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...

[Newt sighs. Okay, she has a point. But it can't be that simple.]

It's not like the world is neatly divided into good and bad people, Alphys. [He doesn't know her world, sure, and it seems pretty different from the setup he's used to, but that kind of thing has to be true across the board.] Maybe you're not that good, I don't know, but you're not bad, either. Bad people don't feel bad about making mistakes. You're clearly pretty upset about this, ergo you're not a bad person. Not in my opinion, anyway. [And he considers his opinion to be fact, so.]

Look, if you really want to make things right, there has to be a way to do that. You're smart. You'll figure something out.

[You'll figure something out. Will she? Has she ever?

She wants to. She wants to believe in that part of her. But can she?

She'll try to believe in him. That's easier. Believing in him means something.

Alphys sniffles a bit, letting her head drop again and wiping some tears off with her sleeve.]

I... I'll try. I want to make it right for them. I d-don't want to forget. They deserve that much.

[completelycrazy]

Yeah, see? There you go. [It's good enough for him. He claps a hand on her shoulder reassuringly.]

You can turn this around. Or, yeah. At least try. You just... You just do what you can, y'know? And you're capable of a plenty.

[He has enough wherewithal to know it's not a great time to point out that she's already accomplished this much. Yeah, it went horribly south, but... The amount of know-how it would've taken to get here in the first place? That's damned impressive.

But, uh, Newt has a feeling she's not in the mood for compliments on the matter. He'll just leave it at that.]

[sciencelizard]

[Alphys doesn't quite have the power to smile. But she feels it. His support. She has to move forward, somehow. So she nods, and as she speaks, the sound of rushing water builds louder, and louder.]

Hopefully, it w-won't all... be forgotten.

[And out of nowhere, a wave crashes through the side of the hall, filling everything with cold, dark water. And as soon as it hits, the dream ends, the both of them waking up in their respective beds.]
