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!
Newt.
More details on the subjects below will be put into the actual post. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
The Maze - Fear
For those interested in the Maze that Newt's always talking about, line up for this dream. This dream could technically align a little bit with Delight if one wants to see the Glade where all of his friends would be happily alive and together. But the dream is no doubt going to melt quickly into a nightmare as Newt goes out to run into the Maze. Run with him. The nightmare will consist of not making it back in time before the doors shut and getting stuck in the Maze with the Grievers during the night. Could happen multiple ways. Could even see what happens to one of the Gladers when they get stung by the Grievers. Who knows!
Crank - Rage
This one is a two-option kind of deal. Your character can arrive in this dream perfectly mentally in tact and arrive at the Crank Palace where all of the Cranks are kept holed up. They can see up close and personal the kind of hell of being a Crank and living in Newt's world with this illness and find Newt in the mess.
Or they can arrive in the dream and progressively degrade into a Crank as they go along. This option is rage because Cranks are known for their rage. Fear is kind of obliterated in madness and replaced with paranoia and agitation. For anyone interested in this option, there are several symptoms of a Crank and I will write a more detailed explanation for the post itself when the time comes.
Torture - Fear
Newt's tortured for a month in order to trigger his disease into jump start. His torture in the book is extremely non specific. We don't actually know what happens to Newt but Thomas remarks that it had to of been absolutely awful for how Newt looks after wards. It's no doubt a series of mental mind games that broke Newt down and bled him out a bit. More details will be added in. Similar to the Crank experience, a character can either encounter Newt during this or be put into his place instead and experience it through his eyes. The marker for characters knowing that they are in Newt's dream will be the fact that the Rat Man will continuously call them 'Newt'.
Paradise - Hope
In his world, there was a supposed "Paradise" for the immune. Newt never got to see this so he has no clue what it's like. This is his version of paradise which will be pretty lovely and have all of his living friends in it and probably a world in which he isn't sick. A relatively calm dream all things considered.

and maybe also paradise so he can meet newt's frans

Well he could meet his frans in the Maze if we wanna do full Maze dream but Paradise works WHATEVER WORKS.

The Maze in general is super interactive and would be more actiony and also horrifying and interesting overall since it was a big part of his life. So both are really good options. I suppose it depends on what kind of trauma you're in the mood for :^)
