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...

► 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.

Kain tenses up when he hears the words from those graves, turning away and looking downward, shamefully. He knows the depth of his and Cecil's crime here... something which he never had a chance to make amends for. But he's afraid now, afraid that they might rise up from the grave somehow and take revenge... No, it's a foolish thought. Especially when all he feels from this location is a deep sense of sadness.

He looks at Rydia, finding it hard to even do that. But if he feels bad, he imagines she must feel even worse. She and these others were fully innocent here. She'd lost everything and everyone she'd cared for at their hands.

"Trust me, I don't want to be here. I don't know why I'm... even here." That's rather strange, if he considers it. "Rydia... I'm so sorry. This place, being here... I can't imagine what it's like for you. Should we try to go elsewhere?" Away from those accusing stones, at least.

This is so awkward and unpleasant, Rydia hides her face behind a hand and turns away shaking her head. "I don't know either but you shouldn't be here anyway." She would usually think about the Feymarch and her new family but right now that kind of thoughts eludes her, somehow in her mind they chased her out and she's just there- alone. No, almost alone, in company of one of the few people she'd really not like to see in Mist, Kain already blames himself too much for everything and the village is just so... so...

"It's okay, I'm okay-" She turns once more, now facing Kain and trying to hold his hands to reassure him as much as she can. Despite her words, thought, it's clear she's not handling well the whole situation. "I'm just sorry you have to see it like this, it used to be so lovely in here. And... you should, I have to stay here. I mean... I don't really have a way out of this, do I? But you can take the path back to Baron, I'm sure... it's still there." Her voice is breaking down a little now. In part Rydia hates the idea of being left behind once more, in part she knows keeping him around would only make things worse.

"There's nowhere the voices can reach in Mist and no path for me to leave so... just go, please."

Is that what she really wants? What she really needs, for that matter? Kain isn't sure, either way, and he doesn't know whether or not he's able to make that decision. It doesn't feel like his to make. Not here, not in this destroyed place that was once her home. Another wave of sorrow hits him, but... he isn't about to let that get to him. Instead... instead he wants to do what he can for her. If he feels terrible, she must feel so much worse. It was her family and friends... and he and Cecil... they'd... they'd killed them all.

"Are you sure, Rydia? That you want to be left alone right now?" Not entirely alone, given the spirits of this place, but still. He thinks about the last few days and how weird they've been. There's something about this which isn't quite right, and he knows it's probably not his choice where he goes. "I can try, though I'm not even sure if I can leave... This... I'm not sure if this is real."
