I-A: Mishy Panic

Welcome to the Thors Military Academy Student Festival! Every October, the clubs and classes of Thors put on a two day festival open to the public. The first years of each class are required to do something for the event whether it be a special room or a presentation. To encourage students to work hard, the school holds a vote at the end of every festival to determine which class did the best - so you better believe the students went all out!

Tonight you'll find yourself walking into Class V's room. It's in a training hall for the fencing club of an older stone building, but all the fencing equipment has been pushed to the side in favor of a whack-a-mole game made large enough for a person to run on. A student in a green uniform is there to great you. "Welcome to Mishy Panic. Your goal here is smack as many targets as humanly possible. Should you beat the high score, you'll find a fantastic price!". Elliot is with you, currently in a red school uniform and looking a couple years younger than usual.

Should you decide to play, you'll be given a comically big red mallet and directed to go up on the platform. When the game starts, animatronic cats (based off the popular mascot character Mishy) will pop up out of the hole. Your goal is to hit the sinister looking purple ones, while leaving the gray and pink ones alone. Can you handle whacking these cats for justice? Do you need catharsis against animatronics? Or will you panic, just like Mishy? Find out!

II-A: Magic Knight Ortheim

Far away from the fun school festival, you find yourself in the beautiful highlands of Nord. While there's no snow, the mountain air has the winter chill so you better hope you brought a coat. However there's no time to enjoy the scenery, as in front of you, there is a giant knight kneeling. You were sent out here to investigate a strange monster in the highlands, but this wasn't quite what anyone was expecting. Elliot is with you, still looking a little younger and wearing a yellow coat, looking at you to decide what to do.

If you decide to approach it? The knight will take notice of you and stands up. It's a good 8 meters tall, and it's got 4 arms- all armed with swords. There's no sign of a pilot, it seems to be completely autonomous. That doesn't make it any less dangerous though. Don't hold back with fighting, because you're going to need to give this fight all you got.

III-A: Nord Highlands

Rather explore the beautiful scenery than fight a magic knight? Then you'll find yourself in another part of the Nord Higlands, just outside a military base. You've been given a horse and told to use to get around the highlands. If there's more people in the group, they may be given horses too. Elliot's with you, still looking younger and in a yellow coat, but he has no idea how to ride a horse- so he might have to ride along with you or one of your companions.

Once you're all saddled up, it's time to explore the highlands! There's plenty to see, from the beautiful scenery, the mysterious stone circle, the destroyed tanks in the field (what it's wartime), and loads of wildlife. Just be careful not to run your horse too close to any monsters, as plenty of those roam the highlands too.

I-B: Astoria, Queens, NYC

Welcome to Astoria in Queens! While it's not as famous as many neighborhoods in New York, Astoria's a great part of NYC if you still want city life, but the crowds of Manhattan are a bit too overwhelming. When this dream starts, you find yourself stepping out of a subway onto an outdoor platform of the Blue Line. There's many people moving about their day, but you're just trying to get your bearings. But don't worry, you're not alone in this strange place, as Elliot who'd been waiting on a bench, jumps up immediately when he sees you. He approaches with a big smile on his face.

"You made it! It's so good to see you!"

This is a memory of a time Eren came to visit Elliot in New York, so regardless of how well he knows you in the waking world, his demeanor right now is very friendly.

II-B: Bosuma

Some of you may recognize the forest of Bosuma, but anyone who wasn't on the February journey to Bosuma has never seen it in this state. The lush forest is drained of its color, looking sickly and dark. Plants on the forest floor are withering, and animals sick with corruption are more aggressive.

Along with Elliot, you've been tasked to help purify some source of this corruption. You have to follow corrupted leylines on the ground. But be careful of any monsters or corrupted wildlife- even the trees are dangerous in this forest.

I-C: High Fantasy

You find yourself in a high fantasy land, full of knights, dragons, magic and all that good stuff. Maybe you're the chosen hero, or the adventurer looking to make a name for themselves, or someone who wishes to clear their name, or something else entirely. Either way, you'll be accompanied by your good friend and wizard Elliot. He looks mostly the same, except he's wearing a wizard costume with an oversized wizard hat.

II-C: Definitely-Not-Hogwarts

You're a wizard! And you've been sent to the finest wizardy school in the area, or probably the only wizardry school in the area. There you'll have to practice your spells and charms, and learn what it means to be a good wizard. Along with you is a fellow classmate of Elliot Weesley, who is trying his best.

It's not Hogwarts though. Really.

Need More?

If you have another idea for a possible dreamscape (or even something they do in the waking world), I'd love to hear it! I can be reached at neutronstar for any plotting. But if you need some ideas:

• Any of Elliot's regains are accessible for possible canon-related dreams!
• I'm open to Recolle Events too, some notable events are:
  • Elliot's apartment catching fire and killing his parents
  • Youth military camps. The ones with new AU will be much harsher.
  • Fog Monsters from October Plot
  • If you remember an event you'd like to revisit, I'm all for it!
• New AUs
  • Not-Pokemon
  • Future Dystopia
  • Coffee House (or similar drink)
  • Angel/Demon
  • Honestly most AU ideas. The only ones I'm likely to decline is any NSFW ones or idol AUs because that's already really close to Recolle life.

Note: Some wildcard prompts I may limit on how many people can do them! We'll see how it goes.

Note: People are free to choose more than one prompt! I just ask they make a new comment for each prompt, for easier tracking. I am also open to group threads, if you want more people in a dream thread.

iiA —(eren voice) 俺はロボットが欲しい 💥

[usurpers]

[ he’s never seen anything like it. perhaps as little models, in dreams that have been visiting him back and forth for days lately. he likes cars. he had an entire collection of them, rare and ordinary alike, some never touched and still in plastic cases only for display. he’s liked cars his whole life— but then why, during these few days, had it started to feel off? why was looking at an absurd collection of hot wheels suddenly feeling incomplete when it’s up to date?

his heart is racing as he looks up, follows its curves and height with his eyes until his neck cranes back, and he simply . . . stands there. awed. amazed. excited? like he’s had amnesia and sees the (second) love of his life in the flesh. or metal. ]

Can I . . . ?

[ touch it? ride it? keep it forever? he doesn’t finish because he feels like he wants to do all these things, and the first step he takes to it, hand out peacefully— it moves.

oh my god he’s going to die

not die via mecha but rather die as in, he can’t believe this, he loves this, he wants to embed himself in the cockpit, let him die because this is the heaven he prefers i mean, even elliot’s here, what more could he want. ]

[fiddlestick]

[ Elliot meanwhile is less enthralled with the robot. Maybe it's because his enjoyment of mechs was a much more normal level. Or maybe it's because he is too busy noticing the giant swords this thing is wielding, and that it has four of them.

And what more, it seems to be getting up, standing up as it detects people nearby. ]

Eren! I-I don't think it's friendly!

[It then lets out a deafening roar. Yeah. That's not a friendly roar]

[usurpers]

[ but no seriously that’s exactly what he did for like five whole seconds.

the mecha rises, and towers over them, and holds out its weaponry for them to see, to marvel if they had the time to do that. it’s time to step back, and start stepping back quickly once eren’s senses are all in the right place. this robot was not friendly, this robot was ready to swing at any moment. eren searches wildly for its pilot to no avail, the cockpit empty and them both here, vulnerable at its feet.

now wasn’t the time to wonder why or how he’s so awed and never noticed this attraction at first. now was the time to protect elliot, backing into him and biting forcefully into his palm to match the mecha’s size, perhaps even double it— he’ll end this quickly!





you thought.

because all biting does is tear open his hand and leave his mouth completely bloodied. no titan. ]

—Oh, fuck–!

[ it might be because this isn’t his dream. the real reason? he doesn’t actually want to destroy the mecha. they better have a plan b and a few seconds in between. ]

[fiddlestick]

[ attraction to the giant mech.

Elliot's seen Eren go full titan mode enough time to know what the thumb means. He gets ready to hide behind Eren as he transforms. Eren would be near this robot's height once he transformed, surely he handle-


- Except it then doesn't work. His eyes go wide. ]

I-It's not working?!

[Crap crap crap.

This is especially bad as the knight sure is swinging down all four swords in their direction. It's not interested in giving them time to think up a new plan. ]

ii-a

[maskreant]

[ Ren doesn't recognize anything. Even if he was born in the countryside in Japan, this is very much different from the fields there. It seems like it goes one for miles here—beautiful.

Except for the knight that waits in front of him. He doesn't have enough time to notice the changes in Elliot when his eyes are glued to their armored opponent. Mouth gaping and eyes open wide, Ren's surprise is palpable. ]

But I just got here.

[fiddlestick]

[It's fair to say it's very different from the countryside of Japan. Maybe if moving around ever brought him to Mongolia it'd feel somewhat familiar to their vast highlands, but it's clearly a very different place than Japan or Recolle.

But there really is no time to ponder that, as that knight is standing to full height and raising his blades- all four of them.

Ellot meanwhile also has his own wide eye look, as he pulls out his staff from his bag and extends it out to his full length. Though honestly, he feels a little absurd doing it. What is his staff going to do against a giant armored knight??]

I-I don't think it cares if we just got here!

[the knight moves its head back and stretches out its arms, letting out a monstrous roar- a war cry. Yep, it sure isn't interested in talking]

[maskreant]

[ Backing up, Ren tries to summon his dagger as fast as he can—actually, it can be his gun. Anything. Anything at all. He just went to sleep and now he has to fight this... It's like a makeshift Shiva knight? A dagger finally appears in his hand as he settles into the dream.

Breathe in, breathe out. ]

All right, I'll try to keep him busy so he doesn't focus on you.

[ Quick to make plans, he bolts forward. ]

[fiddlestick]

Uh-

[He's not so sure he likes the idea of Ren using himself as bait, but there's not a whole lot of time to argue this plan.]

O-Okay!

[As Ren bolts forward, Elliot quickly tries to think of what spell to cast. He channels a spell and there's a flash of blue light. Beneath their feet, a clock appears. Its hands spin quickly, and Ren will feel his speed pick up some.

Which might come in handy as that knight sure is swinging down all four swords at him, at once.]

I-A

[angealwings]

Hmm. Let me know if I'm hitting too hard?

[ Because, even in dreams, that's definitely a risk with him.

What Andrew doesn't have trouble is? Is hitting the right ones. And he's definitely enjoying the challenge. Hope you have plans for that prize, Elliot. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot laughs. Even if he seems younger, he doesn't seem to question who Andrew is or why he's here. It's a dream, they don't have to make sense]

Haha, okay! I'll be sure to watch!

[he steps out of the way so Andrew can get up and take hits. Like any whack-a-mole game, it starts out slow and easy with gray and purple cats that are clearly very different from each other, but gets faster as the time gets on, with closer shades of cats chosen.

That said, the cats can totally take some damage but not too much, they are just mechanical dolls made by a bunch of students and the engineer club. Good luck being gentle Andrew. ]

[angealwings]

[ Perhaps Andrew is over as replacement instructor because Neithardt has to be awy for a little while, and Elliot has taken upon himself to show him around. Or something along those lines? ]

Thank you, Elliot.

[ And Andrew will do well, and without actual significant property damage. Because they are sturdy.

... okay, he might start getting a little frustrated at some point. ]

Really?

i-a

[roughplayer]

[ this actually a really fun dream to end up in. kazuki likes arcade games and has regular face-offs with xiaolang and his cousin when they meet eyes (like pokemon trainers). plus he really wants to whack a cute cat mascot? there's a prize? heck yes!

wait, if he's so eager and obviously so to play some mishy panic,

why is he being chased around before it can start!? this isn't fair, the fuck. ]

Who let a wild dog in the training room? Catch him!

[ ren: i thought you'd appear as a dog in my dreams

well it had to happen sometime. anyway yeah, by no fault of elliot and probably some fruit's love for shenanigans, kazuki is a fluffy gray-ish doggo. sorry elliot on that front. on the other front, he's running right towards the boy because hey a familiar face! ]

(Elliot!)

[fiddlestick]

[ WELP

Well Elliot sure wasn't expecting a doggo! He gasps when he sees the dog run up to him. ]

Aw, how cute!

[he does hear Kazuki's voice, but it doesn't click that it's coming from the dog. So he's looking around]

Kazuki?

II-C

[royaldifficulties]

[ And there is his totally not DADA teacher who is calmly explaining how to master the next spell.

He even smiles a little at Elliot, whose tonal verbalizing is pitch perfect. ]

Well done, Weesley. However, you'll need to speed up the motion of the wand a little if you want to have the desired effect.

Would you like to try again?

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot breathes out a sigh of relief when he hears he has the tone down. He'll glance over at the professor]

Thanks Professor. Speed it up about how much?

[royaldifficulties]

[ The pronunciation is important, especially when one must get the spell out in a hurry, and what kind of teacher would he be if he didn't make sure that they could use it in a pinch? The rest is just for improving. ]

Try to match the end of the downwards motion with the end of the first part of the spell. It is slightly counter-intuitive, as the voice goes down just there, but it will be worth it.

III-A... I think

[nachetanya]

[ Natalia is pretty sure she doesn't know how to ride a horse. Sure she grew up rural so you would think she does, but she never really had much of a chance to learn before she lost her arm and after that it was a lot harder to do and then she left and ... yeah. She - well, the her of the other world definitely did though. And it's entirely possible that it's because of that and the fact that they're riding with at least three other ambiguous people on ambiguous horses that she's not surprised to be riding.

... She is surprised she doesn't recognize the terrain at all. Or that- ]

Oh, Elliot...?

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot meanwhile doesn't seem to question the oddity of Natalia being in this place. You don't question such things in a dream. But he does seem to recognize her, and approach]

Hey Natty! Is it okay if I ride with you?

[nachetanya]

[ . . . Well, it seems she can ride so... ]

No, of course! Let's ride together, Elliot!

iB —i return

[usurpers]

[ eren’s been in recollé for a while now— on spring vacation from high school and 19 fresh years on his back (march was just last month), he fixes the backpack slung over his shoulders and takes a look around. he promised he’d come again, and here he was, glad to get some fresh air and away from his parent’s suffocation. he paid for this trip with his own money, what was running short now that his allowance was going to vocal coaching once a week, but . . .

at least his part time evening jobs were helping with something. mom and dad couldn’t say no if he worked for it like they told him to.

eren’s about to walk, take his phone out and give elliot a call when, surprise, he’s right next to him. he almost ran into him, but surprise is quickly and awkwardly (he nearly ran him over??) is settled with an equally bright smile. all his house troubles are gone. ]

—Hey! I was just, [ he holds his phone up, and surely elliot’s chat window is open with a quarter of a message typed. ] too slow.

welcome back

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot meanwhile just seems so happy to see Eren. He's here! He's really visiting! There's part of him that wants to reach out and hug him, but he doesn't dare. Instead he's just bouncing on his feet to contain his excitement]

Hehe, sorry. I'm used to the train schedule, so I decided to wait for you!

How was the trip?

[usurpers]

[ what do you mean, he doesn’t get a hug??? let eren fix that. regardless, he starts grinning as the surprise of him being there slips away. and he was just sitting here, waiting for him? ]

‘Course you’d do that.

[ he probably would have done the same, and feels delighted affection from it. who wouldn’t if you knew someone was happy to see you? eren’s arms do sling around elliot and his hand smacks his back the way he would with one he’d call a friend, not that he had too many. but just as any casual hug, he doesn’t linger and swiftly pulls back once he’s squeezed elliot, pocketing his phone and giving a sigh through the smile. ]

I got the wrong metro on the second stop. [ IT WAS CRAZY HE HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH BUT ] I dunno how I still made it on time.

i-a

[tarotcards]

[ at first, playing a game called "mishy panic" sounds cute and great but as soon as elliot saw the cute animatronic cats popping out of the hole, he puts down his red mallet. he puts it down and looks at elliot with a very serious face ]

... this is animal abuse, Elliot.

[fiddlestick]

Er-

[he's there, looking at Souji]

They're machines, Souji. They're not real animals.

[tarotcards]

Are you telling me that you're an advocate of robophobia as well?

[ he stares straight at elliot ]
