“What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere.”
The event transpired that day was insignificant. It took the span of a couple minutes to most. Others perceived it as longer, and a very selective few will claim it took hundreds upon hundreds of years. It’s all irrelevant in the end anyways. The world went on, not even knowing what happened on the flight. The story doesn’t end there, though.
These people weren’t the only people who had this technology. This experimental military technology had been leaked to others, people in far away lands seeking to make gains themselves. What we saw was merely an act of a grander play. A small wave in the impossibly giant ocean. There is so much untapped potential in dreams, and we’ve only scratched the surface of what is a vast frontier. From the question of morality and how ethical this practice is, to the reasons by which they use the method, humans often reveal their complexities and true natures once they are exposed. A desire is awoken, and a lust to delve deeper is fueled.
We build marvelous creations. We challenge traditional beliefs. We become powerful gods.
But at the same time, a price must be paid.
They become terribly evil. They become horribly simple. They regress into primitive savages.
Listen carefully. You must follow three rules. Do not let others touch your totem. Do not rebuild anything from your memories. And lastly,

Huh, that was weird. Transmission cut out a bit there. Now’s a good time to end this then any. Remember, don’t tell anyone. I have my ways to dispose of those who do. I know you won’t, though. I wish you sweet and safe dreams.

No magic at all.
Modern
Combat is expected as part of the storyline but it won't dominate the plot.
Details: Freeform, paragraphs required, long-term RP partner preferred.
Ooh this sounds interesting. I defiantly want to join.
Awesome~!
Bump.
If nobody replies to this soon, I'll start the roleplay preemptively and see if we get any more takers, is that alright by you?
