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
[It is a heavy thought to contemplate, and he lets the sand sift through his fingers.]
I would not mind the company.
no subject
I'll visit more, then. [He tries a small smile on, despite the gravity of the conversation. He can do that much, at least. But then he pauses for a moment as a school of brightly colored fish swim by.] You mentioned earlier a way to slow the illness... Is it even something you would want, if there are people who would step up? [How much would it take, he wonders. He doesn't want anyone to die for him, but how deadly a solution is it?]
no subject
[And he does. There is a presence about Arthur. It makes him think of Mishadi.]
I would like that. The visiting.
[And then, he stills.]
It-- Selfishly, all creatures fight to survive. I-- if the cost were spread among many, it would perhaps grant me more life. A year. Two. Ten. Nearly insignificant in scope when one considers my lifetime. I do not feel it to be worth it, for what it would take away.
no subject
What would it take away? I have no intention of acting rashly, but if we came up with a plan to take the creature, if more time was needed in such a case, even just a little... [He just wants to know options. To have the information if it should become necessary, because he will do whatever he can to help.]
no subject
[He is resigned to death, in many ways. False hope could only be cruel, now.]
no subject
What do you call yourself, my friend? 'Tu Vishan' is probably kedan-given, isn't it? [Names are important, to the man who has so many of them.]
no subject
I am called Asti.
no subject
no subject
Dream well, Arthur. I must leave. If you need to speak with me again, let me know.
[He taps a finger against his temple.]
And I will come to you.

[Asti bows deeply, and with that, disappears.
What sleep Arthur gets for the rest of the night is calm, peaceful and untroubled.]
