SCENARIO ONE: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT




The ship has stopped on Arion, near the settlement of Taunican, at the height of harvest season, and since the planet is largely agricultural, that means there is a big harvest festival a-happening.

What's neat about this festival is that it's not just a celebration of the harvest - it's a celebration of the community, and of the planet as a whole. The dominant local religion (for lack of a better term) isn't exactly experienced in term of worship but of honoring the planet itself - the seasons, the landscapes, the crops. Natives talk of Arion as if it is a living, breathing entity, because for them? Arion is.

Every evening while the ship is docked, there is a bonfire in the fields outside the town square, starting at dusk. There's a giant potluck feast, with everyone in attendance encouraged to bring dishes to share, but no one will be turned away if they arrive empty-handed. Fiddles and flutes and drums provide the soundtrack for the folk songs about Arion the locals sing around the fire; dancing and games and laughter are everywhere. This is a peaceful, joyous celebration, and you're invited!

SCENARIO TWO: WE NEED TO GO DEEPER




You're asleep, but maybe you don't know that - in the middle of a dream, it's not always easy to tell the difference between reality and the scenes your subconscious creates. You find yourself somewhere that may or may not be familiar, doing something that may be mundane or fantastical, but you're not alone. This is a dream you're sharing with your shipmates. What secrets and truths will you learn about each other?

SCENARIO THREE: STOP HITTING YOURSELF




Ope, looks like Navi’s wandered a little too close to an interdimensional rift in space-time, and now things are getting a little weird. If you happen to have superpowers, you may find that you don’t have quite as good of a hold on them as you do normally, or maybe now there are unintended side effects that occur when your powers are used. Maybe your character usually possesses enhanced strength or speed, and now they suddenly find themselves too swol to handle ordinary objects without crushing them, or they may have uncontrollable zooms and be physically unable to slow their roll.

No superpowers? No problem! Non-powered characters may find themselves deprived of one or more of their natural senses, i.e., sight, hearing, smell, taste, etc. Have fun being suddenly and temporarily blind! Walk into walls, eat trash, be free.

[You know, it's not every day that she wishes she was back on that haunted-ass mountain full of dead people and rain, but compared to this? It might as well have been paradise.

She wanders, picking her way through the rubble with a vague curiosity, but she doesn't seem too disturbed. This can't be real, not to her, so mostly she just feels...bored.

At least until she discovers someone else. She rests her hands on her hips, tilting her head as she peers at the piles of books and then at the boy reading it.
]

At least someone's having fun out here. [Her tone is dry, deadpan, and she huffs a little, just glad to be out from under the heat of the sun.]

I wouldn't call it fun.
[ Whatever he's reading, it looks way too smart and boring. Five can't help but look around, a little perplexed. ]

How did you..

[ Yeah. Empty for miles. He turns back to her. ]

You're an illusion, right?

[SHe considers this question for a moment, then wanders over to kick him none-too-gently on the leg.]

Does it feel like an illusion? I just woke up here. [For a given value of 'woken up,' she supposes. She's not sure if he's not the illusion, or if the world itself in an illusion or what.

She's spent enough time wandering around in peoples' memories before to figure this might be something similar, she just doesn't know how or why. After all, she hasn't touched this guy to get access to those memories before...

[ His posture quickly stiffens when she actually touches him and in a faint glow and a woosh sound, dropping the book he had in his hand, Five disappears and reappears a safer distance apart, now standing and glaring at her. ]

Don't touch me. What are you trying to prove by that?

[ Other than.. they're not illusions, but okay, Five. He's just prickly. ]

That's it? Really?

[ She most have projected herself into one of his dreams which is.. extremely invasive and rude tbh. However, it doesn't sound intentional, so ... ?? ]

If it was an illusion, you wouldn't be able to feel it, right? [Duh. And despite the fact she's physically older than him by a good 4 years or so...she's about 3 inches shorter. She tries not to think about that.

She shrugs and nods though at the question, brow furrowing as she looks around uneasily.
] Never had that happen before. Not by accident like that.

So this is what you dream about? Reading books in a blow up city? [How boring!]
