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.

What did that rabbit ever do to you anyway?
no subject
He frowns at Atem's question.]
Nothing. So?
[He's not sure how this is related.]
It's just a stupid animal.
no subject
「That is stupid! But you know what? He won't be saying that! He's not going to be calling a child stupid... That cannot be all there is.」
no subject
[It comes out more defensively than he intended, but he's not very good at explaining himself yet. Mom asked why he kills stuff too, but he's pretty sure she's never understood his answers. He doesn't know how to make adults understand.]
I just like it. It's okay to do it on the rabbit because it's just an animal I caught. Nobody's gonna know.
[Unless Atem tells, of course... But he doesn't think Atem will tell.]
no subject
If it is okay to do it on the rabbit, who is not okay to do it on?
no subject
People. And I'm not supposed to do it on anybody's cats.
[That hasn't happened yet, technically, but he remembers it anyway. Dreams are funny like that.]
no subject
Hey--! Cats are sacred. 「Dude, stay away from the cats. Bastet will have your soul. But, t-that's hardly the point! Oh, well.」
You're not supposed to do it on anyone. Why do you want to anyway?
「Let's go right to the point, why pussyfoot here? There is always something else, he knows it, he just has to remember certain people from his past, they always had stronger reasons.」
no subject
That's what I said. No cats and no people. [He knows the rules. No one even had to tell him, not really. He figured it out on his own after he got into some fights at school. People are off limits.
As for the rest, he shrugs.]
I dunno. It makes me feel better.
no subject
「Of course he had that question coming.」
no subject
[But it's a good question, so he chews on his lip to think it over. No one's really bothered to ask, they just tell him it's bad and that he shouldn't do it. He shifts, still crouched over the rabbit to hold it in place, but it's stopped struggling quite as much. He thinks he can afford to ease up a bit.]
Like if I get sad, it helps me not be sad anymore. Or if I get nervous.
no subject
...
What happened to you, little buddy?
Atem doesn't quite look at him with pity, but it is something close to it, something probably closer to worry. For the first time, he looks back at the little window, the one where the running water can be heard, don't think he didn't notice him looking at it nervously.
The young Pharaoh also notices how he seems to loosen up a little. He leans slightly over the child attempting to place a hand on his shoulder, not for relief, though, not a all, but he will not touch him if he doesn't agree with what he wants to do.」
Don't move, let me hold it for you.
no subject
He doesn't recoil from the hand on his shoulder, but he hesitates. Atem doesn't want him to kill the rabbit, does he?]
What are you gonna do with it? Don't let it go. They're hard to catch.
[They're not, really, but they are for him. He can't get back here too often, and Mom will let his catches go and put his traps away when she finds them.]
no subject
I won't let it go.
「He skips the part of what he's gonna do with it, because, he himself doesn't know it.」
Can you tell me, what makes you nervous?
no subject
[He still has questions, but he does sit up. He clamps his hands around the rabbit's middle to hold it against the ground.
He hesitates at the question.]
I dunno. I just do sometimes. [He glances at the window again. This conversation is making him nervous, though he can't say that. He shouldn't talk about Mom.] Why do you wanna know?
no subject
「Atem crooks his head a little, still taking in the way this little guy keeps glancing at the window.」
Because...
「That is one good question, though.」
Maybe I can help.
no subject
After a moment, he shifts to give Atem room to take hold of the rabbit if he wants to.]
How would you help? I don't think it's stuff anyone can help with. It's just how I feel sometimes.
no subject
Let's go.
no subject
But he stands too, and somewhat reluctantly takes his hand.]
Go where? [And there's another glance at the window.] Mom'll be mad if I leave the yard...
no subject
I don't know, anywhere but here.
no subject
[It's a tempting offer. He does feel strangely safe with this man, though he's not sure why. Maybe it's because he has cool hair? Or... More likely, because Atem asked for the rabbit instead of just taking it from him. That's not something that usually happens.
But he can't just leave, can he?
He gets to leave eventually. Soon, even. It's almost time to go to school and it won't be long after that. Things will be messy and unfamiliar for a long time after, though, so that's not even all that better. It doesn't get good for another fifteen, twenty years. These things take time, a lot of people will say to him. Some things are still taking time.
Maybe, then, it wouldn't hurt to speed up the process. He can make it so Mom doesn't find him. It's not hard, really. He never liked his name, anyway.
He squeezes Atem's hand, but as he does, the yard goes silent. The shower's off. His head whips around to the house and he pulls his hand away. He bites down on his lip as hard as he can. He's going to get in trouble.]
I gotta go. Sorry. [He drops his eyes, but then very briefly glances up at the rabbit.] Sorry.
[He backs away slowly, and then turns to jog to the back door. He's careful with the sliding glass, pulling the door shut behind him slowly so that he doesn't make too much noise.]
no subject
Hey no, that's not fair. This guy follows, it takes him a moment but he follows him inside, that, if he can pass through that door.」
no subject
Hey! [He realizes belatedly that he needs to be quiet. He charges down the stairs so he can whisper instead.]
You gotta go. I can't have friends over. [Sort of, anyway. He shoves at Atem with both hands, trying to push him back outside.]
no subject
Okay, okay... I'll leave, but...「He mimicks that volume, glancing towards the stars, just in case.」 If you ever need help, if you ever feel sad again, call my name, and I'll be here, okay?
「Of course he hasn't told him his name, but he'll get there!」
no subject
Um, I guess. [He's not convinced that Atem could actually do anything to help.
He pauses, thinking.] You didn't say what your name was.
no subject
My name is Atem. Yours?
