Bear tier dream inbound.

The following takes place in Neverwinter.

So until recently I was alone in the campaign, it was about a year I spent with Winter (Ashley) and we did a small campaign, it was really fun.

[Ashley] weeks and no dream about me.

Yeah, so like two days ago Winter died (despawned) for reasons that don't matter to your campaign but Winter was an aspect summon of Ashley's soul while she was in the negative plane just like the souls of the cats always remain in the negative plane.

I was alone after that, traveling back to Neverwinter and happen upon Halcyon (Hali) in this timeline.

Halcyon is a hottie little 14-16 yr-old Avariel elf spellsword, and she's been sent by Gwenneth to help me rescue Summer. She's Princess Gwen's  lady in waiting or something similar.

That's all in-game. Now for the dream.

I am at the royal palace in Neverwinter, nice place, very fancy and big, lots of light, and Ashley is the queen wearing like queen amidala tier gold lace beehive crown/hair, and a high collar Elvis dress, in gold and white, looking like Balenciaga alien but still Ashley. Anyway she's deciding the fate of Hali and I and she decrees we are free from prosecution, for what I don't
know. We're enthused. I'm my age here because I always play my age in game but now Hali is 10 or 11 so it's odd. Anyway we are given a royal suite and this huge gold and white bed so of course now Hali takes off most of her clothes and I'm flipping wearing something like:



She's in frilly panties and like a small cape or something, topless, and she wants to play. So I do the gentlemanly thing and give her a hand.

Got to feel her up and stare at her while manually playing and she loved it of course. Was about it, enjoyed it in dream but when I woke up I was like... wtf man, I'm turning into Yakumo. This is not good.

I'm considering banning all under 18 forms in my system, but I doubt that would affect dreams. Idk.

Hali isn't full systemmate, and we don't consider dreams as counting still just sus.

Of course this isn't the first time I've had dreams like this, sometimes I'm younger though and the girls are usually at least highschool age.

[Ashley] the Bear brain has had every opportunity with me, I was even in this one and at this point I'm bored waiting.

Reverse psychology, let's see if brain falls for it.

Hali looks a little like Julia Butters but cuter, tawney/tan skin, dark hair and eyes with golden eagle wings.

Alice - Cat!
I cannot rest like this! Ashley's summons have taken over the tent and are making noise and bring dirt inside!

As the din of machine and motion climaxed, Yulya couldn't take another moment.

WHAAAT?? YOU EEEDIOTS! GET OUT OF MY TENT YOU DIRTY FLEABAGS!

Every bird within a half mile suddenly flapped away from the thunderous roar of Alice.

Mr. Bigglesworth nope'd out the tent faster than lightning, startling Olga who lost her sense of direction, nearly ripping through the wrong end of the tent before finding her way out.

This is better?

Nixie stares at Alice with barely restrained anger, miraculously not tearing her in half but she either refuses to move or doesn't understand the interruption of her sleep.

FAFO incoming.

Cat is alarmed by the ruckus in the tent and comes to check things out and finds Alice having a meltdown

She sees two scared kittens bolt out the door as Alice's roar is now countered by Nixie's equivalent roar.

Needless to say, Sandra and Sophia are scared half to death by both Alice's outburst and Nixie's counter.

[Mood -2]SANDRA REST[0/8] HP[25/25] AC10 MOOD[0] STAMINA[0]
[Mood -2]SOPHIA REST[0/8] HP[19/19] AC10 MOOD[0] STAMINA[0]

She quickly helps her to direct the mecha-cats out of the tent in a friendly but firm way, just like handling the mules, to avoid her getting bitten to pieces again.

Nyaa calm down Alice Nya they just followed Ashley panther Nya!
You girls still have to stay outside Nya we can't all sleep in the tent and Yulya's gotta rest Nya!

Nixie isn't convinced by even Cat's firm but fair commands, she's angry and not in the mood to be bossed around.

[Nixie may be Ashley's summon, but she's still a wild creature of the negative plane. She's not swayed by Animal handling techniques for domesticated animals.]

All this vocalization finally wakes up Ashley.



The only thing she hears is Nixie when she is so rudely awakened from her slumber. Hearing Nixie complaining, she let's out a howl that would send a demon king to the underwear drawer and pounces on Nixie, dragging her out by the scruff of her neck like a cub. Using unnatural, adrenaline fueled strength, Nixie is dragged outside the firelight, then you hear them brawl for a few seconds before Ashley Panther returns, sticks her head in the tent and growls one last time at Alice for good measure.

Cat prepares a space under the cart near Ashley's clothes and the mules, hoping the cats will spend the night there.

Ashley Panther sees Cat and jumps on top of the cart where her robe and clothes are, finds a comfortable position and beds back down. Nixie shortly follows her up and begins grooming her with her tongue. Olga and Mr. Bigglesworth return to the cart after a few minutes making a large warm pile of fur and metal under the cool night air.

Cat turns to Yulya, slightly worried
Nyaa that's a bit troublesome Nya! Who controls them when Ashley's a Panther Nya? She's too carefree Nya! Do you think the mecha-cats Nya,  they could even attack us Nya? If Alice annoys them or something Nya? I wouldn't wanna have to go against 5 of them Nya...

[They're left to fend for themselves mostly but see her as the alpha female regardless of species and follow her cues, usually to fight with her but otherwise look to her for guidance. They won't ever be more then 3 summons. The other cats have mental cues when Ashley is awake and are left with them when she's asleep or in panther form, so they know who is part of the pack and who isn't. Even if Alice bopped Nixie on the nose, she wouldn't attack Alice but Ashley Panther probably would defend her summons if she was enraged or if something attacked them, but if any of you did, it would be more like a correction bite and not her full bite.]

[Survival Rolls Presuming the order: Alice is up till 0100 on guard duty, Cat from 0100-0300, Yulya from 0300-0500 and wake any of the summons at 5am to be up till 9am, Ashley will likely despawn them when she wakes, I'm adding a requirement that she cannot gain MP while she has spawns active. I want to discourage her from just keeping summons active indefinitely. I'm also considering removing the requirement to rest to replenish MP, that it will just replenish a little each hour.]

[Friday, Spring 21, 02:45, Clear, 10C]

With Cat on guard duty, keeping the fire going, she hears the distinctive snorting of boars looking for food. The fire keeps them at bay and they scatter when she stands to get a better look at them.

[Friday, Spring 21, 07:07, Partly Cloudy, 10C]

Shortly after Dawn, hours after Yulya went back to sleep, Ashley awakens to the sound of a large cart passing on the High Road. Naked but warm, she quickly puts on her clothes and looks to see what they have, she doesn't bother stopping them when she sees all they're selling is Industrial supplies and blacksmithing tools. Realizing Nixie is actively draining her mana regeneration, she pats her on the head and says goodbye, her despawn is otherwise silent, she fluffs away with a puff of heavy purple smoke. Wondering how she ended up in the cart, Olga and Mr.Bigglesworth are just fine to keep her warm, now fully dressed and she tries to sleep some more as Mr. Bigglesworth-Sentry keeps watch.

[Friday, Spring 21, 09:00, Partly Cloudy, 11C]

With the sun rising in the east through light clouds, everyone is finally awake.

Alice has a Ren-tier psychotic meltdown

It happens frequently.
Every day with my tupper is like a Ren&Stimpy episode.
