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.

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