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.]

[ A small smile at that, and while she's not certain about proper protocol, she does know what she would want to talk with him about. ]

Your sickness-- I have tried to determine what is plaguing you, but I feel as if I have not the knowledge of magic required to even give a diagnoses, let alone aid you in any way I can.

And unconventional ones?

[ She's not the type to simply accept the fact she can't do anything to help. But a shake of her head at his question. ]

Not unless you mean Korugar - and that is an obvious answer.

I take it the result was not worth the price paid.

[ She's curious, and it shows. But she leaves it be for the moment, not wanting to press him for information he doesn't want to give. ]

A threat that she cannot face herself?

[ On some level it's not surprising - the idea that perhaps the Emperor is not as malicious as assumed. Soranik knows Annabeth is more than suspicious of the Emperor's intentions, but Sora herself has spent enough time working under the Guardians to not give the thought much pause.

It's simply part of life. ]

[ It's enough of an answer that Soranik can accept it. ]

And so it falls to us to defend you, and the rest of Konryu. [ Assuming that's the name of the word they've found themselves on. ] I do not suppose you could help me to understand what we face?

[ Soranik doesn't answer right away, instead thinking. ]

When you say worlds, do you mean those that exist in your own universe or-- others?

[ She's aware of the multiverse as a vague concept, knows it has to exist now, but if anything could be a threat to all worlds in every universe-- it was certainly a dangerous thing. ]

[ That is sobering, and Soranik falls silent again - suddenly feeling as if the buildings on either side of the street are closing in around her. It moves between universes with a thought. Then her own isn't safe. Oa. Korugar. Any of it. ]

How can we fight it?

( there's another beat, before Sora holds out her hand to him. )

I need to get into the air.

( she needs to think, and doesn't want to leave him behind. )
