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.

i keep forgetting to fill this out!!

Character: Prince Aemond Targaryen
Frequency and Timing: Nightly. Early hours of the morning (like 3am to dawn)
Common Themes: Aemond mostly dreams about the war with his family focusing on his desperation and inability to save them.

Lots of dragon flying. Dragon battles in heavy rain, sweltering battlefields, free falling out of the sky off said dragon, laying siege on a castle with his dragon and endlessly trying to navigate the halls of a lightless keep unable to track down his enemy (his uncle Daemon). If he does kill anyone, it's brutal and intimate. Sometimes he feeds his enemies to his dragon. Sometimes he is the thing being fed to a dragon.

He also dreams about returning home to find members of his family dying and being blamed for their deaths. Often Aegon's children, his sister Helaena, Aegon himself, and his mother Alicent. Sometimes Alicent is the only one left alive. She continues to blame him and it all goes back to "what he did to Lucerys"

Sometimes it's Aegon with burns over half of his body begging to be put out of his misery. Or his sister Helaena trying to warn him about something with very creepy cryptic messages. Alicent manically trying to mommy manipulate him to do something heinous.

Rarely, scenarios where he is king ostracized from his court with whispering behind his back (getting called 'Kinslayer'), his family turned and conspiring against him, a crowd laughing and mocking him, stripping him his crown and bodily autonomy.

Recently, getting ones where he is either in human or his dragon-y monster form being held prisoner in a cavern of a volcano. Chained to the stone walls/floor as the cave around him rattles as though an eruption is coming.

Overall Vibes: Stress, tension, desperation, guilt, grief, helplessness, rage, mania. Sometimes there are strong senses of yearning/emptiness like a big piece is missing. Others feels like there is a deep and overbearing weight slowing him down/holding him down.

Has your chara noticed Quentin? He's incredibly perceptive, so I'm going to say it's possible.
