Calling all canons and plots and other fun type things
It's that time again.
That's right, Nadia's going on another dream marathon.
I established sometime last April or so that Nadia has prophetic dreams. This is something that's hinted at in canon without ever really being addressed, that I extrapolated wildly on.
The essence of it is that Nadia has this connection thingy with Milo Rambaldi, that crazy, crazy Italian prophet that drives so much of Alias. Due to the tweaks I've made in her background, she was exposed to more of the Rambaldi elixir that triggers this connection in her youth than she was in the show, and last year, Arvin Sloane showed up to expose her to more. This not only reconnected her, but made said connection semi-permanent, and so now she has prophetic dreams.
These include any aspect of canon (that's stuff that happens both before and after where your character is drawn from) as well as any in game plotty stuff that might be coming up or recently occurred.
The original plotterywheel post is here
Nadia will only dream about that which I have OOC permission from those concerned for her to dream about
Due to the dreams she's had in the recent weeks for the Source!Bel plot (located here and here), Nadia is getting frustrated. The dreams were not timely enough in her opinion, and they weren't clear enough for her to really finger the culprit. She has started working with Aziraphale and Blair to attempt to better understand and possibly even control the dreams so that they will work to everyone's advantage.
This? Totally isn't going to work.
What will happen is that Nadia will inadvertently make her connection with Rambaldi and his propheticness more concrete, and she'll begin dreaming, like, all the time, whether she likes it or not.
She will, in fact, become moderately narcoleptic, falling asleep in random places (any where where she's not physically active), start dreaming much sooner upon falling asleep, and in the process of waking up, have startlingly vivid hallucinations that she will be convinced are real. The dreams she's going to have, and the hallucinations, will be of the Rambaldi prophetic type.
Well, I'm looking for some good dream-fodder. Bits of people's canons or future plots or such the like that they don't mind getting sent through my own personal dream-imagery filter. This can be something you want Nadia to bring to your character's attention, or something she will be quietly disturbed by, or something she won't understand at all. I'd love to have little snippets of conversation occur in a dream before they occur in the game (I can handwave this and play it out through her reaction, or it can be written up dream style, either way). These can be monumental or totally trivial, earth shattering or benign, Pip's horrible, horrible canon death or Pippi randomly wearing Bitterwoman underroos. Chaos, people, chaos!
For examples of Nadia's past dreams and my own dream-image writing, see here.
I'm mostly looking for general themes here ("have her dream about this event somehow" works really well; if I'm not familiar with your canon, I'm more than willing to do research to get something interesting), but if you have specific imagery or lines of dialogue you want included (and possibly warped to all hell), that's cool, too. I'm not looking for you to hand me a script, just a general outline that I can play with and make Nadia's.
I'm going to make this a slow build to crisis if at all possible, so there should be plenty of time to get in dreams. Those who haven't requested them before get precedence, but I'll try to get everyone in if I get a big response.
If I don't . . . I might come ask you if I think there's something in your canon I can use, or I might just make it all up as I go along and have Nadia dream about evil pink ponies attacking all the time. ;D
If you want to have your character get involved in a non-dream way, that's totally possible, too. As I said, Nadia will be falling asleep all over the place and at really odd hours. This could mean people discovering her in the hallway outside the bathroom, or teachers yelling at her for falling asleep in class, all that rot. Concerned folk are welcome to help her try to come to grips with the whole thing and figure out how to solve the narcolepsy issue (the problem being metaphysical, the usual medical treatments aren't going to work). This is the sort of plot that I think can fit in in small places to other plots as well, especially in the department of weird foreshadowing.
So, requests? Questions? Comments? Comments are screened to stop any spoilers, and questions that are for clarifying will be unscreened for all to view.
