A weird surreal colective dream - Freeform IC

[The Eye]

For years, all of you have dreamed with a wonderful marble and golden city.

This beautiful city was too perfect to concise, and every time you would wake up before being able to explore it.

It has been three years since you haven’t dreamed with it anymore. Now the towers and marble terraces are but a faint memory but you can’t stop thinking about it, every time you dream you and your friends search for this city, never being about to find it.

For the last three months your collective dreams have been dull and illogical with no clues about the city, you all hope this will end tonight, you all hope tonight will be the night where the city will be found.

The dreamer’s crypt.

You all wake up in the dream world. Your dream selves, with the exception of Xavier, are inside stone sarcophagus and you are all gasping and panting. It seems there is no air inside the place you were buried.

Xavier wakes up in a circular room in what looks like a dark tomb or crypt; you are surrounded by large and heavy stone sarcophagus.

In front of you there is a red metal door.

What do you guys do?

[Iceseer]

Xavier examines the sarcophagi to see if anyone is in any of them. Then he grows plants on top of them to weaken the stone. He does this till the stones crack to a sufficient point that he thinks he can break it with his mace.

Silva, perceiving the aforementioned seeming of a lack of oxygen, tries to escape the sarcophagus. The most obvious first move is to attempt to simply force the lid open - direct vertically, which, it being a stone sarcophagus lid, might be a difficult path, horizontally, which could work provided the lid doesn't have a groove to prevent such a thing, or a combination of either.

Despite the fact that given more time to think about it, he might put it into words like that, what actually happens is that he desperately tries to throw the lid off, up and to the left.

[The Eye]

There are eleven sarcophagus around you, the one you start to investigate seems to be empty a beautiful Purple tulip gowns on top of it, bringing a little more of color to the otherwise dark and grey room.

The flower looks sad since there won't be any light or rain for her in here, so her color starts to glow to component the lack of light.

As they say the brightest candles are the ones the burn quicker. You feel melancholic.

As you do that, you noticed that despite being really heavy you have no problem sliding the lid open. Bright purple light from Xavier's flower fills your sarcophagus reveling the number "17" engraved on it.

Add 17 to your Number of Inner Beast.

[Iceseer]

Xavier proceeds to investigate the rest. If he sees that anyone is in them he summons his plants to weaken the lid to make it possible for him to break the lid. He stops if his friend talks to him.

[The Eye]

It seems the plants that you are able to grow are unable to affect the durability or resistance of solid rock.

The next sarcophagus also appears to be empty, but as you open the lid you find a human skeleton, it's dressed like a king.

You friend Silva raises form he last sarcophagus. You see eachother.

A beautiful red Lycoris radiata grows on the king's skeleton. It also begins to glow.

[Iceseer]

Xavier grows plants on the floor to make the scenery more cheerful.

[The Eye]

As Xavier touches the ground, moss takes over the ancient walls and columns of the crypt, many different kinds flowers starts to grown all around the place, roses, tulips and daises, of all colors and sizes.

The sweet scents of the flowers and the strong smell of the moss fills the air.

[JNAProductions]

This is thoroughly unpleasant... Red mutters to themselves, before realizing it's probably best to conserve oxygen.

They reach up and attempt to shove their way free.

[Gaius]

Nick gasps at the tight space into which he's woken -- leaving him much more aware of how little air is in there with him. Pulse quickened, his hand goes to his paintbrush, but he just can't think of what would get him out under this kind of stress. So the boy instead puts that dwindling oxygen to what he hopes is good use.

"Open up!" Nick asks the sarcophagus. "Please," he adds. "I'd... like to appreciate you from the outside."

[The Bandicoot]

Smiley awakens with a panic and looks around the confined space he's in. Being that he's mildly claustrophobic he immediately closes his eyes and attempts to shatter the stone lid with his sonic bleating.

[The Eye]

Red is able to open the stone coffin without problems, they are able to see Silva and Xavier, they found themselves in a weird crypt like place full of plants and flowers.

Smiley sonic bleating is partially reflected by the stone all the variations make the poor goat temporally deaf. The stone lid explodes and fragments almost crush his head, perhaps in the future he won't use his sonic powers inside a closed place.

As both Red and Smiley leave their coffins they hear Nick's plead for help.

[Iceseer]

Xavier tries to grow plants between the lid and the container. So air can get inside. Xavier thought it would also make it easier to actually lift the lid.

[Thisguy_]

In response to Red's assessment of the situation, Silva gives this statement: "But I would beg to disagree, with having been the first one freed, and having time to look around, I'd say this place would be a sound decision for the spot to hold a bit of reverie;" then, breaking meter, continues, "Though it is a bit grim, there is no place like it for a danse macabre."

Then, upon hearing Nick's pleas, Silva apparates near his sarcophagus and attempts to leverage the assistance granted by Xavier's plants to remove the lid, or at least to slide it ajar.

[The Bandicoot]

Smiley leaps and looks around, searching for the source of the cries for help. Seeing the other two attempting to lever a coffin open he adds his telekinetic powers to the mix, all the while smiling.

[The Eye]

The two dreamers are able to open Nick's coffin.

It seems that you are all out of danger now.

You are all in a weird crypt now overrun with plants, in front of you is a red door; the dark hallways seem to lead to some sort of deep abyss.

What do you do?

[Gaius]

Nick feels a rush of air greeting him and drinks deep of it. Pulling himself up, he gasps out a, "Thank you," to his saviors and tries to calm himself down. He decides quickly that he'll have an easier time of that when he's no longer in the coffin, and promptly climbs out.

Dusting himself off, Nick looks around the room. It's more... florid than he'd have thought. His ears dip slightly in puzzlement. "Hm. So, was someone making funerary offerings or..." Xavier catches his eye. "Ah," he decides with a nod and small smile, ears perked up again, "redecorating."

The boy decides to help with that, climbing atop one sarcophagus with his brush in hand. After a moment's thought, Nick sets to painting a stylized sun, suspended in the air near the ceiling, and rendered as solid as any of the plant life.

[SpeedWitch]

Peck slumbers to the sight of a dimly lit coffin interior. He tries to strain against the stone for a bit, but gives up rather quickly and accepts his new situation, pulling out his trusty instrument to express his feelings on the situation. The power of the keytar would immediately spread out to his surroundings, possibly lifting him and the coffin cover into the air to a tune vaugely reminiscent of Circle of Life, despite the original instruments of the song being replaced by the sounds of rushing water, laughing hyenas, and farts.

[roll0] seconds pass before the gravitational effect is maxed, centered around Peck.

[The Eye]

As you all group up you decided that this dream seem to has a lot of potential, maybe you will finally find a way back to the perfect city.

Maybe there are clues in this room? or maybe you should use the door to advance to the next one.

[Iceseer]

Xavier waits for the others to see what type of direction they want to go in. He would prefer to look in this room but was too meek to actually bring it up.

[Gaius]

Nick is glad to see Peck rising from his casket -- even if the lad's less sure what to make of the audio accompaniment. He decides to celebrate by giving his little sun a brushstroke of life, so it can begin revolving around something non-existant in the middle of the ceiling, in cavalier defiance of the heliocentric model.

That done, Nick hops down and thinks it best to see what neat things he can find in here. Still, while having the rest of his friends close at hand leaves him confident, being in a place like this has him cautious, ears perked and alert. The undead could come bursting out at any moment, after all.

So, playing it safe, he tries to take a look in and around any sarcophagi that are already open. Which, eyes drawn by the red spider lily Xavier first put down, brings the young artist to the corpse of a king. Well, there certainly seem like worse ways to get information. "Hey there, your highness," he starts off, trying to sound respectful. "What's your story? And, for that matter, how about the rest of this place?"
