Event Log: Dreamwalker the Second

[hadrielmods]

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...

Sugar is next. Ephemera likes his coffee sweet, unless he's trying to force himself to wake up. And it's here, so why not enjoy?

Ephemera tightens his mouth at the question. Last night, it had seemed--

Different, somehow. With Drake holding him.

But now he's wake and--

You promised, Ephemera reminds himself furiously. You promised so straighten the fuck out, soldier.

"Yeah. After I train."

Work out some of the anger.

"Sounds like a plan," Drake agrees, claiming a spoon and helping himself to a little sugar before backing up to sit down at the kitchen table.

"So, weapons?" And they discuss that for awhile, what to use and basic safety when swinging at each other with actually sharp things, while they sip their coffee. It's weirdly domestic, but things are normal. He didn't screw things up the night before, he just has to watch himself from now on.

Eventually, the coffee's gone, and Drake sets his mug in Ephemera's sink and stretches one more time before resigning himself to the fact he has to face the rest of the world. Maybe Liv, if she hasn't already left for the clinic. What time is it, anyway?

He checks his phone and it's still early, but she was probably gone. He's oddly relieved about that, and there's the guilt again. No. No avoidance. Go home, get changed, get your weapons, he tells himself. After that, you can go visit her at the clinic. Plan something for dinner. Even if something tells him he's probably going to wind up back here later tonight, after Ephemera talks to Washington.

He'll be here. He promised.

"Okay. I'll meet you in an hour." That's enough time to get breakfast and his head on straight. Ephemera nods his agreement and follows Drake to the door to see him out.

They open it to see Ephemera's neighbor in her doorway, doing the same thing with her overnight guest.
