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...

[But there is a chance. If Brennan is quick and clever, she might--

Maketh tries to smile for her.]

No, of course not. They died quickly. You they'd hurt. But you're quick, aren't you? Maybe they won't find you.

[Brennan holds her ground.]

Officers familiar with the layout of this ship will certainly be able to find me, a civillian who has never been here before.

[There is no use denying it.]

Well, go ahead. Report me. Sentence me to my death the way you sentenced those innocent people whose names you did not know. Mine is Temperance Brennan. [She hardens her gaze.] The least you can do is remember my name.

[Brennan remembers the name of every victim she has ever identified. They are not just bones. They are lives that ended by the hand of another. She may not have cried for them, but she respects that they were once alive.]

[Maketh watches her for a moment. Then she comes to a decision.]

Goodbye, Temperance Brennan.

[Then, quite calmly, she unholsters her blaster. One between the eyes should make it quick. She'll kill an intruder. That might even get her a promotion.]

[notimpervious]

Learn their names, Maketh Tua. You took their lives to climb the ranks of your Imperial military order. You owe them at least that.

[Brennan has faced down death before. She does nto deserve it now either, but she will stand tall and take it. She will defy this broken Empire's rules. If her death can help one of its child soldiers to break free, then it will have had meaning. She will have made a difference.

She does not close her eyes as Maketh takes aim.]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh feels the breathe catch in her throat. She doesn't smile. She tries, but it doesn't work. You must not be weak. No, she must not.]

I'm sorry.

[It's worth nothing. But's not a lie.

The shot echoes. And with it, the dream ends.]
