Phrasing! Eliza thought at what she was sure was the unintentional double-entendre of Lycia’s greeting.

She decided to keep her amusement to herself however, there were far more interesting things to the club princess. Like the fact that she was looking more around Eliza than right at her. Or that she hadn’t reacted to her wardrobe change. That usually got at least an eyebrow raise. Maybe she couldn’t see well? Eliza wonder what the story was behind that, if any.

“Yeah, I heard about the nap club and I was like: This is genius, and I want in!” she giggled. “I’m just sore that I didn’t think of it myself!”

The was room quickly filling up with other club members, and the subject f the dreams came up. “Oh, yeah!!” she said, clapping her hands together once. “I was wondering about this whole dream business. How does that work?”

Whistling softly to himself, Noel Sinterklaas was in high spirits. It was his month. The winter solstice was on the horizon and that meant Christmas, his favorite time of the year, was barrelling down upon them.

Dressed in a very Christmasy red and green striped sweater, the jolly old God of the Winter Solstice and Starlight's Ancient Mythology teacher, stuck his head into the classroom where the members of Club Z were meeting that afternoon.

"Good afternoon, Zappy Nappers," he greeted the room as his warm and friendly gaze swept the room and each of its participants before it finally settled on the president or princess, Lycia.

"I see everybody is ready to settle in for a serendipitous siesta," he remarked approvingly. "Is there anything you require before you begin, Miss Corus?" Noel asked as he stood in the door well.

Caramel wasn't really paying enough attention to any of the other people to figure out what they were saying. And even if they had been able to hear, they probably wouldn't have thought to respond anyway. What they did pick up was that the cups were apparently not food, but some lovely person had brought cookies.

No sooner had the snacks been set out than Caramel was "zooming" in a slow crawl towards them. Fortunately the room wasn't very big, so they didn't have far to go. After reaching the food, she finally stretched herself out enough to stand up and take a couple things before sitting back down.

Licking one of the cookies, Caramel decided to watch and see if anything else interesting would happen.

Lycia's smile returned to her face as Zeke revealed they had brought snacks for everyone and the room continued to fill with friends and people new to the club. With the crisis averted she gladly plopped back down onto the edge of one of the mats and turned her blind gaze across the room. It seemed like most of the people who were coming had arrived.

She greeted each person as she became aware of them, with slight delays for those harder to detect with only sound and soul sight. Mr. Sinterklaas' antics of course elicited a series of giggles from the bubbly princess. "No, I think we have all the things now. Anyone who wants to also go to the Dream world can take a red cup and put water in it. If you sleep with it near you there will be a door in your dreams with my face on it, I think. I have not seen it from that side." She giggled- clearly she didn't have the option to go to the Dream or not herself.

"If you just want to sleep that will be ok too. I can make people fall asleep."

"And if anyone here has any problems with nightmares I can help with that," she'd say with a smile. "I'm half dream being, so I can visit and improve dreams," she liked the idea of helping people, seemed like a good use of her abilities.

"You should explain how the dream world works," she'd suggest to Lycia, giving the girl's hand a gentle squeeze and slipping a cookie into it. "Good amount of people here, I'm happy so many came."

She'd smile welcoming at everyone.

"Alrightie, Miss Corus," Noel Sinterklaas grinned at the princess's cheerful reassurance that they'd be fine. "I will take my leave then and let you and your assembly of slumberland seekers prepare yourselves for a restorative adventure in dreamland," Noel remarked amicably.

"I am just going to shut the door and place a "Do Not Disturb" on it," the god informed the group as he closed the door tighty so the group would not be disturbed during their nap.

Lycia grinned in Mr. Sinterklaas' direction and returned her attention to the club members arrayed around the room. "Oh, yes," she chirped in between nibbles at the cookie that mysteriously appeared in her hand. A few crumbs falling unnoticed by her. "If you come to the Dream then you get to pick how you look and if people will remember you being there. And you can not be hurt seriously there- you will not be hurt for real at all. The dreamy people like me and Zeke can change things easier but it gets made by what all the dreamers want or think like a normal dream but better."

She paused to think if there was anything else to share. "Is there a thing that I did not answer?" She wasn't the best at planning and forethought.

Orsick hung back a bit as everyone got themselves situated and listened to the general explanation of the dream. He gave Mr. Sinterklaas a friendly wave when he came in. He only really had one question by the time Lycia finished but he was definitely excited to try out this dream stuff he'd heard so much about.

"Do we have any particular plans while we're in the dream? Like where we're going or are we figuring that when we get there?"

"Wait wait wait wait a second please! I'd like to join the club!" A boy with white hair and a flustered expression rushed in, panicked eyes scanning the room as he burst through the door and ignored the do not disturb sign in his desperation. Hopefully he didn't hit anyone with it. "I saw the signup sheet and forgot all about today's meeting... I ran all the way back from my place..." He explained. It was times like this that Yuki thanked his increased speed and stamina. Looked like they hadn't begun napping yet, which was good... "So sorry I'm late..." He smiled apologetically, hoping that it'd gain him a few points and maybe get him forgiven. Just maybe. He badly wanted to be a part of this - it sounded like a less dangerous but just as fun version of Sword Art Online.

Except not online. And no extra equipment required.

"Oh, my name is Yuki Hayashi, by the way... Er, nice to meet you all..." He nodded politely, rubbing the back of his neck. He was glad he hadn't interrupted them already sleeping - he really hoped he would be let in...

Lycia opened her mouth to answer Orsick but was interrupted by the abrupt, and very noisy, entrance. So much so that she flinched and nearly fell over backwards.

Grabbing hold of whatever she could reach Lycia steadied herself a little before responding. "Oh. That was like a storm giant crashing in," she giggled a little. "I am Princess Lycia. It is pleasant to have met you. We are just about to go to sleep. I think there are empty mats still."

She shook her head a little and then turned back to where she was pretty sure Orsick's voice had come from before. "It is hard to plan for the Dream. It is always changing. But maybe I can show you all the Natau if I try hard. They are big and soft and cute." She grinned wildly but innocently.
