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
Asti. And you are Sabriel.
no subject
I didn't expect to ever sea this place again.
no subject
[He is suddenly just at her shoulder with no sense of having moved, and he reaches out to touch the pages of the book she holds. The words change under his hands, become English become Kedan.]
no subject
[Sabriel squints at the letters, her fingers tracing over them.]
I- I've seen those letters before- around Keeliai. What do they mean?
no subject
Would you like to learn?
no subject
I- Yes, I would.
no subject
[The symbols glow bright, and then scatter like ash, drifting to the floor in the quality of dreams.]
no subject
[Sabriel peers at him, something suddenly slipping into place.]
You're... not just another part of my dream, are you?
no subject
[She's a smart girl, and she values her own accomplishments. He knows she'll figure it out.]
no subject
Asti, can I meet you again? When I'm awake?
no subject
[It's not a derogatory term, simply truthful. He's billions of years old.]
no subject
Tu Vishan? [Tu Vishan is certainly the biggest living creature around, as far as Sabriel knows.]
no subject
[He's proud of her figuring it out, and it shows in his slight smile.]
no subject
I want to help, but- even if I ignored the Emperor, I don't think I have the strength to heal you. [There are so many questions she wants to ask- about the ones who were brought here before, about what the Emperor brought them to fight- it's all pretty clear on her face.]
no subject
I am sorry. Is it a hardship? The decay?
[He knows she wouldn't be able to heal him, and does not seem particularly bothered by the thought.]
no subject
Are you sick because of- [Sabriel almost says 'Malicant', but thinks better of it.]
Because of the enemy the Emperor spoke of?
no subject
You know its name. You may speak it here.
no subject
Is it as powerful as the Emperor claims it is?
no subject
[Unfortunately so.]
no subject
no subject
[And he doesn't like that, particularly.]
no subject
Every world it touches. [Her tone is bland, but deeply concerned. The Old Kingdom has enough problems, and she doubts Ancelstierre would fare well against it either.
And how- how can we stop him? [Inaction is simply not an option in Sabriel's mind.]
no subject
[He turns and walks back to the window, the sunlight.]
If I knew, I would tell each of you in turn. But I do not.
no subject
We'll find a way. And thank you for- for all your help.
no subject
[But he does allow her to catch at his hand.]
