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.

[A shape appears, humanoid, approaching Kate through she snow. It wears Emily's clothes (in tatters, really), and it has Emily's birthmarks on its face, but otherwise, it's full wendigo, and its teeth are bared.

Somehow, it knows where Kate is. Maybe it smells the blood from her bite, or maybe it's been watching her this entire time, leading her here.

Either way, it gives one short, loud scream before it leaps at Kate, knocking her flat on her back. It raises its arm, then swings its claws down to slice open Kate's throat.

Kate wakes in the moment before the wendigo that once was Emily kills her.]

[ Is she human now? Well- humanoid, she supposes? Because Kate doesn't feel entirely like herself, like something inside is clawing to get out and take over.

Whatever it is doesn't get the chance, because suddenly she's knocked down and--

Her throat is okay. Shit fucking--

Kate grabs her throat, checking that it really was the case.

How could any dream be that... vivid? So hard and real that she almost expects her throat torn in two upon waking? ]
