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.

Laughing? No. Maybe it was Cabeswater.

[Because a laughing forest is entirely normal. In a dream like this, though, anything would seem normal, and Adam is enough part of it that he doesn't even question that. He doesn't question Sam's presence here, either, though if he were more aware of himself he certainly would.

Even in Hadriel, he is always connected to Cabeswater, to the ley line. But normally no one can see it but him - or Ronan, in his dreams. Having anyone else there should be impossible.]

You can come sit down for awhile if you want. You must have come a long way.

[hollowly]

( cabeswater? he's never heard that word before, but it has to have something to do with the seemingly enchanted trees around them, the very essence of which bleeds into everything in the vicinity. the air, the ground, the whispers of words unsaid lingering all about him and though he finds himself confused by it all, there's something peaceful about it.

he doesn't feel in any danger, here. which, for a dream, should go without saying – but it goes deeper than that, if he really thinks about it. something that he can't quite put his finger on.

but at the invitation, he does move a little closer, first crouching and inevitably making himself comfortable enough to sit cross-legged on the ground, eyes still taking in the sheer beauty of the scenery around him, something that leaves him both in awe and reticently speechless. )

Not really – I don't think so? ( he doesn't quite remember how far he'd come, but it doesn't feel like a long way. ) But thanks. It's really nice here.

Hmm.

[Adam doesn't really question that. It seems like Sam must have come a long way - it seems like Cabeswater is maybe not something that he would ever normally see. But Adam knows the forest has a way of changing things, of playing games with time and space. And maybe on some level he's aware it's a dream, that Sam really didn't have to come far at all.]

Yeah. It's really nice. It's - part of me. Or I guess it's more like I'm part of it.

[Or pieces of him belong to it, at least. It's hard to explain.]

Do you have anything like that?
