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: felipe
Frequency and Timing: he takes naps all the time and everywhere and during the night he sleeps heavily like he was dead. dreams most nights but rarely remembers anything.
Common Themes: old castles with red clay walls, orange sunlight filtering through light curtains, massive ornate beds and divans, endless sunsets, old trees heavy with ripe fruit, meaningless chatter and laughter from a faraway party, golden jewelry, playing cards and dice, the sharp scent of citrus, someone screaming felipe's name, the faint sound of weak crying echoing through empty halls. a recurring figure: a beautiful woman with felipe's features, dark long hair and striking blue eyes. she haunts the edges of his dreams like mal from inception – sometimes sad, sometimes angry. she's been abandoned and she looks like she's been crying most of her life and when she turns away she disappears.
Overall Vibes: bittersweet comfort, laziness, loneliness, frustration, emptiness, guilt, yearning, desire
Has your chara noticed Quentin? nope, felipe will only focus on the woman
