Question; what's colorless, complicated, ruthless and boring? Answer;life.
It's hard to be a sane person nowadays. You come home from school/work, and the first thing you notice is the load of bills stacked up in front of your door. Turning up the TV reveals another catastrophe, another reason for your faith in this world to vanish. If you are unlucky enough to live with another life form in that space you call home, you'll have to deal with their daily ramblings. This, and many other bitter mishaps in the past twelve hours, lead to you contemplating the meaning of life before sleep. The next day, you wake up to repeat the same thing with maybe a couple of minor, unimportant adjustments. During this period of time, the question you ask yourself the most is; how can I make this end? You can do it now.
The solution to all of your problems is a new form of out-of-body experience called 'disconnection'. Disconnection, it's name deriving from the well-known phrase 'disconnected from reality', is a skill that can be activated by tapping into the surface if one's brain. Only a select few of the world's general population can inherit it, but there have been cases of people creative enough to have mastered it in a span of six months or so. The phenomenon was also documented to be especially frequent in individuals of the age 12 to 25. In addition to all of the aforementioned privileges, disconnected people also possess the ability to share the thoughts with other disconnected individuals that fit to their liking. That can be done by coming into physical contact with said person.
How it works: Individuals with the ability to disconnect can't just tap into it whenever and wherever they wish; they need to isolate themselves from the ambiance noise first. Closets are ideal for anyone willing to blast away from their blunt lives. That being said, living rooms, bedrooms and restrooms can be used to disconnect too, as long as there is no outside noise, albeit the process requires more persistence and time than in a closet. Any person who wants to disconnect is also advised to bring a seat in, since exhaustion can interfere with your creativity and cause a little something called overflow
What is Overflow: Overflow is an interference that occurs in rare cases of exhaustion, an outside factor (like noise) or in case of a psychological disorder. During an Overflow, the disconnected person can experience several elements that don't belong in the world he/she has created. This happens because of an outside or inside influence that makes memories, ideas or real life components collide with the respective fantasy setting the disconnected person has created. While physically harmless, the occurrence can make psychological problems severe and add even more concern to already troubled minds, hence the coined term used to describe it - overflow. Overflow may also happen when two disconnected fail to coordinate their thoughts properly.
Are there any limits while disconnected?: While you may be an average person in real life, when disconnected, you basically turn into an omnipotent god. There are only limits if you decide to implement them. Having said that, the scope and the overall density of the fantasy world created does vary in different individuals, some having a lower creativity while some, a higher one.

I'm going for something pretty simple here. My character and yours are somewhat High School friends; not like really close friends, but they're friendly enough to greet each other and perhaps have small talk around. What they don't know about each other is that they're both individuals with the ability to disconnect. Once they find that out, they hang around and participate together in a lot of insane escapades as their friendship continuously evolves. Since I want to give creative freedom to the participant, the name of the city our characters reside in will be left unnamed. You can refer to it as a 'City' or however you wish. Same thing goes for the school too.
Also, both of us will have a turn at developing the fantasy world when disconnected, so we can resolve this in the OOC while we'll find a way for our characters to do so too, maybe in a game of rock-paper-scissors or so.
