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.]

[ Thanks, turtledude, you are a bro. ]

Oh. In that case, then hey, man. [ a grin and a short wave! ] Sorry about the assumption; it's kind of the first time I'm getting a visit in my dreams from some guy who isn't telling me to fight giants or murderous fish or weirdos or anything.

[ A pause! ] But you're not one of the Gods of Olympus, are you? [ That, or he just managed to piss off some majorly minor god. ]

Hey, man. [A wave!] So if you're not sending me off on a dangerous, life-threatening mission that I might not survive, then what are you doing in my dreams?
fotia: AND YOU RATTLE MY BRAIN (//YOU SHAKE MY NERVES)

Help me, huh? Help is good.

[A pause!] So did you know that there was once a cloning facility in the ocean?

[Leo continues with questions about this world, stuff he knows that Annabeth and Percy had already likely asked to the strange little boy in his dreams, but it won't hurt to ask again anyway. He tells himself that he's just being thorough, that maybe the boy only visited him tonight. (Though he wouldn't know why that would be so; it's not as if he's particularly special like Percy, one of the The Big Three's offspring, or Annabeth, who is the absolute smartest person he's ever met.)

He gets a pang in his chest by the time he's almost run out of questions, the kind that makes his hands tremble and threatens the tears to form in his eyes. He doesn't want this dream to end just yet. He doesn't want to leave the little workshop filled with the best memories of his life.]

You can? [it comes out a bit too eager and he almost looks embarrassed.] I mean... well... [A small smile.] I would like that.

[he pauses for a moment, because it does seem to good to be true still.

But, well, if it's a way to get closer to his mom, even if only in his dreams, then what's there to lose? He would have traded the world for a moment with her, so the turtle's offer is more than welcome.]


Sure. I mean, if that's cool with you.

[oh no stop making him almost cry again.]

I... Thank you.
