January Event Details

It's time. Nyoi-cho is a world full of hope. The people bustle about their day in peace. Children laugh, business people work, and this timeless little town smiles cheerily as dawn turns to dusk. However, when night falls, something sinister takes hold. All of the worries locked deep inside begin to fester, tainting peaceful dreams into something dark and twisted. People die in their sleep sometimes. Others simply never wake. And sometimes, people simply go missing... but why worry when you can't hope to change it? The town is ravaged by strangeness, warped by repression, and locked in a never-ending cycle of day and night. At least, they are until tonight. The Birth of a Miracle. Welcome to Nyoi-cho! Your characters will arrive from that world between worlds and enter directly into a nightmare. I hope they're ready to hit the ground running, this will be their first true test as magi. But not to fear, little fighters; this is the dream of a sick child. Their soul is not yet corrupted enough to pose much of a threat, so as long as you keep your wits about you survival will not be hard! The nightmarescape is primarily composed of bright colors, toys, and fragments of games - but there's a sinister, malformed look to them. Familiars appear as shadows or corrupted toys. The First Night. You'll find yourself in a completely unfamiliar place. The world looks like a child's playroom, all bright colors and simple shapes. Skyscrapers made of building blocks and stagnant, stiff clouds against a too-blue sky dot the oddly sparse landscape. At first, you might feel at ease. Perhaps you're accustomed to strange settings, or perhaps this is merely more peaceful than what you were in before. But before long, you hear voices. They babble to one another in incomprehensible voices, chattering in the shadows and following you as you slowly pick your way across this bizarre city. Just when you think you're safe, the creatures make themselves known. Surrealist impressions of toys and children's fairytales come from the woodwork, and while they were once keen to follow and watch, they know want to play with you. It's just a shame their games are lethal. The goal is to survive. Get accustomed to your abilities, learn how to fight, transform and test your new limitations. It won't be easy - the only word you have is the word of Kyubey, and it seems that he could not follow you into this place. The Second Night. As the nights wear on, you'll find that survival is becoming harder. The labyrinthine nature of the nightmare might begin to take its toll as you struggle to find a way out, and characters will find that it will become easier to start giving in to doubt and fear. Part of the reason for this will be the second group of familiars that show up. These are 'bogeymen' like familiars, creatures that appear to be floating pairs of eyes draped under carpets or around dark corners. Unlike the other familiars, the bogeymen aren't there to actively attack characters: rather, their presence helps dredge up feelings of fear and terror in those who see them, whether it be by making the characters think of frightening events in their lives or just downright heightening the terror or doubt they may already feel. They can be destroyed/cleansed like any other familiar, though as long as characters are in their presence, they'll feel more put off and frightened than usually. The Third Night. What sort of sight awaits the characters when they finally make it to the center of the nightmarescape? You'll have to wait and see!

Name: Luci
Contact: eclectica


Character: Davesprite
Wish/Powers: here.
Info: Davesprite is Dave except everything in his life went real, real wrong and then he turned into a ghost bird. Here, he at least has a corporeal body but he's still a feathery asshole and it tends to make him stand out. He's a "coolkid" who isn't actually all that cool, into lame pop culture and irony, likes to rap, and pretending to be a high caliber douche but is actually a really dedicated and caring person once you get to know him. Davesprite would do pretty much anything for his friends, and... probably anyone else who he thinks needs his help. The hero gene is strong and also that's just what sprites do, alright.

His power will cause him to teleport to anyone who needs him or just thinks about him enough, so if your character meets him and you want a good excuse for him to (inadvertently) come to the rescue during this plot there's your in! Otherwise he'll probably be flying around, kicking names and taking ass.
Seeking: I'll take whatever u got
Anything else: Expect tags between 5 and 10 PM PST during the week and whenever the heck during the weekends. I work and I'm slow as haaaaaaaaale.

[orchid_horror]

I feel like Rose and Davesprite will definitely need to interact at some point, but honestly I am fawning too much over that crow with the shades to come up with anything constructive. what a good bird

[sicknasty]

they definitely will, he will be so stoked to finally meet his sispal that he might say "sup" with a little inflection and everything

this is my FAVORITE BIRD

[orchid_horror]

Inflection!! Rose will be so flattered. Also, does the "thinking about Davesprite" power work for only Davesprite, or would it work if she was thinking of generic Dave too? Because let's be honest, with a bunch of creepy dolls around, there's no way Rose is not going to think "omg if my ecto-bro were here he'd be shitting his pants."

and every bird is my favorite bird in all honesty

[sicknasty]

regular "Dave" will work in name only, but if she's specifically thinking of alpha dave it won't! he'd be mad af if it did though, oh my god. and he will definitely shit all kinds of pants. why is it ALWAYS creepy dolls

[orchid_horror]

Hmm yeah, I mean she's technically thinking of a trait that all Daves share across the board, but given that she just spent three years on a meteor with alpha timeline Dave, he would definitely be the specific Dave in mind.

Though it's not like there will be any lack of ways of making sure they bump into each other.

[sicknasty]

true, he will probably go looking for his friends first considering that his entire existence revolves around helping them, particularly Real Dave, so rose can have alpha dave shitting his pants and then davesprite shows up and it's just a pantshitpalooza, two for one special. and she didnt even have to pay for admission

[orchid_horror]

why must she suffer so

[sicknasty]

write a fanfic about it rose.

[orchid_horror]

maybe she will

[ceasetoexist]

Considering Pokey was pals with a Dave in Mayfield and Cosmos, he'll be kind of unsure what the deal with Davesprite being the way he is at first but will probably try go get to know him since he is, as far as he knows, still a Dave.

[sicknasty]

wise move, he is definitely Still A Dave and will pretend like he doesn't care either way but will secretly be glad to get treated like one :'(

just............. ignore the wings and the sword sticking out of him and its fine

[ceasetoexist]

Man. You Daves are just the masters of self-esteem heartbreak, aren't you?

[sicknasty]

i have no idea what youre talking about....................

T_T

[tchyeah]

Lame pop culture is Jade's favorite kind! These two need to meet and be dorks at each other. And bemoan about time travel causing more problems than it fixes.

She'll totally think his wings are cool, for the record.

[sicknasty]

GOD DANG FRICKING TIME TRAVEL................ they can definitely be the biggest of dorks. and she can admire his magnificent plumage. which he has no business being proud of because it is huge and awkward but oh well.

[tchyeah]

Let her tell you about time travel and how it nearly led to the end of the world where she comes from! Among other inconveniences.

But mostly she will be a dork who will be envious of Dave's awesome wings without realizing how inconvenient they are. Just don't mind that she's from 2001 or somewhere around then...

[miasmajesty]

so

dirk thinks really hard about where normal dave is and gets dspry instead y/n

[sicknasty]

if he is specifically thinking of alpha dave it won't work, i figured it would get hectic....... but if its just the name dave w/o giving it any thought then yeah you can totally have the wrong dave and he will have his feathers all kinds of ruffled about it >:(((

[miasmajesty]

so like DAVE DAVE DAVE DAVE DAVE suddenly bird dave???

i mean technically he is aware that he has double daves

[sicknasty]

yeah the fates dont care, a bird is fine too. YOU SAID DAVE THIS IS DAVE NO REFUNDS BYE.

[soulflash]

Please, Mr. Cool Kid... Teach Lilith about the world. She knows nothing and is incredibly naive eager to learn!

[dokkans]

#coolbird, let's discuss heroism

Also, teach her of pop culture since she actually has no idea what the hell any of you kids are talking about

[selfbegot]

Okay so I don't have a huge amount to add here but

1) I fuckin' love this feathery asshole; and
2) This Madoka's originally from the third timeline, and it's nice to find someone else from another timeline where everyone just up and died??

in summary: burd and deer cr, y/n
