hadriel_logs | 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...

[It's one thing to be thrust into the dreams of her friends and family. It's another entirely to be pulled into the dreams of those she doesn't even know yet.

But Lup watches this stranger, surrounded by dragons, in slight awe, her head tipped to the side curiously, until quite suddenly she is there on the back of the dragon too, skinny arms locking around Dany's middle. The first rush of her stomach dropping out from beneath her leaves the elf bursting out into laughter, delighted by the suddenness of this all.]

Holy shit, this is the flippin' best!

[ Dany doesn't seem bothered by the stranger's presence: how could she? In these moments, all she feels is delight, and laughs happily as the other does. ]

It is. There isn't anything else like it. [ Nothing carries the same feeling as flying through the skies on the backs of her children.

She doesn't realize it in this dream, but she's been missing them very much, in Hadriel. ]

[Lup drops her head on top of Dany's shoulder and squeezes her around the middle, grinning wildly there at her side, gaze dropping to the ground so far below them, watching it change and shift as they soar on forward.]

Is this something you just fucking do? Whenever you want? Cause, lady, I'd like to put in an order for a dragon. Stat.

[ The question makes her laugh lightly, and she shakes her head. ]

I don't fly on their backs as much as I would like to. And there are only three dragons: the ones that you see.

[ Her dragons. Her children.

As they ride on Drogon, dipping through the skies, his brothers rise and fall at their sides, cawing and shrieking happily. ]

I think that they like you.

[Three dragons left, huh? That's... Well, pretty damn tragic, huh?

One of Lup's hands falls from around Dany's waist to move to the dragon's side, running over scales, admiring the sharp feel against her too sensitive new skin. After not feeling much of anything in over a decade, this is quite the experience.]

So, they all friends of yours, then? Does that make you the keeper of the dragons or something? Cause that's pretty rad.

[The other dragon rising up beside them shrieks and Lup laughs, startled slightly by the sudden presence there.] And shit, I hope so. I'd rather not end up dragon food.

They are my children. [ She informs Lup simply, but there is warmth in her tone. Dany, too, lays a hand on Drogon's back. ] I am the Mother of Dragons, the last Targaryen.

[ There she goes again. Dany takes pride in all that, though, and puffs up a little as she reports it. And why not? She's come a long way, has endued... so much to be here, soaring through the air on the back of a full-grown dragon. There's an undeniable feeling there, like-... well, a mother who has raised children to adulthood. ]

They won't harm you. [ She assures her passenger, chuckling lightly. ] You are no enemy of ours.

[The woman lets loose a loud laugh at the title, not so much because of the title itself, but because she hadn't even been that far off in what she'd first thrown off. Though holy shit, 'mother of dragons' had to be the most badass name she's ever heard.]

The last Targaryen, [Lup repeats softly against the rush of the wind before she's tucking her chin into Dany's shoulder, close to her ear.] Pretty lady, cool dragons... Why the heck are we only meeting now?

[ The contact is... not unwanted. This is Delight's dream, after all, and so there's a little flurry of a heartbeat as Lup leans in and... frankly, flirts. ]

I'm not sure. I've only been here for a few months, now. [ Because she remembers Hadriel, really, knows that this is a dream... but, her visitor is no figment. ]

[Lup's a flirtatious woman by nature, so being this close to a beautiful lady? Oh hell yeah, she's gonna flirt for sure.]

I'll have to keep an eye out for you, then. Gotta keep all of Hadriel's finest in my circle. [Collecting friends is a good way to keep from letting the boredom of the place get to her.] So, we got dragons hidin' around in Hadriel too? Or did you pop in alone?

Edited 2017-11-30 20:23 (UTC)

What a circle that must be. [ She chuckles, pleased by the influence of the dream and by the good conversation both. ]

I was brought here alone. Truthfully, I don't think they would be able to fly much, there, if they could fit at all.

[ Dragons are meant for the sky, after all, not for under the ground. ]

True. Not really the place for 'em. [Even if it would make things a hell of a lot more interesting.]

Though to be honest, our shitty cave is barely appropriate for any of us smaller lifeforms either, if you ask me. The lack of sunshine's gonna send folks off the deep end one of these days.

I agree. I have never lived somewhere like this, where there is no sun at all.

[ In fact, most places she's lived have had too much sun. ]

I think it has already... had some effects.

[It's definitely a little inappropriate given how little they know each other, but Lup gives Dan's middle a gentle squeeze, pressing close against her back.]

Yeah, I feel you. It bites. If you're ever missing the sunshine too much, give me a ring. I'll be your sun replacement. I've been told my smile's just as bright.

[probably said by herself to herself but]

[ In other circumstances she would pull from the contact, but the sense of delight in the dream only serves to make Lup's gesture more pleasant, and she smiles indulgently. ]

I'll need to remember that. [ Dany chuckles lightly, smile turning amused. ] And I shall call upon you should my days grow too dark.
