REGAIN WISHING WELL

At 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.

Yes, it is possible to get the portrait as a regain.

It is a painting of Isabela’s late maternal grandfather Pedro who had died long before she and her sisters and cousins were born and before the events of Encanto. It is one of the two known images of him found in the family house Casita (near the stairways) before the house’s unfortunate destruction. It fate after that moment in her world is still unknown.

[multidisciplinary]

Should I fill out this form if my character has used 3 baubles to voluntarily go home?

[dreamkeepers]

You do not!

[bloomingwisdom]

Player: Sky
Character: Nahida
Item: A potted Viparyas! It's just a flower that can only exist in dreams, no special abilities or anything.
Questions: Since this is a flower than can only exist in dreams, it might be an appropriate flower to grow in Songerein, but they only grew in a specific location in canon. So could they spawn somewhere in small quantities? Any place that is rife with positive emotions and memories would be good.

Would a computer come with all the data that would be on the hard drive of that computer?

Secondary question - would it be possible to figure out how to convert it to run off of Reverein's power grid? (Voltage changes, some kind of magical to energy conversion, etc.?)

[dreamkeepers]

All the data will come with the computer once received from the well.

With power running in Reverein, it is possible to convert it to run off the same time of power from the Dreamotion Plant and Dreammets. More information on these can be found in the Dreamotion Plant area here.

Hello!!! Theoretically, Clive and Jill want to use their baubles on each other as wedding gifts. Jill wants to exchange hers for Ambrosia, and Clive wants to exchange his for the Valisthean equivalent of a snow leopard kitten based on headcanon that Jill had one as a girl. They both want their gifts to be a surprise!

Is the gift-something-the-other-character-owns thing workable re: Ambrosia, assuming both characters are ICly cool with it? And also, I understand the generic animal rule might apply here, but could the kitten gift work with some finagling? Like, maybe if we say that Clive tried to bring the one Jill owned, but it has passed so the well brings in one of its descendants instead?

IF NOT IT'S COOL, we understand it's a bit of a tricky situation.

[dreamkeepers]

Yes, this is doable for both Ambrosia and the snow leopard kitten. Clive will be able to regain the kitten that Jill recalls or have one of its descendants, whichever you two decide is better.
