Event Log: Dreamwalker

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.

[ The worried expression that Castiel wears exposes that yes, he did indeed see that. He's been standing here for a while, it seems, and just when he feels as though the relief and comfort of being in this safe place has settled back in, it turns again, to something untenable, shattering a small part away from his psyche.

He flinches, when his space is invaded by another, however, recognizing Shadow only a moment after he raises his head. How can he be here? This is Heaven, after all. It's not a place people can come and go from willy-nilly.

He frowns at him, at the question.

See what?

[ Castiel tensed, jerking his head up at the exclamation. It was disturbing his peace, peace he was trying desperately to cling to, and the more he was disturbed, the stronger those images became.

The shadow of the dead angel would linger this next time, for long enough that Shadow would be able to identify that it was definitely something, and not just a trick of the light thrown into the corner of his eye.

[ Castiel flinches immediately at the exclamation, and now everything begins to slip. Without needing to look away from them, the dead angels begin to reappear, flickering in and out, and as the angel tries to turn away from one, another appears, and another, until at last he simply reaches up and covers his eyes with both hands, sinking down toward the ground protectively.

He crouches there, trembling, pretending not to see them.
]

If I can't see them, they're not there. It didn't happen.

[ Of course, Castiel was so frightened, so caught up in the image of his fear, that he didn't respond to being touched straight away, didn't even acknowledge that Shadow was trying to move him.

After a few moments, he tilted his head up sharply, and all but glared at him.
]

You should get back. I'll only hurt you too.

[ So uh, about those dead angels... ]

They don't share our vision. They came here to try and fight me, and I can't have insubordination. This is Heaven; it's not a democracy.

[ As he speaks, Castiel's tone shifts from his own into a sibilant hiss, as though it were many different voices speaking at once. ]

A better world, what else? One where sinners are punished, and faith is rewarded. Is that too much to ask?

[ Inside his mind, the angel is faltering. That's what he wants too, but the Leviathan that control him have twisted things. Nothing is quite how it ought to be. Killing the angels...it made him feel sick inside, no matter how persistently the voices insisted that it was right. ]

Do you disagree with our methods?

Perhaps they would have been, if they ever did more than look down on everyone and everything they ever met. They're His broken toys. We have no use for them.

[ Another angel lands in the garden. Her wings, like Castiel's, are invisible, and she looks around in fear, and then back to him in defiance. Castiel steps forward, ignoring Shadow as he moves toward her. ] Arystiel. You're either with me or against me. Look around you. Make your choice wisely--to serve your new God, or die with your brothers and sisters. Which will it be?

You've betrayed your brothers and sisters, Castiel.

[ She looked at him defiantly, in earnest. ]

Please, you have to stop this. You have to stop all this killing. Whatever it is that's making you do this... It isn't you.

[ Castiel shook his head, slowly, eyes narrowing. Inside, he was begging for it to stop, but it didn't stop. He stepped closer to her, until they were almost level. ]

I remember when we were both newborn, playing with you beside the great ocean, and counting all the grains of sand on the beach. There weren't so many of them, even the oceans hadn't been there for very long. I thought that perhaps you, at least you, would choose to side with me. But I see I was wrong. I am so sorry, sister, but I have no room in Heaven for you, and those like you. I have no time for those who will not obey me absolutely.

[ She began to try and beg again, but Castiel clicked his fingers, and she cried out, white-gold light exploding inside her, spilling out of her eyes, her mouth, before she collapsed into the fresh space on the ground made for her. Black wings scorched the earth where she fell, leaving burn marks in the grass, and Castiel stood over her, still again. ]

Of course. Do you let your enemies live?

[ He turned toward Shadow, as though he was unsure why he was even there, perhaps for the first time. He gave his head a sharp, uncertain shake. ]

I can't allow them to undermine me. I'm doing this for Heaven, to fix it. It's all been broken for so long, and we have a plan. We know how.

There. That's much better, isn't it?

[ He took a single step closer, moving over a body lying on the floor, stepping in the shadow where wings had been. He tipped his head, looking curious, and cold. ]

A little bit of understanding. A bit of-- [ He gestured toward his chest. ] --respect.

Still, this is a private moment, don't you think? [ He raised his hand, placing it on Shadow's forehead to banish him forcefully from the dream. ] Get out.
