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.

[There's nothing like playing along to make a nightmare really perfect. But then, this isn't quite a nightmare - it's an anger dream, it's everything Josh wanted to do to his so-called friends after they caused his sister's death. Johanna's not implicated in that, so if she wants to play along? Well, that's just fine.

There's a scream of terror, and someone skitters backward, just barely out of the way of that axe. It's not clear who it is - someone unfamiliar to Johanna, certainly, but not quite one of Josh's friends, either. A little of both. Something they can both be angry at.]

Get away! Are you insane?

[ Johanna laughs at the scream. Pitiful. At least they managed to get out of the way. She swings her axe around and around and around, enjoying the rage, the power. Two hunger games and a round of tortute have made Johanna thrive in this kind of environment. ]

Yeah, I guess that's the proper way to say pretty fucked up, huh? I think you should be the one getting away.

[The person - whoever they are - turns and runs. Johanna is frightening enough, and she clearly has no compunctions about murder. Around her, the house almost seems to laugh. Things skitter in the shadows, the temperature drops, the lights flicker eerily. She fits right in.

Josh isn't there, exactly, but this is his dream. Being the puppet master, taking out his rage on those who he feels deserve it - it's all just the way he wants it, and he's perfectly happy to share it with her.]
