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.

Then what the fuck is the point of this?

[George's fists are clenched at her sides, yeahhhh, she's expecting violence any minute now. which would be a mistake on the bully's part; Reapers can take (and deal) a lot of damage. she's startled by Adam stepping in to intervene, but she's going to back him up]

Yeah. What he said.

[her voice is a lot more heated]

[He doesn't necessarily think it'll become violent - these are rich private school boys, not the rough-and-tumble type - but Adam is always careful when it comes to these things. He's not a fighter.

The boy they were talking to stares them down for a moment, then turns to his friends.]

They'll both be cleaning our houses in a few years. Come on, guys.

[With that parting shot, he turns and saunters off, his friends following behind.]

[too bad, George kind of wanted an excuse to bust the ringleader's nose

George meets his eyes, completely unintimidated]

Don't you mean that you'll be kissing our asses in a few years?

[George glares at him hard enough to bore holes in the back of his skull, then turns to Adam]

What a bunch of assholes. Did you seriously have to deal with that shit every day?

[He's smiling a little - just a little. It was nice seeing someone talk back to them like that.]

It wasn't always like that. Most of the time they ignored me.

[Which was insulting, but easier to deal with.]

They knew I wasn't one of them, no matter what I did.

[George smiles back. she's never had a problem putting assholes in their place, especially ones who mess with her friends]

I'd rather be ignored than deal with that shit. At least being ignored means that they shut the fuck up.

[sounds like it would be. and George would know, she was largely ignored by her classmates through most of her life]

No, you're not one of them. You're better. They have their heads so far up their asses, they can see what they had for dinner last night.

[It's not that Adam avoids conflict, but rather that he's more head than heart. He always thinks things over rather than giving in to emotions, and fighting back would have only hurt him in the end.]

They're still obnoxious even when it's not directed at me, unfortunately.

[It's a talent.]

I don't know if I'm better. More self-aware, for sure. Less blindly privileged.

[while George tends to be ruled by her emotions]

Seriously? That sucks. You'd think that they'd at least keep their bullshit to themselves.

[not entirely a welcome one]

Those are all good things.

[He smiles.]

If only. No, they were all raised to believe the world revolves around them. They can't handle anything else.

[And Adam just tries not to let it get to him.]

They aren't all awful. Just most of them.

[she smiles back]

Ugh, I hate that type. We had some in my old school, too, the ones whose parents had a little more money than everyone else.

[George mostly ignored hers. and maybe threw the occasional spitball]

At least not all of them are jackasses.

That's pretty much everyone here, but I guess that's what I get for going to a private school for rich boys.

[And not being a rich boy.]

I did make some really good friends here, though. Surprisingly.

Yeah? Did you get a scholarship for being smart? 'Cause you seem really smart.

[rich snobs will be rich snobs. unfortunate, but true]

You did? That's cool. What are they like?

I did, yeah.

[It feels weird to admit it aloud, but his scholarship was because of his good grades at public school, his excellent test scores, and his 'promising future'. So maybe it was because he's smart?]

Gansey's the kind of guy everyone likes - but unfortunately a huge nerd, too, he just likes to hide it. Ronan is an asshole, but not like those guys. They'd be terrified of him. Well - they were, sometimes.

That's cool.

[sounds like it was because he's smart. George was always considered smart, she just never applied herself]

Nothing wrong with being a nerd. Nerds are the ones everyone winds up working for. And I'm an asshole, I've just recently started using those powers for good. Is that what Ronan does?

[He smiles at the thought of that.]

Ronan uses his asshole powers mostly to be an asshole.

[Not many people get to see his 'good' side.]

But he despises people like that. Well, most people, really, but especially people like that. He almost got kicked out of this school more than once.

That can be fun, too. Just so long as the asshole is pointed in the right direction.

[until recently, not many got to see George's good side, either.

she lets out a slow whistle] Damn. That's impressive. How'd he get out of being kicked out?

Bribes to the headmaster, mostly.

[Not that anyone admitted that was what it was. 'Charitable donations' sounded much nicer.]

He'll probably drop out anyway. School isn't really his thing.

Hey, whatever works?

[hey, if it works, it works? no matter what it's called]

Yeah? Then, what will he do?

Work on his farm.

[It sounds kind of weird, for a punk like Ronan.]

I guess you don't really need to finish school for that.

Like a corn and soybeans farm or a cows farm?

[whatever makes him happy?]

I guess not. You just need--fertilizer. Or animal food. Or something like that. Can you tell that I know fuck-all about farms?

Cows. They're pretty cute, actually. But he's rich, he doesn't really need the income.

[Just like every other boy at this school, except Adam.]

He just likes it. And hey, don't worry. Everything I know about farms I learned from Ronan.

I've never actually seen a cow in person before. So the farm is sort of a hobby farm?

[George has a hard time imagining someone getting rich from farming, but if it works, it works]

It's important to like what you do. If you don't, your whole day's gonna suck.

Yeah... something like that, I guess. It's his home.

[Adam had never seen a cow before either. They're pretty cute, though.]

I'll agree on that point. I used to think success was what mattered, but - I don't know. Love is a privilege. If you can find it, you shouldn't let it go.

[thinking about cute cows will make her feel guilty about eating burgers]

Yeah, Love. . . I wouldn't know about that kind of thing.

I felt the same way for a long time.

[Most of his life, really.]

It's not an easy thing.

I'd say so. Not that I can get anyone interested.
