stormcovemods: (Order - Sky)
[personal profile] stormcovemods
It starts just before midnight. It doesn't matter where you are. It doesn't matter if you require or sleep or not. If you were awake at such an hour, you soon won't be. It comes on like any normal sleep. Soft and gentle, in such a way that it's hard to tell where reality ends and dreaming begins.

Everyone sees the same dreams, starting with strange lights and falling through the earth...

For a minimum of two hours, residents will be unable to wake. Even if such nightmares would have otherwise torn them from slumber. Instead, they are dragged dream to dream, until they are through.

Should you venture outside after, you will find it as a clear but moonless night. But unlike a few weeks ago, this is no phenomenon. Simply the dark of the moon, making the stars that much more brilliant against the inky darkness.

[[OOC: Characters will experience dreams in the order they were posted. Yours can wake immediately at the end of the two hours, or linger longer in their own troubled sleep. Post reactions below for log responses, or take to the network if you're so inclined. In-game time of the dreams ending would be at around 2am ]]

You stand on the road in the middle of town. Facing out toward the ocean. Wind tears at your clothes, seeming to shift directions on a whim. Far off, you can see the three stone pillars with startling clarity.

The ground beneath your feet shivers.

Lights appear above the pillars. On then off. A single blink. First above the left, then center, then right. And back again. Brilliant points of light of subtly different color against the dusk sky.

The ground shudders and groans.

All three lights come up at once, brighter than ever. They rise into the air, high above the island, until they seem to be a single point of light, high in the sky.

In a flash, the light streaks toward you. You try to move out of the way, but you're rooted to the spot.

At the moment it should have made impact, everything changed. In a flash, the landscape changed and yet seemed to be the same. Shadows looked sinister, unsettled but not moving. The sky is starless dark. The island has only one pillar, taller than any of the other three. The light burning above it, a sickly blueish shade that felt like you were looking at the sun despite being no brighter than a star.

The ground rumbles.

In the dark corners, you can see the residents. Or you assume them to be. They're twisted and warped, wrapped in shadow. Familiar faces wearing unfamiliar expressions. And they're all staring at you. Hungry. They move toward you. Swarming.

The ground splits.

It opens up beneath your feet and you fall into darkness. You try to cry out, but the wind tears the sounds away from you. And they follow after. The shadows of people. Pouring in through the dwindling tear above you. As you fall, you have only one thought.

You must close it before any more can get through.

[OOC: As stated before, this is a shared dream that will be had on the night of 10/12. Use the comments below to post your character's dream that will be shared on that night. Another post will be made for the event itself and for characters to react on that day.

We urge you to try to avoid excessive gore (think the murders on Hannibal), and to flag for strong content. Such as a lot of blood, or sexual situations, etc. ]
