hadriel_logs | 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.

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.

「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.」

[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]

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.」

[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]

「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.」

[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.

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.」

[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...]

「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?"」

[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.

「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.

[...wait what?

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

Who are you? Atem-ya...

「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.

[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.]

「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.」
