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!
Ronan Lynch
His Hope night is likely going to be extremely bittersweet and will take place at the Barns, his childhood home. Expect lots of fluffy, affectionate cows, tiny mice, a couple of chickens, giant hay bales to jump off of, with potential guest appearances by Ronan's father (It's Complicated), his brothers (It's Also Complicated), or his mother (It's... you get the picture). Ronan himself could be one of two possibilities- 1. the Real Ronan, who will likely be aware that this is a god-influenced dream because he doesn't allow himself to dream of this place, and will likely extremely wary and potentially violent. Or 2. the Ronan that fits in with the dream, ie: Ronan before his father was killed. If you wanna do his Hope dream then we might need to talk a bit just to hash out some details of how we want to roll with it!
His Fear dream will generally consist of running through the woods at night. It's likely that both Ronan and his dream visitor will be chased by bird-raptor-demon things, dragons made of fire, and/or other monsters. Expect to find corpses as well- his father's (which has happened), his brother's (which has not), or his own (which is a gray area). These corpses can be dead or ambling about and generally blaming people for things, like the rude corpses they are.
Both dreams are a pretty decent opportunity to pry behind Ronan's fortified front, and would be an excellent opportunity to get a good chunk of CR with him!
I'm also 100% game for Ronan to hop into other dreams as well. He will retain his ability to take objects from dreams, and can potentially (likely accidentally) take something from your character's dream. A keepsake, a monster, a body part, a diary- anything within reason! It will have to be an object that your character would naturally have in that dream, as Ronan would not be able to shape your character's dreams. I'd really like to explore this as well, so hit me up!

Re: Ronan Lynch
What if instead of just pulling the skateboard out of Noah's fear dream he doesn't get to it before Whelk struck at least one blow so it's a bloody skateboard.
