Event Post: Dreamwalker


THE RUNDOWN
Hey, you know who hasn't shown his face in awhile? That silly rascal, Fear! And since it's been a few months since he's stared you all down, he figures that it's time to get back in the game and dish out some truly scary events... namely, he thinks that as long as you guys are having nightmares, he might as well put you in one another's dreams and benefit from it. Double nightmares! But don't worry, the other gods will try to stop him and have your back.

On May 16th, Fear will make a network post, in which he will basically taunt you guys and talk about how he's going to make you experience one another's nightmares. Rude! Luckily, the other gods will see this and intervene, making the event something of a free-for-all.

From May 16th-May 26th, characters will find an immeasurable wave of exhaustion descend upon them at roughly the same time each night- yes, even you weirdos who don't sleep at all! Upon falling asleep, will either be a Host or a Visitor. Hosts will be 'touched' by one of the four gods: Fear, Hope, Rage, or Delight, and have corresponding dreams. Visitors will enter into the dreams of a Host and the two of them will experience the dream together.

Have fun as you traverse one another's deepest nightmares or happiest dreams. Watch out for the angry dreams, and do try to enjoy the hopeful ones.

On May 27th, the gods will declare a stalemate and everyone's sleep schedule and dreams will return to normal.


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 ten nights. This means you can be a Visitor for seven nights and a Host for three, or a Host for all ten 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!

As far as the dreams themselves are concerned, here are a few ideas of the types of dreams that each god would influence:
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!
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.
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. Hey, maybe it's a dream of Fear's face on a punching bag!
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?

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 10 nights worth of threads; both handwaving and opting out on certain nights is just fine! The gods are definitely capable of overlooking a few characters.

THE OVERVIEW


► May 16th: Fear posts to the network and is rudely interrupted by the other gods
► May 16th-26th: Welcome to snoozeville, population: you and that weird guy you met at the store last week.
► May 27th: Finally, a decent night of sleep!

Maketh and Miriam

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-05-13 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Still doing some thinking for both of my ladies, and I'm open to plotting!

Maketh is going to have at least two fear dreams concerning her time at the Academy and one influenced by delight. Her fear dreams are going to concern two specific events: the graduation "exam" - a holo simulation where she's ordered to execute unarmed prisoners who turn out to be her parents - and a nightmare concerning her former girlfriend's defection from the Empire. The latter is going to be extremely violent, with Maketh essentially living through all the horrible fates could possibly have been dealt out to defectors. None of them are pretty and most of them involve a firing squad. Maketh may be the execution or she might be up against the wall with them - or both! She has lots of confused, guilty feelings about this.

The Inquisitor will probably show up in both dreams in some capacity.

Her delight-inspired dream will be dancing in a club surrounded by a bunch of suddenly not dead TIE pilots, as well as some of her Hadriel friends. There will be lots of alcohol and pretty lights.

The plotting for Miriam is pretty vague at the moment, but she's going to have at least one fear dream concerning the Sons of Plunder and an event she witnessed before coming to Hadriel: watching them torture one of her friends to death and then injecting him with what's essentially a zombie plague virus. Her friend, Gilly, will then chase her and Barnaby through the burning ruins of her home - passing a lot of other nastiness along the way.

She may have a dream involving something fun with Barnaby - sitting in a cart while he pulls her insanely fast through Hadriel, perhaps.

Since Em now knows about Itani leaving, I think that would be a good (lol "good") dream to send her into. As much of a selfish jerk as she is, Emily doesn't want to be at fault for anyone dying, especially if they're a friend (n-not that Maketh is her friend or anything...), so she'd try to help Maketh out. Or deter her from killing someone. Whatever happens :D

That should be interesting. It's a plan. And are we still up for doing a makeover for Maketh in the shopping dream?

Absolutely. :3 Em will have a credit card and will not be afraid to use it!

I would love for Damen to visit Miriam's fear dream and try to help her against the Sons! He's been wanting to see her world, this might be the perfect opportunity.

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-05-13 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
:D:D:D:D:D:D yes please

I'd also be interested in tossing Miriam into one of his, if that's all right. Possibly his delight one so she can snigger and also see his world. And possibly a horse. She'd love you forever if you showed her a horse.

Oh yes definitely! He will have a horse in the Delight dream for sure. It will be set mainly in Laurent's country, although I might incorporate some timey-wimey fast forwarding as it progresses so that she can see Damen's as well...

Soooooo you know how sometimes when you have a dream it starts in media res. What if Lilith were a visitor in the second fear dream, but... immediately alongside the defectors about to get executed. :D

Not at all what she meant when she said she wished she could've met Itani but HEEEeeyyyy careful what you wish for?

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-05-13 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
....that's awful. I love it. PLAN APPROVED.

I also have a pressing need to see tiny!Lilith in action, so I'd love to throw Maketh into one of Lilith's fear dreams as well. Or possibly the vault hunting one because SHENANIGANS. Thoughts?

YESSS GOOD i'm always here to make things awful. 8) how crazy do you want things to get? Lilith can and will use her powers to escape if she's able to actively affect the dream, and the chaos is sure to make the situation better. or worse. or both.

I would love either! Bitty Lil is an infinitely touchier and more distrustful version of her adult self, so if she's trying to stow away on a ship and runs into Maketh, she will nooot be happy. Stop following her, weirdo, you're gonna get her caught!!! And I'm always for shenanigans, c'mon Maketh let's pick up as many guns as we can carry

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-05-14 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I think it'd be more fun if Lilith could affect the dream and use her power to make things go wonky. In which case...go wild :D

I'm voting for vault hunter shenanigans! Maketh is wondering - again - why this is her life, but secretly she might like it a bit. Maybe.

[personal profile] krangke 2016-05-14 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Maaan but your options. I can't tell which one I'd rather swing with. It'd be intense having Newt see her execute her parents but it'd also be really intense having the latter option too. This will be painful either way. Do you have prefs?
mismanagement: (Default)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-05-14 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
hmm. I think the graduation exam, since that would have the biggest reflection on their own relationship. This event is going to be so awful and wonderful for writing.

[personal profile] krangke 2016-05-14 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I was thinking too. God. It's gonna get intense. I'm psyched. We'll go with the graduation exam then definitely. Time to hurt.

Peter needs to be in on a Maketh dream, just sayin.

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-05-14 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yes please! Any preferences?

[personal profile] werewolfing 2016-05-14 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly either of Maketh's fear dreams play right into Peter's big fears, so whichever you feel like playing out. Family is huge to him and he's also pretty afraid of people who abuse their positions of power.

Aaaaah there's so much good stuff here. 8D I'm totally torn between the two fear dreams but I'm thinking the exam one might be really interesting.
mismanagement: (Default)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-05-14 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
We can definitely do that one! And I'd like to toss Maketh into one of Chris's dreams as well. I'm partial to the saw-themed one, but did you have any preferences?

Awesome! Nah, I'm good with whatever you think would be most fun and interesting. 8D

Saw-theme it is, then!

Awesome and I'm sorry in advance Maketh for any undue trauma.
