rubi: dreamwalking opt-in

[pharmacy]

In high school, Quentin’s mind was invaded by “dream demon” Freddy Kreuger. Over the course of years of fighting to get Kreuger out and survive to wake again, Quentin developed an ability common to Freddy’s victims: dreamwalking.



Dreamwalking starts with total agency in his dreams and expands with practice into total agency in other people’s dreams. Eventually, again with practice and familiarity with a given person’s dreamscape, this ability can grow into being able to act on another person in their sleep and having it affect their body in the real world.

Especially when he’s in proximity to people, there’s a chance that Quentin has wandered into the dreams of people around him. I default to assuming he has NOT been in any given person’s dreams, but I’d also love to open up the opportunity if folks want some psychic mess out there. If Quentin has been able to see your chara’s dreams, please fill out this form:

<b>Character:</b> <b>Frequency and Timing:</b> How often and when during the day do they dream? <b>Common Themes:</b> Recurring colors, images, events, and other observable trends in their dreams (IE: lots of red, always dreaming of cats, recurring fire dreams, regular people, etc) <b>Overall Vibes:</b> The overall feeling of their dreams, regardless of imagery (IE: calm, wonder, stress, being watched, etc) <b>Has your chara noticed Quentin?</b> Dream-savvy characters or folks with psychic prowess/sensitivity will ping that something is off about him. Has your characters noticed this?

If you want to turn this ability or any encounters they have in the dreamscape into a thread, feel free to PM here or on Plurk tenny_boo to plot a little bit.

Character: Wanda Maximoff.

Frequency and Timing: She has runes in her room to try and stop herself from dreaming (and to prevent her nightmares from leeching out into the town). Her dreams are spotty; she tries not to dream these days. If she's not sleeping in her room, then she (and the rest of the town) are unprotected (and he can get into her dreams!).

Common Themes:

Her brother, Pietro: Dying, running, riddled with bullet holes, dead, alive, as a little boy, as an adult.

Her husband, Vision: Dead, butchered by S.W.O.R.D. and laid out on a series of tables, being torn apart by Thanos, and White Vision looking through her and not seeing her.

Her sons, Billy and Tommy: Screaming and crying behind a staircase and calling her a monster. Them disappearing into what looks like puzzle pieces while she fails to save them. Also their voices, disconnected from their bodies, crying out for her to help them.

People of Westview begging her to let them go.

Her apartment building in rubble. Also an alternative of her dirty and sooty apartment building: a white background with a door and remnants of rubble and a bombed building, with Wanda hiding beneath the rubble. Sometimes Pietro is there.

For a happier dream: Wanda in her orchard with her boys running around, Vision and Pietro with her. She's starting to dream about the people in Rubi.

Overall Vibes: Her dreams feel vivid and trapping, like being pushed beneath a giant wave and unable to surface. Essentially, he'd be fighting against her subconscious use of her mind control. There's always a red crackle of energy around them.

Has your chara noticed Quentin? Considering Wanda's an OP psychic, let's say yes. :)

I'm happy to thread any of this out, considering Wanda's powers mean she'd sense he was in her mind, and she tends to bite back these days. Just lmk! ♥
