Player:jade Character: Somnus Idea: So. Somnus was concerned with all the current research focusing on achieving permanent residency, and although he even volunteered his "I'm dead" circumstance for the cause, he did so with some contingencies here. He isn't against people finding their own permanence in Song. He's more concerned about the lack of research into finding a permanent way home, or more importantly to him, permanently severing a world from its connection to Song and other worlds. He wants to do some investigation on his own.
Because his view regarding this isn't popular by far, right now he's wanting to find and speak with those who aren't keen on the whole "permanent residency" thing, or at least find information to see if severing a world's connection to others is even feasible. So: 1. Are there any NPCs who actually don't want the PCs to be permanent? Such as fae, dragons, or, heck, even Observatory scientists who are simply interested in exploring an alternative? Like if they've ever considered cutting off a dangerous world from the rest? 2. And would they help Somnus in any way? Such as pointing him in a direction of an item, ruins, book, spell, the wishing well, the use of baubles, etc? Or overlapping with the fetchquests and locations of interest as listed here in the permanent residency plot? Or if permanence has to do with utilizing both nightmare and dream energy, developing a device to make a total lack of it is necessary to go home/cut a world off (and would it be called an alarm clock)?
I want to make it clear that Somnus himself doesn't want to or intend to sabotage the permanent residency-hopefuls in any way-- at least, not that I can foresee, unless y'all want to plot something specific in terms of what info he potentially finds to generate conflict for a certain month. Mostly, he wants this research to happen simultaneously so there is the option to go home permanently and cut his world off.
Also, I know that any research in regards to "hey cut my world off permanently plz" will fail because, lol, of course oocly I want all the castmates!!, but this is for sure an IC thing that Somnus would do in order (in his mind) to protect his world. He'd still want to try this even if I oocly know it'd fail. I'm happy to have him experience consequences too ofc.
Date: probably in the same timeline of the permanent residency plot. Questions: see above!
But yes, all this is fine and contrasting views are a good thing! No issues with that whatsoever. TBH we could probably manage something with this like a partial closing or try to configure a way to limit what is transferred between worlds (that is of course not 100% workable to allow some random inserts, but not like an open gate like it is right now). So that's also an option that could be done!
