites and the Capitol itself will still, of course, be met with punishment-- if your guest is a definite fake, you may find said guest trying to root the treason out of you into the open.

Threads with NPCs will not count towards Activity Check unless there is at least one other PC. You cannot get the new CR bonus for threading with an NPC.

There will be seven days worth of dreaming, with the atmosphere and setting of the dreams changing each day. Once the plot has started, you're encouraged to start your own plots and do open and closed posts. If you want to do a somewhat larger plot, please contact the mods and we'll help you set it up and set up a plotting post in here for it.

If you are NPCing and are already part of this game, please fill out the following. If you are not a part of this game and intend to NPC there will be a seperate screened post for you.

Faaaabulous. I suggest you sign up if you haven't already, and you, Toph-mun, and I should get together and talk. Aang hasn't actually seen anyone from home except Zuko for nearly a year now, so he's going to be very uncertain about how to deal with seeing them, but there will probably be hugs involved.
