THE CHIMERA'S TALE
"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality."

Something stirs in the air of Emiri. By now, the strange transmission is everywhere. People are actually beginning to talk about it, though in the quietest sense of the word. Anything in public areas will immediately be ignored, and even then, rumors are quickly snuffed out by the presence of the authorities, who have doubled in number due to the fact Federick Link has gone missing. Questions about his disappearance will not be answered or tolerated; anyone who attempts to even mention the name will be arrested and immediately detained. However, repercussions of Link mysteriously vanishing can be felt planet-wide.

All interplanetary travel has been suspended until further notice. Transportation between cities and from city to Moira (and vice versa) are still possible, but every movement is now heavily monitored. Don't be surprised if you suddenly find yourself stopped or detained for questioning or someone goes through your things. The same night Link goes missing, those aboard the Moira experience a dream or vision. Yet, no one planet-side will even begin to know what is being said if someone decides to ask about them.
DREAM #1The dream begins with the character's interpretation of a happy relationship, one filled with love and respect. It fades to show the image of Link'd Inc and what they are capable of, the comfort that comes from finding that perfect someone, and the boy's face can be seen, smiling and consoled by the fact that he has done this. He is responsible for this union and will continue to do whatever it takes for others to experience that same joy. Yet, this content will be ruined if the Komai are allowed to persist in spreading these lies of theirs. He wants you to know that they are wrong, that they are simply trying to chase you away from the possibility of a perfect future.

Waking up is quiet, peaceful. There is an urge to stay that overshadows the panic slowly seeping through the ranks, and the only question in your mind is why would you want to leave?

DREAM #2The dream begins with your character's interpretation of a failed relationship, one filled with pain and hardship. It fades to show the image of the Komai and what they are trying to stop, the chaos that comes from being forced into a match, and the girl's face can be seen, frowning and upset by the misery that comes from what she has done. She is responsible for this union and does not want to continue to do whatever it takes for others to experience this heartache. Yet, this sorrow will continue if Link'd Inc persists in spreading these lies of theirs. She wants you to know that they are wrong, that they are simply trying to force you into a possibility of a broken future.

Waking up is loud, violent. There is an urge to leave that overshadows the panic slowly seeping through the ranks, and the only question in your mind is why haven't we left yet?

☄ HARASHAN
Normally a bright jewel of Emirian culture, Harashan is looking rather ragged in the days that follows the transmission. Members of the Komai, or perhaps sympathizers looking to vent their frustrations, have tagged several buildings and public places with graffiti. Symbols of the Komai are everywhere, as well as denunciations of Link'd Inc in general. BROKEN LINKS? LET'S BREAK THE WHOLE DAMN CHAIN. DOWN WITH LINK! LOVE CAN'T BE FOUND IN A TEST! FREE THE CHILDREN!

The mood is tense. Occasionally, security will try and enforce the law and errant artists can be seen being dragged away. Onlookers appear either suspicious and fearful, and children are virtually nonexistent on the streets. Things are slowly beginning to reach a boiling point, and if one of those trouble makers happens to pin the blame on you, don't say there wasn't ample time to get away.
☄ AVELLE
The nightlife is everything. Welcome to Club Supernova.

Once inside, it's difficult to see who is who and what's happening between patrons. The music is loud, the lights are flashing, and it's a hypnotic craze that is easy to be swept up in. Yet, not everyone is having a good time. Perhaps an hour or two into the evening, you notice someone out of place at the bar. Their clothes are dirty, body language almost nervous. With the bartender turned, you watch them slip something into the drinks lined up along the bar. If you go to confront them, they will react in one of two ways. One: they will attempt to cause a commotion in order to slip away. Give chase if you think you can catch them, but inevitably, they will be lost somewhere outside. Two: they whisper "Don't stay here." and promptly bite down hard, the capsule hidden in their mouth breaking and killing them.

☄ ST. MURTEL
There's nothing abnormal about a check-up, now is there? You go in, the doctor looks you over, and then you're on your way without much fuss. Yet, what happens when a routine check-up - part of the all-inclusive deal of having taken the Link'd Inc survey - takes a strange turn?

The nurse tells you that your doctor will be right in, but ten minutes turns to thirty, and thirty into an hour. If you choose to leave the room in search of some assistance, you'll discover that the halls are oddly empty; no nurses, doctors, or other patients anywhere around. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice movement, a quick flash of white—it's a child running in the opposite direction. When (or if) you reach the child, some of you may recognize them, some of you may not. The girl begs you for help, tells you that she doesn't want to do this anymore, but before you have the chance to respond, you're surrounded by officials who take the child away. If you try to stop them from taking the girl, you will be detained and sent back to the Moira with further instructions never to set foot in St. Murtel ever again.

Eventually, the captains will come to the crew about finding the Komai in order to do whatever they have to so they can leave. Yet, they know it isn't safe for the entirety of the crew to be split up among the cities and would prefer to search one place--for both safety and a possible quick get-away. There will be a meeting in the mess hall asking for input and to share what anyone has seen or information that might not have been public knowledge to the rest of the crew. This is a ship-wide announcement, so anyone is free to attend.

( ooc; For questions, go here! )

[On its own, the fact that Drew actually got kicked out of the planet could be pretty amusing. Something they could laugh about together later.

Not with the way things had been going.]

Honestly, at this point, I'm starting to wonder if getting kicked off the planet and just leaving wouldn't be the one of better things to happen to us.

[Drew just sighs.]

Yeah but I mean... just leavin' the planet would have been totally okay but I literally got a police escort outta the damn thing an' told I could never come back. What if I wanted to do the whole intergalactic matchmaking gig again?

Not that I don't get you, but it's like... Would you want to get back after this? I mean, who knows what else they do if they'll arrest a little kid like that.

Okay maybe not. But I kinda thought everythin' was really cute before it all went to shit, y'know? [It was his first foreign planet, of course he'd find it cute. It could've been a planet made entirely of garbage and he might've found it cute, too.]

[He nods sympathetically.] Yeah, the first planet I was in was like that too. Well, not cute, but really fucking cool, before it all went to shit.

Oh yeah? [He frowns.] Y'gettin' the idea that things go to shit a little more often than you'd think?

[He nods as he lets out a sigh.] Yeah... One more planet where that happens, I'll count myself as sure of it, really.

Wait so the other one ended kinda like this, too? Well shit... [Drew's trust in their current situation has dropped ever so slightly.]

[Well, get ready for it to drop some more!]

Ah, no, the other one was, all things considered, worse off. It kinda... Doesn't even exist anymore.

Wait, what? [Because he totally doesn't understand that concept.] What d'ya mean it doesn't exist? Like it disappeared?

[He nods gravely.] Yes, actually. Completely gone, splintered and folded on itself. There's nothing there anymore.

[He stays silent for a moment, processing the memories of it all, before speaking again.] And we had to watch it happen.

[His eyes go wide and he moves just slightly closer to Tyler, hoping that his warmth could chase away the negativity like a witches' charm.] It did? How did that happen... y'all were there witnessin' the death of a planet?

[He leans closer to Drew as he speaks. It doesn't chase the negativity away, but it's appreciated nonetheless.] Yeah, it... I'm not completely sure how it happened, but... Basically, we were there for a while, then all of a sudden, something happened and one of our crew turned into this... Giant green thing, and started going on a rampage. Just about everything in that planet was made of glass too, so it was really easy to do a lot of damage. Somehow, that triggered something that made the whole start shattering, and next thing you know, we're helping people evacuate, and when we're back in space, all we can do is watch the planet die. Just like that.

Well shit. [Which sums up the situation pretty well. He puts an arm around Tyler. Giant green things and shattering planets doesn't exactly sound like his cup of tea.] I mean... shit... [He wasn't exactly verbose about it, he was just very glad it wasn't him.]

Yeah... Shit. [He leans more against Drew, not expecting anything else out of him. Because what did you say about that?]

[Drew can't help but wrap both of his arms around Tyler now.] Least I'm here now, hon, I can try an' protect you from this kinda shit.

[He lets out a content hum despite himself. Drew's comforting, even if he doesn't expect the other wolf to be able to do much. But it's still a nice thought.] Thanks, love. I appreciate it.

Y'should. It ain't often that I try an' protect you from nothin' usually its the other way 'round.

[He chuckles.] Don't worry, I'm sure there'll be plenty of chances to do the usual.

I'm guessin' there will be, considerin' this whole thing is like a cocktail of crazy shit.

Yes... Yes it is.

Glad it wasn't just me thinkin' it, figure it mighta been some kinda special you're new and y'ain't used to it deal.

[He shakes his head with a bit of a rueful chuckle.] I wish. I really do, but no. So far, it's been shit on top of shit after a period of calm.

[Drew just tilts his head.] An' there I was thinkin' this was gonna be some kinda space vacation.

[He puts his hand on Drew's jaw to straighten it before leaning forward to press their foreheads together. Despite himself, he does allow himself a more genuine smile.] That would've been awesome, wouldn't it? Just a long vacation in space.
