Happy Dreamerversary!

YUMEMIGAOKA



    May is always a dicey time to have an outdoor event in Yumemigaoka but this year it seems like luck's on everyone's side. The morning of the 14th dawns with bright blue skies, beaming sunlight and a refreshing breeze - in other words, the perfect weather for an outdoor festival! As it does every year, the Dreamer Union is hosting its annual celebration of the first Dreamer Awakening now fifty-one whole years ago! Damn! Today's the day the entire community comes together to say happy anniversary, Dreamers!

    Part of the DU has been opened to the public for the event - while the upstairs beyond the second floor are still off limits, a number of informational boards with quick and breezy rundowns of the DU's functions and how it supports Dreamers are set up around the atrium and on the second floor. Some are informational, some are educational, and a few have trivia quizzes on them that you can answer at the front desk to get a little token for some free food at the event.

    The majority of the setup is outside, though - something between a pop-up market and a festival, with colourful sparkling banners and materials lining each stall. Some are small, independant businesses from around Yumemigaoka, some are larger organizations who sponsor the DU (they've gotta keep the lights on somehow!) and plenty of food and drink vendors. A few indie artists from the community are also selling merch and art catered to their fellow Dreamers, with imagery and in-jokes that wouldn't really mean anything to normal folks.

    Some particular stalls to keep an eye out for include...

      Dreamery Creamery are serving up scoops of their ice cream in all kinds of crazy flavours with a massive array of toppings and cones for you to choose from. To make things more exciting, Dreamers Sage, Soleil and Prisma are all helping out at the booth and serving ice creams themed after their Dreamer selves! How does Soleil Sorbet sound to you? Maybe Sherbert Sage? Or are you going for Prisma Pomegranate?

      Dice and Dash have a shaded area set up for people to sit down, take a load off and chill out with some board games! They've got a selection of games to borrow, but so long as they're not too busy, you're free to take up a table with your own entertainment if you've got it.

      Dream Weavers, famous for their position as the DU's go-to tailor, is strutting their stuff with recreations of some famous and well known Dreamers' outfits! As well as selling their goods, they're also hosting a little workshop where visitors can learn some quick and simple cosplay and sewing techniques to see how these outfits get made. Dreamers Luck, Gungir and Hanako will all be volunteering and... doing their very best at the cosplay workshop!

      Hybrid Colours is selling portable wares like canvas bags, keychains and postcards of the various prints/paintings available at the gallery! Since they only just arrived at Yumemigaoka, all the locations are international or from other parts of Japan. (Aleena will do face painting or hand painted 'tattoos' for kids, teens, or the daring adult and has a small table set up with a catalogue or 'surprise me!' option for it)

      The Yumemigaoka Cultural Museum has their usual setup! As well as a truncated version of their installation explaining the Dream Sphere and its history, they've set up several dioramas of places in the Dream Sphere, recreated in miniature! There's some moving elements like miniature Torments bobbing around here and there and some cute interactive gimmicks, like a button that will raise and lower the water level in the miniature Vale of Sorrow or a switch to make the volcano in mini Fury Peak go kaboom!

      ⧖ Finally, a soundstage has been set up just a little ways away from the rest of the stalls with plenty of sitting room for the audience. Dreamer Ai-Doll will be performing a small set of songs partway through the day and the rest of its time will be dedicated to hosting a Q&A panel of a rotating list of volunteers to answer questions about life as a Dreamer or day to day goings on at the DU. Please be aware that both Angelica AND Chloe will kill you if you post cringe on main so be on your best behaviour!

    There's lots to do and plenty of time to do it in - the event runs from 10AM and starts wrapping at around 4:30PM so everyone's got time to head home for work the next day. Dreamers will be able to attend the afterparty in the Dream Sphere if they'd like to but for the most part, that's this year's event wrapped up!

[Ango is currently losing the trivia contest, despite being a DU employee for the past year.]

Ha, I know that one! Ai loves bunnies!

[Or at least rabbits were her mascot animal during her B-Komachi days... but it seems like she's stuck with the rabbit motif in the years since, so she must like them, right?

Maki's next question earns little more than a confused grimace, though.]


Uh... I dunno, is that in the employee handbook? I swear I'm actually gonna read that one of these days.
saynotobugs: Melancholy look. (sigh)

[personal profile] saynotobugs 2024-05-11 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[The biggest sigh, Ango.]

It's not required, just highly encouraged for efficiency's sake. Unlike reading the employee handbook, which is required.
darknesshotpot: (wink)

Haha, I kinda zoned out during new Dreamer orientation, but I guess that does make sense... but wait, there's more to making a Unit than just efficiency and getting the right balance of powers, right?

[For a moment, it looks like Ango might say something meaningful about friendship or trust...]

Me and Misfire make a pretty good team, and I bet I could bully Keiwa into getting on board, but we're lacking the most important thing... a cute girl!
saynotobugs: Depressed. (well...)

[personal profile] saynotobugs 2024-05-14 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't tell me you're going recruiting. How's that going for you?
darknesshotpot: (facepalm)

[personal profile] darknesshotpot 2024-05-15 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, not so well, actually...

It's a shame that you aren't a Dreamer, Maki-chan - you could join our crew. Maybe you're too well-adjusted? You've gotta really let yourself wallow to unlock your true power.
saynotobugs: Disgruntled. (stop that)

[personal profile] saynotobugs 2024-05-15 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Is that why everyone at our office is a dysfunctional mess?
darknesshotpot: (brilliant plan)

[personal profile] darknesshotpot 2024-05-19 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's my theory! If dysfunction is the source of our powers, then I'm basically unstoppable.
saynotobugs: Smiling. (yeah i guess so)

[personal profile] saynotobugs 2024-05-20 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Says the guy who got essentially kidnapped half a year ago.
darknesshotpot: (chibi scheming)

[personal profile] darknesshotpot 2024-05-22 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, I'm not that easy to get rid of!

...It does kinda seem like Disturbances are just gonna be a thing every couple of months, though. That's uh, probably not good?

On the other hand... overtime pay is overtime pay.
saynotobugs: Slightly judging. (riiight)

[personal profile] saynotobugs 2024-05-22 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.. Whatever's causing this, it kicked up when the Crimson investigation finally got somewhere. Whether it's really her, and why she'd do all this... I know it's above my pay grade, but you gotta wonder.
