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.

"Your cooperation," the woman simply says, before ignoring Firo completely. Her attention turns to the robotic figure. "Escort this one to the transport pod. El-87 will be prepped there."

Somehow, it does not seem that the woman is referring to Firo this time.

The sentry securing Firo's wrists by metal restaints far more sophisticated, thick, and uncomfortable than the already uncomfortable handcuffs, it marches the prisoner out of the cold cell.

Rather than being met with a cell block full of screaming, spitting prisoners, the area is eerily quiet. Only the muffled sounds of movements can be heard behind each door they pass by as the sentry starts taking Firo down a narrowed catwalk. The woman is gone, seemingly tending to business elsewhere.

Given that he seems to be in deep trouble already, Firo doesn't hold back a parting shot as he's restrained. "You coulda' just asked nicely."

Seriously. What's with people these days.

He scans the area, trying to get an idea of who's in the cells, if anyone, and where they might be going. He's not so sure he likes the idea of 'transport pod.' Wherever he's going, he's pretty sure he's not going to be released just like that.

People are rude.

Even ruder is the manner that the sentry handles Firo. While it is clearly equipped to handle those who struggle with all their might, even his compliance is met with some roughness, either pushing or dragging him down a cold, metal corridor before he has a chance to get a good look at the cell block.

Not that there was much to see -- the doors were solid, sealed with valves that secured the inside, same as Firo's.

Eventually, the hallway ends. A mostly transparent door slides open from both sides, leading into a glassy, oval pod inside.

Standing by one of the doors is another figure, dressed like the woman that had escorted Firo out of his room. But her face is more obscured behind a mask. Her metal armor making her only appear mechanical at first, but she's not like the sentry or the previous woman.

Firo appraises this new scenery before zeroing in on this new person. If there was a lesson to learn about opening his mouth to people here, he'll need some more reinforcement to learn it.

"Are your manners any better than theirs?"

He jerks his thumb back to indicate his captors, wincing as the momentarily forgotten cuffs jostle him with the gesture.
circumitus: (not your white knight in shining armor)

Rather than turning towards Firo, the woman moves towards his escort. She's a blur. Brandishing a heavy metal baton, spitting blue sparks as she cracks it against the cranial portion of the sentry.

The force is enough to send it crumbling to the floor. But she takes a few more whacks at it to make sure it doesn't get back up.

She kneels down beside it, seemingly looking for something.

"No, not really," Rey finally replies from behind the mask.

Hey, he knows that voice! In spite of being cuffed and banged up, Firo grins as he watches her inspect the sentry.

"You make up for it with your timing. What're you looking for?"

Is she looking for keys? He sure hopes she's looking for keys.
circumitus: ...it got messy. (i did a shot of seamonkeys)

Rey isn't going to ask how or why Firo is here. She's been down this block before; just never expected that she would see it again. Oh well.

She clips off a rectangular device from the sentry's arm.

"A way out," she replies, clicking the device.

With that, Firo's restraints drop off his wrists. Hail the modern technology of the Twenty-second Century -- keys were so fifty years ago.

He lets them clatter to the ground and kicks them aside: out of sight, out of mind. "Thanks."

"All right, so where're we going?"

He has to get that out of the way first. Once they have their plan, then he can wonder why Rey's here (and why he's here) and what the hell this place even is.
circumitus: You owe me waffles (sunrise bitch.)

Being forcefully confined and bound in chains is an unpleasant experience for most people, so freeing Firo was on Rey's first order of business.

Next, it's their escape. It's obvious that none of this is real, but that doesn't mean it will just end upon that revelation. There's something they have to do. Breaking out might be it.

"This place is all connected by a series of complexes and shuttles. Our best chances is probably the hangar below or admin above."

So what'll it be? The high road or the low road?

"Admin sounds like it's gonna have less guards. Let's go that way."

He only has a vague idea of where the administrative buildings would've been on Alcatraz, which he assumes is by design. And if people keep the prisoners away from it, he bets it's going to have fewer guards too. He doesn't know for sure about this place, but it's his best guess.
circumitus: There's my chippy! (where's my chippy?)

[personal profile] circumitus 2017-12-04 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
She nods, before grabbing something attached to the machine's side. It looks like a gun, but nothing like anything Firo would have ever seen. It's equipped with charges rather than bullets.

"All right. High road it is." Rey squeezes the weapon in her hand, rising to her feet. She hands the baton she was using earlier to Firo. "Probably better not to go unarmed on the way there."
foundafamily: (14.1)

[personal profile] foundafamily 2017-12-10 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks." He takes the baton and sets off beside her.

"What kinda prison is this anyway? I was in Alcatraz before, but this definitely isn't it. I mean, the guards there were stiff, but they were still human..."

Not whatever this hunk of junk is.
circumitus: (goddammit you're a loose cannon)

[personal profile] circumitus 2017-12-15 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Rather than turning her attention to Firo, Rey marches forward. Keeps her focus on the corridor before them, keen on any hint of possible obstacles that stand in their way.

Of course, nothing here poses a physical threat, but these dreams, like before, seemed to progress with a certain goal in mind. Escape has to be this one.

"Because it isn't Alcatraz," Rey comments, the old and forgotten prison a far cry from where they are now. "This is the sky prison that hangs over the synthetics' capital, Concordia. Was here before. Not as a prisoner."

"Only some of those words made sense to me."

A brief pause. "If you weren't a prisoner, what were you?"

Can't be anything good. In spite of himself, he finds his nerves suddenly antsy, as if she'll whirl around and put the cuffs right back on him.
circumitus: Captain Morgan didnt let me down when i stand up it feels like the world is trying to hand me rainbows. (i hate your face)

If he catches the gist of what she's saying, then it doesn't matter how much Firo understands.

"Stowaway," Rey replies simply. "This place is big. Real big. Lots of places to stay hidden in. Had to get some people out."

Don't worry, Firo. She's far from on their side.
foundafamily: (14.1)

[personal profile] foundafamily 2017-12-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Better than he'd feared. Satisfied, Firo nods and sets to scanning their surroundings.

"So why're you back now?"
