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.

I mean, yeah, why not? [Call it whatever will get you more readers, buddy. Makes no difference to Emily.

The phone at her desk goes off. Emily turns in her seat to glance at it, then checks the clock on the wall to the side of the window.] Can't believe our time is up already. Did you get what you need? You can always try and schedule some more time if you want.

[She's usually busy, so who knows? Doesn't matter. Life is good. Life is amazing.]

[torrefied]

Yeah, you gave me a lot to work with.

[Mello feigns a friendly smile and stands up, closing up the notebook and tucking it away inside his jacket.]

Thanks for your time.

You're welcome. [Emily's smile back is much more sincere. She stands and holds out her hand.] I can't walk you out, but someone will help you if you need directions. Good luck with your story.

[torrefied]

[He gives her hand a quick shake - he knows how ordinary people act and can fall into playing that role when necessary, when it suits his purposes. It still does.]

Thanks. I like to think it's more about talent than luck, but I suppose you'll be the judge when you read it.

They wouldn't have assigned you this story if you couldn't hack it.

[The vote of confidence is less about his skill and more about the fact that a story about her is bound to succeed.

Her dream, her rules.]
