an obelisk appears: it's made of swirling green fluffy, very soft and huggable, and gives off a comforting warmth when embraced. that was, until it was squeezed a little too hard one day and a solid iron core poked through and scraped a kid's elbow. now it's a deflated and ignored mess.

TONIGHT'S DREAMSCAPE: Standing atop a mesa, viewing a field of cerulean pillars stretching to the horizon all droning in atonal discordance while around them, children play hide-and-seek. You think you see your younger self there but can never quite tell from this distance.

One of the few things most realities have in common is the feeling of déjà vu in sentient creatures, whether they are hallucinations, produced by the brain, created by higher powers, or a symptom of reality twisting around itself.

an obelisk appears: it's just a plain stone pillar, only a few feet high. nothing unusual or eerie here. just an extremely normal, stock-standard hunk of carved stone. please continue with your day and pay it no mind. it was barely worth mentioning, really, so don't think about it any more.

The Mangrove Man-o-War was technically a warship, but acted more as a druidic ship crafted to enforce wildlife preservation. It's hull was intertwined tree roots with wind catching their branches and leaves. Even in polar regions, the craft's flowers remained in bloom and trees bore fruit.
