Far Side of the Aurora Borealis
Congratulations, dreamers of Manhattan - you get to go to Oxford! It's probably not the Oxford with which any of the dreamers are familiar, though. This one is a bit… different.
The dreamers will find themselves in Jordan College, the oldest and grandest of all the colleges in this version of Oxford, a rambling structure that includes dining halls, libraries, classrooms, chapels, courtyards, a botanical garden, and an extensive network of cellars and tunnels beneath the ground. There are plenty of places to explore!
Sharp-eyed dreamers might notice some subtle architectural quirks. Doors look larger than they'd need to be for solely human use, and every staircase has a little ramp built in - not large enough for a wheelchair, but large enough for, say, a small, scampering animal.
And speaking of - the dreamers are a bit different here, too. Upon arrival, they will realize that they now possess dæmons: physical manifestations of their souls. Be gentle with them; they're undoubtedly confused by being suddenly made manifest. They come with all the side effects and complications inherent with dæmons. They can't travel more than a few yards from their person without it being painful for both parties… and it probably won't take the dreamers long to realize they shouldn't be touching one another's dæmons, what with the shared sensations and all. Still, it's a rare opportunity for the dreamers to chat with their own souls - and the souls of others.
What could possibly go wrong?
[Mod note: you know the drill. All players and characters are welcome, regardless of whether they're current members or not. Characters will remember or forget any and all dream events at players' discretion.]

She should be looking. Covering the exits. Think, she tells her self. Think like a Dauntless.

Merewenna does the same before hopping from the bench down to the pathway. "Let's go explore," she says, blinking up at Edgar.
Almondine stands, her tail fanning the air happily, and looks to Edgar. he wouldn't mind a little bit of exploration himself, so he nods before turning to Tris and Hecaterus. /Want to walk around with us?/
no subject
Hecaterus seems calmed and reassured, so she'll trust the odd spirit.
no subject
He glances as Tris from the corner of his eye. She doesn't look familiar, and he wonders if she's come through the Rift, too.
/Did you come through the Rift?/ he asks?
no subject
"I was trying to pass through a fence."
no subject
Which means anything could be behind the doors they are approaching. Edgar gives Tris and Hecaterus a smile and gestures.
/So, should we try door number one or door number two?/
