Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

Day 515 ( Sept. 25/26 ): Progress through the ice blockade will be slow and narrow, as they can't possibly hope to clear the entirety of the forest that has been buried under Thiazi's black ice. Now that they know the source of her magic's corruption, it might not come as a great surprise when cracking open the ice unleashes a strange burst of magic.

At the halfway point between Utgard and Asgard, a pulse of energy will move through the entire city, immediately putting every mortal it touches to sleep. This part of the curse is mandatory and your character must fall asleep; the dream effects of it are not mandatory, and can be played with at your discretion. During this first wave, Travellers will be granted a brief dream - that does not belong to them. They will see, from the dreamer's point of view, every hope and goal and aspiration that the dreamer wishes to complete before the end of days. Whether it's simply confessing their love to an old friend or saving their home planet or perfecting an Asgardian pie, your character will see someone else's ideal resolution before Ragnarok. More on plotting this below!

Upon waking, the Travellers will be plagued with the indistinct whispering of several voices overlapping one another and a slight headache. Both symptoms will gradually increase over time until it reaches incapacitating pain and nausea. The only way to assuage the symptoms is to find the owner of the dream and either maintain physical contact for an hour or discuss the subject of the dream until a full confession has been made. After that, the symptoms will fade and the Travellers will be free to carry on with their day.

There will be other pulses of magic at random throughout the day; these are not mandatory and you can feel free to have your character experience as many or as few dreams as you wish. All dream-sharing will cease by the end of the day, as the blockade progresses past that centre-point of magic.

[ Aside from that wound she's looking ... pretty all right. Could jut be a very good act, of course, but it still makes him frown, puzzled. He's feeling less than all right.

That wound, though, does distract him. ]

What happened to you?

( oh, she certainly feels less than all right. she's got one hell of a headache brewing (from the fall? hm.) and the nasty sense of voices in her head. that with the dizziness made her definitely not all right. chances of admitting anything of the sort to him, however, were slim. )

I had a mishap. ( she returned primly, glancing at the handkerchief and frowning at the blood on it. ) I'm sure it will heal quite quickly.

( a beat. )

As much as I am in favour of social calls, now does seem to be a strange time.

( get to the point, john. stop being distracted by your doctor-ly sensibilities. )

[ He sighs, and rubs at his forehead. ]

I saw ...

[ A pause, and a shake of his head. ]

Did you see anything? Anything kind of ... weird.

( her eyes and her tone sharpens. )

What did you see?

( she's going to pointedly ignore his question about what she might have seen. recounting the tale of his familial bliss would just .. reinforce what she had seen and saying it aloud might make it even more real. she'd intruded on a private moment; she was an intruder.

her main concern was figuring out whether or not he had seen what she had dreamed. )

You and Sherlock. You were talking to him, but he wasn't answering.

[ It's easier to just keep it vague. And, anyway, since it was her she probably knows it anyway. Possibly? Hard to be certain of how exactly this works. ]

( colour flares in her cheeks - is she .. actually blushing? maybe she's angry. regardless, it takes her a moment to answer him and she sucks in a quiet breath. )

It was only a dream.

[ That ... really does look like a blush, and he's shocked. Quite obviously so. ]

Yeah, true.

[ He licks his lips. ]

Did I ... ever come up in a conversation you two actually had?

[ The concept is so strange to him. Weren't they just fascinating to each other? How does he play a part in this at all? Aside from being Sherlock's shadow. ]

Perhaps. Once or twice.

( she's back to being evasive. she doesn't have to tell you anything that you haven't already seen, john. )

Our game was much more important, at the time.

( where exactly does john fit in? a few months ago, he wouldn't have. but after living with him, getting to know him in asgard - she could see why he was important to sherlock, in ways that kate had never managed to be important to her. she didn't flatter herself to think that she would ever be able to take his place, but she also recognized that sherlock without him would be a complete and utter mess.

irene adler, simply put, did not have friends. she had connections, she had helpers, she had others. the closest thing she had to a friend, kate, had received a monthly paycheck from her.

friendship was worth preserving. )
