#the six Veldigun I’m using for this will also likely be the six concepts I came up with in that earlier post

Thinking About A DOAI AU

This’ll probably be a Tumblr-exclusive thing and not something I’m gonna put on AO3, at least not until the main series ends, but just bear with me and this concept:

It’s called DoaI: Oneiric Observation, and instead of taking place in a small town in Canada, it takes place in a small town in the US, in the modern-ish day. The Veldigun phenomenon is also happening here, though for unknown reasons, and these ones are, for the most part, completely unrelated to the ones in Eastridge.

For this small town, there is no equivalent to the Lankmann Foundation to be able to protect them: instead you have the main protagonists, the Oneiric Observers, a group of well-dedicated paranormal enthusiasts that are doing everything in their power to solve the mysteries of the town.

Or at least, that’s what they say.

When I was coming up with the Oneiric Observers, I designed them to be the foils of the Lankmann Foundation. As such, they have to be different to them, but must share similarities as well. The OO and what they’re doing has the potential to be incredibly dangerous: just for different reasons.

In truth, the OO aren’t “professionals” at all: just a bunch of regular people looking to get famous by using a series of tragedies to their advantage. They have no idea what they’re doing, the danger they’re putting themselves in by trying to “solve” these cases, and they don’t take the threat seriously until after the damage is done.

Which is especially deadly, because these six Veldigun are very intent on covering up their tracks. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody’s there to hear it- nobody alive, that is- does it make a sound?

The story of Oneiric Obervation is one about how social media influencers sensationalise crime, destroying people’s privacy and letting known to the world secrets that should have been kept buried.

Like I just said, especially deadly in this case, given how badly the Veldigun can warp and distort people’s minds. If enough information- or, god forbid, footage- of them started popping up online out of nowhere, especially given the fact that it’s likely hopelessly inaccurate, who knows what it could cause?
