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.]

So I was right.

[A little bit of pride.]

Why are you here? What do you want with my-- our dream?
justlittle: (ES79)

[Bean sits as well, not managing it quite so gracefully as Asti.]

Why me? Or are you "sharing" other people's dreams as well?
justlittle: (ES31 point)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-11 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You have power over the whole of Keeliai?

...You're not one of us foreigners, then. Nor are you kedan. What are you?
justlittle: (ES54)

You mean the giant turtle. Not often. [A head tilt of his own.] Should I?
justlittle: (ES53)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-11 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You are the turtle? You are... [What was that name he'd heard?] Tu Vishan?
justlittle: (ES02)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-11 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll stick with Asti, then, since it's the name you yourself gave me.

Should I consider it an honor to host you in my subconscious?
justlittle: (ES57)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-11 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bean considers this. One the one hand, Asti said he was in everyone else's dream as well. But on the other hand, this is a ...pleasant conversation they're having.]

I suppose I do.

You're honored to be in my dream? Why?
justlittle: (ES09)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-12 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Bean is silent for a moment. Considering.]

I often dream of flying. I think it's probably because I've always been so little. I can't imagine being as large as you are. Normally.
justlittle: (ES30 ender)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-12 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Bean lies on his back, relaxing as he's seen Ender and Rayner do. If he wasn't already sleeping, he almost felt so peaceful he could take a nap then and there.]

So. You're sick.
justlittle: (ES24 map)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-12 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, turtle.]

Is there anything we can do to help?
justlittle: (ES13)

[personal profile] justlittle 2013-05-12 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Bean frowns.] I'm sorry to hear that.

Do you know why we're here, then? What we're meant to be fighting?
