But shouldn't Cocoa already be gone by now? She leaves at 6 AM

@Lektra Bolt

Dynamo had woken up at around 5:45 am. So, maybe she and Speed will both be up and notice him trying to find both the living room/kitchen and then they all see Lektra having her nightmare?

Okie dokie

Yeah that's the idea, the nightmare will throw off everyone's schedules

I had a crazy idea here. What if when he touches her to shake her, instead of being woken up she accidentally pulls him into the nightmare and the two of them have to fight off or talk down the entire group of citizens and the ghost?

Maybe pull Cocoa in too? 

Too much?

@Emerald<3
Hmm...that would be rather interesting. Maybe they can help Lektra to know that she's okay and maybe the Twilight in the nightmare would know to back off, or something like that?

That does bring up a good question though. How would they be pulled into the nightmare if it's not dream magic? Maybe Princess Luna has a part to play in it? Instead of stopping the nightmare, she lets Dynamo and the others step in to help as a sort of test?

I was thinking Sparky or Speed brings out a VR machine, but that works too. I mean if it works for you guys?

I'm good with either option. Maybe that gives Speed and Lektra to sort of help with the idea of VR.

Oh no, the Magitek is done. It's just that maybe having Luna show up may be better.

Ok so let's bring Luna? She will warn them that as this is a really bad dream, she can't get them out until they resolve the situation?

The dream is repeating, and they have to save her from herself. When they enter, the dream has started at the beginning. They will initially be at ease as they enter the convention, but it will play out as I've posted. At the end they have twenty minutes of chase scenes before the dream repeats again.

Lektra will be completely helpless and terrified, and magic doesn't work. Spike is carrying a piece of the throne of Chrysalis

What do you guys think? 

@Emerald<3

That sound both interesting and terrifying. It gives them the challenge to save their friend from a repeating nightmare. Hmm...maybe this can give Luna that realization that the three of them are the next chosen element bearers? Which, in turn, would send word to Starlight to go and gather them?

[Dynamo Pad 11,462]

Just now, Lektra Bolt said:

Yeah! Let's do it! OMG this is great. I was initially hesitant to bring this idea up. It's seriously terrifying.

Were completely playing this by ear, I'll write the ghost and the citizens

I like how we all brainstorm and come up with amazing ideas.  

Would there be a way to write a script or something like that? That way, we won't have to play it by ear?

quite the tall order there man

[Dynamo Pad 11,462]

Just now, Lektra Bolt said:

But that's not how RP works. The fun of RP is to not just work it all out. I say get the throne fragment from Spike and smash it, then you can get some control over the dream but not much. Lektra has to get her confidence back

Oh, that's my bad. When I meant write out a sort of script, I was remembering when you said that you and @Califorum wrote out a scene on Discord. I wasn't sure if it would be something like that. Sorry for any confusion. 

[Dynamo Pad 11,462]

Just now, Lektra Bolt said:

That was cause it's a player versus player (PVP) fight and we didn't want to drag it out for hours or even days back and forth. Cali needed to go to bed and we just didn't want drag it out long

Oh, okay and now I see what you mean. Sorry again for any confusion. So, there would be little to no magic for Dynamo and Cocoa? If so, then I guess that would work on Dynamo trying to gain confidence as a leader for magic possibly?

[Dynamo Pad 11,462]

2 minutes ago, Lektra Bolt said:

Yup! That's the idea! It's a self contained little mission. Obtain and smash the throne fragment from Spike to restore magic, talk down the mob and the ghost or fight them, Lektra has to get her confidence back and everyone wakes up

I'm ready when you and Emerald are. I'm largely helpless anyway and will need to be carried around, probably by Dynamo on his back

Okay and sounds like a plan! I can see smashing the throne fragment will give them magic and defend themselves. Maybe Luna will be able to see this dream, but not interact, unless she needs to. I know that Dynamo is waiting for Cocoa and Speed to wake up and they'll see Lektra.

I won't be available much today since I'm about to head out to spend time with my friends, then I have to go to work. Just a quick fyi, but I'll do my best

Okay and no problem. Thanks for letting us know and maybe we can post more later tonight if possible. I'm going to try and stay up late and/or stay up all night.

Alrightie, then. Thanks! 

Have either of y'all posted yet, then?

I posted earlier today as Dynamo was up at around 5:45 am. He then left the room to see where the living room and/or kitchen is. That way, the group would find Lektra to help her from her nightmare.

2 minutes ago, Lektra Bolt said:

I'm waiting for you guys to enter the dream

Do you maybe have a minute to have Luna show up and pull everyone into dream after Dynamo notices what's going on? Will probably be a bit later today depending on schedules

But yea. It's ok if not, have fun with your friends and don't worry otherwise

Yeah, I should. I'll wake Cocoa up first. 

What do you want her to do again? Just wake up and get pulled into the dream with Dynamo?

[Emerald Heart 24,944]

18 minutes ago, Lektra Bolt said:

Yeah if possible. Maybe instead of Dynamo, Cocoa notices she's screaming in her sleep and shaking her to wake up doesn't work?

Luna shows up explains that the dream is particularly bad that she can't get them out and they have to beat it, and has turned into a repeating nightmare. Lektra is completely terrified from all the repeats with absolutely no control over what keeps happening to her. She'll be useless until the throne fragment is smashed. It's not the good loop where one can affect it a little. It happens exactly the same each time with no variation, which is just bad.

You guys would enter at the beginning of the loop maybe comment how this is cool, and it seems fine until it gradually goes bad, as described

The trick is to resolve it in the 20 to 30 minutes of chase scenes before it repeats again. Should be enough time?

Sounds good. I'll post now.

@Emerald<3 @Lektra Bolt

When Cocoa got brought into the dream world, was there a sort of magical sound or something like that? Giving Dynamo a way to find the others?

@Sherem

Well this is interesting. Didn't realize you wanted to join us and break into her house

You're going to the Twilight Convention Nightmare Ponyville too? See my earlier post on how it's supposed to go. You'll all be repeating that with Lektra, who is in a stupor basically as an NPC since this has happened to her about ten times now. She can't control herself anymore

soo...brace myself besides magic shining and one pony down, military pony responds

[Sherem 4,807]

Three ponies down actually. They're all in the dream and Lektra is screaming and sobbing in her sleep

You'll all go through the dream as described 

had to enter one way or another

Oh! No, but there was a bright flash of white light.

I just forgot to addthat

@Sherem

Oh, okay. I added a bright flash of white light just in case.

I guess Cocoa or Aerion will alert the others that appeared? I can imagine they are all together in the same area of the dream. 

[Dynamo Pad 11,462]

4 minutes ago, Lektra Bolt said:

Yeah easier for him to find the hut.

They would land at the entry of Ponyville while it's normal and seems okay. Luna explains at this point?

Just follow as posted for now please. Lektra is on auto pilot, initially happy, but she's repeating this and can't control herself. You'll all see something is wrong

I'm basically useless until the fragment of the throne of Chrysalis is smashed

@Emerald<3

Okay. Should I respond, or would it be better to wait for Cocoa?

@Lektra Bolt

It's okay and no need to apologize. I just got done helping out my mom and I'm good to go, as well. I was wondering something. Will the convention appear out of nowhere, or is it right there in town where everyone in the dream is gathering?
