The Wishmade Sky event will be primarily Dramastakes, meaning emotions may be high and charactersโ feelings and relationships may be hurt, but there wonโt be much physical danger.
The story posts and posts driving the arc will be dramastakes by default. If you prefer something different such as casual or high stakes, good news! The stakes your character personally engages in will be up to you and the players you write with! You can be casual about it, or you can take it all the way up to high stakes. See the prompts below to see how this will work.
๐ซ The Main Prompts ๐ซ
1. If your character could have any wish granted, what would they wish for?
For the first segment of the arc, exactly this has happened. Under the Wishmade Sky, your character will be able to make a wish and have it granted. This will be the main way to participate, and will be where you the player decide the stakes you would like the event to be. If you would like to play with drama or high stakes, have your character make a wish accordingly. Maybe theyโre finally champion, or they win a fight they once lost, or they revive a loved one.
If youโd like to keep it casual or even silly, make a lighthearted wish! Maybe they wish for unlimited iced coffee!
2. When that wish warps into a nightmare, how does it go wrong?
The wishes granted will only last so long before they begin to distort into nightmarish realities. In the second segment of the arc, how does your characterโs wish go wrong?
Does the loved one they wished back actually despise them now? Are they finally champion, but itโs a pyrrhic victory?
Is the iced coffee they wished for always mostly melted and watery?
3. What has been your characterโs happiest dream or daydream?
In the third segment, to clear the sky the characters will have to soothe a disturbed Jirachi back into its peaceful slumber. Share pleasant dreams with it to stave off the nightmare.
When your character closes their eyes and dreams of something happy, what is it? Theyโll be able to catch glimpses of these dreams just before the nightmare ends and the sky clears.
๐ซ Mechanics ๐ซ
The main feature of the arc will be the Wishmade Sky itself. When the featured legendary, Nightmare Jirachi, is awoken, the sky will turn to a permanent night sky decorated with stars and star shapes (aesthetically, think of a Kirby style night sky).
The arc will be broken into three segments marked by the color of the Wishmade Sky. The first sky will be dark blue, then dark red, then purple. Each segment will be roughly 1 week long in the month of June.
Under the sky, characters will be able to interact with the above prompts regarding wishes. In-universe, the phenomenon will be powerful enough to span across the multiverse, giving anyone who wants to participate the opportunity even if they donโt share a universe with certain characters. And likewise, if you DONโT want to participate, we can just say the Sky didnโt reach that particular part of the multiverse.
The wishes granted will be real under the Sky. However, when the Sky fades at the end of the arc, anything physically brought into existence by it will crumble into stardust. As a result, characters wonโt keep objects they wished for or any people they wished into being. Anything done to the character or the environment by the stardust creations, however, are also real. So if a character were to get into a fight with a stardust figure and receive an injury, they would keep that injury after the Sky fades.
There will also be a minior fall under the sky as minior tumble from the sky and drift about the landscape. If youโd like for your character to find and befriend, maybe even keep one, they can!
Some of these minior will probably be special! Feel free to design a unique minior to commemorate the event! Maybe a jirachi styled minior?

Im in a still rather small Hollow Knight Roleplay server made by @vapourtoast and were always on lookout for new people to join!
The setting for this is placed at the very start of the infection, but characters such as Tiso and/or Cloth have already arrived. That way you can still play your beloved favourite!
You like the ghosts more? Well guess what! They are alive there too!
