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...

Michael frowns. Well...

"Sorry, I work in a morgue." Worked? "That only has one meaning to me."

He thinks maybe it could also refer to being kidnapped? Since in movies they always put black bags over peoples' heads. But surely that's not it.

Well. Fair enough, Rosen has to give him that one.

"I think the DoD would have preferred it if I had been black bagged in your version of the term."

It certainly would have been an easier cleanup for them. No loose ends, all their crimes get wrapped away and buried with him.

"However in my case, it is something more insidious and politically motivated. I didn't get a trial because the courts are run by the same people who wanted me locked away. The crime I supposedly committed was against the United States Government, not a fellow citizen. So 'black bagged' means I was packed away and all evidence of my existence was erased from public knowledge."

Michael squints over at Rosen. This sounds maybe more serious than his own situation; at least he doesn't have the entire government after him. Not that it feels any better.

"So what did you actually do? They wouldn't frame you for something and erase your existence for no reason, right?"

The idea is terrifying in a very primal way. Being trapped and having no way out, and no one on the outside even knows you're missing. No one back home even knows what's going on in this place, and the people in charge won't let you use the phone, so you have no way of telling them.

Wait. What? That's not what's happening here. Well, it is, but- God, this is confusing. He feels like he's in two places at once.
