Just your neighborhood lurker popping in with a plot that I'd really like to do aaaa
Basically, it would be something like this:
Society is in shambles with a new epidemic that, well, causes people to "go to sleep". They are normally in long, coma-like slumbers for months, and eventually their bodies just shut down and finally die. Most are executed beforehand to keep the disease from spreading. However, there is one sort of treatment, only available to those incredibly wealthy. There are several people throughout the world who can enter the dreams of those asleep, and try to convince them to wake up. This isn't an easy task, as the one asleep has absolute control over their dreamworld, like a sort of god. Whatever they want appears in their world, and this includes ways to kill those who have come to wake them. While the wakers can enter and exit the dreamscapes whenever, if the waker is killed by the sleeping, they cannot ever enter again, and the sleeping person is as good as dead.
In short, the RP would focus around several awake and several asleep, and the whole thing would be a twisted game of sorts. Those RPing the asleep get to create the dreamworld, those RPing the awake have to try to convince them to "wake up", a concept that they don't understand in the dreamland. For all they know, the dream is real life. :'D
Would there be any interest in this? :o
