Event Post: Dreamwalker the Second

[hadrielmods]

THE RUNDOWN

Things have been pretty wild lately, both for the gods and for all you poor residents of Hadriel. So it should be no surprise that the gods have decided to put on an event that gives them all a chance for a little power - and it helps that when they did it before, it worked pretty well. No one was even that mad! Just the usual mad levels. That means it's time for the second Dreamwalker event.

How does this work? Well, a lot like the first one, only split in two so all the gods can get in on it. From October 14th-20th, your dreams will be influenced by Delight, Rage, Sorrow, and Hope. After that, you get a couple days to rest, and then Fear, Love, Confusion, and Tranquility take over and invade your dreams from October 23rd-29th. It doesn't matter if you try to stay up, or even if you normally don't sleep at all - at the same time late each evening, a wave of exhaustion will come over you and you'll fall fast asleep.

Once you've fallen asleep, you will either be a Host or a Visitor. Hosts will be 'touched' by one of the gods and have corresponding dreams. Visitors will enter into the dreams of a Host and the two of them will experience the dream together. Hosts can be influenced by a maximum of one god each night.

THE DETAILS

Each character can be a Host or a Visitor as many times as you like, but they can only be one each night, for a total of seven nights in each week. This means you can be a Visitor for five nights and a Host for two, or a Host for all seven nights, with no visiting. Whichever you like! Visitors may visit multiple dreams per night, while Hosts can have multiple visitors per night. It's up to you guys to decide if you want your characters to be aware of repeating dreams or not.

Likewise, each Host can be touched by a single god as many times as they like, with a rule of one dream per hosting night. Five hosting nights, with five Delight dreams? Go ahead! Seven hosting nights with three Fear dreams and four Rage dreams? Have at it! And during the day, everyone goes about their lives as normal - unless they really need to talk about these dreams with someone.

As far as the dreams themselves are concerned, here are a few ideas of the types of dreams that each god would influence:

Delight: What pleases you? Sunny days, picnics in meadows, your favorite food made exactly how you like it... where will you be happiest? What are your favorite things?
Rage: What makes you angry? It could be a dream about someone winning something you wanted more than anything, something completely unfair, or that person whose lights you want to punch out.
Sorrow: What makes you sad? The death of someone you love, a great regret, a missed opportunity? It could be all the miseries of the world, or just very personal miseries.
Hope: What do you want? Even if it's not possible- a dead friend or family member to return to you, winning endless riches, or succeeding in a long quest.
Fear: What are you afraid of? Typical nightmares of monsters chasing you, falling forever, running from something? Worst fears and most terrifying memories are all applicable as well. Dreams of Fear's previous events are also possibilities!
Love: What, or who, do you love? This doesn't need to be romantic love, but it can be. Your parents, your best friend, your boyfriend - maybe even your ex. Or something more ephemeral: a hobby, a feeling, a time in your life.
Confusion: What you fucks you up? An answer you've never gotten, something that might linger in the back of your mind still. Something that twists your thoughts into tangles. Losing something (maybe yourself), getting tricked, being manipulated.
Tranquility: What calms you down? Your home, the quiet presence of a friend, finally getting to rest. When was the most content you've ever felt, and what caused it? Calmer than happiness, more subtle than love.

These aren't hard guidelines or anything, either- they're just suggestions, if you're having trouble coming up with something!

As a final note, opting out of the dream event is A-ok! Your character does not have to be affected by the exhaustion waves and/or dreamsharing. You also don't need to have threads every night; both handwaving and opting out on certain nights is just fine! The gods are definitely capable of overlooking a few characters.

THE OVERVIEW

► October 14th: The first set of dreams begin: Delight, Rage, Sorrow, and Hope
► October 20th: The first set of dreams end
► October 23rd: The second set of dreams begin: Fear, Love, Confusion, and Tranquility
► October 29th: The second set of dreams end

Fingon

[utulien_aure]

I have four dreams planned for Fingon at the moment, though I might trade out one of them if I can come up with something lighter. Or at least less depressing.

Sorrow: The Battle of Sudden Flame, or That Time The God of Evil Decided To Set Everything on Fire With Dragons and Balrogs and Things. Expect copious bloodshed, lots of things on fire, and Fingon's dad having a mental breakdown and deciding to suicide charge Satan. Good times all around.

Hope: The Rescue of Maedhros from the peak of Thrangorodrim; featuring jagged peaks, ridiculously abused POWs, inappropriate places to bring a harp, Giant Eagles, and a lot more blood and severed limbs than a Hope dream should really have. Whether anyone else will recognize it as such is really up for debate.

Fear: Some say the world will end in Fire, some say in Ice. Welcome to the Helcaraxe, a perpetually frozen land bridge that makes Siberia in winter look like Hawaii. The dangers here are endless: freezing to death, starving to death, falling off jagged cliffs and into falling water.... The people here don't bother screaming anymore when one of their companions meets a grisly fate. It's a waste of energy, and besides, at this point they're half-expecting it.

Confusion: The Kinslaying at Alqualonde, or That Time You Thought People Were Murdering Your Relatives But It Turns Out They Kinda Started It. Yet more blood and horror to be found here, as well as really ineffective killing because no one's had to kill an actual person before and they're probably not entirely sure how it's done.

[hot_mes]

Ugh the Bragollach, the Helcaraxe, the kinslaying...so many good choices.

Er, I mean, sorry for your lots, Fingon.

[so_dark_a_road]

Can Curufin come along on the Rescue of Maedhros? He's always felt like he should have been there.

Some of those other scenarios are tempting, too. But I suppose I mustn't be greedy. XD

[bythewaves]

so many choices, so little time...

[stonebird]

Cel will be at Fingon's side for Sorrow and Fear, I think. Sansa would follow him on Hope. Anakin is all for Confusion. :3

Harlan & Newt (cws added to each dream as needed)

[ghostlocked]

awwwww yes this is gonna be a cluster. newt and harlan will both be visiting other people's dreams, but i think for my own sanity i will mostly be tagging out with newt? harlan has some big and serious dreams happening so he'll be mostly... dealing with those LOL and newt will be free to roam.

harlan

sorrow - (cw: animal abuse/death) harlan used to trap and kill garden pests when he was a kid, sooo he's gonna dream about killing a rabbit. :( as a kiddo. while having a sad. get hype sorrow you are about to get some primo emotion food from hh.

tranquility - another kid dream! harlan used to sneak downstairs at night to watch star trek reruns. this dream will come with potential child abuse cws since his mom... probably won't show up but her presence is Looming in the shadows. BUT it can also just be watching star trek with smol!hh.

confusion - (cw: self harm, torture, murder, blood, just generally a lot of bad news...) this dream will prob be closed to close cr? if anyone really wants to get in on it i'm totally down to open that gate, but i'd prefer to plot it out a lil beforehand since it's Heavy. harlan is gonna dream about his ex convincing him to torture a girl that his ex had kidnapped. he did participate for a bit, but then freaked out and locked himself in the bathroom until his ex eventually killed the girl. none of the violence will happen onscreen; the dream is just hh locked in the bathroom and not being able to stop what he knows is coming.

love - nnnot sure on the details yet, but harlan is gonna dream about julie, an 11-year-old girl his team saved on one of their jobs. it will be cute and happy since the rest of his dreams are Questionable. >.>

newt

delight - (cw: secondhand embarrassment, tweens) newt is!! dreaming about a concert!!! he was in a band (called... the black velvet rabbits....... he's so fucking lame oh my god) when he was a kiddo, so he's gonna be PUTTING ON A SWEET SHOW come jam with him or be one of his groupies since he's def a rock star in this scenario. 8)

hope - in pacrim, newt builds a pons system (the thing that lets you do the drifties) out of garbage, so he'll be dreaming about doing that in his lab back at the shatterdome. it's a hope dream because newt is doing a science to save the world!!!! no one on earth has more hope than him.

fear - hey kaiju are really scary??? newt's gonna dream about otachi trying to get at him, but it'll be a bit different than how it goes down in the movie. i was thinking more like the mako flashbacks? newt playing hide and seek with otachi in an evacuated hong kong. it's just him and his kaiju girlfriend. this will be fine and not scary at all!!!!

[trashmouths]

I'm here for Newt's little punk-ass concert, for sure! Richie can make fun of the music (even though he'll probably like it, especially if they're bad) when they wake, too, once he figures out who the kid is.

Celebrimbor, Anakin & Sansa ~

[handofsilver]

Celebrimbor ALL THE HAPPINESS THIS TIME AROUND FOR HIM.

Tranquility: The most peaceful time of Cel's life was, without a doubt, his childhood. He will dream of his younger self surrounded by loving, adventurous, crafty uncles and a bright father. (And by "younger self", I mean he will practically be a baby by his people's standards.) Deal with the cute.

Love: He will dream of his wife next - and his daughter. For a time, before Annatar's interference, all he knew was love and the family he had built for himself after Galadriel broke his heart. This dream will feature a very proud father and an adoring husband (because, in my head, his wife is like his best friend too). You will get cavities from this dream, beware.

Anakin

Fear: Anakin will dream of Obi-Wan and Padmé...making out? Worse? His mind can imagine very awful things for his love/ego. Expect rejection and murderous thoughts/dream actions.

Hope: He will see himself as an emperor, ruling over a peaceful galaxy. He will also have his toddler-sized twins with him. That's right, no life support suit and scary breathing.

Sansa

Confusion: She will never know why her family had to die. She will dream of them, but it won't be happy. They will either ignore her presence or blame her for what happened to them. She will know how ghosts feel.

Rage: She will find the strength - physically and otherwise - to tear down Joffrey Baratheon, Petyr Baelish, Cersei Lannister... You get the picture. She might even be a wolf in this dream. Claws and teeth work well on enemies.

[so_dark_a_road]

Celebrimbor's childhood, without a doubt! Curufin would love to revisit that time!

I was wondering if he could somehow be a part of the Star Wars universe, too? -- maybe as a jedi (Sith?) who is part of Anakin's entourage?

And maybe he could help Sansa go to war against her enemies?

magnus burnsides ( taz lategame spoilers )

[armcollector]

soooo im taking it slow right now so im only going to do a few tag ins for this event so!!! if you want magnus anywhere, (arwen voice) come and claim him

i also kiiiinda wanna do a toplevel with dreams for others cause this seems like it would probably not get too many tag ins for me to deal with, if it does, ill fucking build that bridge when i get to it i guess.

sorrow because we definitely need more people to be privy to magnus' trauma, surprise!!! its ravens roost!!!! or rather the empty ruins of it. come explore a ghost town. the city is half collapsed, the pillars holding the craftsmen's corridor up in the sky no longer standing, and the terrain is treacherous, the roads falling apart atop the city's natural stone perch. also why not throw two memories in one, there are a lot of mushrooms emitting toxic spores around here. be careful not to breathe in too much -- magnus knows what happens if you do that pretty well, doesn't he?

hope or love hey, if you didnt get to meet julia during that one event -- here she is!!!! julia will be making an appearance here, as magnus' greatest wish that he's long given up on is a quiet life in the countryside with julia and a whole herd of dogs, just, you know. stupid domestic bliss. steven the human as well as steven the fish will be around as well. and like.... random dream npc versions of all his friends and found family. there might be a dream angus adoption process involved, who even knows. oh wait fuck theres also going to be a giant jellyfish full of galaxies yeah dont forget that his names fisher and hes a good voidfish

fear ever wanted to find out what its like to be consumed by a world-eating darkness? magnus knows that pretty well, actually! this isn't even dream artistic license, this is his literal life that he experienced -- or, more accurately, his death. come fight to save a bunch of sapient animals alongside him, only its going to be pretty obviously a fruitless endeavor, as more and more of them get consumed, as more of him gets consumed, until everything becomes a part of the Hunger.

other than that, magnus will be visiting on other nights!

[survivorsguilt]

OK YES HI OK!!!!!! i'd fucking love ellie to show up and meet julia that'd be amazing honestly

Oscar

[onlyanautomaton]

Oscar doesn't sleep, so for the duration of each part of the event, he will enter a sort of suspended mode. His "dreams" will involve vivid recollections of his past experiences. Visitors will actually be viewing his data records, in a way.

Delight: This will take place in one of his data collections. It will revolve around the subject of his travel companion and very dear friend, Kate Walker. Anyone visiting this "dream" will be shown every interaction he's ever had with her if they stick around long enough (the interactions won't be described in excessive detail, unless that's the road you want to go down), ranging from the day they met right up until the moment before he was brought to Hadriel. It will be a visual experience for a visitor, with no audio at all, but they will somehow be aware that someone is viewing this data collection with them. They will be able to interact with Oscar even though they won't be able to see who they're talking to; thanks to a sprinkling of god magic, he won't see anything amiss in the situation, so he should be at ease.

Hope: Reliving a memory of one of Oscar's past experiences. The visitor will enter and immediately find they are in the driver's compartment of a train along with Oscar--the driver--as he appeared in his former body, a young woman, and a bear-seel doggo. The passenger car is gone, the train's going fast, it's dark out and it looks like it's freezing (welcome to Russia's Far North!), but the visitor won't be affected by the weather. They will only be able to interact with Oscar, and it will be as though your character is along for the ride. He won't feel like the visitor's appearance is out of the ordinary.

I'm still hashing stuff out for the second phase of the event, but it will most likely involve a Tranquility "dream" at least, which will consist of your character being a passenger on his train! One could grow to feel quite at home here.

[so_dark_a_road]

Can Curufin come along for the train ride? Either the Hope or the Tranquility one? That sounds like fun. XD

Henry Percy

[hotspurred]

I'll be offering a few for my knight:

Delight: I hope you like eating, because this one will be a never-ending feast at the Earl of Northumberland's high table. Visitors will find themselves dressed in late 14th century noble fashion. Since it's a dream, there's no such thing as too much food or wine. Guess who misses fine dining?

Sorrow: This dream is empty, but for Henry and Iamarl, who walk. Or, more accurately, stagger along, bracing each other. There is no sound but their breathing. As they walk, Iamarl deteriorates, increasingly struggling to walk and labouring to breathe... until she cannot walk anymore and collapses. She breathes her last moment later, and the silence is suddenly deafening. The dream then loops again.
Any visitors will immediately be struck with a bone-deep exhaustion that feels like they've far exceeded their limits twice over. Every step they take will feel like an impossible task, but there is a looming sense that standing still would be worse.

Love: Do you know what medieval knights love? Jousting. And if you've talked with Henry much, you've probably heard him speak of Prince Edward. This dream combines them both, and him and Edward are having a friendly but highly competitive joust.

Fear: It's Hadriel. Just the same as it ever is, except one difference: now everyone is elderly. So many familiar faces, all old. People who are old presently are now positively ancient. And still everyone is trapped here, stuck dealing with the same old mess, their lives wasted.

[dedikated]

i wanna get in on one of his week 1 dreams but idk which.... /reaches

lup (taz spoilers, yo)

[restinglichface]

Rage --> aka the Boss Fight

Dream combat here we go! Your character will fall into a small chamber and immediately be confronted by Lup's spectral form. She'll throw a few accusations your way and no matter how you answer, she'll launch straight into combat. Of course people can run or attempt to peacefully convince her otherwise, but I'd really love to play up with the idea of combat within dreams, getting a bit wild and making sure that Lup doesn't just incinerate whoever she's fighting against. Gonna go super loose and fun with this one, I'm happy to chat through the combat beforehand too!

Hope --> Lichdom

What are liches made out of? Happy memories, raw magical power, and a pair of lovers ready for death! This will be more of a memory, a retelling of canon events with a few dream additions added in, that follows Lup and her boyfriend going through the ritual to become liches. For Lup, this is a surprisingly hopeful memory, but visitors are encouraged to find this dream more disturbing and frightening than anything, as it is a fairly unsettling process.

Sorrow --> That one time Lup fucked up

Fire. Just lots and lots of fire. The Grand Relic (regular object infused with SUPER magic) that Lup created ended up killing thousands on accident, leveling entire towns with it's ultra powerful flames, regularly leaving no survivors. Still playing around with this one, but Hadriel is going to go up in flames again and Lup is going to be devastated with the results. Plenty of opportunities to toss in references to characters currently in the game being trapped in the blaze.

And that's it! Let me know if you want something else or a closed log just for your character. I'm more than happy to plot together!

[dedikated]

gimme rage, now.

i love writing combat cries.

Kyna Midha (cw for violence and suicide, oops)

[evocation]

SO i've just got two for this one!

For Sorrow, Kyna is going to dream about her dad. There are two sides to this, because one of them is pretty intense—her dad got himself possessed by a demon, so Kyna is going to be dreaming about that. The big one is that after Kyna, Tucker and Harlan managed to exorcise the demon out of him, it took his magic, too, and he killed himself inside Kyna's apartment, SO, she'll be dreaming about trying to save him, or if you want something less terrible, she can dream about dealing with her possessed dad in general.

For Love, Kyna is going to dream about magic and her brother! 13 year old Kyna was a little shit who tried spells she really wasn't supposed to be trying all by herself, which meant that she wrecked a lot of shit (shorting out appliances, setting things on fire that really shouldn't be on fire, etc.), and her older brother used to cover for her. Kyna misses her brother a lot? Gross.

Annnd of course, if you want anything else, we can plan for any of the other ones too!

[restinglichface]

NEED ME THAT SWEET BROTHER DREAM

Will Graham

[feelslikeimspilling]

(cw: violence, gore & cannibalism)
Will is going to have all of the dreams available because lets be honest, he's an emotional mess! One dream for each God, for the rest of the time, he'll be a visitor. So, his line up will look something like this;

Delight:
Dogs! All the dogs, puppies, big and small! Dogs of all kinds! He's going to be surrounded by dogs, walking them, feeding them, grooming them, laying on the floor and wriggling around with them!

Rage:
Will is going to relive all the sick and twisted feelings that he felt in season one when he was working with the FBI. He's going to dream of actively killing, dismembering, honoring and devouring some of the victims whose killers he investigated, as well as some of his own that he plotted and planned when trying to convince Hannibal he was just like him. This dream is going to be very graphic and nasty, not for the squeamish.

Sorrow:
This dream will slowly be flooding, like a ship with a hole in it! As a visitor, you will notice the floor is water that will slowly rise throughout the night until yourself and Will are literally treading water and being pulled under by it. It will take place in various location, however, there will always be cell bars stopping you from moving on. Will is going to be trying and failing to convince everyone he is not a killer, losing his only few friends and work colleagues until finally he sees dead!Abigail, pulling him down into the water to drown by his own guts (Thanks to Hannibal disemboweling him!)

Hope:
Okay so, we all know Will is bad at Hope, he has none, or well not much of it anymore. So this dream is kind of the Sword of Damocles for him. For this dream, you can join Will on his journey along a dark and painful road, barefoot and in just his boxers much like when he used to sleepwalk. There will be a huge chain coming from the scar on his abdomen with a long length between it and a coffin he must pull behind him (see Gojira's Vacuity video for reference. cw: blood & nudity ) Inside the coffin will be various things throughout the dream, things Will cherishes or loathes, things he hope won't be the end of him. Such as Hannibal's face mask, the Wendigo, Alanna after she was pushed from the window, Jack Crawford yelling orders at him or sharing a meal with Hannibal.

Fear:
This dream will be quite simple. It will show Will progressing into the Nightmare Stag that haunts him. It will start with Will growing antlers, feathery black masses on his shoulders and finally walking on all fours, shedding his skin and becoming the Stag. Once he is the Stag, Will is going to destroy everything and everyone he loves.

Love:
Come join Will on his homemade boat! He's going to be very proud of it and wants to share it with you! Nothing but warm feel good feelings in this dream, something of a rarity for Will... The boat will finally dock in Florence, Italy where you can either just watch him go around the museums and galleries or join him! I won't lie, this dream has the possibility to be very romantic (especially for certain cannibalistic doctors) it just depends on if you take advantage of the opportunity or not!

Confusion:
This dream will be very confusing for visitors as Will won't be himself in it at all! In fact, he'll look, sound and act more like Hannibal Lecter. This is because a huge part of Will's internal confusion is that he's struggling to know where he ends and Hannibal begins. He feels the two of them are blurring and this confuses him.

Tranquility:
Time to go fishing! Only this fishing spot is amazing! The water looks almost like liquid clouds, there's a beautiful cello playing in the background and the fish all look wonderful, vivid colors~ The more you catch the more stonned you'll feel. After fishing, you can join Will in the waters, they'll be as soothing as a hot spring and you'll be able to see millions of different sealife swim below you!

Re: Will Graham

[am_i_a_monster]

There are so many of these that Abigail could visit. Maybe she could visit the sorrow one? Or fear or confusion? Or if you wanted something lighter for them, the delight dream?

Atem

[puzzlingly]

As an initial note for everyone who he will be visiting and for anyone who may visit Atem's dreams, he will not look like he currently does in game right now, in most of his dreams (not all, maybe), he will look like his ancient self, just because it is who he truly is. I'm sorry these are the gayest examples I could find, yep they are the same person, so you can see the differences.

Rage
Gonna have Atem doing some Pharaoh stuff, judging bandits, general "evil" people. Look, Atem isn't exactly prone to rage (unless your name is Bakura and you're breaking the damn rules!), but I couldn't fit this anywhere else. He'll get serious, he'll get a little mad because these people trying to mess with the peace they have fought so hard to obtain, and he ultimately decides who lives and who dies... So, Rage. Either the visitor will be the judged one (by his Priests while he just observes), or they can play part in deciding if Atem lets the judged live or die. Your call. Thing here is that, his Priests are able to see the darkness in people's souls, so YEAH! FUN TIMES HADRIEL!

Delight.
Gonna have Atem dreaming of home, and that's ancient Egypt. Reminiscing old times when he was just a young prince and was a terrible child (and by terrible I mean adorable). Happy days.

Confusion.
Whoever enters this dream may deal with dark stuff as they will basically enter to what used to be Atem's soul room before he found out his name. If you watched Labyrinth, that's pretty much what you're getting. An endless labyrinth of staircases, doors and deadly traps. Inside are many other rooms that no one knows what they might lead to, not even Atem himself. This room is the physical representation of Atem's soul and the turmoil he went through when trying to find out who he was. And no, there is was no Nintendo... In this dream he will not remember his name and he will have his modern looks.

These might change, truth to be told, but it's a general idea.

Feel free to send me a PM or hit me at h_o_r_a_k_h_t_y if you wanna plot anything~

[kidpocalypse]

Rage has the potential of Fucking This Kid Up, and the whole thing can happen in ancient Egyptian if you want!

Eleven

[theflea]

Being a visitor is more of Eleven's thing, so she's going to be in your dreams more than she's going to dream herself.

Rage:
Think Superman in flashpoint paradox, she's been locked up, kept as a test subject for years and finally, she's out and boy has she snapped. This could be a pretty painful dream if you end up on the receiving end of it. Eleven already thinks she's strange, some kind of monster and in this dream she really is! She's Papa's little weapon.

Sorrow:
Welcome to the Upside Down! Eleven is going to see Will, Barb and possibly the rest of the boys dead or dying in the Upside Down. She's going to be trying to save them and end up getting herself trapped in there, roots and slugs, all the creepy decaying things in that dimension will start to take over and grow/trap her there too!

Fear:
"Something is coming, something hungry for blood. A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness! It is almost here...An army of Troglodytes charger into the chamber! What a minute... Do you hear that? That sound? Boom, boom, BOOM! That didn't come from the Troglodytes no, that came from something else. The Demogorgon!!"

That's right! The Demogorgon! On top of that, you're trapped in a building with no windows, no doors and no way out! You can try and run from it, hide from it or fight it but in the end, Eleven will admit that she is the monster, she's the Demogorgon. Her worst nightmare come true and now, she's the monster hunting you down.

[kidpocalypse]

HOW DO I EVEN CHOOSE

TBH, it sounds like Evan and El have really similar fears, so depending on how we set it up, we could def. have (completely hypocritical) attempts to convince her that she's not a monster while defending himself from her just as much as necessary not to get his ass completely handed to him.

Percy Jackson

[mightypen]

Percy's gonna be visiting some folks, but he's got his own dreams too!

Delight A sunset beach campout with his mom, complete with perfect weather and blue marshmallows!

Sorrow Battle of Manhattan, and every other friend/demigod that Percy couldn't help. He's.... seen some shit.

Hope Welcome to New Rome! All of Percy's friends (and anyone he knows and likes really) happily safe and able to live normal (enough) lives.

Fear Tartarus. Tartarus is the actual worst, there will be monsters galore and general horrible times. It's going to be a pretty literal fight for your life sort of

Confusion pretty literal memory loss, paired with being lost in the woods. Percy (and whomever visits this dream) will only remember their own name and the name/face of their closest loved one.

Tranquility An underwater palace, complete with fish and the ability to breathe underwater!

Rydia

[blessedmaiden]

Rydia will mostly be a visitor and travel in other people's dreams, still...

Sorrow: It hardly looks like a nightmare, all you will see in it is a small, simple village between mountains and Rydia can be seen walking around it and acting like everything is okay. What's wrong with it? The atmosphere is more than oppressing and despite following a routine and even stopping to talk with 'others' Rydia is absolutely alone. Yep, she talks to empty spots or areas. Gravestones are located all around the village itself and they keep whispering "you're alone", "You're the only one", "There's no hope for your kin" and it seems she's fighting hard to ignore those.

Delight: Welcome in the Feymarch! It's literally moving from a cave to another and while all you can see is a wooden city surrounded by darkness things seem to be lively in there. Rydia will be around celebrating a good hunt with fellow monsters enjoying food and dancing with them.

Love: The dream will involve the village already seen in sorrow's dream but now it'll be filled with the monsters seen in the Feymarch and it will also include some of the people Rydia traveled with / met on the surface. The whole dream won't involve romantic love but it'll definitely have all sorts of platonical one. Rydia and her parents, Rydia and her friends, Rydia and her 'adoptive' family... that's all she really needs.

Fear: She'll be in a cave, Mist's cave, fending off waves of knights who happen to wear dark armors and others who happen to look awfully similar to the resident dragoon. There'll be a white dragon lying in a corner and the entrance of the cave behind her back- it'll probably involve her having to protect her village no matters what.

[notimpervious]

Omg I think I need to tag that Delight dream!

Elrond

[loveathousandyearsgone]

I have two dreams planned for my dear pointy-eared boy!

Love
Because Elrond took a ridiculously long period of time (try about a thousand years) before even admitting he loved someone, he gets to revisit finally proposing to one silver-haired elf lady named Celebrian. Starting with asking her utterly terrifying parents, Galadriel and Celeborn for her hand. Be prepared for cavity-inducing sugar if you choose this dream!

Sorrow
Poor Elrond has also suffered a great deal throughout his long life, and has the emotional scars to prove it. For this delightful dream of pain, he'll revisit the Last Alliance between Elves and Men- you know the one, where Aragorn's ancestor decided to keep the One Ring for himself instead of destroying it and saving a hell of a lot of misery? Yeah. That one. Feel free to follow along, just don't mind the blood, gore, dismemberment, etc!

[bythewaves]

mO-Om

Curufin

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin will mostly be visiting other people's dreams, but he will host a few of his own.

Hope: This is a vision of the best possible outcome at Hadriel. The Null are defeated, the gods' former hosts are resurrected, and the citizens of Hadriel are now free to leave unless they really want to stay. The experts of all species have convened to analyze the Door and have worked out how to send people back to their own worlds -- or to somebody else's world, if they don't like their own and want to go exploring the universe. If they want to return to their own, they have the choice of going back to the point in time from which they were taken, or returning to an earlier or later point. We'll just pretend time paradoxes aren't a problem. This IS a hopeful dream! Thus, it is possible to change the outcome of whatever events were transpiring in their lives at the time they were kidnapped by the Hadriel gods -- or to avoid those events altogether.

And thus, Curufin is returning to Middle-earth -- but not exactly to his own time. He wants to help defeat Sauron once and for all. Anybody can come with him, whether they are from the Tolkienverse or not, and have a part in the story if they want one. There will be an immense battle, with plenty of gore and glory for all!

Fear: Curufin's had the hopeful vision, and now to keep things balanced, he ought to have a dream of he Worst Possible, Most Damnable Future. I'm still working on this one, haven't come up with anything bad enough yet. TBA. XD

But again, both Tolkienverse and non-Tolkienverse characters will be welcome to join him in this one.

[stonebird]

Cel is with his Atar 100%! Anakin is all for horrifying futures since he has one and Sansa might join Curufin for his Hope dream too.

Duck

[quacked]

hey up for ducky visiting any dreams as well as hosting!! here's some he'll be hosting

Sorrow: Duck's on a train, staring out the window at a small group of people - his parents and two of his best friends. They're staring back at him sadly and Duck has the very firm gutting knowledge that he'll never see them again. There's an overbearing sense of grief and loss.

Hope: Hey, it's hadriel! Except... better? Way better. It's not really a cave anymore, it's lighter, the sun up above is real. The town is less frighting, the lake clear, the caves gone. There are no monster or horrible things happening. And Duck has lots of friends! Some of the friends you might not know, but Duck sure does! His parents too are alive and here. He's alive, he's okay, he can be happy here.

Confusion: (warning for cannibalism/gore) Duck and a host of people, including his family and friends, are sat at a dinner table, and Duck is enjoying a very a nice meal. A lot of lovely meat and some trimmings. The dinner is interrupted. At first it's just like it was in Duck's canon: Lee (main protag of season one, friend of Duck) bursts in and tells everyone that they're eating human meat. The dream diverges from canon there though. Suddenly Duck (and perhaps whoever is sharing this dream) has a plate full of human limbs - hands, ears, eyes, as well as the knowledge that they've been shoving this into their mouth all this time. It's not pretty.

[am_i_a_monster]

Abigail could visit the confusion dream. She might freak out - She's had a sort of similar experience - after her father died, she found out he was a cannibal and the meals he made for her and her mother had been made with human organs.

Kyrii

[citytraveler]

Kyrii falls under the synth category of 'doesn't need sleep' though he can enter a stasis for healing purposes. I'll be using this event to break him out of his shell and introduce him to ~feelings~ n' shit for the first time here in Hadriel!

sorrow (+hope?) If you ever felt like abandoned buildings were lonely and creepy, with a little hint of danger knowing you might need a tetanus shot afterward, then welcome to the City! Kyrii's first dream is going to explore the emptiness of his homeworld and the realization that being alone in it is pretty freaking depressing. This may be an opportunity to explore some Hope, if anyone wants that particular CR with him.

rage While traveling the City, Kyrii comes across some dangerous synths known as Exterminators. These quick spidery dudes can easily slay a normal person and they give Kyrii a good run for his money (just kidding, money isn't a thing in the city). In this part of the dream, Kyrii's going to be pretty irritated at how many Exterminators are after his ass. He'll be blasting the crap out of them with his gravitational beam emitter and destroying a lot of crap. He may even lose the GBE at one point and resort to punching things.

confusion Kyrii's dumb idea of punching stuff to death likely got him into a bad situation and now he'll be in a recovery stasis— probably with missing limbs. He'll be falling to the bottom of some dirty-water reservoir while contemplating things like where he went wrong and how long it'll take him to get back into the fight, or why he was even sent on this mission in the first place. This will be a "we're breathing underwater for some reason" kind of dream.

tranquility is last on the list. Nature is a foreign concept to Kyrii, clear water and green plants are not on the list of things he sees every day. But one level of the City can be completely different from the last. In some facility, Kyrii will enter a perfectly preserved biome to represent some Eden that would never really exist. This dream may be for more calm encounters for CR, but definitely a chance for him to learn about what life was once like on Earth and what that means to humans.

kravitz + ellie; tw's on appropriate prompts

[knockthemdead]

Both of them will definitely do a lot of visiting, but I have a few ideas for each of them as hosts, too!

Kravitz

→ Sorrow Kravitz's past is a large unknown, and while it's implied that he recalls his choice to become a reaper didn't come easy, he never talks about his past. It's delving into headcanon territory, but I suspect there's a lot he doesn't remember, (being as old as he is) and this dream will be something faded and washed out, like spots in someones vision. Grief without a face or a name.
→ Love Look honestly this is just gonna be something gay and sappy ft Taako sign up for embarrassing shit here
→ Confusion This one is gonna play a lot off of what Krav saw in his mirror! Him trapped in the astral plane, trying to summon the Raven Queen, and trying to open a portal. He knows this is what he has awaiting him if he goes home, and the mirror event has shown him the horrifying possibility of being stuck there slowly withering away and losing himself.

Ellie

→ Sorrow Everyone I have ever cared for has either died, or left me. You do the math on what this dream is gonna be all about.
→ Hope There's so much Ellie wants, and a lot of it is impossible or near impossible. Joel alive & safe, treating her like a daughter. Her world healed. Riley alive. I imagine this dream will also involve everyone she loves from Hadriel being there and safe and happy. Also giraffes.
→ Fear [tw: lots of blood, stitching wounds] This dream will focus on Ellie trying to calm herself and stitch together Joel's gaping abdomen wound. Lots of shaky hands and heavy breathing.
→ Confusion [tw: cannibalism, gore, attempted sexual assault] Something that continues to fuck Ellie up and will probably never stop playing on her mind is the time she spent trapped in and escaping the cannibal David's encampment. She murdered him brutally after he tried to assault her, and while fear is definitely also heavily associated with these memories, this dream will play a lot more on confusion. How it changed her view of herself, and the world, and how she doesn't even fully understand all her feelings towards it. Definitely don't tag into this one if you aren't up for heavier content.

[armcollector]

um actually i think i gotta get in on this ellie confusion biz.......... damn

also i want kravitz paaaaaaaast!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME THE HEADCANONS

cw: suicide attempt mention, fantasy cannibalism

[hasitsthorns]

Rose is obviously going to be a host and a visitor! She'll be having dreams that help the following gods:

Rage; In this dream, someone will be Rose's unfortunate opponent in the fighting ring. Rose hasn't talked much about this time of her life to Hadrielites but it's basically a gladiator-style fight to the death in a colosseum of people that will be cheering for Black Rose. (This dream comes with the catch that the person against Rose will be 'dying' in order to wake up!)

Sorrow; Her favorite god will influence a lot of possible things. It can be the death of a friend from back home, the aftermath of when she lost her hand in Haven, or when she went to Haven East in order to die.

Fear; This dream will be from Haven, when everyone learned that those of them that had 'disappeared' actually went into cold storage instead of returning home like initially thought.

Tranquility will cause a dream of laying in a Texas field and looking up at all the stars in the night sky. Rosie will provide complementary music. Super chill. Super peaceful.

Last, but not least, Love will influence dreams of passion. That's right, ladies and gentleman, Rosie will be having sexy dreams. It's also going to be your choice what role your character plays. The awkward object of affection or an awkward bystander walking in on Rose and whoever! The character is subject to change in this scenario as she's had a lot of unrequited crushes and romantic interests.

Re: cw: suicide attempt mention, fantasy cannibalism

[circumitus]

It's tempting to have Rey be a bystander to Rose's sexydreams.

Jo | So late (tw: death, violence, and spoilers for Supernatural's early seasons)

[knifecollecting]

I'm almost late but here we go. It's been busy. Jo will be having three dreams total and visiting others the rest of the time!

Sorrow: First, flashes of this scene, repeated and sometimes jumbled. Heavy emphasis on the story about Bill (Jo's father), some might recognize a younger Sam. Jo will also be dreaming about the actual death of her father, as she imagines Uncle John standing over her father and pulling the trigger. 8 year old Jo waiting for her father to return and hearing Uncle John come back without realizing what's being said, until her mother comes to tell her. Lots of tears.

Delight: This dream is much nicer. In this dream, Jo and Ellen drive through the countryside, windows down and music faintly playing from the speakers. Despite the happy atmosphere, there are a lot of weapons in this car and old looking books. Jo is smiling and laughing as she and her mother talk, a few monsters might come up in conversation.

Fear: This is the real kicker! Visitors will have a chance to witness Jo's death. The scene is an old-fashioned hardware store, Dean and Sam and Ellen are in attendance. Jo is propped up against the counter with her hands in her lap, still weakly trying to staunch the bleeding even as she knows there's no chance. Visitors will feel Jo's fear as her vision goes black at the edges, as her breath gurgles deep in her lungs. They can try to interfere if they wish, but Jo is sure there's no chance and she's going to go out almost like her father. She might say her goodbyes to them while she can.

Bakura

[stealer_ofsouls]

So because LIFE happened I skipped the intro log, and this event is going to be Bakura's actual appearance in Hadriel^*. What better way than nightmares, yes? Given the whole 'I am the darkness' theme of his canon I'm going to stick more to the negative emotions — or the negative aspects of the typically 'positive' emotions — for him.

Delight: we're going back in canon, either to the Battle City qualifying duels or further back, to old RPGs that Bakura used to steal souls. He's the victor of course, and the victory is in the Penalty Game that the loser must suffer, the punishment for having entered the game in the first place. We're ripping souls out of people's bodies and enjoying it here, yeah boy!! THat being said I'm so super flexible with this in terms of incorporating other characters: do you want to be Bakura's opponent and have your dream soul sealed away? Do you want to be a spectator? Something else? Let me know!!!

Rage and Sorrow: at this point I'm thinking iterations of the same dream: the burning of his village and slaughter of his people in ancient Egypt, which happened when Bakura was only a child. Yep, this is one damaged kid! Variations on the theme may involve Bakura either experiencing the dream again as a child, or adult Bakura trying (and failing) to intervene and stop the genocide.

For week 2 he's much more likely to be a visitor than a host, though as of right now I do have one potential host idea.

Confusion: going back to that burned out village, now inhabited by ghosts of the dead and damned. Except not only are those ghosts are ignoring Bakura's attempts to communicate, they're ignoring everyone — which isn't normal. Also, Bakura's looking for the stone slab that was used to form the Millennium Items and it's not here. What the hell, dream?

^*I'm totes saying that in the time since the intro log/his arrival in Hadriel, he was hanging out (read: getting lost) in the caves and that this event is what drove him to actually stumble out and interact with people. Yeah, let's go with that.
