This is My Island in the Sun [Open to All]

The Rift wouldn't say it's sorry for the fit it threw the other day, because the Rift never needs to apologize. It is (mostly) perfect, and all of its decisions are well reasoned and just. Obviously. But perhaps it has fallen into a bit of a post-tantrum sulk, because this dream is milder than one might expect. In fact, it's downright nice.

The dreamers will find themselves in an archipelago of small islands - most only a few acres in size - connected by narrow strips of sand or pebbles. The surrounding waters are calm. Little waves lap against the shorelines, and no rising tide will cut the islands off from one another. The islands themselves seem to have been lifted from every climate zone on Earth and several from beyond. Some are tropical, some colder and home to hardy conifers, some mossy and boulder-strewn, some covered in multicolored sand and odd, coral-like trees.

Most of the islands boast some kind of manmade or otherwise non-native structure, be it as small as a bench or as large as a pavilion, though there are no houses or shops to be seen. It's more like parkland, just civilized enough for a nice picnic. Some of the islands even have little grills, and a sufficiently motivated dreamer might be able to rustle up some hot dog or burger fixings if they poke around a bit.

And they'll have an extra pair of eyes to help with their searching, because their beloved dæmons have returnedagain. Or perhaps they're being introduced for the first time. Regardless, it's the bi-annual dæmon dream party!

"Wow," says Johnny, lifting his eyebrows. "That - that'd be great!"

"Johnny," Nova sighs, nosing at his hand, and it takes him a moment to realize what her deal is.

"Oh, um - well..." He hesitates, not sure how to go about explaining this to a little kid. "It's kinda... weird to touch someone else's animal thing. Like it feels really weird. So I don't know if that's a great idea." He shrugs, feeling almost apologetic for some reason. "Much as I would appreciate it."

"It does?" Melanie repeats, looking puzzled. Orisa had curled around her in the last dream, and neither she nor Aziraphale had said a word about it. Maybe it is an odd thing to do under normal circumstances, but if it's some kind of emergency, it's okay.

She looks at Niko and runs a palm over his fur, then back to Johnny. "Would it be weird if he just touched your clothes?" she asks. If Niko grew big enough for her to sit on his back, then he could just seize Johnny by the back of his shirt and trousers and carry him that way. It wouldn't be comfortable, but it wouldn't last that long.

"Uh..." Johnny pauses to consider, trying to remember. "I don't... actually know," he admits. "It wouldn't be weird for me, it'd be weird for you. Like... they're part of us, so we can kinda feel what they feel. You know?" Does she? He feels amazingly awkward. At least this encounter is going somewhat better than the last one. She seems pretty well put together for however old she is.
