the dreaming [open]
Characters: Tu Vishan and you!
Date: May 11th
Location: All over Keeliai.
Situation: Tu Vishan is attempting to reach out to the foreigner population, with... mixed results?
Warnings/Rating: Should be pretty tame. Will update if this changes.
Notes: This log is set at night, and characters are technically encountering him in their 'dreams'. He may or may not be exerting some subtle supernatural influence to make characters fall asleep, so if your character doesn't require sleep feel free to say he's done something to them. Technically, every creature in Tu Vishan would be sleeping during his little foray, so the streets are uncharacteristically empty.
This is not a predominantly plot-driven log. Tu Vishan is reaching out to people and may surrender plot details if the right questions are asked, but this is mostly part of his ongoing effort to become acquainted with people and the thread direction may stick solely to slice of life, depending on how your character chooses to direct it.
A character's 'dreamscape' should be shaped by their subconscious mind, so feel free to go wild with whatever you'd like. This includes details of their location and what their dream!selves might look like. Tu Vishan will appear to the characters as a young boy, between fourteen and sixteen years of age, and anyone he visits will have extremely peaceful dreams. It's considered a gift and a blessing to have been visited thusly by Tu Vishan, and one can expect good fortune in their futures if they are visited. Characters may also not remember perfect details of these dreams in the morning, or remember them at all. That much is up to you.
[The night is calm and still and on this night, Tu Vishan wanders.
He does not often take a form not his own, but there is a growing sense of unease in his shape, in his body, that he cannot escape. He knows it. He has felt his brethren sicken thus, and die. So for a time, when he can, he escapes. Like smoke, like a ghost, a breath, he escapes and he wanders.
The city is sleeping when he does so. He likes the cities at night, though the dimly flickering light of his shell is...
(Sad, he thinks)
--Inevitable.
He passes from house to house, between buildings and shadows. He listens.
'Keeliai' means 'Finality'. It is an irony he has never sought to correct. Instead, he stops at doors, on rooftops, in the empty rooms of old houses, and he thinks of all the lives scattered here. Small enough to be insignificant to him, but hardly that. He cannot so much as feel the patter of their movement across his back, but he is aware of each of them as a tiny heartbeat, an audible echo of life and hope.
When he finds a receptive mind, he will sometimes reach out and touch it gently. A calm, gentle reassurance. If they wish to speak with him, he is there.]

no subject
I would like that.
no subject
This isn't a normal dream, is it?
no subject
[He reaches up to tap at his temple.]
no subject
[He pauses.]
I should probably be more concerned about having a visitor in my head than I am right now..
no subject
I am not here to harm you, Timothy.
no subject
So--who are you really?
no subject
[One of those photographs develops, shows a little swimming turtle. He holds it out.]
no subject
You, huh? You look kind of cute here.
no subject
'Cute'?
no subject
Sure, cute. [He makes a slight swimming motion with his arms.] I think maybe it's the proportions.
So, why the visit?
no subject
no subject
...I'm sorry. Do you do this kind of visiting often?
no subject
[... To humans, at least. Barely the blink of an eye for a creature that's older than planets.]
no subject
I wouldn't mind--if you wanted to visit more often. [His smile broadens slightly.] I never had anyone to show this to before. It's... nice, actually. Having company here.
[He's not an ancient turtle, but he knows something of what it's like to be lonely, and he has sympathy for Asti.]
no subject
[It's not an insult so much as the simple truth. Doing even this is a strain on Asti's resources, to communicate with them without harming them.]
But this is-- nice. A nice place.
no subject
Thank you, though. I like it. Liked it.
no subject
[His tone is concerned, and he turns to glance over the pictures on the walls as if they hold some great mystery.]
no subject
This place doesn't exist anymore, except in my memory. I did spend a lot of happy hours here, though.
[Happy, obsessive, somewhat creepy hours, but happy hours nonetheless.]
no subject
[It's a statement, rather than a point of curiosity. It's obvious by the memory.]
no subject
Hmm. Yes, I think you could say that. [Maybe he hadn't thought about it that way at the time, but it sounds... right.]
