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...

► 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.

[Both the twins are looking with surprise at the way the spell changed, and frankly, it's a good thing neither of them really have better spells than that, or this could have ended up badly. As it stands, Taako scrambles up from the ground as Lup grabs his arm this time, looking back towards the both of them.]

C'mon, go go go!

[Taako grabs at the bundles he dropped, Lup taking one from his hands for ease of movement, and Taako reaches back to take Kate's hand, tugging her along with them as they make their break for the treeline.]

[bratherine]

( You don't have to tell this girl twice, and she's darting out supernaturally quick, her hand clasped tight around Taako's as the three rocket towards the trees, into the thicket. )

... Dickhead.

( The guy, obviously. That's the right thing to gasp out when you finally think it's safe, right? )

[pocketspa]

[The three of them rocket into the underbrush, neither of the twins stopping until they've cleared some distance. They're breathing heavily, but not too much-- Taako, though, is staring at Kate, enraptured.]

How did you do that. Back there, with-- you grabbed me.

[bratherine]

Uh-

( You've got her there, honestly. She's never had her power work that way before, and Kate glances down at her hand, brown eyes narrowed in confusion. )

Guess my power messed up or summat.

( That's... not how she's used to it going. And, with a pause and a sigh, Kate finally declares: )

But it worked.

( That's important. And so's another thing: )

What's th' story with you guys, anyway?

( Yeeeep. Just ask it right like that, Kitkat. 👌 )

[pocketspa]

Power?

[Lup immediately buts in, running up to her twin. Side by side, they look nearly identical, aside from the way their hair is tousled and the way bits of dirt cling to their faces. Taako looks puzzled at her response, tapping a few fingers against his chin.]

Oh, so are you like, uh... Lup, what's the name of those people, uh, magic but you just kinda have it, what's the--

[She cuts him off excitedly.]

Sorcerers! Or warlocks-- hey, did you make a deal with a demon?

[She's readdressing Kate now, folding her arms as Taako nudges her with his shoulder.]

Don't be an idiot, no she didn't. She'd know how to use it if that was up. Sorcerers just like, are born with it and accidentally set stuff on fire 'n junk.

[Lup laughs, shoving at her brother. It seems they're quickly moving off into their own little interactive world, even if they keep talking in her direction.]

I accidentally set stuff on fire all the time! I want fancy buffs!

[bratherine]

( Well. This is a whole lot of words that don't trigger anything familiar, but their interactions barely give Kate the pause to ask about any of it. That really isn't so bad, though. They're away from the guy from before and Kate feels the corners of her mouth tug in amusement at the excited conversation between the two. )

Can't set anythin' on fire.

( That's her contribution to this discussion, and it comes with the bite and pout of someone who wishes they could do anything that cool. )

Guess I'm not a sorcerer either.

[pocketspa]

[Lup grins, wide and toothy.]

I can! Sometimes.

[Taako laughs at her, nudging her a little bit.]

Yeah, only once a day when you think really, really hard, and then you just look constipated.

[Lup rolls her eyes, but looks back towards Kate anyway, obviously intent on carrying this conversation somewhere more interesting to her.]

Well that was like, an assist spell, right? Maybe you're like, a cleric or something. You know, those helpful people.

[Taako snorts at that, too, looking Kate up and down.]

No way. You don't serve some weird god, right?
