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...

[anoshe]

Of course you do. Everyone does. You've simply been trained not to exercise that choice.

[He breathes in, reining in his temper as much as he can. They won't see eye-to-eye on this, he doesn't think, and while that's frustrating, it's not something that can be easily fixed.]

You don't think this is wrong?

[leashed]

I think...

[He frowns, uncomfortable as he looks away.]

I didn't like doing it.

[anoshe]

[Well, that's... something.]

Would you do it again, if you were ordered?

[leashed]

-of course.

[It's automatic, reassuring- as if it's the answer that Rhy had been wanting.]

[anoshe]

[W O W]

You would murder more innocents, simply because you were told to? Don't be a fool.

[leashed]

Not a fool.

[He argues, though his tone is quiet.]

A soldier.

[anoshe]

A murderer.

[He corrects, quietly but firmly.]

I am certain that killing innocents is against all the decent rules of warfare.

[leashed]

I don't think warfare has decent rules.

[It's genuine, but he doesn't rebuke the title.]

I'm sorry to have disappointed you, mister Rhy.

[anoshe]

We often do not obey them, because we are cruel creatures, but if there is any justice in the world there must be something approaching rules. Like: do not kill innocents.

[He sighs.]

I am disappointed. But it's clear this is something trained into you.
