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...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

( It's been said before, brown eyes and shared habits (Marc smooths down his shirt and brushes his hair back in the same way Kate does) makes it easy to think they're related by more than hours, days, years of time spent together. Siblings in all but blood, ever exaggerating that kinship where they can - hair, tattoos (Marc more than Kate, she liked piercings better but they're hard to keep around with a career path like hers). )

Is someone there?

( Kate nods, glancing over at where Jo stands as she tosses a handful of knives towards Marc's legs. He doesn't shift at all, only the briefest twitch of his fingers before the three blades still in mid-air. )

Good. Maybe they can help you.

( It's all good-natured and Kate rolls her eyes, tossing another knife, still holding on to her longbow without using it. )

Says th' kid who panicked so bad during his spars with 'Licia that he buried her sword in th' wall.

( She jumps in a high arc as soon as Marc fires back the blades he holds in front of him, flipping back into the stands. )

So... you gonna join us?

( He tosses the words over his shoulder as the knives clatter into the colosseum's stands. )

[Jo keeps an eye on those knives instead of Kate, only jumping a little bit when they clatter.]

I'm pretty sure I'd be the underdog.

( It's that second where Marc's attention is diverted over his shoulder that Kate uses to quickly loose a bow in his direction, enough to make the young man start, telekinesis suddenly flaring to life and sending the thing careening wildly off to one side. )

Not fair, Kat.

Monsters aren't fair.

( And, as if to punctuate that, Kate pushes herself forward, flying through the air and landing back in the circle with ease. )

C'mon, Jo. 'E still thinks he's invincible.

( Which, after watching Marc die, she knows he isn't. And she doesn't intend on letting him die here, even if people return to life. )

She's right about that. [Monsters take advantage of any opening they can get.

Still...]

Who's team would I be on?

I don't need the hel- Ow ( His bragging's quickly cut off by the way Kate darts in close and reaches up - tiptoes and all, being a foot shorter than your asshole brother is a pain - to clip Marc around the back of the head. )

He's the one tryin' for the guard, so.

( May as well give him a challenge. )

I definitely don't want to help the guy who can throw things with his mind.

( Well then. It's girls vs boy. Kate grins at Jo and pulls out a few knives. )

Got summat to fight with?

( Even if she thinks she doesn't, Jo might just find a weapon on hand when she looks. )

I-

[Oh, look. That's a nice looking dagger set.]

Yeah.

( Isn't being in a dream grand? But Marc's made his move before Kate manages to, ducking in and aiming a fist to her side. She ducks, lightning-quick, and responds with a knife aimed at his calf, unsurprised when he jumps out of the way, back towards Jo. )

[Jo has just jumped over into the arena and when Marc comes closer, she runs towards him, elbow out in preparation to poke him in the back.]

( Think fast, Jo, because while Marc isn't as quick as Kate - never has been, but we digress - he's still light enough on his feet to try and spin around to the back of her and pin her arms to her sides. Kate, for her part, doesn't let up, moving forwards with a jump that launches her behind both of them and gets Marc to turn his head her way, distracted from the other half of the team for a moment. )

I don't think so, Kat.

( He knows better than to let someone with her power sneak up on him. But he does seem to leave himself blind to Jo... )

[Jo smiles broadly, despite her arms being pinned to her sides.

She goes limp, dragging Marc down a little before she stands again, driving him back and hopefully forcing him to let go.]

( That does the trick, Marc's grip loosens enough that Jo can slip out and he lets out a laugh at the technique, trying to knock Jo off balance with a foot aimed directly at her shin, a flare of telekinetic power hovering a knife threateningly close to Kate, enough to make her kick it out of the way. It goes careening across the colosseum but is quickly snatched back up by psychic power and flung back towards Kate. )

Ghost duel?

( Really, Marc? God. )

Get out of it then.

( But, mostly, he wants to be able to concentrate on physically fighting one person at a time and no more. )

[Jo just laughs as she jumps back from the kick just in time.]

Scared already?

( Marc laughs. He's not as fast as Kate - who is, she'd easily remind him - but he's strong. His movements cut through the air with weight as he doesn't change tactics, keeping Kate busy with the "ghost" while he focuses on Jo, not bothering to answer the question at all.

Oh, BTW, Jo? There's another knife, dancing right at the back of your neck. God only knows when he pulled that off. )

... Strategy.

( It's at that time when Kate breaks free, the split second of gloating dropping Marc's attention to the knife holding her off and allowing her to dive behind, touching the back of his neck.

Both knives clatter to the floor. )

You're it.

[When the knife fall Jo relaxes just a little bit.]

We're done, right?

( Kate's hand hovers just shy of Marc's skin until he eventually says- )

Aye.

( And then she taps the back of his neck, letting his powers flow freely again. Around them, the Colosseum seems to wobble, as if distorting, drifting from their visions.

But it feels alright. Like anywhere they'll go will be better.

It's a nice feeling to wake up to. Like anything's possible. )
