Mini Plot OOC Planning | A Normal Dream

[linefacingforever]

In the days since Yu betrayed Equestria, he's been serving out his sentence in the Palace, left to his own guilt and regret at what he had done. More than this, he has also started regressing to the point of pre-canon, closing himself off from the world around him and the "fake" bonds he believes he has. After all, Tirek did show him the truth of what friendships really were...

Right?

The Plot
Yukiko is setting in motions plans to help Yu get on the right path. In order to do this, she plans on teaming up with Homura in order to get into Yu's dreams and shape them into a version of that year in Inaba, only different. This time around there are no murders, no TV world, and no Personae. This time around, it's just a normal year, with a focus on showing Yu that he has real friends, no special powers involved.

This plot is open up to everyone that wants to be involved, even if you do not currently have CR with Yu. This will be your opportunity to get some before he returns to Ponyville next month, and will mean so much more to him, especially if he's never met your character before.

While characters will feel like they experienced the entire year in Inaba, they won't really. Everything that happens in the dream world takes the course of a day in-game time. Since this is a human world, characters will appear as humans in the dream and players are free to choose any role in the story they wish, whether it's as a student, a teacher, one of the townspeople, ect. The focus of each thread will be "the moment they became friends", meaning not only can friendships be made with Yu, but characters can interact and get to know each other better, or even renew friendships that may have been strained by recent events.

The Bulletpoints

• After the Gala, Yukiko puts out a call to other ponies looking for help.
• Once everyone's gathered, Homura sends everyone into Yu's dreams.
• Characters play out the year in Inaba.
  • Characters will appear as humans.
  • Characters are free to choose any role they wish in the story.
  • Focus is on friendship. So much friendship everywhere.
  • Characters will remember who they really are and why they're doing this; Yu will not.
• Everyone goes back to Ponyville in the end for a happy ending.

Feel free to plot, or to ask any questions you may have below as well, or you can send a PM to either Yu's journal or on plurk at SkylaDoragono (you don't have to be on my timeline to send me a private plurk).

The post for this mini plot will be up on May 25th.

Mako Daylilly Linden of the Fortune Arcana reporting for Dream Shenanigans!

[didyoueatmysammich]

You know Yukiko is leading this shindig!


Yes under cat rogue but care not :P

[foolish_seal]

Obviously, Minato's gonna be a part of this. Either Fool or Judgement, depending on what you need.

[needsteaplz]

Saori Nakagawa reporting for Empress Arcana representation!

[neighfeni]

Nephenee is the Strength arcana!

[kingofthetvworld]

Obviously Teddie is going to take part in this nonsense. He is, of course, the Star.

[adandyinspace]

Aaaaand Dandy's coming in because he likes his sister ninja chick too much. His Arcana is going to be Devil.

[4thdimensional]

All right, throwing Doc in! He's a good professor type, with a bit of a knack for reaching out to kids with problems.

I'm Persona-incompetent, so he's...a well-meaning mad scientist type, paranoid and secretive but with a goal to help others always?

[superstylishsquid]

Signing up Margulis of the Tower Arcana and Moses with the Fool Arcana to help kick Yu's butt out of his funk! Possibly literally, neither is known for pacifism.

Re: Sign Up

[bornoflove]

Homura Akemi will be the creator of the dream. She will be representing the Moon Arcana.

[letsplayer]

Marla's totally up for this for the Lovers Arcana!

[notgivinguponyou]

I think I'll sign up Tadashi too. Probably under the Hanged Man Arcana.

Re: Sign Up

[caneattheseapples]

Both Pokey and Jappleack will be heading in, Pokey to help his dumb bear friend and Jappleack to help Yukiko. Pokey would probably best be represented by The Hermit. Jappleack will be represented by The High Priestess.

[terraburning]

Terra Branford will sign up because she desperately wants to know what being normal is like. I'm thinking Aeon Arcana would fit her.

[colorfulbrilliance]

--Wrong Account buuut doing other tags--

Signing Cirno up for maybe Magician?

Traits include naive, Nervous yet over confidant and excitable

[weekwizard]

...You know what, let's throw Patchy at this, too. She needs to study friendship and this is a prime opportunity. Since there are enough teachers already, she'll be a student, and have the Temperance Arcana.

[punched_by_sisko]

You ever seen the TNG episode "Tapestry" where he gets Picard to alter his timeline and show off a world where Picard was just a lowly blue-shirted lieutenant?

Yeah, he's going to enjoy doing this again. Except without altering Yu's timeline.

[soulofblue]

Welp, now that I've got a computer at least, I'm gonna sign Pollo up for this! Since he already...ICly volunteered and all... >>

I think his arcana would probably be Death. Since transformations and new beginnings and all.

Re: Sign Up

[humanesqueheartstrings]

Woona is in but I have no idea what her arcana should be. Not good at this.

[kuukai]

Kyouko Sakura will be there -- we were talking about the Wizard Arcana before, I believe.

Sign Up

[namedforcat]

Hey, if it's not too late, I'd like to sign Gaign up here representing the Emperor Arcana if that's ok.

[tsukurimasho]

Chiyo Mihama/Chiyo-chan will be coming along! She will be of the Sun arcana.

So Mako's 'thing', right now, is that she's realized her tendency to hold grudges is unhealthy and she needs to learn to forgive people. Except Ghetsis

Between her history of familiarity with the Dark-type and her being upset at Yu, I am thinking she'll probably choose to show up in Inaba as some sort of female delinquent. Maybe a tough biker chick or something? she practically dresses like one anyway
