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...

She doesn't feel like she should be here. It's... strange, and yet she can't make herself turn away from the scene at the front of the church. Julie hasn't been in a building like this for a long time, not since before the first outbreaks, and she allows her eyes to wander briefly before the voice at her shoulder makes her jump.

It doesn't need to be asked - this is that little girl, and Julie is stepping somewhere that she really doesn't belong.

"... I'm sorry," she murmurs back, wrapping her arms around herself. She frowns and takes a deep, steadying breath. "That's your dad, right..?"

"Thanks." Nick nods, solemn, and shoves her hands into the back pockets of her jeans. "Yeah. He died when I was eight. Best guy I've ever known. I wanted to be just like him when I grew up."

She pauses, drops her gaze to the floor, holds her bottom lip between her teeth for the moment of silence. "It was almost twenty years ago. You think with that much time it'd hurt less, but it doesn't. Not really."

Julie nods like she understands. "My mom--" she begins, but it doesn't feel right to talk about her own dead parent while watching the funeral of someone else's, so she punctuates the sentence fragment with a shrug.

"I... know it hurts. Like hell, all the time."

She watches for a few moments longer, then shakes her head a little bit. "Sorry, I didn't mean to barge in like this."
