Dreamscape + aftermath plotting
While I orginally was going to spare Mina the anguish of having her mental landscape played out for all to see, I have decided it would set up something I have been wanting to do with her for awhile once the event was over. The post will be split in two parts, one for the dream scape and one for the fall out for the week after.
I. Dream Scape
Mina's mental world will be a reflection of the general shape of her life, complicated, labyrinthine, and ever twisting in every direction. It's overall motif resembles a 12th century Romanian castle similar to the one she lived in before the Vampire community was fractured by in-fighting. The hub of the world would be the castles foyer, with many, many doors leading off from each side leading to various memories and ideas. Being she is over 700 years old there are quite a few of these doors and passage ways. The more ornate doors lead to her precious memories, those of her mother and father, her friends, and one marked with a heart contains what appear to be shrines to Akira and Horst, the two people , outside her family, who have had the biggest impact on her life. The darker, almost Gothic, door ways contain memories of the low-lights of her life, including her parent's death, the humiliating things the three clan leaders have put her through, and her fear of loosing everyone she loves.
Mina, or her inner reflection at least, sits upon a throne buried deep within the network of doors and passage ways. And alternatively appears as a confident adult or a weeping child. Forms representative of her public and private selves. How she reacts to trespassers in this world largely depends on whom they are, with friends being welcomed and those she harbors ill feelings for finding themselves thrown back into the dark maze the makes up the realms out layers.
II. The Sleep of Death
After the last month taking a huge toll on Mina emotionally and mentally, she will be falling into what amounts to a coma after the above event. This condition, known as the Sleep of Death, befalls vampires from Mina's world who are forced to overexert themselves in some manner over a short period of time. For all intents and purposes Mina will appear to be dead until awakening roughly 3-5 days later. There will be no sign she is in fact not deceased, aside from the fact that her mind still works, so anyone with psychic powers maybe able to sense her brainwave activity.
Any plotting for either of these would be great and I'm looking forward to doing more with Mina soon ^_^
