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!

If his snide remarks are meant to rile, they're not doing a terribly good job of it, his presumption far too ridiculous to be taken seriously. "Don't talk to me about reason," she chides, sparing him another unimpressed look. "The universe in which you would be considered reasonable has yet to be discovered." Once again the Unicorn seems to be rather more offended, is less able or willing to school its aggravation and tension and stomps a front hoof, training its horn at his chest. The TARDIS glances at its overtly ruffled behavior but doesn't intervene, knowing it would not charge without being attacked first.

Besides, she's not done determining the extent of Zagreus' ineffectiveness. He tried to accuse her of the same, and as evidenced by the Unicorn it smarts on some level, but she's been useful enough and at least she has attempted to leave this universe. His manifestation's complaints make her wonder if he's done even that. "Have you not at least tried to escape?" she asks, mildly incredulous. And if he has, maybe some interesting details of his failure would be forthcoming.
