[OPEN] DERSE MINGLE

[patriachy]

DERSE, also known as the Kingdom of Darkness is one of the two kingdoms in the INCIPISPHERE, located beyond The Veil of asteroids that surround the Medium. DERSE wages an unending war against the Light Kingdom, PROSPIT, striving for the destruction of SKAIA.

Those who dream on DERSE are viewed generally more as "team mascots"; although the DERSITE residents consider the DREAMERS to be their allies, THE ULTIMATE GOAL will eventually put the DREAMERS at odds with the residents of DERSE, who covet SKAIA'S destruction.

It is time for the DREAMERS to begin awakening.

CORPSE PARTY

[notyouraigis]

[ There is one Derse Dreamer who isn't waking up. He won't ever wake up. Just as the first player entered the Medium, the Dreamself of Eighis Hapara stepped out of his tower. And he fell.

One could find Eighis' freshly dead and broken body on the ground just outside his tower before the carapaces get to it. Or, after the carapaces have collected and cleaned up the body, one could watch it be paraded through the streets. Either way, it all comes out the same. It's time for a corpse party. ]

[This place is strange, yet... somehow, it feels almost familiar. The black-carapaced people turn to watch as she drifts past, but she doesn't pay them much attention yet; none of them have tried to harm her, suspiciously as they regard her. They seem to be going about their usual business; she doesn't want to interrupt unless it is necessary.

There seems to be a ruckus up ahead, though; a cluster of the locals have gathered around something at the base of one of the tall towers like the one she emerged from. As she draws near, she's about to ask if there's any assistance she can render, when she sees the body in the center of the group. Oh.

Oh.]

[starstorm]

[ before long, two other dreamselves float down. one looks extremely curious; she is literally dragging the other who looks like she's trying to be anywhere but where she is now.

the curious one's face turns to one of shock when she realizes whose body everyone is gathered around. ]

Ghighi?

[polygraphing]

[ mandya flails uselessly in nikkal's grip and covers her eyes with her hands, whining all the while- ] Nikal oh my god I told you I didn't want to see this dead thing seriously what the fuck why would I want to see this- [-but then breaks off at nikkal's exclamation. slowly, she turns and uncovers one eye ]

...... Eighiz? [ whether she knows she's pronouncing his name wrong or not doesn't really matter, because holy shit. it's one thing to know about a friend dying, and another entirely to see their dead body ]

[austereastronomer]

It seems so. I... think he must have fallen.

[...wow, that is literally the most obvious, inane thing she possibly could have said. She's still not really sure what she should say.

She glances sideways at the newcomers, familiarity dawning:]

You're—

[starstorm]

[ welp she's just going to pout... eighis what happen :c but oh who is this troll here. ] Oh, hihi.

[austereastronomer]

...hello. Were... were you also friends of his?

[starstorm]

Oh, uhh... [ she briefly looks over at mandya, finally letting go of her wrist. ] Um, kinda. Niknik doesn't think he liked her much, but...

[polygraphing]

[ mandya just kind of stares for a while, her face somewhat unreadable, before snapping back into a bored yet slightly unsettled look ] Yeah, I know him. Known him for ages, actually. He's dumb as fuck, but I thought he at least wouldn't get his ass killed.
