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.

Orion raises his eyebrows at his sister, sending her a querying look. "Yes, Rey. Are they expensive?"

Asshole.

Rey sighs, stuffing her mouth full of dumplings as she talks. Table manners, this one does not have. Orion doesn't seem remotely daunted by it, being so used to the unsightly spectacle.

"Not really. Some of them are free. Others you can just experience from a distance, or find higher ground where you can listen. Have done that before."

"That doesn't sound very economically ethical to me," Orion points out, though he's obviously just giving her shit for it.

"Like you're one to talk."

[dedikated]

Kate laughs, a short, sharp noise. At the exchange, at the suggestion, at all of it. "I've done that before. Band was crap." The first year away from home was an interesting time, if nothing else. She's not eating nearly as enthusiastically as Rey, but elbows on tables are a thing and manners are overrated anyway.

"My God," Orion feigns dismay. "I'm among criminals."

Rey scoffs and washes down her food with tea, now becoming lukewarm.

"Yes, the music was sometimes hit or miss," Rey replies, disregarding her brother's sardonic response.

[dedikated]

If only you knew the half of it, Orion. Kate drains her drink with the practice of someone who does that a lot.

"Like a test drive, innit?" She leans against the table, holding the glass by the rim. "Gotta try it out before you drop the money."

[circumitus]

Let's be real, he really has no room to judge.

"Didn't always have the money to drop on those events, either." Mostly because that required sleight of hand when taking funds from either her father or brother...

Not that Orion is aware of that. Though now he seems to be having his suspicions. He doesn't voice this, however, as he contemptuous bite of a pot sticker and chews slowly, his pale green eyes narrowing.

[dedikated]

Damn right.

Kate gives that comment a nod of agreement. It's a serious problem for people. She pushes the last of her food around before taking a bite more and pushing herself back from the table with an exhale. "That was great. I'm stuffed."
