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...

► 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.

[It happens too fast for Lup to react. Just like that, Alphys falls over the edge and the dream is over, leaving Lup gasping out for breath she doesn't even need.

It takes her a little time to calm down after that nightmare, to float around to each room in her home and check in on her family, sticking her head through their bedroom doors to make sure they're all safely sleeping. But within the hour, she shoots Alphys a quick text. It isn't much, it isn't coddling and sweet or full of ancient wisdom about the importance of life. But Lup has to say something, to make sure that her friend knows.]

i need u around

[She isn't asleep. She doesn't know how to get back to sleep, after something like that, and insomnia has taken hold quickly. She's been trying to stave it off with old episodes of Mew Mew, but it's still... not great. That she's going to have to be accountable for this. So few people in the city even know about-- about all that, and it feels like a lifetime away now that it's been more than a year. But most people don't have to be accountable for their deaths. That sort of stops being their problem once they're...

Well, that would just be her luck, wouldn't it?

She's still in that pit of worry when Lup texts her, and because she's feeling truly masochistic, she replies.]

im sorry
you shouldnt have seen that
it was
a long time ago
far away

knock it off alphy
i dont care about that shit
just

[it takes lup a little longer to piece together just what she wants to say. shes never been the best at this shit]

you matter
dont forget it sis

[She stays glued to her phone as she waits for the texts to come in. When they do, she just... presses it to her chest, close. Alphys is usually the first to admit when she's crying, but for once, she has the chance not to look so pathetic. Not to look like she's just giving up.

Eventually, she responds, when she can wipe the water from her eyes.]

okay i
okay

thank you

if you want me to explain i will
its
its not a good story though

whatever you want sis
ill listen as long as you feel like talking

i dont know if iw ant to but
you deserve to know
about me
about everything

im not a good person
and i can try to do better and be better but im still
ive ssstill hurt ppeople

im sorry
im
im sorry

alphys knock it off.

everyone makes fucking mistakes
it doesnt mean you dont deserve to live and get over them
you dont owe anyone shit
you are worth more than your fuck ups
and you sure dont need to apologize to me

[She stares at the words for a while, before she can really reply.

Lup sure does remind her of Undyne, sometimes.]

... okay

i wish the gods wouldnt do this sort of thing
i thought i was over this
this isnt even the first time
they just... keep finding it

thanks for being there though
dont... hold it against yourself i guess
that you couldnt help

[Alphys isn't the only one who hates all of this, but there's just so little that Lup can actually do to fix things. Taako and her have never dealt with their emotions and hurt in ways that could ever be considered healthy.]

im always here for you nerd
were friends
nothing could change that
nothing.

[Seeing Alphys go like that will haunt the woman, sure, but she'll shake the blame off easily with Alphys here, breathing and alive, just a call away.]

its late but wanna go out tomorrow?? swimming or something fun
i mean i cant
but i can like float around in the water with you
just you and me

[She wants to make some horribly macabre joke about where they were, about getting her near water, but there's no need for that. Don't worry her. Be nice.]

yeah
if youre not busy
id like that

good
glad thats settled

[nothing is really fixed and maybe Lup will worry about the other woman just a touch more than before, but it's all that she can ask for like this. Lup will wait for the real bullying to begin once they're face-to-face again.]

you good or should i pop on over?

[Yes, aggressively love on her Lup, she needs it.]

im gonna... try to go back to sleep
hope this doesnt happen again lol
but ill see you tomorrow ok?
you rest too
somehow

tomorrow were gonna party hard

[prepare to be crushed under her love]

[Okay don't kill her tho]

def
see u then
<3
