All of us dream. We all go to different places, different worlds, when we dream. But imagine if there was a world in the realm of dreams that you could exit and enter at will? Every time you drift off into sleep, you could choose to let your mind roam wild, or go to this dream-world? This simple little world that is nothing more than a small forest and a large, never-ending mansion on a hill, the entirety surrounded by sheer cliffs and a dome of unbreakable glass.
If your answer is "yes", then this is the dream-world for you...

Personality: Kind, friendly, loving, and playful. She easy to click with and loves to make new friends.
Magical powers(if any): The tattoos on her back can become real wings and she can fly. The senses of a cat: Exceptional hearing, sense of smell, and agility. She can heal little cuts and bruises.

Mirin lay sprawled over a swinging bench on the porch of the mansion, humming tunes that just came to her head. The sir was sweet an warm, despite the fiery leaves on the trees. It was autumn in appearance and spring in feel. It was nice.
There was no one in the mansion now. There hadn't been anyone in the mansion in a long time. But night would soon come to the world of the waking and they would drift off into sleep. Some of them might find the mansion, others may not. But she would not be alone for too long. She never was.

Rin sat up. Something was wrong. He felt a pain across his chest.

Was this a dream? Or was this... real?

The blinding light overpowered him and he closed his eyes once again, bringing his arm up to shield his face. he felt something swish against it, soft as a light breeze, yet it felt like a whisper. He could somehow feel the light dissapear, and then there he was.

It was an autmn day. Rin was certain he was dreaming. He stood, again feeling pain. He realized it was weight. What was going on? He felt so much taller. Rin looked down at himself, and his eyes widened.

A strange moss covered his toned body, and his hair was a deep chestnut brown. His feet were stumps, elegant stumps, if that is possible, and he caught a glimpse of something glittering behind his back. He turned quickly, and caught another glimpse. Wings!

The breeze blew an unfamiliar piece of hair into his eyes, and Rin reached up to push it away. Then he felt it. Hay! A nest! There was a bird's nest in his hair! And his ears! They were pointed! Rin felt dizzy.

Was this a dream? It certainly did not feel like one.

He studied his surroundings, but all he could see was a mansion. He noticed a girl swaying on a porch swing, looking knowingly into the distance. he took a heavy step towards her, then the weight was lifted. He heard a humming, felt a beating against his back. He was flying! Carefully, slowly, he willed himself towards the girl.

|| How do you change the title of the roleplay? ||

Mirin was still on the porch swing when a new scent entered her nose. It smelled of the earth, nature. But there some something about it, something new and different. "Someone new..." she said calmly. Finally.
She stretched her legs before sitting up and stretching her arms. She rubbed her eyes and looked towards the scent. The creature unsurely flying towards her was like nothing she had ever seen before. He was covered in moss and a nest rested on his head. Mirin cocked her head to one side and switched her tail. That was different.
"Hello!" she called to the new-comer in a friendly voice, waving her hand, "Welcome!"

((I edit the first post and go to advanced edit and it has where the title is and I can edit it. Why?))

Rin frowned, his brow furrowing. "I..." He paused, slowing his already snail-like pace. "What is this?" He said, motioning his arms around him. A musky smell filled the air. He concentrated and landed, his stumps feeling uncomfortable.

He looked at the girl, who appeared to be half-cat. She was quite beautiful, Rin had to admit.

"Is... is this a dream?" He asked in the same inquisitive tone.

|| Just to let you know, one of the Roleplay Forum rules is that you have to quote the profiles of others by placing quote tags ( [QUOTE=dear pacific day ] [/QUOTE ] ). Also, how do you edit the name of a roleplay? I recently made one I can't seem to figure it out... ||

Mirin giggled at the boy, "This place," she motioned around her, "Is the never-ending mansion and surrounding forests." she said leaning back into the swing. "And yes: This is a dream." she said with a wide smile, "I'm Mirin. Yourself?" she asked, holding out her hand.

((Oh, thanks :3 And like I said in my previous post, go to the first post in your thread. Press the "Edit" button. Then, once in edit mode, press the "Go Advanced" button. Then you will be in advanced mode and up above the post itself is the title and you can edit it as you wish :yes:))

Rin sighed in relief, taking a few steps towards the girl. If this was a dream, it was a very realistic one.

"My name is Rin," he said calmly, before finding himself floating again. He hovered over the chair before sitting on it, beside Mirin.

"It's very nice to meet you," he added with a smile.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hurry up," moaned Anthony.

"Shut up, Garner, I'm almost there!" retorted the orange haired woman crouched in front of the door.

The door clicked, and the pair smiled as they swung it open silently. Anthony snickered as he stepped into the apartment. "This is gonna be so sweet..."

|| Thank you, and no problem. c: ||

((Sorry for taking so long :sweat:))

Mirin smiled cheerfully at Rin, "The pleasure is all mine." she said, swinging the porch swing.
"So," she breathed in the sweet air, "How do you like your dream form? It seem s very new to you." she asked, casting Rin a sideways smile.

A frown spread across Rin's face. "Dream form?" He paused. "I dreeam often, but I'm usually in regular clothes. I wouldn't say this is an outfit set in stone...

He gazed off into the trees as they sashayed in the light breeze.

"I'm not sure. It's very new." He took a deep breath, turning to face Mirin directly. "What makes you the expert on dreams?" He asked with a hint of sarcasm.

---------------------------------------------

Della and Anthony tip-toed through the familiar apartment and into the master bedroom.

"Oh, man, he's out!" Anthony whisper-yelled. Della chuckled.

"Get ready. I'll stay and watch."

emilie was in her room her bed all full of plush and pink things when the lights went out and she fell fast asleep 'please be a good dream' she thought as she drifted off.

when she awoke she was in what looked to be a jungle "what the heck were am i." she got up and relised she was actually looking up at a blade of grass "oh holy cow im small how did that happen." she began to painic if grass was this big then bugs would be huge and not just bugs but spiders "ahhhh spiders." she let off a huge scream and started to run as fast as she could when suddenly as she was running she got higher and higher was she being carried by something "oh this is getting weirder and weirder." she began to look up when she saw something flutter behind her were thoes wings she saw "oh now thats cool." she slowly learned to control her flying thinking up ment going up thinking down ment doing just that so she was getting better. she saw something that looked huge compared to her and it was moving ((thats rin)) she flew closer to inspect it and found that it had not noticed her so she got right ontop of its head good thing to their was a nest their were she could lay down and look down at the now two things one even had a tail "oh this is just getting weirder."

Mirin laughed at Rin's sarcasatic-ish question, "I've been here for a very, very long time." she said with and dreamy sigh, "I've met hundreds of people who come here, don't know what's going on, wake up, are confused, go back to sleep, come back. It's simple. " she explained. As she did, a new scent came to her nose. It was a very faint smell, and slowly came closer, and finally stopped moving at Rin's head.
"Why hello there," she said with a smile, looking up to the little fairy in Rin's hair.

Rin raised an eyebrow. "What... so you mean this isn't like any other dream?" he didn't notice the fairy perched delicately on his head.

---------------------------------------

Garner re-entered the room. "Ready when you are."
Della smiled, and approached the sleeping man, a big bucket in her hand. She raised it above his head...

Mirin shook her head, "No. This dream is a dream you completely control. You can choose this dream, or what your mind would otherwise wander off too. The surrounding forest is more or less unchangeable, but this mansion," she gestured to the old house behind her, "It can become anything you want it to become on the inside." she said with a wide smile.
Mirin then sat up on her knees and held her hand out to the small fairy, "I'm Mirin. Welcome."

Rin opened his mouth to say something. But he felt himself being

pulled away

everything turned bright white

white

and then,

-----------------------------------------------

Della dumped the water on his head.

Rin screamed, the icy water sending chills down his spine.

"Jesus, Dell!" he shouted, glaring at her, and then at Anthony, who was chuckling.

"Happy birthday, Holmes," he said, and Rin smirked.

Mirin watched as Rin faded away. She knew, since he was about to say something to her, that he was woken up against his will. The fairy dropped a couple of inches before Mirin caught her, "Hi," she said with a small smile.

Rin and his friends chatted and drank for a few hours before Della had to go to work and Garner had too as well. Rin sighed happily after they left, and turned to the open canvas. He painted for hours, one of the best he had made. It was three abstract characters celebrating.

The fairy seemed to be a bit shy and disoriented, so Mirin set her down on the small little table on the porch. "I'll get you some food, and you can explore as you please," she said as she got up and opened the mansion door. Mirin only had to reach through the door and onto the little desk-like table by the door to pull out a bowl of fruit.
She placed the bowl next to the fairy, "I'll be out back," she said, waving goodbye and stepping off the porch.

The backyard, was custamised to Mirin liking. White-rose-vines tangled themselves all over the iron gates, bars, and white marble statues. In the center of the rose organized rose-tangle, was a shallow hot-spring. It didn't bubble, but it did stream some. The mini-boulders and rocks of various were all made out of white marble and were slightly slick because of the steam.
Mirin pulled her skirt up over her knees and sat on the largest boulder, putting her feet int he water. She kicked them, watching the ripples and humming the same smooth, calm, slightly random tunes she had been humming before.

emilie was compleatly confused she looked around she just sat down were the cat woman placed her she had been listening to thier conversation 'so this is a dream that would explain a few things but why am i so small' she thought to herself she was going to get up when a bowl of fruit was placed near her she loved grapes and went right for them and with her size one grape was big enough to feed her for a week. she tried to pluck one of the grapes off but it was to heavy for her so she was going to have to wait and ask the nice kitty woman to do it. she looked around everything was so beautiful but why was it like this couldnt it be different if it was a dream and why was she here when she could be with hello kitty in a meddow somewere skipping like her last dream.

"Woah, this is new."

The young man looked past the nearby cliff and at the huge glass dome beyond it. It shined in the strange sunlight, many colors seemed to appear on its iridescent surface as he neared the edge of the cliff. "Is that some sort of giant bubble? Am I in a bubble?" he asked himself, unable to grasp the fact that he was staring at a structure of this magnitude with what felt to him like waking eyes. If this was a dream, it felt too lucid.

He knew he had gone to bed just a moment ago. He had just finished a lengthy paper and was beat so he decided to call it a day. He was definitely sure it was night time outside his window before he rolled over in the warmth of his comforter. And yet here he was, standing at the edge of a forest, looking down over a sheer cliff face. He could feel the warmth of the air although the trees wore an autumn shade. He picked up a rock and dropped it into the depths below. The feel of its hard edges and the sound of it bouncing upon the jagged surface of the cliff definitely seemed like he was clearly awake. 'Well, that's a long way down.' he thought, following the small rock with his emerald eyes until it finally stopped on a low ledge by the shadow of a huge boulder. That was that.

Just as the dark haired boy turned around to head back into the forest, the ground below him gave way and he fell along with a small chunk of the cliff. Fear gripped him as he hurdled head first towards the ledge below. Never mind if this was a dream. It just felt too real to think that he would just safely wake up. All he could do was instinctively brace himself for impact, not that it ensured his safety. The falling teen shut his eyes tight. He didn't want to believe that the last thing he saw in life was the large shadow of a rock across the barren surface before him.

However, the feel of smashing into the ground from a great height did not feel right to him. In fact, it felt like he was just thrown from a car and was soon rolling on the grassy earth. He opened his eyes reluctantly, hoping he didn't see his guts splattered all over the place. He was surprised to find he was alive. Alive and whole. Slowly getting to his feet with shaky knees, Hadrian looked around him. Trees surrounded him, he was in the shady forest. Now this was more like a dream. Unexpectedly finding himself in a place different from where he was just a second ago reinforced his conviction that this was definitely not the real world. So just where did he fall to? Or fall out of? His realized he had rolled a few feet to the right of a big old tree. He cautiously approached it, wondering if there was anything to it. But it was just a tree, albeit a big one. A sigh of relief escaped him. "Hadrian, you're probably going insane." he told himself. But as soon as he stepped into its great shadow, he found himself falling again, melting into the cold, soft darkness. A second later, he found himself staring up at a boulder, the same boulder whose shadow he had fallen in. His head was barely above the ground and it seemed that his body was below it, floating in the nothingness of the shadow he was in. The astounded young man quickly pulled himself out and stared at the shadow of the boulder. It didn't look like a hole at all. He could clearly see the solid ground it covered. He stuck his foot into the shadow again, he could see it melt into the shade, practically becoming part of it. It most certainly did not feel like solid ground. Gravity didn't weigh down the leg he had now allowed to descend. "Well, here goes nothing." he said with a smile, melting back into the dark area. He found himself once again in the lonely forest, only this time, he had come out of the shadow of a tree near the first. It looked like he might be able to control where he went as long as he knew where he was going. He still needed practice though, and spent another hour moving about the forest, one nearby shadow at a time. Finally, he found himself staring up at the head of a huge marble statue in the middle of what looked like a rose garden. He looked around without getting out of the statue's shadow. 'Is that a big cat?' he thought, after spotting what seemed like a cat sitting on a large white rock at the edge of a steamy pool.

[Sorry for the huge post :sweat: I couldn't stop thinking...]

emilie looked around till she saw what looked to be a man just pop out of nowere that shocked the crap out of her she hid in the fruit bowl.see kept her eyes on this new person waiting to see if he was going to come near her if he was she was going to have to make a run for it men didnt get her as well as she didnt get them "oh boy im in trouble." she tried one more time for the grape but this time as a weapon more then a food source she got it this time and flew up high that way if he got under her she could just hit him with it and run.

Rin smiled at his finished product. He would put it in next week's art show. He glanced down at his clothes, they only had a bit ofpaint on them. Rin decided to go across the street of the apartment complex to get some ice cream, his own little celebration, She grabbed ten bucks and put it in his back pocket and walked out of his apartment towards the elevator. however, a large "Out Of Order" sign forced him to use the stairs. he took a few steps, but he ws going too fast. He knew something was wrong. he fell forward and tumbled down the stairs. His vision started to get cloudy - he was on the top floor. Just when he thought he would roll to a stop, he fell down the next flight. The pain was excruciating.

And then it all went black.

Rin lay there.
he opened his eyes.
The pain was gone.
He smell was familiar. A woody, musky, mossy smell.
He realized that he was either dead or unconscious.
And dreaming.

All of a sudden, a new and dark scent filled Mirin's nose. She jumped up and, in a crouch, faced the newcomer. Her tail was poofed out and her ears back, but when she say the boy only about her age, Mirin instantly relaxed. Her momentarily hostile appearance melted away and turned in a very friendly expression. "Why hello there," she said, her red eyes becoming wide, innocent, and curious.
In the background, on a soft spring breeze, Rin's scent returned to her nose. That made her even more excited. Cats liked company.

((To MintyRey: That's perfectly okay. Long posts are good. And I'd do them more often if I had the inspiration o.O))

Rin's eyes were wide as he crawled frantically towards Mirin.

"Something ... something just happened to me ..." he babbled, shaking. Something was wrong.
