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...

[It's not the kind of thing she'd normally talk about, but she and Temperance are friends, right? That's why she's here? Besides, part of her still thinks this is just a normal dream. It certainly doesn't feel real.]

My husband and I were estranged a few years back. I still loved him, and I wanted to see him again, but he needed to...find himself, I guess is one way of putting it.

It's not the same as what you're dealing with, I could reach out to him, but—I couldn't.

[notimpervious]

[Yes, exactly. Brennan is not typically shy about mentioning her daughter, but it feels comfortable to talk about this with Elena.]

That must have been very difficult. I am-- sorry to hear that. [A slight pause, as she remembers (for once!) Angela's reminder to allow a little time for transitions.] But you have reconciled by now?

[storyseeker]

[It's not something she normally likes talking about, even if they've moved past it and are a solid couple now. But it's fine, right? This is fine.]

Yeah. We're a lot better, and I forgave him a long time ago. But it's hard to forget. You know.

[notimpervious]

[Completely fine.]

I-- don't, in fact. [Not yet, anyway.] But I am happy for you. That you love each other enough to work together to find happiness again. I like to think... that Booth and I are the same.

[Irrational though it may be, and even though nothing lasts forever.]

[storyseeker]

That's what it's all about, right? Loving each other enough to work on things even when it would be easier to walk away?

[There's a breaking point, she knows. But Elena's glad she had never reached hers.]

[notimpervious]

According to some, yes. And if that's something both of you want, then it is admirable that you were able to reconcile. It's not always possible.

[She reaches out and sets a hand on Elena's forearm, like Angela does for her sometimes.]

It may have been difficult, but you are past it now.

[storyseeker]

Yeah. Yeah, we are.

[They are, aren't they? Things have been good here, despite her misgivings about what he'd said on the phone. They're good.]

Wow, this got all serious, didn't it? And on your special night out. I think I owe you a drink.
