Event Log: Dreamwalker the Second

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the Dreamwalker part 2 event
Where: In your dreams
When: October 14th-20th (the second log will go up on Oct 23rd, please keep the two weeks of the event separate!)
Warnings: All different kinds of dreams falling under the umbrella of Delight, Rage, Sorrow, and Hope.


This time, the weird stuff doesn't happen when you're awake- as a matter of fact, your waking hours are the normal ones. That's because you're forced to sleep by some unknown entity, getting more and more exhausted by the moment as night falls. Better make sure you're always around a soft pillow.

Once asleep, it doesn't get any less weird- your dreams will be influenced by one of the four gods that make up the first week. Something to make you smile, something to make you angry- or something that reminds you of your deepest regret or most vulnerable hope, they're all things that you're dreaming about now for some reason, no matter how hard you may try to pull away from them.

To make matters more complicated, there are others intruding on your dreams who definitely don't belong there, and while they may seem like manifestations at first, it becomes clear that these others are actually the consciousness of other members of Hadriel, getting some top quality exposure to your angriest, happiest, most sorrowful moments. Hope it doesn't get awkward when you see them tomorrow...

► This log covers October 14th-20th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If you die in dreams you don't die in real life, but if you somehow die in real life anyway, please let us know here.

here for the pain

[what in the world is this dream? Not that Law hasn't dreamt of being shackled with seastone oh about a thousand times, since...that did happen. Thanks for the memory, nightmares. But this is far, far different.

There is absolutely nothing in his subconscious that would have slapped Atem up on a throne looking like the king of Alabasta, nor placed him in such a position over him. So. Time to start wondering.
]

Atem-ya...? What is this, why did you imprison me?
puzzlingly: (☥ 43.)

give me your bad romance, wait nope (phew that was exhausting i'm sorry)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-15 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Atem-ya...? The Pharaoh jerks his head at that name, what... why is that familiar?

Shut up, thief! How dare you address the Pharaoh in such vulgar way, and by his sacred name!

Unfortunately, it only earns the "thief", a rather harsh blow across his face. To which Atem merely observes.

Pharaoh! Allow me to cut his throat! There is no need for you to deal with this scum!

One of the guards readies his knife, awaiting for the King's answer, yet he lifts the thief's head, placing the knife on his throat.

The answer doesn't come right away, the Pharaoh shifts, almost boredly, and says something at the person beside him, at his Vizier.


Stop, the Pharaoh wants to know why he was captured.

The guard releases Law (Law?) and finally one of the people dressed in whites and blues speaks up.

This thief was caught trying to trespass the palace, surely looking to harm you, my Pharaoh, shall he be judged by your Court or would you prefer to get rid of him forever? I could personally do it if you just say the word.

Priest Seto. 「Atem finally raises his voice, sending but a firm stare at the obviously older man, and just like that, the Priest seems to calm down giving him a respectful bow.

As you wish, my King.He turns at the prisoner.You will be judged for your sins, are you ready?
hot_mes: (fuck you)

not as sorry as I was trying to find a Duel Monster for him

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-15 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Trespassing...well, yeah, he kind of was. Who wouldn't when they find themselves rather abruptly walking through a strange palace?

The blow barely fazes Law, he gives his cut lip no regard but keeps his eyes level, watching the exchange before him. Pharaoh? That's a new one. Granted, the kid does look a little different but he'd know that hair anywhere. Obviously the smart thing to do would be to play along until more information is available.

And, hey, definitely not seastone in these chains...

His gray eyes shift to Seto and he almost looks smug for a moment.
]

If you think you're capable of judging me.
puzzlingly: (☥ 21.)

so excited yeaahhhh

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-15 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
HahahahHAHAHA! Don't test us, scum!

Priest Seto doesn't need to say anything else, before he jerks his head at the others. And the show begins. One of them approaches Law with a large golden Ankh, presenting it at him.

I see it, there is certainly an evil monster lurking inside this man.
Of course there is! What would you expect from vermin like this? Prepare the stone slab!

The next comes fort, a rather old man from the bunch, one wearing a fake, golden eye, a rather terrible looking one, by the way. He has but to stare at Law and something starts coming out from him...

Atem shifts in his seat, and the apparent aloofness seems to dissipate, he's obviously interested in what kind of monster this person has. He's never gotten his Ka forced out of his body in such harsh way, he doesn't know if it hurts or not. Does it, Law?



(meanwhile... the high priests at their peak, for your amusement... )

hot_mes: (I hate you)

no I copped out it's a cliche choice

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-15 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Being a dream it isn't exactly pain, but it's a weird and unpleasant sensation, not unlike having his heart pulled out of his chest. Don't ask how he knows how that feels. It's rough enough that he wilts to press his head to the smooth floor, unable to prop himself up with his chained hands.

What wells up out of him is a winged thing, delicate in the features but closer to his true nature than any fiends or dragons. (Or even the Healing Wave Generator.) Is it some kind of dig at his ability or the name of his crew? Or is it a more serious poke at the way he's changed over his lifetime from a death-dealer to a healer?

Either way Law's a little chagrinned at having some kind of angel-thing come out of him - or will be once he's able to catch his breath
]

What...what the hell is that?!
puzzlingly: (☥ 33.)

oh look at that! it okay friend it could be anything! not just ygo stuff but i love it

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-15 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? That's unexpected. Atem doesn't seem disappointed, simply confused. He actually stands and just as he does, everyone in whole room drops in one knee.

Priest Shada, didn't you say he had a monster inside of him?

It looks much more like a spirit to him... Had the Millennium Items failed?

It is what the Millennium Key showed me, Pharaoh, forgive me.That doesn't help much. Atem pads towards Law.

My Pharaoh, please, be careful.The female priest raises her voice, but Atem simply nods and keeps up until he stops in front of the creature.

Who are you, really?

He asks Law, but does not look down at him.
hot_mes: (suspicious)

breaks all the rules! even though there is a Doctor D and I laughed

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-15 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't look at him, Law has no idea what just happened. For all he knows he really is a monster inside, still, and it just hasn't made its appearance yet.

He lifts his head, eyes narrowing at the pharaoh and his composed stance.
]

Captain of the Heart Pirates and Surgeon of Death.

[maybe not the right thing to say but those are the words that come out of his mouth unbidden.]
puzzlingly: (☥ 88.)

ahadsfsdf ohgod

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-15 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Surgeon of Death... Pirate...

Wait, pirate?


Your name.

Atem finally deigns a stare at him, but no, is just that, a mere stare, he doesn't even lower his head for it.
hot_mes: (talking)

my search took me dark places, man

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-15 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Trafalgar Law. [leaving off the 'D' for now, nobody needs that.

He squints past Atem to the cadre of priests, wondering an awful lot. Is this his reality or just some crazy adventure dream? Would that make the robed lot representatives of real people Atem knows? Weird. Tall guy looks like an asshole.
]

I didn't come here to assassinate anyone or anything. I just got lost.
puzzlingly: (☥ 55.)

be careful ygo has some dark places indeed...

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-15 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Please, let us discuss Priest Seto at some moment, dude... It'll be fabulous.

Either way, Atem now looks down, a brief moment of doubt passing by his eyes. He doesn't know, if he's telling the truth, but his Ka is telling.


Pharaoh, he could be lying--

I know, Seto, I know... 「OMG! Can't he give him break even in a dream!? Not that Atem is too aware that he's dreaming yet.

Don't you know where you are? 「This time, Atem speaks just a tad lower.
hot_mes: (suspicious)

how well I know

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-15 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[when he remembers shreds of this dream later, you'd better believe he's going to.]

No idea. Looks like photos I've seen of Alabasta, but I've never been there.

[by the way what's up with this angel thing hovering over him? Law shoots it a wary look, since it was inside him holy shit]
puzzlingly: (☥ 7.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-15 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
You're in Kermet..., in the city of Waset. And you just got lost in my palace for some reason.

Atem seems to study Law for a moment, see if he is lying in some way. He sees nothing. But does notice how he looks up at the spirit.

Help him sit up.

He orders the at the other guards, and they do. Then he looks back at this priests, just giving them a stare, they stand and so the rest of the room, simply awaiting.

This is your Ka. Don't you even know that?

The more he talks to Law, the less menacing the throne room seems, some of the guards that were already in there just blur and others vanish, he doesn't have the attention span to keep them there, Law being his focus now.
hot_mes: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-15 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[silently nods his thanks at the assistance, even if the guards are still a little rough. That, at least, he expects.]

No. Are you sure it's not a monster? It sort of looks like one, to me.

[totally judging the bat-wing half]
puzzlingly: (☥ 4.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-15 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, he wants to see a monster? Atem smirks.

Seto, show him a real monster.

The bossy priest hurries to raise the rod he's holding (it has that same eye design showing in it as in most of the golden items they are all carrying). He recites some words and in a lightning of blinding light the creature arrives under Seto's command.

Atem doesn't say a word, expecting Law to do so first.

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-16 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[oh. well. yep, that's a monster all right. Also, gross. Law is rather glad that something like that isn't in him, though it's still entirely possible he's got some hidious fiend inside.]

So. You're looking for something like that...what. In my soul? I'm as surprised as you that there isn't something dark there.
puzzlingly: (☥ 43.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-16 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Did you actually expect to have a monster? Why?

You're so confusing Law... Atem, yet again looks up at the spirit... monster...
Ka, and it looks down at him.
hot_mes: (no crying)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-16 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[well the androgynously female-like countenance is sort of off-putting to his ego, but...]

Am I a good person, or not? I don't know, anymore.

[whoops probably not a good time to bring his own baggage into the dream...]
puzzlingly: (☥ 5.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-16 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Atem and the Ka, in fact, seem to be having some sort of conversation along the way, though it is not that hard to tell something is going on, the enormous pendant in the shape of an inverted pyramid he's wearing shimmers constantly.

It is not Law who needs to put up with the embarrassment of his past at least.

"Can he be trusted?"
hot_mes: (brooding)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-16 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[The bat-winged side of Change of Heart can only be honest: he has darkness buried inside. But the angel side can also attest: he has a light that he cannot deny or extinguish no matter what he wants people to see.

Thanks a lot, Ka.

Law simply bows his head, not even straining against the chains. This must be how Portgas D. Ace and Gol D. Roger felt, on the block.
]

Do what you will with me. The crimes I've committed haven't been against you.
puzzlingly: (☥ 91.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-16 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks indeed...

The young Pharaoh turns and pads back to the throne, and as he passes by his piests he speaks up:


Priest Seto, do your job, and... let this man go.
hot_mes: (talking)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-16 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[...wait what?

(he's betting the priests are thinking the same thing)
]

Who are you? Atem-ya...
puzzlingly: (☥ 1.)

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-16 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Despite of the surprise and the constant confusion this young man causes among them, the High Priest cannot do or say anything against his wishes, besides, as unorthodox as his ideas may seem to him, the young Pharaoh has proven to be... wise, for his years. All or more that his father would ever want from him.

Priest Seto raises his rod and for once, without the whole dramatics, sends the Ka to a stone slab that was already there for this kind of situation. It's shape gets engraved into the stone.

Atem turns just barely to Law, only to catch him being released and picked up to his feet, then answer with a smirk.


I'm the morning and the evening star. I am son of Ra. I am the King.

Dramatic till the end.

You better leave Trafalgar Law. Live.
hot_mes: (suspicious)

[personal profile] hot_mes 2017-10-16 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Rage probably won't be too pleased with them for not feeding him, but Hope and Sorrow on the other hand...

Law's breath catches rather obviously in his throat. Why - how - could he say the same as Cora-san had so long ago? Free of chains and discomfort, he has use of his limbs to get himself out of there, but he wants so much to ask what the hell all of that means. But he also isn't sure he's going to get an answer.

Shoving one of the guards slightly to make room, he straightens fully up and bobs his head in silent gratitude before wandering off. Just outside the door of the palace is a deeper sleep below REM, he might be content to disappear into it and leave the questions for another day when they're awake.

[personal profile] puzzlingly 2017-10-16 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
It's a versatile dream indeed... Rage never had too much of chance with this child, truth to be told. She gets a B for effort.

Atem has a lot to explain, doesn't he? ... Oh well.
