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.]

[That brand new nugget of knowledge causes her to stop chewing and she looks at the young boy for a long moment before her mouth is freed up to talk. All the land masses were living, separate turtles.]

Are you scared of that happening to you? [That peaceful aura of his that permeated her dreamscape caused her to suddenly smile when she would have normally frowned and wisdom from her past floated to the surface of her conscious.]

It's okay if you are. Everyone is scared of something and it's best to talk about that fear instead of keeping it in.

I see. [That's some wisdom she wished she had.] I'm still getting over my fears, but it's a lot easier now. I don't think it's fair of me to say this, but I'm going to be really sad if you die.

[She pushes her plate aside so she can put her arms on the table.]

I want to ask you one last thing before I wake up.

[The sky was outside was turning from dark night into a light gray heralding the sunrise, possibly her unconsciousness' interpretation of the sunrise in reality.]

Will we ever see each other again?
alphatar: (Smiley eyes)

[personal profile] alphatar 2013-05-25 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I would! [All of her happiness can't be shown in just her smile alone and her face lightens up more than it's ever been since she arrived.]

Are dreams the only way you're able to contact us?
alphatar: (This is going to be awesome)

[personal profile] alphatar 2013-05-25 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, I can go with that. [Especially if her nightmares can turn into the most peaceful and restful dream she's had in years.]

Others have told me that getting close to your head would be a good place to meditate. I'll be sure to visit you soon. [She had been dreading meditation without a master, but now she felt it should be safe.]
alphatar: (Sleeping in)

[Elated and content, Korra once again put her left hand over the knuckles of her right and bowed excitedly.]

It was my pleasure meeting you Asti! We'll see each other again.

[Korra beamed and she closed her eyes, taking her back to the pillow on her bed where she slept soundly.]
