Event Log: Dreamwalker

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone!
What: The Dreamwalker event
Where: In your comfy bed and your sleepy head.
When: May 16th-26th
Warnings: Good dreams, weird dreams, bad dreams, straight-up nightmares. Please remember to tag for warnings in the header if things are going to be bad!

Have you been having trouble getting a good night's sleep? Tossing and turning, unable to rest those tired eyes? Or maybe you don't sleep at all, and never have. Not to worry! For a little while, you'll have no trouble at all falling asleep - in fact, as night falls, you'll find yourself overwhelmed with exhaustion whether you want to sleep or not. Lay down and rest your weary head, friends. Everyone could use a little extra sleep.

But what will your dreams bring? Something happy, images of a perfect day? Something hopeful, something you've wanted for a long time? Maybe you'll dream of anger, of the face of your worst enemy. Or maybe - just maybe - you'll have a horrific nightmare, and wake screaming, covered in cold sweat.

Not before others have time to see it, though. As you sleep, as you dream, the other residents of Hadriel, friends and enemies and people you've only met once, might find their way into your dreams. Or you might find your way into theirs - and then have to deal with someone's else's nightmares, or hopes, or anger. For the next ten nights, you'll find yourself either a host or a visitor, and no matter how you try you won't be able to stay awake once night falls.

Sweet dreams, Hadriel. Don't let the asshole fear gods bite.

[Gren ought to just sit back and let the little runt suffer, just watch all of this and see how it plays out. Hell, he's stronger than Bigby Wolf is right now, so he'd be justified in going over and holding him down and making him watch what happens next. It would be cruel of him, but Wolf is cruel too and he doesn't kid himself to think that he's any better.]

[Except that Gren knows what it's like to be motherless; he held the headless corpse of his own once, the end result of violence of his own making, and he knows very well that nothing quite cuts like it.]

[Something darts past him, heading for the body while the wolf runt is busy with others, and Gren decides in that split second.]

[He grabs the thing by its back legs with one monstrous hand and tosses it away; it squeals in pain when it strikes ground again. More come in to replace it, but he is much bigger than one lone wolf cub and a harder barrier to get by.]

[Bigby looks around in surprise at the sound of pain he didn't cause. The sight of Grendel is a bit of a shock for him, and his poor puppy mind takes a few moments to register that this big monster, oddly enough, isn't trying to rip his mother to shreds. Gren looks so much stronger than the shadowy figures chasing around the dark, the figures that... don't... quite seem real anymore.

His head tilts as he turns around, moving more slowly back to his mother's body. That's still detailed, but everything else is starting to feel... less. Another one still approaches his mother's body, but when he lunges at it, his snarling doesn't sound anywhere near as harmless as it did a few moments ago.]
