{ regain wishing well }


REGAIN WISHING WELLAt the end of every large event, characters are rewarded a bauble within the first week. It is found next to their pillow with a note that reads, "Thank you for your help! Throw this into the Wishing Well to receive a special item from home. Just imagine the item and it will appear. (watch out for the glitter) Can also be used at the Observatory or gifted to others!" As briefly described, this bauble is basically the game's "regain token." With this item, characters can throw it into the Wishing Well and receive the item they think about. All regains are manifestations of the item rather than the original and are affected by the game's limitations so nerfs may need to be applied. Here are the following ways the bauble can be used:

  1. Personal item. It can be either from their original world or from the previous game world if they are CRAU. Animals and other living things are allowed, just in this case they would be the "dream self" version and follow our pet/sidekick rules. Any item that had specific abilities from the CRAU world will be removed, but it's likely that a version of it that fits within the game's mechanics (ie, dreamotion) could be recreated by the character or the item depending what it is.

  2. General item. Alternatively, a generic, non-personal item can be pulled from their original world (or previous game for CRAU). The item must be something that is easily obtainable or purchased, and cannot be a version owned by someone else. "Unique" animals that are known companions of some kind can be allowed, but others animals are excluded as they can be brought in more easily through the beastiary submission.

  3. Dream Observatory. Introduced in May, the baubles can be used at the observatory to get a glimpse of home. By using one bauble, people can look through the telescope to catch a glimpse of their world at a certain period of time related to them. It's vague and blurry so it's not the same as a real canon update, but it can give characters a little peace of mind to know they can at least see their home for a minute or so. Alas, it's too quick to let others see it.

  4. Gift a Bauble. Have some extra baubles to spare? By filling out a simple card at the Wishing Well, a character can gift their bauble for someone else to use. All they have to do is write "I, [NAME], gift my bauble to [NAME]" on the card and toss it into the well and with a poof of glitter, the bauble will align itself to its new owner and be used however they see fit. They can even gift it to someone else using the same process if they decide not to use it. When gifting the bauble, the gifter must comment and the receiver must reply so that we have an official record that the gifter no longer has that bauble. Note: in the event the receiving character drops before using the bauble, the bauble will be returned to the gifter.

The bauble does not need to be used immediately and can be used at any time. More baubles will be rewarded in the future and other uses for them will be introduced in the future for those who have nothing to regain, so feel free to stockpile. Players are expected to keep track of their character's baubles.

To use the bauble, just fill out the form and post directly to this entry to submit your character's regain. We'll try and comment within 24 hours for quick approval, but we hold the right to ask questions or even reject a regain submission if we find that it would not work in the game. Players are welcome to ask any questions they have about their item in their submission comment or in the Questions thread. If more than 72 hours have passed and you haven't received a comment, please contact us via PM or through the discord.

Player: Kyo
Character: Bennett
Item: A Wind Glider! It's a glider, allowing one to ride the winds and float through the air. It attaches to the back and looks like a pair of wings, but they can't flap to gain altitude, only glide and slowly descend from higher altitudes.
Questions: nah.

Player: Mari
Character: Anastasia Romanova
Item: A Music Box and the Together in Paris pendant necklace. These were gifts given to her by her paternal grandmother, Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna, on the Romanov Tercentenary ball. The necklace’s pendant is used as a key to operate the music box which contains a picture of a swan and figurines of her parents, Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, dancing a waltz and plays a lullaby-like song. The necklace’s words ‘Together in Paris’ also serve as a promise that Marie had made to her that they would have to live happily in the City of Lights.

While escaping the palace attacks by the Reds, Anya accidentally drops the music box which is later kept by Dmitri (who then returns it to Marie as proof that he was the one who saved her and Anya ten years later) while she keeps the necklace even into her amnesiac years.

Questions: Outside of if the music box can still be able to play music, nothing else, I suppose.

Sounds good! Thank you mods!

Player: Ryoko
Character: Ferran
Item: The onyx, a magical gem like Ferran's garnet. In addition to the usual magical girl-style powerup and weapon, its abilities are charming and healing. The former is identical to the ability of the garnet, described in his app. The healing is capable of working on living and nonliving things, but it is limited to the physical aspects of their forms such as injuries and illnesses, as well as lessening pain or other physical symptoms. However, it cannot restore things like missing limbs or revive someone from death. Given the level of corruption within it, it is particularly dangerous and difficult to use, potentially even painful.
Questions: Nope!

Player: Ellana
Character: Emet-Selch
Item: Grani. A dream version of Emet-Selch's weird monster horse loosely based on Norse mythology. We think Grani is his familiar, maybe. Works like a summon: a snap of his fingers and he can call Grani forth. Capable of bearing a rider and flying, otherwise we mostly see him standing around obediently looking scary and intimidating. A good boy with a face only his creator could love. We fear for the local small animal population if he ever decides he's hungry.

Are characters able to regain theoretical/headcanon items from their world and not necessarily one that existed in canon?

Can they they regain large things that can add to a location such as a tree native from their world (I'm thinking a paopu tree from Kingdom Hearts)?

Images #1 and #3 contain End of Dragons spoilers.

Observatory Vision 1:
Question: What has become of the Pact?
Vision: A tower, sitting amidst a sea of green, crumbling into the sky. A writhing darkness swirls atop this tower, and Pact airships circle at a safe distance around it. What does this mean? He has no idea, except the Pact is still functional, to some capacity.

Observatory Vision 2:
Question: And of Caladbolg?
Vision: The sword in a smaller, slightly different form, sitting atop the Artesian Waters in Orr. Perhaps it means the sword was repaired?

Observatory Vision 3:
Question: The Commander?
Vision: ...? He's alive, at least?

Questions: If last one is not vague enough I can use the ending shot from S4 with the rainbows.
