Event Post: Dreamwalker the Second
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

Other than that, some definite reoccurring dreams will revolve around Concordia and the sky prison! These dreams can fit into the Confusion and Rage category (but not on the same nights). Anyone who wants to experience the synthes from Rey's world (very relevant, given the presence of the recent Null) will have the perfect chance to find themselves either imprisoned or wandering around a subarctic city populated by synthetics. These locations will bare only vague semblances to the type of prisons and cities that a human person will be used to, with winding and confusing labyrinthine streets and passages. Humans and synthetics alike will be found locked up, tortured physically and psychologically, and experimented on into warped versions of their former selves. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but fun times nonetheless. More info on Concordia and the sky prison can be found in the link above.
Fear related dreams will involve a synthetic woman named IV. During the 4th Wall event last year, IV had made a brief appearance and caused a bit of trauma and unrest. Rey fears that she might come back someday and be a threat to those close to her.
She is also very available to visiting other people's dreams as well. I'm trying to think of some Delight and Hope-themed stuff for her, though, so she can have some nice things too, haha. :|
Ravine doesn't sleep, and therefore tends to be more of a visitor or than a host for dreams. But for the sake of the event, she will be hosting a couple, but they will be lucid -- in that she'll be fully, mentally aware that she is dreaming, even if she might not give this away.
Tranquility will revolved around her time of being alive and human in Neo Babylon. This is a good chance for characters to get to know that she is really That Old, as that isn't really something she would otherwise share. Want to hang out in an ancient dead kingdom? Now's your chance! Also she will be addressed by her birth name, Yehudit, as a prophet and advisor to the king.
The Sorrow dream will take place in the 1800s southern America, involving a girl named Elizabeth who is on her death bed with tuberculosis. Ravine has to reap her departed soul afterward. This girl was one of the first to inspire any sort of emotion in Ravine since before her own death, due to the compassion she had shown to Ravine.
