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.

We could go dancing. [Maketh grins a little, still holding the new rifle. She isn't sure what an Eden is, but that doesn't concern her. This is a good moment. The way these people move around her and Lilith feels natural and practiced, as if it's been done a thousand times before. Even the armor feels just as it ought to, a comforting weight.] I'd like that.

[cashlin]

We can and will go dancing.

[Lilith decides against the rest of the contents of the chest and reaches out to touch Maketh's shoulder, as if to gently usher her towards the door.]

Hey, there's tons more weapons here! What're we doing sticking to one room? Let's keep going.

[mismanagement]

[Maketh feels herself smiling and lets Lilith take her to the next room. This -- this is all right. It feels safe, has protocols in place that she understands for some - but not all - of what will happen.

Some of it is wild. And that's all right too.

She bumps her elbow against Lilith's, playful.] If we want to sell it, we do have to carry them out. And no bombs this time.

[cashlin]

["'Ey, that one wasn't me."
"Come on, that was once."] Uh, yeah-- once is still too many, Brick!

[Mordecai, perched on the edge of a weapons chest and fiddling with the scope of a new sniper rifle, snickers; Brick rolls his eyes and shuffles over to a locker on the other end of the room, mumbling to himself.]

Hey, we got it covered. We drove a Runner over, didn't we? [She grins, lopsided.] Fit as much crap in there as is wise, and then some. It's not the Vault, but with rare Atlas tech like this? What we'll get off it'll be close.

[mismanagement]

[Maketh laughs, feeling the smile spreading across her face. These people know her and she trusts them in turn. There is no doubt, no hesitation - they have her back and Maketh has theirs in turn.] Your talent for improvisation knows no bounds. And we're going to make a good profit on this. Much more than the last one.

[cashlin]

Heh. You know me, I'm all about thinking on my feet. [She turns to an upright locker and starts rifling through it-- some extra ammunition in here, they'll probably need it on the trip back.]

But yeah, we really hit jackpot here. If I didn't like doing this stuff so much I'd take a break after this haul. Longer than a vacation, I mean.

[mismanagement]

And I do appreciate that about you.

[Indeed, about everyone here.]

Perhaps someday we will.

[It doesn't seem strange to Maketh to say we.]

The universe is a vast place. There are many things to see and do. Perhaps even more interesting than this!
