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.]

[He looks thoughtful.]
Why? Because of us?
no subject
no subject
You didn't answer my question: why are you here? If you've been awake so long, why contact me now?
no subject
Do you know what it means to perceive time when you are older than a planet?
[translation: it really just felt like a few minutes.]
no subject
[There's something he's been curious about for awhile.]
You've been protecting us, haven't you?
no subject
How do you mean?
no subject
The barrier.
no subject
Yes. It is... a way to atone, for your being here at all.
[He looks down briefly.]
It is beginning to fail.
no subject
[Dick looks sympathetic]
It's because you're sick, isn't it?
no subject
[Most people are, compared to his lifespan, but children are different.]
Mm. Yes.
no subject
[But he turns serious.]
What're we fighting?
no subject
[Not arguing that first part tho.]
no subject
I don't suppose you could tell me how to fight it?
no subject
I do not know. It has been here for a great many centuries now, and nothing has ceased its onward march.
no subject
[He's not discouraged in the least. In fact, his expression turns thoughtful.]
no subject
I do not know. If [But his tone says when,] I die, there will be no defense for this world. The creature might move on, as my kind is what it was first drawn by. But it may not.
no subject
I don't think we'll be so lucky. And if you die, we're practically dead too whether it comes for us or not. The Emperor seems like the "if I'm going down, you're going down with me" type.
no subject
[It's softly spoken, but firm.]
no subject
Is there anything we can do for you? [Whether to heal Asti or make it less painful.]
no subject
[He tilts his head to one side as he speaks, curious and questioning.]
no subject
[His brow furrows.]
no subject
[So simply. Why is that odd?]
no subject
[Nobody should die alone and scared.]
no subject
Do you have anything further to ask of me, Richard?
no subject
[The truth is, he'll probably think of a million questions to ask when he wakes up. But being back in the Manor with the soft sunlight filling his room... it was starting to lull him into a sense of calm.]
You don't have to leave if you don't want to. As long as I don't, you know, sleep for millennia.
