((Still under construction))
~In this Dream, Time no longer exists.~
A massive, multicoloured dreambubble.
Slowly floats among the void absorbing smaller bubbles and other non-horrorterror entities into itself.
Somewhat recently, it has absorbed a meteor chained to a planet, containing a few living residents.
Inside the bubble houses several layers, each having different biomes.
The most known area is the outer layer, which contains a vast sea with very few landmasses. The deeper layers have yet to be explored.
Care must be taken when exploring the dream, as there are rumors of it's numerous dangers. One of them much closer than you would think.
Will you be able to bring the bubble's secrets to the surface?
Or will you be trapped in this endless dream without any chance of exiting?
[Rules]
• Both V2 and Lost Pawns characters are able to participate. As long as they are able to dream and pop up in dreambubbles.
• Both sides are equally in danger, just sayin.
• Feel free to ask me if you want to include something in the bubble!
• (more will be added later.)
[What has happened so far...]
• Lost Pawns meteor has been absorbed.
• A small area of the first layer has been visited.
• A familiar face returns from their long absence......

A ripple. As if reality has been ripped apart at the seams. A girl suddenly appears. She looks toward the sky, at the meteor the bubble has swallowed a long while ago. She sneers. 'So...This is where they're hiding. Haha.'Her aura shifts into something dark. The girl's true form appears like a ghost behind her.  'LET'S CAUSE SOME HAVOC, SHALL WE!?'Vine-like lightning crackles from her hands as it shoots out towards the meteor. Aside from a few chunks blasted off from it, it seems mostly intact... As if the meteor itself wasn't her target. The chain linking the meteor to the ice planet outside breaks, and the meteor starts to fall, it's course towards the ocean below. ...However, the vines that were once holding the meteor now start to grow at an alarming rate, caging the meteor in a sort of viney ball, slowing it's fall. They continue to grow, despite the Purple Miles slowing their ascent, as it latches on to the remains of the chain to make a makeshift connection to the icy planet. The girl's sneer fades into a scowl. '...Tch. She's still being a pain in the ass even if she's missing.'The aura fades and the apparition disappears, leaving with just the girl, as she floats down to the water and takes a swim.
Not really much of a scapegoat, but it will do. |

....
Moments later, though how truly long it was was unknown. The girl returns, lacking a limb, the stump bleeding profusely. She looks back at the area where the meteor is. That battle did not go as she planned.
'That sunspot...I knew I should have gotten rid of her when I had the chance.'
She looks down, contemplating.
'But...What he said...Ananke...How did she...' but she shakes her head, interrupting her thoughts.
'No, I can't think about that now. I'll have to make sure the girl never reaches them...Not ever...Not after this.' Her left hand balls into a tight fist. Purple magic swirls around her wound as it slowly stops bleeding.
They've earned her unending wrath... And now she's going to make sure they suffer. |

[An Unknown Date, In an Unknown Location.]
The sound of a large, clockwork mechanism can be heard echoing.
Ciel, the first to enter through the portable door, steps in. She observes the surroundings, then nods solemnly. It's been so long, and yet aside from the feeling that something...or rather, someone, was missing, it's still the way she remembers it being.
'Ananke's Stronghold...It's been a while since we've been here...' she murmurs to herself.
Another look around. Just the entrance enough was immense. Despite the fact that it had apparently come from Lady Ananke's memory of some 'Checkerboard Battlefield' and a 'Land of Clockwork and Festivals', there was still a sort of personal charm to it. Golden clockwork with intricate patterns occasionally show up in the walls, it's mechanisms still functioning...Though Ciel was not sure what they were powering...but they were pretty nonetheless. The organized and elegant mix of the fortress with nature was also breathtaking. Red poppies and white and purple roses all over the place, along with other flowers that accent their beauty.
She looks back with a worried expression on her face. Were they really to be trusted...? She's heard so many stories about how much he was dangerous at first...And perhaps was still dangerous even now.
She thought back to the Clockwork Doll...And...something else. Her worried look intensifies.
'...I hope you're right, Balmung.' She gains back her composure and confidently looks at the entrance, the expected guests will arrive.
The counterattack will be planned. Peace will return.
...At least, that's what she wishes could happen. |

At this point, the vast majority of the seths have shuffled their way through the doorway and have found somewhere to stand around at while awaiting further orders. Most of them seem to be in awe over their new surroundings.
Thoren approaches the katside envoy to resume the conversation. A strong sense of urgency seems to be coming from Alpha Seth. He really hopes something terrible didn't happen to Kat.
"So, we were discussing?"

'Yes yes, it is time we discuss our plan of counterattack.'
She takes out a stack of index cards and glances at it.
'From the current events...It seems like Maiden Zwei has gotten a hold of a body...And the soul of that body is somewhere in this place. This unfortunately tips the odds in her favor. She's probably using that body as a means to protect her own form from harm...among other things, so perhaps one of our objectives is to find that soul and a way to put her back in that body. That reminds me...' her thoughts drift off...she met someone out of place before, but had to leave them to their own devices...She hopes that they were not that soul...and that if they were, they would be safe...
'Oh, pardon me, I was thinking. Moving on...I was going to warn you about something, but since you are all...er...already spirits, it's not something you should be concerned with. I will discuss this to those who need it when they arrive. Let's see...Ah yes...about Maiden Zwei, herself...Her abilities are immense...and are considered an almost god-like status. She can bend the bubble to her will and can observe it's residents at any point, which is why we are in this predicament. Her powers do dwindle the farther she is from the Abyss, her home, as well as the place where all lost souls gather...most of the time. We have made a plan to lure her away from the bubble where she's completely vulnerable, but of course she knows quite well of that weakness and refuses to leave. Our attempts have unfortunately been the cost of a few bubbles which have been assimilated into this place...' She sighs in an almost defeated way.
'We have not been able to find another way to defeat her, as we are terribly underpowered...Even more so as she had spread a plague of sleep upon most of the other residents, as to not have them interfere with...whatever plan she's trying to cook up. Our hope of sealing her consciousness back into the Abyss, Lady Ananke, has gone missing, which has devestated Lord Eins, the other master of this bubble...She has also gone missing as well, leaving only a fragment of her behind. This disappearance caused the Maiden to awaken in the first place.'
Her face contorts to a grudging, if not pleading look. 'Which is why we have asked for foreign aid...Perhaps with outside help, we may be able to find a way to seal, if not defeat Maiden Zwei.'

"...Raine, the Lord of rage. "
A series of memories reveal themselves to Thoren. While he had vaguely known about her before, Alpha Seth's much stronger emotional attachment to her makes it easier to know more things about her than before from him.
"Alpha saw her arm get chopped off recently. She's a resident of the meteor, and she's just as rude as the rest of them trapped on that pebble. Back before our first link, alpha had to save that b- ...girl from her own mace and some fucking scary null monster before she disappeared for a real long time. I guess we know what happened to her now."
Upon the mention of Ananke, Seth's current strong feelings begin bleeding over to Thoren. The heart container necklace around Thoren's neck shines brilliantly as tears appear to fall from his blank eyes. He doubles over and falls to the ground, seemingly in pain.
"AAAAAAGH! My chest cavity can't handle this, Seth! You might as well light a match in there for fuck's sake..."
A couple of the other seths just kinda stare at him as Thoren reacts oddly to an affectionate embrace an entire realm away.
One of them in the crowd pulls out a lighter and holds it up like he's at a rock concert. He puts it back down after realizing how awkward this moment really is.

'The arm of her physical body has been chopped off...That doesn't sound good. If Maiden Zwei managed to put her stolen vessel in harms way, then that girl has a risk of not having a body to return to...'
Her worry intensifies. As much as this place used to be a safe haven...Having your ability to live stolen away from you without you knowing would be the worst way to go...
'Wait. You mentioned that the girl tried to take her own life...Do you know why would that be the case?' This has become even more of a predicament...
The girl steps back from Thoren's outburst. What in the world is going on here?
'Er...Is there something I'm missing here...?'

A seth holding a scythe with chains speaks up.
"Thoren... He's linked with, Alpha Seth's heart and soul." he sighs.
"It's a special kind of connection that allows them to share thoughts and feelings with each other from any distance, as well as some other things..."
Shrodinger, the seth in the blue longsleeve shirt answers this time.
"I don't know why. She was jealous as fuck that day when I...he, um, not me anymore-fuck this is confusing... when I was trying to spend some time with Marin from Koholint island, because I thought the island was gonna disappear at the end of the adventure and take her down with it. I wanted to make sure her last days would be her best...
But, Raine was just so furious... I can't even understand how or why she flipped to trying to impale herself just minutes after that run-in with the null monster... Later on she somehow accidentally got possessed by a different Kat most of us knew a lot more... She seemed alright, but the Raine that belonged there was still missing."
Thoren eventually comes to his senses and slowly gets back up off the floor.
"finally, he let go of the fucking hug. I should probably mention he's most likely with your missing lady. Apparently she somehow got an extra life and appeared in the new universe when time fucked itself over a year ago."
The seth with the chained scythe mumbles "and i tried to take it away to get her over here again... stupid fucking alpha timeline rejecting my solution..."
"hey, you're the one that slit his own throat after stabbing her, you know how dying tends to invalidate any set of actions any of us have tried to do shortly beforehand."
"WELL, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOMEONE YOU LOVED DIED, AND YOU WERE THE KILLER?!" chain seth flares up in rage at some unknown seth in the background. Thoren just sighs and tries to focus back on the others that aren't seths in the room.

Niki finally makes it into the doorway, with all her gear ready. She looks around the room and immediately gets the shivers from all the ghosts in the room. Gamebirb reflexively appears behind her with its wings in a protective position. It makes a gba startup noise upon being summoned.
"..........um, is this, the right place for the.... meeting?"
She is incredibly nervous right now and would likely run away screaming if gamebirb wasn't there to back her up.

'Huh....Interesting.' it was an odd ability, and one she never thought a time player would have. Must be unique to him. She jots it down in an index card.
And then she heard the explanation to Raine's disappearance. 'Jealousy...and regret...A running theme, I see...But I think I may have the answer.'
She pulls out a photo. It seems to be an ornate mace, it's spikes are fancy clock arms...Though it's length and design is different, it may be familiar.
'This was the fragment of Lord Eins that was left behind in her disappearance. Or rather, her weapon in which she infused part of her power with. She mentioned a long time ago that she remembered it influencing her...Something akin to dark murmurs from the depths of her mind. Perhaps she was being a little creative with the description, but she definitely mentioned that it made her want to resort to more violent behaviour. A dark weapon from a darker benefactor, she said.'
She was about to say more, but something caught her ears. The mention of Lady Ananke returning to the waking world.
'S-she's become living? A-and you've tried to bring her back through murder!?' she stepped forward in an aggressive motion before sighing and stepping back again.
'I...It was...A poor choice, but I can comprehend why you would make such a decision...But bringing her back in that way wouldn't help us. As I have said before, all souls first appear in the Abyss, or rather a specific part of it. They appear there in a protective barrier, in a sort of sleeping state. Our council used to be the ones that had the task of awakening them to their new 'life', but now with the Maiden taking residence there...It's impossible to get to the Spring of Origin. To go there would be suicide, as the Abyss is where Lord Eins' and Maiden Zwei's powers are at it's peak.'
'But Lady Ananke being alive...yet unable to come back even through sleep...This is beyond worrying.' She clutches her head. There has to be something...She'll keep talking, as to find some sort of breakthrough.

Micha walks up and past Niki. She rolls her shoulders and cracks her knuckles. The large persona of Eclipse appears behind her, silently and from the darkness. Micha draws her solar gun and charges it up, the battery giving an audible whir.

The girl in black notices the two different girls walk in.
'You two, are you also here for the briefing?'

Niki notices Micha show up and calms down a little. She's still pretty nervous though.
"um, yeah. We're here for the thing."

'Ah yes, good. Let me summarize what I think you haven't learned yet: Zwei is more dangerous the deeper we go into the bubble, we've tried to lure her away, but failed miserably. There are signs that the soul of the body's original owner is within the bubble. Lady Ananke is confirmed to have returned to life, but is unable to reach us. Lord Eins is still missing, and the only piece of her we could find is a mace of dubious origin that she placed a fraction of her power inside.'
She coughs.
'Any questions or input on how we can go about this despite our disadvantage is appreciated. And since you two are among the living, I must warn you that it will be difficult returning if we step further within the dream. Especially when you are in a state of sleep projection. It may be hard to wake up, if not almost impossible to return to your body if at a great distance within.'
She then notices something odd about the two.
'...May I ask what those beings behind you are?'
