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!

"Where is here?" asks Jed. "Other'n an ocean, I can see that. You made it sound like you were in New York, too." Is it just because he doesn't sleep much that he doesn't know about this shared dream stuff? Sleeping when he's able to be awake just always seemed like a waste of time to him, he can sleep when he's inanimate.

"You been in many?" asks Clementine.

"I am in New York. This is just - " He sits back on his heels, looks around, and shrugs. " - a dream about islands, apparently. Never seen 'em before." Most of these dreams don't seem to draw from anyone's experience in particular. As far as he knows, at least; if they are, god help the slapstick comedy person.

Beth tilts her head. "Four or five. Most of them have been nice! There was one with a lot of treehouses, I liked that best."

"Huh." Jed considers this, hands on his hips as he looks past the Balladeer and gazes off down the beach. "Islands, huh? Can't say I ever been on an island before."

"Manhattan's an island," mutters Clementine and Jed flaps a hand at her as he makes a shushing noise.

"Don't get all technical. Can't say I ever been on a real island," he reiterates. "So what I'm thinking is we quit this jabberjawing and we get exploring, whaddya say? I might even forget that you tried to sit on me if you play your cards right."
