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.

I think Cirno's going to be slightly difficult. It's mostly going to depend on if someone joins or not.

If they don't join, She could be a classmate who is having trouble with school and it's known or a random townie who is working on her running.

Either way o7

Trouble in school... like in need of tutoring? They could become friends that way.

[frozenmemories]

Yeah! That's what I was thinking of actually, Just when I wrote this I was half asleep ^^;

One of the things I've been debating was if Rise were involved should she and Cirno have their roles connected in any way... I didn't want to make either of them dependent on the other!

BUT now that the thing at the Gala is happening, I'm more tempted to throw her in! So just checking to see if you have any ideas relating to that, while I make up my mind. :3 We could always discuss it on Plurk too...

[frozenmemories]

Yeeees~ Hmm..I mean Cirno could still maybe be in school or and after it go to Rise and stuff..I dunno XD

Probably would be easier to talk about it on plurk if need be

[therealrisette]

In that case, private plurk sent!
