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: Joan Dority
Frequency and Timing: Joan dreams deeply and vividly almost every night, though she doesn't always remember it during waking. She currently stays up late and wakes up early, but is learning that without energy drinks she actually needs to go to bed at a normal ass time, so eventually she'll be getting a normal 7-8hrs
Common Themes: Frequent features: She's very short and figures loom over her. The ocean is a wall on the horizon. The sky above is red, the light like a heat lamp. No one has faces, or everyone has the same face. Her teeth fall out like fishbones. She has a pet she keeps in a drawer and keeps forgetting about it and it dies. Her car has been stolen. If she doesn't say the right thing, a violent man will be released from jail. She is covered in lizards.
Overall Vibes: Helplessness, confusion, worry. She is always rushing somewhere, or trying to complete the correct action to avoid disastrous consequences, or trying to save something that is already dead.
Has your chara noticed Quentin? Yes, but she assumes this is her subconscious and feels weird about it.
