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.

Sit down before you bleed to death.

[ Some vestigial memory informs him that he's probably more capable of handling this than anybody. He skirts the table to push Hakkai toward a chair, and his hands are perfectly steady. ]

[Hakkai bats at Gojyo's hands weakly as he bleeds out.]

Answer me!

[The edges of the dream start to get eaten away by shadows. As Hakkai's blood begins to drip onto the floor, his heart racing, fear and terror permeating through the space around them. The darkness is like his mind closing in on them. His quickening pulse is audible as it resonates through the house.]

[inappropriatelaughter]

Shut up.

[ The heartbeat reminds him—there was something with his head. This is what it sounded like.

He grabs a fistful of Hakkai's shirt and pushes him into the chair, leaning down to talk, right in his face, impossible to ignore. ]

Listen to me: there is no why not. So you killed people! So what. So have I. People die, and those guys were assholes. I'm not afraid of you 'cause I know you.

[Hakkai is forced to look at Gojyo full in the face. His deep green eyes see nothing but crimson all around him. The darkness encloses around them, but doesn't engulf them.

Suddenly things start to make more sense. He begins to become more aware.]

Gojyo...?

[But he had killed him. But he was here...right now.

He is still bleeding out quickly, the dream begins to fade.

He smiles weakly.]

You know me...
