Dream and Story
Dream #5
It played out kind of like a video game. I was the white rabbit (The Disney one) flying through the rings on the second flying level in the first Spyro game. I made it through most of the level and got to the part where you go into that little alcove to get the chests. I came out and was going to get the lighthouses (it occurs to me now that the level is a combination of the first and second flying level). Suddenly I land on this grassy area (kind of like you see in the third game) and find a doorway.
On the other side of the door is this massive "toy" level. This time I have no idea what exactly I am because I'm presumably fighting the boss which is a cross between the white rabbit and the Cheshire cat, but he's dressed like Toasty (the sheep on the stilts whose dressed kinda like the Grim Reaper with a pumpkin head).
We climb up and around these massive alphabet blocks - he's trying to decapitate me and I'm just trying to escape (not the way to win - you have to be on the offensive. Defensive just prolongs the battle). I make it to the top, look down and that's where the dream ends.
I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with "The Children of Glasgow Manner". I'm putting the setting stuff in Latin because... well... it's easy and I know my Roman history. That sounds like a super cheap/cheesy reason but whatever.
The first character is the oldest sister Mirabelle. She's in the middle of her studies at the University at Urlaco (a portmanteau of "Urbs" and "Laco" which translates as "city by the lake"). Her research subject is runes which is pretty heavily debated. Detractors are demanding hard evidence.
Emile and Dresden come to here a lecture she's giving on her research. They're impressed and they offer her a chance to prove her theories. Rune study is extremely expensive resource-wise and they offer her anything she wants if she can make them the perfect child.
I'm still a little tied over that last bit but that's the basic framework.
