Dreaming of Adventure
a phee becomes a conduit.
Permalink Mark Unread

It started with a dream. Or to be more precise a series of dreams.

Permalink Mark Unread

Of pink sands that go on forever.

Of cities built from rose tinted glass.

Of a world where everything short of the sands themselves fuck.

Permalink Mark Unread

Of an ocean that stretches on endlessly in all but one direction.

Of stars whose distant light keep the deepest depths barely lit.

Of a crumbling ancient city.

Of alien artisans who's favorite canvas is the minds and bodies of the other denizens.

Of a vibrant sky, drawn by a phantom child's hand.

Of seas of every kind of fluid that could exist, and several that can't.

Of an ever growing forest, comprised of trees that were just like her before they realized how much better it would be to forevermore settle down in the comfort and safety of the woods.

of an ever growing, all-consuming org-

Permalink Mark Unread

Yeah she's gonna wake up before any "dreams" (nightmares really) like that last one finishes, it's far too disturbing and makes her regret having ever looked at anything within the genre of horror.

Permalink Mark Unread

Of a simple small room carved within a carvern.

with blocks of stone that are trying their best to be furniture, even if the best they can do at the moment is just being suggestively rectangular.

Of a place which despite how bare it is, she knows to be safety/privacy/home.

And of the great and terrible and vast and wonderful orb she was born on.

Permalink Mark Unread

At first she didn't think much of them, beyond (mostly) pleasant surprise at how much clearer and longer lasting her memory of them is when she awakens.

After all they were just dreams, right?

Permalink Mark Unread

And then the powers started coming in.

Permalink Mark Unread

Her improving ability to figure out and remember the meaning of words used often in the various subbed anime she watches is weird but not blatantly supernaturally.

Permalink Mark Unread

Noticing that she can now control her fertility would require that she ever have sex in the first place.

Permalink Mark Unread

Similarly so for water breathing and swimming.

Permalink Mark Unread

All the other powers she's slowly gaining from her deepening connection to the desert of hornyness would require her to visit it to use, and so go unremarked upon.

Permalink Mark Unread

Her skin clearing up of old callouses, acne scars, the hairy growths caused by puberty, and every other kind of blemish she chalks up to estrogen.

Similarly so for how much prettier her face looks when something finally prompts her to look at it.

And all her body fat moving to her tits and other places it'd actually be appreciated must also obviously be from the estrogen.

And noticing that she can now survive off sunlight would require that she not be more of a sun-fearing shut in than an agoraphobic vampire.

Through union with the body of Carnation, you gain rapid healing and a nearly invulnerable immune system, your body tracelessly devouring any parasite or microbe that dares to enter uninvited. Your digestion is also streamlined, meaning you require very little food and produce no waste.

So this is only on a metatextual level because I don't know in character what the sources for the various powers are but:
I take back every bad thing i ever thought about you, and you were completely worth connecting to.

Permalink Mark Unread

:)

Permalink Mark Unread

I'm still never gonna actually visit you once I finally figure out how to plane shift though.

Permalink Mark Unread

:(

Oh would you look at that, the fourth wall is almost done being reconstructed, we'll need to put this conversation on hold for now, thanksagainmynewbestfriend!

Being able to survive on much less food is something she initially just assumes was always true and that she's only noticing now because brains are weird and her's just decided to feel hungry less often for some reason.

No longer ever needing to use the bathroom however is the kind of mildly blatant supernaturalness that even she can't miss and finally prompts her to wonder and self introspect on whether she has any other pow-

Permalink Mark Unread

worlds spinning endlessly through the void-

her soul gradually growing closer and intertwining with many worlds-

the connection leading the way to the nearest points they intersect-

Permalink Mark Unread

that way to sands-

Permalink Mark Unread

this way to trees-

Permalink Mark Unread

over there an ocean-

Permalink Mark Unread

thataway to flesh-

Permalink Mark Unread

and inwards her own private world-

Permalink Mark Unread

gradually navigating her way cross the intersection, sending her entire body across to travel between worlds, or just a portion of her soul to glimpse what's ahead-

Permalink Mark Unread

Swimming through the depths without any need of external tools-

forming a shifting tapestry of colors across her skin to establish communication when she comes across a local-

Permalink Mark Unread

Learning over the course of days to communicate with the new people she meets-

Permalink Mark Unread

Surviving off nothing more then-

Permalink Mark Unread

The light of the stars-

Permalink Mark Unread

and turns off the introspection button, that's too much introspection, put some back, she can barely remember the details of one vision, let alone all of them. She'll need to get a notebook (well notepad app more likely) to keep track of this stuff.


After getting a new notepad set up and engaging in careful bursts of introspection, she's now determined that the superpowers she has now (assuming this isn't all just a very detailed hallucination) are :

* Having some kind of connection to various worlds. (Earth, her own pocket dimension?, deserty place, foresty place, lovecraftian ocean, fleshworld)

* Water breathing.

* Improved swimming.

* Improved language learning.

Plant surviving off sunlight.

* Prettierness.

* Finding not-quite-portals-to-other-worlds.

* Crossing the aforementioned portaloids.

* Partially crossing them to see what's on the other side without bringing her body over.

* Some kind of shapeshifty power that requires visiting desert world.

* Two different desert dependent powers involving water.

* Infertility.

* [Author's note : Several of her other powers are missing from this list because Introspection is not a class skill for Phees.]

And ignoring for now the ones that would require being in another world(!!!) to use, the easiest ones to verify would seem to be water-breathing (She doesn't want to dunk her head in the water, so leaving that for another time.) , travelling to other worlds, looking at other worlds, and finding access points to them.

So to start with she's going to try entering her own personal pocket dimension!

Plane Shifting is apparently much harder and more time consuming then Pathfinder had led her to believe.

After an embarrassingly long amount of time, she finally finds her point of view in another world! or at least a surprisingly room shaped cavern.

Permalink Mark Unread

And then she notices she can't see her body as she looks around the stone room, so back to trying to worldhop again It was totally intentionally that she did the scrying first, it was just practice is all, so now she'll be attempting the next level of exercise and attempt to plane shift fully this time.

After confirming that her body arrived in her pocket cavern and not just her point of view this time, she'll hop back to Earth, and start preparing for her first proper visit to another world!

Or at least deciding which world to explore first (Desert because she has several powers that need it to function) , grabbing several bottles so she at least won't need to drink her water directly off the ground and a backpack to carry them in. And then using her intersection sense to find the nearest the not-quite-a-portal to the desert!
