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...

If I could leave, believe me, I would. But I have nowhere to run away to. Even if I did, Sensei would destroy my art career in an instant... He has too much influence.

[Finally, he looks around and spots Adam. There's something jarring about seeing a total stranger here, but Yusuke hasn't quite figured out this is a dream yet.]

Who are you? Are you here to help me?

[unknowable]

Do you want me to help you?

[The question is straightforward. Adam never reacted well to attempts to help, when it was him in that position. He didn't want their pity. The least he can do is ask.]

I will, if you want.

[He's not really sure how, but - there has to be a way.]

[wantsnudes]

[Pity is the least of Yusuke's worries, when he never had much by way of pride to begin with. He bites his lip, thinking, as he pushes himself to his feet.]

Yes, but... It's too dangerous. It's probably better if I simply help you escape, before Madarame takes notice I'm not alone in here.

[unknowable]

I'm not worried about that.

[He pretends to a confidence he doesn't quite feel - but he can fake it, at least.]

It's more important to get you out of here and somewhere safe. Is there anywhere you can go?

[wantsnudes]

[Yusuke shakes his head.] Sensei -- that is, Madarame -- has always been a father to me, when I had no one. He's all I have. Even if I told someone about all he's done, none would believe me.

[He shakes the door again as he tries to open it. Frustrated, he looks back at Adam with an apologetic expression.]

I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention for you to become trapped in my own predicament.

[unknowable]

I believe you. [He says it simply.] Other people would, too. Not everybody, sure, but some. Maybe enough.

[Adam looks around for a window, any other way out.]

You didn't intend it, but I'm here. I might as well try to help.
