The Labyrinth of the New Moon

Most of Union was familiar now with the second world that had so abruptly inserted itself into their lives. They called it the Dream World: a place where fiction became more real than reality and where the imagination knew no bounds. If it weren't quite so intrusive, some might even find it an amusing place to visit - there were secrets to be uncovered here, surely, where the mental barriers of friends and enemies were relaxed, and powers to be taken advantage of. Who wouldn't want to host a pool party every night?

For a week, the people of Union continue to pop in and out of the Dream World until most have grown tired of the seemingly random nature of the disappearances. Low mutterings and disgruntled complaints begin to spread throughout the city, but it seems as if no one truly knows how to stop it. Giant fans to disperse the fog are suggested facetiously once, and a number of Fan Rotoms are seen working hard the next day... But such efforts amount to nothing.

On the night of the seventh day, something changes.

Those who pop into the Dream World tonight will realize immediately - the landscape has changed. Dream mists still swirl and eddy at random intervals, but the Neutral Spaces have grown dark and shadowed. There's no ominous feeling of danger, but rather... alertness. The sense that something unusual is about to happen.

Up in the sky, a shadowed moon gleams with a faint luster. A new moon. ...This is impossible, of course, but then, many things are impossible in this world. And no matter where you head, it seems as if each step takes you closer to that black moon, a gaping maw in the twilit sky... Step forward, retreat backwards, close your eyes and flee. It matters not. One more step and it has devoured you whole.

There is the sensation of falling, of spinning, of coming to an abrupt halt without feeling an impact. But when you open your eyes, you are not alone. Two or three others you may recognize are with you, and a long corridor stretches out before your group with doors dotting each side as far as the eye can see.

Welcome to the Labyrinth of the New Moon.

[OOC: All plot logs for people in the Dream World will occur here. Please make the first post with all the names of the people in your group in the subject line so people know where to post. Mod responses will come about once every 24 hours as long as at least one person has posted.

The group listings are here. We will not be running randomizers anymore, but you may still sign up with a full group of at least three if you can find one and tag in. Keep in mind though that the log may not be finished depending on when it is posted. You may also hop in an existing group as long as all existing group members give permission and the group is not full.]

Shaking doors. Because that's not ominous or anything.

[Peter takes a deep breath to calm his nerves, queues up Detect, and pushes the door open.]
brandnewshoes: (Serious)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-10-26 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Get ready. Just in case.

[Case in point, she swings her staff out, pointing it at the door to be ready. Adol and Dogi take positions on her flanks.]
usedstringshot: (Facepalm)

...oh gods, why is this my life?

[But fine. He'd sworn to protect others. Admittedly, he hadn't taken people made of pencil drawings in a bizarre dream world into account when he had, but there wasn't any reason he shouldn't help them.]

HEY! Calamari-for-brains! Why don't you try picking on someone your own size?

[... She isn't going to ask, but people are in danger so she's taking her crossbow out and Jasper's tail is beginning to spark.]

We can figure it out later, let's just save them!
brandnewshoes: (Awkward)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-10-26 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Th-this is pretty crazy, actually!

[But... being erased is like something from a horror movie. Estelle spins her staff with a flourish, then she points it at the octopus, and yells after Peter; she agrees with Quinn, in this case.]

HEY! DROP THE ERASER!
tagteams: (▽ that i will be ok)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-10-27 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... Nice look?

[Saying that awkwardly to the headless person who now has her head THIS IS WEIRD. But she notices that eraser incoming and moves out of the way from getting crushed.

Becoming 3D doesn't sound a big threat, but this drawing world is the home of people and of course she will protect them from a terrible destruction.

Don't worry, we will get the Spherement back! What does it look like?
brandnewshoes: (Thumbs Up)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-10-27 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Estelle jumps back quickly from the eraser, barely managing to get away from it. Then she frowns -- hey, she's three-dimensional! -- and nods, quickly. Maybe people shouldn't become three-dimensional until they're ready to.]

[Or maybe applying logic to a dream world is crazy.]

We're on the case!
usedstringshot: (Grin)

[personal profile] usedstringshot 2014-10-28 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Peter himself manages to easily evade the earthbound eraser.]

We got you covered.

usedstringshot: (Thinking)

[personal profile] usedstringshot 2014-10-28 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah, that probably should've been obvious. Quinn, Estelle, with Bounce, Agility, and my wallcrawling I've probably got the best chance of catching up to him and getting him back down. See if you can slow him down from here.

[Peter uses Agility, upping his speed as he runs towards the building, where he Bounces to get himself part of the way up, and starts wallcrawling after Professor Octopus.]
brandnewshoes: (Thumbs Up)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-10-29 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Good work!

[She shoots a thumbs-up at Peter, then she looks at the girl and nods. She sees the bombs coming -- and true to form, being pretty flexible -- she lifts a hand up. A bolt of fire launches through the air, trying a bomb before it gets near Peter.]

I got your back or I guess your top! Don't worry!
tagteams: (▽ it always dislikes any changes)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-10-30 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Imagine a 3D circle. That's what a sphere is.

[Forget questions and stuff, it's battle time. She takes her crossbow to shoot the bombs off path while Jasper decides to fling Thunderbolts to distract Professor Octopus from hitting Peter (and avoiding the electrocute Peter of course.)]

We got it down here! Keep going!
usedstringshot: (Wait what?)

[personal profile] usedstringshot 2014-10-31 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Peter keeps climbing, and climbing, and damnit, he knows he's faster than this. Quickly, he turns on his Warp Band's communicator]

Guys, please tell me I'm only imagining that I'm not actually getting anywhere?
brandnewshoes: (Groan)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-10-31 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I could tell you that, but I'd be lying! It's like it's endless, from down here!

[She frowns.]

That doesn't make sense, though!
tagteams: (▽ that guy feels fear of a pitfall too)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-10-31 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
I know, but we are going have to bring the monster to us then!

[Which... she isn't quite sure how but firing a few bolts straight towards the octopus might do something to focus her.]
usedstringshot: (Wait what?)

[personal profile] usedstringshot 2014-10-31 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kit fires off a Confuse Ray, hoping that it forces the Octillery to knock itself off the building.]
brandnewshoes: (Furious)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-10-31 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It can rewrite space so he can do that--crap! Uh, maybe if we...

[She frowns, at a loss. How do they do this? There has to be something -- some trick to get around its power to wrap around space. SHe looks down, thinking, and then she looks up.]

STOP BENDING SPACE AND TIME TO YOUR WILL SO WE CAN HIT YOU!

[That's frustration boiling over.]
usedstringshot: (Thinking)

[personal profile] usedstringshot 2014-10-31 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peter wracks his brain, trying to come up with a way of stopping Professor Octopus.]

Treble! It's a Held Item. MAGIC ROOM!

That...just might work! Good thinking Peter!

[The Klefki focuses, and quickly a strange gridded pattern spreads throughout the area, hopefully deactivating the sphere.]
tagteams: (▽ lately i've been losing sleep)

[personal profile] tagteams 2014-10-31 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry Estelle, but Peter might have the better idea. Also same face person is still freaking her out a little, but the focus is on the enemy.

More bolts and Thunderbolts still head that way, in hope that it will hit with the Magic Room changing everything.
]

brandnewshoes: (Whoa)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-10-31 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Works for me!

[She looses up a few Fire Bolts with Quinn, for good measure!]
