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.

There is a knock at the door. A guard pokes his head in and announces, "Someone is here to see you, Emperor. One Curufin Fëanorion. He names himself a Dark Jedi." The guard looks a bit confused, as that designation tends to be used historically rather than contemporarily.

It has been some years since Anakin and Curufin have met face to face. The figure in the hallway is dark-robed as Anakin is, and similarly carries a pair of light sabers. Having always been a restless sort, he paces a bit while waiting for the guard to get on with it.

Any softness on his features flees the moment the guard appears. A dark smile follows the announcement and he ushers Padmé, Leia and Luke into an adjoining room. No, he trusts no one around his greatest treasures. Everyone is watched. Everyone is monitored.

"Let him in."

A Dark Jedi, hm? Well they should get along great.

"Curufin, it has been a long time. What brings you to see me?"

Curufin enters the room as soon as he is bidden to. He smiles in greeting.

"It has been a long time. Too long, in fact. Before we talk business, tell me, how are you? Are you happy in your life?" As Emperor, and as a family man. Curufin genuinely wants to know this, before he launches into a matter that concerns him.

"I am where I have always wanted to be." so Curufin will not hear him complaining, "Surely you have not made this journey just to check on me?"

No, everyone wants something from the one in power. It doesn't bother him, generally, because he has those who love him for him. Without them, he would likely be killing a lot more people.

"I made it partly to check on you, Anakin," replies Curufin. "And I am glad for you, that you have achieved your dream."

Although he does have a few worries about this. Once a person achieves so much power, it is hard to wield it justly, human beings being what they are -- we all want what we want, and what we want seems fair and right to us, even when others disagree or have opposing desires. It is hard not to use power to overpower others in that case.

But as for Curufin, his business is fairly simple, though he's not sure what kind of reception he will get once he reveals it.

"I will not mince words, then, since your time is valuable and you must be very busy. The Dark Jedi are a fairly small group. We are not identical with the Sith, as we have some differences with the tenets of the Sith Order. And as you can guess from what we call ourselves, we have some differences with the Jedi philosophy, too. We believe in the passions; we believe that truth is to be found by accepting them and exploring them, by plunging into the power that they confer on the heart that welcomes them. We believe the Dark Side and the Light Side are both essential to a warrior's understanding of the meaning of life as well as to his or her combat skills. You have heard me speak of this before, long ago."

"But on those few planets where the Dark Jedi make their homes and have their training centers, the Empire rules -- of course, as it does everywhere in the galaxy! -- and your administrators apparently have some concerns about us. They have us under surveillance and seem to be leaning towards regarding us as a heretical cult. A few of us have been arrested, but so far, everybody's been released after questioning and nobody's been executed or even permanently jailed."

"I hope that it will stay that way. And so I decided to come straight to the top, instead of arguing with the local officials. Can you help me with this?"
