JANUARY TDM - WINTER DREAMS
Welcome to the Undying Court's January Test Drive Meme! This post also functions as the January Event for existing characters, and continues the Winter Season, led by the Blue Court.

New characters may handwave or backdate the previous season's arrival prompt should they wish to, but you may otherwise assume they've been here the whole time! Additionally, all TDM threads can be taken as in-game canon if desired. And remember that apps open February 3-7, with invites opening on January 28, and reserves not long after!

Note that this post will contain: violence, enthrallment, torture, slavery, horror and potentially sexual content. Dreams come in many forms, after all.

This event also features another chance for characters to submit Regains, so make sure to submit after you've posted your top-level or reply to someone else's dream. For characters both new and old, feel free to brush up on the Premise, Vampire Powers, and head over to the FAQ/Game Info page if you have any questions!

  • Note that this event will be occurring throughout the month of January and into February, so characters are free to forward-date as desired!
  • For new characters please format your Top-level in this format: Character Name | Canon | Court | Youngblood/Novice | TDM
  • For existing characters please format your Top-level in this format: Character Name | Court | Youngblood/Novice
  • If you have any questions specific to the event, ask them in the Plotting Post Q&A section!

ONCE UPON A DREAM
A quiet falls over the Castle as a new day begins to break. As with every morning, this is a time when vampires must retreat to avoid the rays of the sun, pulling heavy curtains around their beds and windows to block out any light. However, this particular morning is abnormally quiet as the whole of the Castle seems to fall asleep all at once, and all together. After this enchanted sleep, and for the the next thirty days, the Castle's residents will start to experience strange phenomena within their dreams.

During this period, dreams become more vivid, so realistic it feels like the dreamer is awake. Dreamers can pass into each other's dreams without meaning to. Some of these dreams are in fact memories--either those from the lives the characters have lived in the Castle and the outlying lands, or the strange memories they've begun to gain back.

But be careful! For what starts as a regular memory might start to warp into something new. If you're lucky, it'll be something positive, like a dream of a home you've always wanted. But if you're unlucky, the memory might twist and turn into a nightmare, catching you in it and turning your worst fears against you.

Each nightfall, everyone will wake and return to normal. Or at least, most people will.

[Note: Any current characters who participate in the dream event by creating a top level or tagging someone else at least once in this prompt may be rewarded with a free impactful memory, which may be used in the dreamscape. Don't forget to submit for your Regains!]
A NIGHTMARISH CURSE
It turns out that not everyone wakes up. Those who stay in nightmares for too long may find themselves cursed, and unable to wake up. At first, the curse appears no different from regular sleep. But a few hours in the victim will start screaming uncontrollably. No touch will wake them, no amount of calling their name will break the spell. After too long, the victim will start to bleed, slowly at first, and then more and more as they remain afflicted. A victim left unattended will bleed out and die.

The Council works quickly to step in. Kashire (who is looking rather frayed this season) delivers the news that there's no need to panic, but everyone will need to do their part in locating and curing victims. In fact, the youngbloods seem to be taking this as the perfect opportunity for a teaching moment, and students are expected to try and find a cure with the skills that match their Court. Novices and youngbloods alike are encouraged to try and help lift the curse from anyone they can. (Get creative! Blood heals many wounds...) Any victims that have progressed too far will need to be seen to by Revar.

The nightmare curse, however, can spread quickly. Anyone who enters the nightmare of a victim will fall victim to the curse. Additionally, any attempt to reach out to the mind of a curse victim will also spread the curse. With the combined efforts of the students and teachers, the curse can be completely put out. But it will take time and care to ensure everyone is found in time, and cured safely.
ANYWAY, WINTER GAMES!
But a few curses aren't going to stop the Blue Court from making sure everyone has a good time. The days might be short, and weighed down by the threats of nightmares, but winter has hit Castle Courtsheart in full force, and the long nights and snow-covered grounds make for an excellent backdrop to the Inter-Court Winter Games!

There isn't really a reward for the winning house besides bragging rights and maybe a trophy that doubles as a chalice, but youngbloods and novices alike are invited to join in the festivities and compete against one another in the spirit of glory and the chance to lord over your Court's superiority. Even Council members and mature vampires of each court seem to enjoy cheering on their respective teams from the stands. Everything is fine! Forget your troubles and go play in the snow.

What kind of sports do vampires play? Feel free to get creative, but here are some examples:
  • Thrall-Curling: Since vampiric strength proves to be a little too much for this sport otherwise, teams of novices (or youngbloods) of the same Court can team up to gently compel their thralls to play the thrilling sport of curling. Coax that stone across the ice with care, and take out the opposing team! Or, well, the thralls will do that, assuming they're guided well. Try not to break them. (The thralls, that is.)

  • Figure skating: Practicing your pirouettes? For a vampire, a quadruple-axel is hardly worth breaking a sweat over. Favored for its beauty and almost seductive grace, the figure skating competition will be scored and judged by a multi-court panel. Participants might get extra points for incorporating bladework and masking into their sets, so these performances are sure to wow the judges.

  • Ice Hockey: Yes, the high-contact sport transcends time and space, but vampires don't need silly things like helmets or padded safety gear. Don your court's colors and hit the ice to toss the puck around and score as many points against the opposing team as you can before the time runs out. Violence is encouraged! Everyone likes to see a bit of blood on the ice this time of year. (Shadowstepping is considered cheating, but only if you get caught.)
And more! Snowball fighting may not be a sport, but there's no better time to enjoy the outdoors and stretch those growing fangs and muscles than the dead of winter. So whether you're cheering on your Court or watching from the sidelines, there's something here for everyone. Just because the castle is full of the the undead doesn't mean they can't have a little winter fun.
CLASS NOTES
Other notable happenings for the early winter season include:
  • Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and maybe it's time to find or make gifts for that special blood claim in your life. This season blood jewelry is the hot ticket item. These are pieces made from precious metal and glass, which hold the blood of a vampire in them. Carry a lover's blood to show how much you love them, or carry your own to force down the throat of your enemies so you can influence them.

  • Whispers around school start to say that Black Court lost a novice this month. Not murder this time! He simply unmade himself trying to mistwalk. Eh, these things happen.

  • As a result of a tie in last month's pumpkin carving contest, members of the Black and Red Courts will find small packages outside their doors. They are gifted silver letter openers, with the handle inlaid with pumpkins and leaves, and a note from Revar with a little drawing of a pumpkin and their signature. How nice!

  • Lady Whisperfangs is quiet for now, but her time is yet to come... This month's check-in will have a field to submit gossip about your characters! Vampires do so love their drama.


Once again, characters are free to talk to the NPCs as well: Revar & Kashire. For any questions regarding this month's prompts, please comment in the Plotting Post. For general game questions, please check the FAQ/Game Info. In the meantime, remember to submit your Regains for this month's free reward, and keep an eye out for our AC Check-in next week, starting on January 25-31.

The new year has brought us plenty of thirsty vampires, so we're glad you're here to share them with you!

Hayato Ichimonji | Kamen Rider | Blue Court | Youngblood | TDM

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-21 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[The corner of your eye.]

[Strange critters hanging around isn't all that weird! Vampires have inner animals, after all, so seeing some out of place creature scuttling around isn't out of place in Castle Courtsheart. It's entirely possible that you've seen a particular red-tailed hawk with a little red scarf perched here and there, just checking stuff out.]

[Usually, he just flies away, off to do important hawk things, but this time, if you manage to catch the hawk's eye, he'll spread his wings and- become a whole guy!]

[With a gleam in his blue eyes and a grin that screams busy body he will greet you, if you're a Novice.]


Hey, hey, you look new around here, what's your name? We got such an interesting batch of novice's the past season, it looks like.

[Or, if you're a fellow Youngblood.]

Want to grab a drink? I've been so busy lately, it seems like I've missed a lot, let's catch up!

[For youngbloods who know him, Hayato is a friendly guy who seems to be pretty genuine 90% of the time, but blue court knows him as a guy who is always listening, and looking for information. For what? Who knows! He doesn't share his secrets with anyone. He's been a youngblood for about 15-20 years.]


[Winter Sports!!]

[Sorry about getting absolutely clotheslined by a 5'8" brick wall, but once the score is called he'll hurry over to try and help you up. Look, all's fair in the heat of the game, but he's not a jackass.]

Sorry about that! You okay? C'mon, you can get me back in the next round.

[Winter Sports Part 2]

[When he isn't playing, he's also the ref. Man likes sports! But, he calls it fairly and he will not stand for people getting in his business over it.]

Oi, it was out of bounds! I'm not changing the call. If you've got a problem, we can settle this after the game. [With fists.]


[A Nightmarish Curse.]

[That screaming is becoming synonymous with the nights of this month. While walking down the hall, Hayato will turn the corner and try to catch your attention.]

Hey, I've found another. I'm going to need some help with this one.

[For all that he's usually in a cheery mood, there's a stone cold seriousness in him now. Whatever is going on in the castle, hurting everyone, he's not happy about it and he's taking it seriously.]

[ooc: HIS AU WORKSHOP IS HERE. Feel free to reach out to me to plot!]

[ Eden was not prepared for a hawk to dive down and suddenly turn into a man. She'd been walking around, looking over notes while keeping moving around, like a practice in splitting focuses. Except now she was fumbling to catch the notebook again before looking at-

Okay, taking a look around before, ah, back up to blue eyes- That made sense. It was hard to tell where the sparkle of silver and the natural light blue-grey differed in her own. ]


Eden Woods... Not too new. There's a whole season of novices newer than me.

[ And the way that she's tugging her cloak to keep warm was a silent way of saying that she's not helping you cover up, sir. She doesn't mind staring at someone that's naked. Sure, it's distracting, but not in the worst of ways. ]
secondtyphoon: icons by me (10)

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-21 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[That's fair. It's his own fault if he gets cold-- but, he's a vampire so it doesn't bother him as much as it would novices. Being a vampire is probably also why just popping out of bird form without any shame is possible.]

Oh ho? Maybe I have seen you around, then. It's nice to meet you!

[He does probably have his clothing stashed somewhere near by. He won't be just standing there naked for long. Probably. Give him a second to go look while he continues chatting.]

Have you been enjoying yourself at the castle? What court are you heading towards?
serpendipity: (F63)

[personal profile] serpendipity 2024-01-21 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Have you been lurking around as a bird this whole time, until now?

[ She won't stop him from looking, but of course it means he can't stop her from looking either. If she's lucky, he'll have to bend over and stuff... ]

Silver Court seems to be the path I'm staying on, as fun as the other classes are as well.
secondtyphoon: <user name =seishirou> (55)

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-21 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not the whole time, but if you've seen a random hawk hanging around for no reason here or there, that was probably me.

[Ah, there we go! Robes are convenient! Anyway, if Eden wants to look while he does that, she will note that Hayato had been very fit in life before his Making. Someone who did a lot of physical training before becoming a vampire.]

I see, I see. I have a good friend in Silver Court! He's way too smart for his own good and if I didn't drag him out for fun once in a while, he'd never leave his room, haha.
serpendipity: (F1)

[personal profile] serpendipity 2024-01-21 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Why yes, she will be pleased to look and note that down. ]

Ah, one of the ones that gets so caught up in researching that they can easily forget what season it is?

[ She... Didn't think that her former Maker had any friends. He didn't seem the type. ]

[He steps back as the hawk transforms, impressed, and realizing this is something he could do someday. If he had an issue with Hayato being nude, he didn't show it in his brown eyes, flecked with an intense turquoise blue]

Phantom Harlock, just got dragged here this season.

[The scar-faced man answers with a casual shrug of his shoulders]

So what should I call you?
secondtyphoon: <user name =seishirou> (55)

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-21 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Seeing an animal turn into a naked person is probably not all that weird for the castle, honestly.]

Phantom Harlock. [What a name!]

[His grin widens a bit, he catches the bit of blue in his eyes.]


Hayato Ichimonji of the Blue Court! It's nice to meet you.
flagofbone: (Default)

[personal profile] flagofbone 2024-01-21 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Perhaps he hasn't seen weirder, but he certainly has seen worse. Given how mostly blue the man's eyes is, the ex-bandit is certain he is probably not a novice, especially the way he phrased the question]

Nice to meet you as well I suppose. So are you one of the teachers here, or just hanging around the place?
secondtyphoon: (76)

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-21 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a teacher, though I didn't think I was teaching this season. I might be taking over some classes as a favor for another teacher.

[What will he teach? you will just have to find out!]

I was pretty busy before so I've missed out on this batch of novices. I hope you're adjusting okay to the castle. Are you studying for Blue Court?
flagofbone: (I believe in the flag of bone and skull)

[personal profile] flagofbone 2024-01-21 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll make note of that. He rolls his shoulders]

Adjusting, I suppose I am.

[Harlock isn't exactly hiding from the tone of voice that he isn't entirely thrilled about everything]

But I am under the Blue Court's banner.

generic bird noises

[personal profile] tothemetal 2024-01-21 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jacob's probably seen this hawk before at some point in his travails around the castle. he's probably seen a lot of things, animal or otherwise, but for the most part they don't really register. even now he's still struggling to come to terms with the reality that he's meant to have his own thoughts on things; what does and does not deserve his attention is an eternal conundrum that some days he feels will never be solved.

today, however, he's stared at the bird just long enough that it's become a man. it makes him jump in surprise rather than ignorance, an apology immediately jumping to the edge of his tongue only to be mercifully cut down by Hayato's own greeting.]


Oh, uh, yeah, guess 'm still pretty new. Dunno about interesting though, haha! Uh...my name's Jacob.

[ah, this man is definitely older than he is, isn't he? and a fully fledged vampire to boot. after a moment of laborious pondering and a little hesitation, he opts for bravery and tacks on a quiet:]

...sir.

[there, that's much more respectful.]

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-22 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, it’s just really entertaining to startle the Novices like this. He doesn’t look offended, but he does stand there and wait for Jacob to resort himself with that stupid grin on his face.]

[The “Sir” actually gets a laugh out of him.]


Well met! And, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. People rarely end up Novices unless there’s something interesting about them. Now, if they realize that is another story.

[Sorry about this overly friendly naked man, here, he’ll go get the robes he left off to the side and put them on. That’s only polite, if they were going to chat.]

Where did you come from, Jacob?

[you mean like how people may not realize they've been having a conversation someone while almost entirely naked? not that Jacob's really seemed to register that in a meaningful enough way that would elicit a reaction...you simply don't question your betters, and that includes states of dress or otherwise. he does politely turn his head while Hayato changes, as if they hadn't been having a full frontal nudity-to-face conversation just six seconds ago???? ok, child.]

Just down the hall...like, from that way? [he'd struggle a bit to indicate what direction he meant when he wasn't looking at the vampire, but he'd manage!] Was just getting something to eat before I jumped into my classwork again.

[...sweetheart. that's not the sort of 'where did you come from' that he meant.]

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-24 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh… Bless his heart… He can’t help but laugh a little, but it’s a good natured kind of chuckle. He pulls out his notebook, a little memo pad in the pocket of his robs, and flips to an empty page.]

I meant before you came to the castle, but that did technically answer my question, I guess.

[He’s getting the feeling this chat will be entertaining, if nothing else.]
creamcottonshepherd: ([Mute gasp] oh no....wha happun...)

A Nightmarish Curse (hands you a tiny old lady in maybe blue)

[personal profile] creamcottonshepherd 2024-01-22 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[The novice Hayato is found is very, very old. Maybe he recognizes her- she came in from the north through the Lottery, and is ultimately starting with the Blue Court entirely by the fortune of who opted to be her Maker- but then, perhaps not. Either way the first season stands out, hobbling along with a not so dissimilar severity.]

Oh- Oh dear- I can't pretend I have much to offer, but I can at least do my best to calm them down...

[Not that it's doing a whole lot, but when all you have to bring to the table is lullabies and a comforting presence, you do what you can. She's only learned so much through the first half of this season.] Has there been any progress with finding the cause of all of this?
secondtyphoon: <user name =seishirou> (48)

Holds her carefully….

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-22 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He is passively aware of her. It’s not something that happens often- someone makes it to the Court at her age, so she had stuck out to him as something of interest.]

[He was hesitant to call on someone so new, but he really can’t be picky. The person he’s found is progressing too fast, and he’d rather try and help as fast as possible, lest he have to get Revar involved.]


It’s worth a try.

[And to answer her question, he shakes his head.]

Nothing yet, as far as I know. Every court is scrambling, trying to find something that sticks. We just have to keep trying— C’mon, follow me.

[He will lead her to a room, but the screaming getting louder will easily make it clear where they are going.]
creamcottonshepherd: (Weeping)

[personal profile] creamcottonshepherd 2024-01-23 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Worst case at the least, they can buy time for until someone with the kind of experience Revar has- though that's probably...Just Revar, unfortunately- can arrive. Every little bit counts, and so Cotton follows.

The old woman doesn't gasp in alarm as the screams grow louder, but the concern etches itself into the lines of her face. Fingers to her lips, she muffles a sound of worry.
]

Oh no...they're going to be a terrible sight, I'm going to need bandages and water for certain...

[More screams, more chances of bleeding- and at the very least she's been able to work on controlling that as much as she can.] Well, best get ourselves in there then.

[At least the door isn't locked! ....

Right? ...The door isn't locked right-
]
secondtyphoon: icons by me (14)

[personal profile] secondtyphoon 2024-01-24 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, if the door is locked, it isn’t anymore because Hayato slams it open with such an urgency that it probably rips the lock apart. It’s more important to be efficient than cautious!! They can fix a door later.]

If there’s nothing in their room, we can make bandages out of one of their sheets.

[Again, these are things that can be replaced once the safety of the novice is secured.]

[The screaming is so much worse once the door is open. Hayato grits his teeth and storms over to their side. Ah, they are bleeding a little, but it’s not dire just yet. They need to try and get them to wake up.]


If you wouldn’t mine assessing the water and bandage situation, I’ll try and get them to snap out of it.

[He fishes in his coat for a few vials. Being Blue Court you would think he might have some …secret blue court method but no, he has a Silver Court best friend and he hooked him up with what are powerful vampire smelling salts. HOPEFULLY THEY WORK.]
creamcottonshepherd: (*unjudgementally* sips tea)

rolls a die... ...Oh nice, 17

[personal profile] creamcottonshepherd 2024-01-25 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Easy enough solution, and one Cotton nods in agreement with. There goes the door, and in they go. The old woman doesn't verbally reply to Hayato's request- but given she moves right to check through the room for what they need, she's clearly heard.

A wash basin at the side is quickly being brought over to rest on the side table so that it's more near. Bandage-wise, she's not having much luck there but well!
]

It's the spare linen, but it'll do the trick for now, [Cotton mutters, clicking her tongue a little.] For the moment, it looks like there's just a few spots that need cleaning...

[As she says it, she gets to it. The smelling salts meanwhile seem to be having some effect! At the very least, the screaming is quieting.]

You? A busybody like you, too busy to go meet new people? [For once, Norton's brow doesn't furrow, but he's tilted his head back, eyebrows rising high. He's that genuinely shocked.]

Did you get into something that scrambled your brain processes?

Right. [Norton is a little skeptical because aside from being a pain in the rear, he's always struck Norton as acting more like one of the students than a teacher. Norton himself is not much of a teacher because of his communication style, but...

Oh. Well.]


No one's told you, in the least? Haven't observed a thing either? Best you don't experience it for yourself, anyway.
secondtyphoon: <user name =seishirou> (59)

Now, now, I didn’t say that.

[He quirks a brow.]

I haven’t been completely occupied, but sometimes getting the accounts from several sources yields more interesting info than just being a fly on the wall.

[But then his gaze narrows as he regards Norton like a tiger hunting prey.]

It sounds like you have some interesting info, though, yeah?
wolframite: (003 | prospector)

[personal profile] wolframite 2024-01-24 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on what you call interesting. [What is this? Norton Campbell, the grump of the Blue Court, is willing to work with someone?

Honestly, yes. He has to. He's self-aware enough to know he doesn't have the smarts to find leads by himself. And he does have an interest in resolving this curse as quickly as possible, because it doesn't just affect a small group of people-- it'd affect him too, if he were to mess up somehow. He doesn't even know how to prevent it. Hence, he needs help and is looking to help.]


Also depends on what you've found out.
