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.

"You dare — you dare — to play at remorse! You invited me to drop you from this very cliff!"

His arm swings toward that edge, pointing and drawing attention not only to the cliff, but the ruin of Kul Elna and the fires and screams that still fill the desert night. Their argument has not stopped the scene for progressing, has not stopped bodies from being carried into the foul work space to be melted into gold trinkets for the royal court.

"Yet a village means nothing to you. So which is the truth then, false king? Your remorse, or your apathy?"

"I am no king here..."

He tries, he reaches for him as far as he can, with his words, as he has before.

Can't he really see it? That his pain hurts him as well? Sure, of course, he will never know how was it to lose it all, in the way that Bakura did, only here he had been so close to feel it in the flesh, but... It does, his pain hurts the Pharaoh's soul. It is a reminder that everything he had ever believed in was but a lie. This sin had made his father sick, it had killed him, and Atem is sure, without a shadow of a doubt, if circumstances had been different for them all, that if he had let the terrible truth sink in, it would have killed him too.

"That doesn't answer my question."

Which honestly surprise the thief; have their conversations ever been anything but full of traps and barbs? It's no different from their duels. But he also finds that he can't care too much for the answer; he's little enough energy that isn't being taken up in the burning rage and the terrible, deep sorrow caused by the scene below.

To relive this same memory every night is almost more than he can take. His nerves are frayed enough from this strange place and from the fight for survival. For sleep to be less than restful is not exactly helpful.

It doesn't, does it?

What can the Pharaoh tell him that covers and soothes what the Thief is feeling right now, that makes Atem feel better himself when he feels like dropping himself off that cliff anyway? The screams make him feel sick still, do they make feel Bakura anything else nowadays, he wonders, other than hate?

Atem wants out this dream so badly he wouldn't mind doing it by himself, not even asking Bakura to do it, he's got enough in his plate already after all--

ah, of course...

Without thinking about it twice, Atem gathers the courage and springs towards Bakura, tackling the taller man down towards the cliff, and the Pharaoh doesn't let go, he goes down with him.

It is a long way down...



Seconds later he can feel it, the absolute dread down his stomach as he wakes, sitting up and gasping heavily, drenched in his own sweat.

He's here...

The move catches him off guard and the surprise combined with the proximity to the edge of the cliff means there's no time to brace himself. They tumble over together, a mess of limbs and cloaks and claws at the Pharaoh's arms fiercely.

"You fool!" Though it's unclear if he's referring to the Pharaoh or himself, truly. Still, it galls him that his last moments are to be in the arms of his greatest enemy and one hand finally finds that slim throat, locking around it so he can stare fiercely into the eyes of his nemesis, seconds before they're to hit the sharp rocks below.

He'll never forgive you, Pharaoh. Never.
