Event Post: Dreamwalker the Second

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the second half of the Dreamwalker Part Two event
Where: All over the city!
When: October 23rd-29th
Warnings: All different kinds of dreams falling under Fear, Love, Confusion, and Tranquility

It was over - at least, it seemed to be. The dreams stopped, and maybe you were a little disappointed, or maybe you were just relieved. Maybe, though, you noticed that only four of the gods had been influencing you. Sure, that might have been it, but was there really a chance of that? So, just for a few days, you slept (or didn't sleep) normally.

Until it started again. Those deep, unavoidable sleeps, taking you into vivid and emotional dreams. This time, the other four gods are getting in on the act. Expect some nightmares,
some embarrassingly schmoopy dreams - or dreams that don't make sense, or dreams that leave you calm and centered. You can't force these dreams to be anything but what they are,
so you might as well give in and enjoy the ride. Maybe it won't be so bad.

And of course, there are visitors this time, too. Just when you thought it might be safe to have a candy-colored dream about your secret crush, well... turn around and they might be standing right there, wondering what the hell is going on. By now, people know what to expect, but that doesn't give them any better control over things. Let's hope there's no good blackmail material in these dreams.

Honestly, I'm not sure. It's rare, but there are a few varieties, too. Apparently.

[ Who knows anything about nugalopes? The answer is 'no one.' ]

A nug in its regular iteration is disturbing enough, but if you make it - bloody massive... well.

[pocketspa]

[He snickers, not mirthful, just teasing.]

And you saw this fucked up hand beast and went, yup, I'm gonna ride it. Put a saddle on, I'm gonna have a whole go at this.

[Man, maybe that's why he's fond of her. She's Magnus, but less... well, maybe with more sense. But not enough to not do this, which is wonderful.]

[closerift]

More or less. [ Behold, the Herald of Andraste. ] It seemed somehow impressive at the time. No one else is riding them.

[ AND PROBABLY WITH GOOD REASON ]

You should see some of the other things in the stables.

[pocketspa]

Yeah, I got my own binicorn. Plus, he's magic so I don't have to, uh, take care of him or whatever.

[He looks back towards the nugalope, gritting his teeth a bit.]

Would not wanna be the guy who takes care of whatever horrors that thing shits.

[closerift]

"Binicorn?" [ wha ] ... Sounds much easier than the lot we've got to deal with.

[ What with their... needs. ]

Right, neither would I. It's good to be the person in charge that way. [ Sorry, Dennet. ] I can only imagine-... not that I want to.

[pocketspa]

Oh yeah, def. Not goin' there.

[He stretches a bit, and then swings the Umbra Staff so it rests over his shoulder.]

Well! You got your thing. So I'm gonna be outie, and try not to let the thought of this thing, uh, haunt my waking world too. Even if it probably will and I'm gonna have to sue you for damages.

[closerift]

Sue me? [ What does that even mean, bro? ] ... Well, do what you will. I'm going to hopefully wake up and have a much more normal dream next time.

[ Because, she realizes now, this is a dream. And as she does, it starts to fade away until it's all gone.

Good night for now, nugalope. ]

[pocketspa]

[He's sure as fuck not going to explain. But he's thankful- this dream has been much better than others he's had this month.]

Samesies. See ya 'round.

[And he wakes up.]
