DREAM WORLD

NINTENDOGS

By the time you return, the outskirts of the castles have all turned into a mess of binary strings, stray lines of codes and placeholder textures. physically, they retain the old properties, but visually, it's a mess.
[break][break]
"Good job minimizing the work I was supposed to do. I really mean it. It just feels so bad cleaning out things when they're not considered trash."
[break][break]
The Snubbull seemed to be pepped up more than before. In fact, he has done a costume change that completely ruins the immersion for the character. With the world in ruins, you supposed it shouldn't matter.
[break][break]
"I'll let you guys in on my little trick. Santa has full access to his terminal for today. You're all getting gifts from me."
[break][break]
a notification appears on everyone's hud, informing them of a new item being added to their inventory. it was the same protocol as the previous rounds, but this time, it wasn't just a tool for survival.
[break][break]

[attr="class","rbynote"]
JOURNAL (1 ea.)[break]

this was supposed to be the theme for last round, but mister administrator had a pettiness-induced tantrum.

INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

For this event, participants are required to make a post on their previous DREAM WORLD thread from the PREVIOUS EVENT. Although the event is casual, guidelines must be followed to be allowed to the next round.
[break][break]
These guidelines are often narrative prompts that writers must hit in their post. Although there will be NO WORD COUNT, please avoid entries that can be considered as lazy.
[break][break]
Objectives for each character are as follows:
[break][break]

• Open your gift
• Enter Scenario 4

SCENARIO 4

Opening the gift immediately logs you out of the shared space of the castle and into a personal memory of yours. Whether it is of joy or not is up to the player.
[break][break]
The memory your character will be visiting will be based on a Pokemon in their history that ISN'T IN YOUR CHARACTER'S PC. This can be a childhood pet, a fallen Pokemon from a raid, or ANY POKEMON THAT MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT on your character.
[break][break]
What it cannot be is Pokemon that cannot be claimed through CUSTOM POKEMON TICKETS or those that are canonically owned by other PLAYER CHARACTERS.
[break][break]
Explore an intimate moment with them, whether it's a recreation of an exact scenario where they met your character, a reunion after long periods of being away or just a mundane interaction.
[break][break]
After the end of the dream, players will find a new Pokemon in their PCs. If someone was to investigate, they will figure out that it's an EXACT COPY of their previous Pokemon.
[break][break]
Those that pry further will figure out that their Pokemon carries a digital signature that tells them that they MET AT THE CLOUD.

DREAM POKEMON

After participating in this round, feel free to redeem a CUSTOM POKEMON in the SITE SHOP.
[break][break]
Same rules for these Pokemon apply, so please limit the species of the Pokemon that your character will be interacting with to be the same as the ones allowed by the ticket.

MULTIPLAYER

Playing with friends isn't allowed for this round, sorry.
