[Casper appears on the network with a grin, waving at the screen. But he’s not alone this time - Raven’s with him. ... Which is why he’s standing back a bit so his face doesn’t take up the whole screen.]

Hey there! Casper and Raven here - uh, for the new people, I’m Casper. She’s Raven. We have something we’ve been working on that we’re ready to share.

A lot of people on this train have trouble sleeping for various reasons. I’ve got a few different methods of helping with the bad sleep. One of which was inspired by one of Casper’s ideas, which is why we’re doing this together.

We thought we’d help out. I know a lot of people here have enough trouble with nightmares that they don’t want to sleep, so we both have things for each room. Raven has her… uh. Why don’t you explain yours?

There’s melatonin capsules in Medical to help regulate your day and night cycle, I have some teas and infusions, along with sachets, and the last relates to Casper’s idea.

On my previous travels I... picked up an ability to make something called dreamcatchers. Which I know are a thing some of you might have heard of, but it’s different. Sort of. It absorbs the nightmares of those around it and emits a kind of passive magic regeneration. You can also pull magic from it directly, too - I can show you how if that applies to you. And please do, since they do have a limit. Oh, and I made them look like little plush stars... because it's cute...

Based on his version of a Dreamcatcher, I’ve done something similar but using amethyst crystal globes as the base. They’ll do the same thing, except for being able to pull magic from it. Sanzo has kindly offered to help me cleanse them every platform day, so the nightmares won’t build up too much. I have 10 currently made, and they’ll hang in string-basket-bags from the doorway of your cabin. The idea is 1 globe per cabin, and if you need something more personal, I can work with that or Casper can.

And mine should work just fine on their own? If they don’t, please let me know. I haven’t tried to make so many go at once... there might be some fine-tuning that has to happen.

Oh, and uh. If you’re worried about some other kind of mind-altering effects, it doesn’t do that. I can explain a little more later if you want to find me. Oh, speaking of finding -

[He looks over at Raven.]

We’ll be set up on one of the booth seats in the Standard car for a bit if you want to stop by and grab one. If you also want to help with buying supplies, or know more about other stuff to help, feel free to ask.

So yeah, one person from each cabin can come by and grab stuff. We’ll see you there!

[He waves and cuts the broadcast off.]

[[ooc; If you want to respond to the network post that works, or you can go straight to action. You don’t have to keep track if someone from your cabin already came over, feel free to tag in. Please specify if you have a preference for one or the other or both.]]

[Honestly, Zelgadis isn't sure he needs them for dreams, at least at the moment, but he is interested in the magical energy aspect and wants to know how it works if people will be hanging these things up.]

So, you've somehow managed to turn nightmares into magical energy.

...thank you, Casper. It worked.

I can grab things for the rest of the room now.

[Lea can deal with his own bad dreams. But knowing that Xion has them every night- or at least had; she never mentioned any change to him though-, this was going to be wonderful for her.]

Hey, there. Just so I don't double up, has anyone else from Lower 3, Cabin B come by yet?

I'll vouch for you. I don't have personal experience with Raven's help on this issue, but I trust her too...

[ He sighs. ]

It really works, if anyone else is listening.

Thanks; I've got a roommate who I know'll really appreciate this.

It works the same way as the orb ones right? Just hang it up somewhere, and it'll work for everyone in the room?

And how exactly do you go about pulling magic out of it on purpose? Aside from my fire, I'm not a big magic user, but one of my best friends is. And unfortunately the likelihood of her asking herself is pretty slim.

Oh cool. So instead of real world dreamcatchers, they're basically like the ones from Questing Country then.

[We'd say we're sorry for the upcoming confusion, Casper, but.]

Video to action then?

[Bacon blinks. Does Casper think they have the bluerays on them? It's not like they have enough train points to afford it yet.]

Sure, I guess. Where do you want to meet?

And— can I have one? I've always wanted one of my own.

You made them look like little plush stars?

How does it know the difference between a nightmare and a normal dream?

Re: Yep!'

[personal profile] labcatte 2021-05-06 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Be there in a few.

[And less than five minutes later, there's Bacon coming through the door.]

So, uh, I don't have the Bluerays or anything. I mean, I do, but they're back on Earth.
labcatte: (alert)

[personal profile] labcatte 2021-05-06 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[They smooth back their head fur, a little frown on their face.] Yeah. Yeah, that's Questing Country. I used to watch it with my dads when I was a kid. Dad's favorite arc was the Valence Quest one and Papa always liked the Rise of the Adversaries. I couldn't really choose--I liked all of it.

[They take a deep breath, let it out.] Right. Okay. It's not like I haven't seen this scenario in science fiction before. If a multiverse exists, it stands to reason that works of fiction are probably also real. Didn't one of those Golden Age of Sci Fi guys posit it? God, what was his name? I'm blanking on it, but I know it's one of the ones where Abuelito has like a stack of his books.

[ Nightmares aside, Jaisyn is very much interested that she has to drop by. ]

Hi. Has anyone from Lower 4E come around yet?

That is... very generous of you both. I hope it helps many here.

[ ... but he is not asking for one, as there is nothing magical in his own nightmares. They are only memories. ]
