Several days worth of summary

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

To begin with James comes to talk to Desire.  Seems he's been having nightmares.  Bad, bad nightmares.  Desire has pity, and offers friendship.  James is confused, bitter, and sulky.  Desire is snarky and forgiving.  James is bewildered by Peter.  Desire does a brief stint sounding like an adult.  Wibble with fear.  James fails to understand the Endless.  Desire demonstraits.  James freaks.  Desire continues to sound like an adult.  The fabric of reality is shredded by this.  (Not really, but it sounds good.)  James is sulky.  Desire talks about its twin.  James is confused.  Desire names its twin.  James begins to see the light.  Light is scary.  Desire points out that they aren't allowed to kill without reason.  James is sulky.  Desire informs James that jealousy is its domain, and hands off the people it likes.  James meeps.  Desire is very itself.  James continues to meep, and misses the point.  Desire gives good advice.

Dream shows up, intending to ask about weddings.  Then gets pissy upon seeing James.  James really, really wants the nightmares gone.  Dream smiles.  James is freaked, and asks if this is revenge.  Answer?  Yes.  James asks how to get rid of them.  Dream is not reassuring.  Desire smokes.  James freaks.  Dream assures him Peter doesn't know.  Desire insists Dream not break its toy.  Dream is reassuring.  Kinda.  James considers ruining the Peter/Dream friendship.  James gets a crash course in Nyarlathotep.  James has a panic attack.  Dream has no respect for him.  James tries to figure out how to make Dream happy.  Dream isn't reassuring.  James is beginning to see just how much trouble he's in.

After this summary Dream is sitting in the bar with Del on his lap, where she'd cried herself to sleep-ish-thing.  He starts by making Jane Drew nervous, proving she's not stupid.  He explains being Endless for the umptysomethingth time.  She doesn't panic.  They talk about Will.  She goes away.

Fleur comes over and calls Dream Murry.  Poor Dream.  Fleur assumes that the woman in his lap is his woman.  Dream is mildly amused, and corrects her.  Del wonders who Murry is.  Dream and Del discuss the fact that no, she doesn't have to call him Murry, and he's still her brother.  Fleur, however, insists that Murry is a better name.  She and Del have a conversation, which confuses Del.  More than usual.  Del decides that she likes Fleur due to the fact that Fleur is pretty.  And Silly.

Inigo is drawn by the sheer amount of women around Dream and proceeds to flirt with Fleur and Del.  Del says that she and Dream aren't friends, they're family.  Inigo gives command of himself to Del.  Not bright.  Fleur is a terrible flirt, Inigo mayn't call Dream Murry, and pretty women always get liberties.  Del and Inigo confuse each other, Del tries to make Inigo happy, and succeeds in nearly giving Dream a heart attack.  Del then needs to be comforted, Inigo explains, threadlet ends.

Snow had been trying to explain Dream elsewhere.  I'm not looking for it, this is around a 400 post summary already.  Failing, she brings Bruce over to Dream.  Dream talks a lot.  Like, a lot lot.  Bruce comes away from it with the idea that Dream is King Dream.  Chalk another name up.  Bruce is adorably accurate, and goes to bed.

Today!  Liz shows up suffering the curse of Eve.  Snow and Liz talk, that's not being summarized by me.  Dream appears to talk to her.  They don't talk about where Liz has been, touch on where Del has been (mentally) and then...well, unfortunately, there is a cameo by James Potter.   Dream takes credit (blame?) for the fact that James is currently eligible for "tortured character" status, literally.  Liz isn't happy.  Dream is implacable.  Liz is Not Happy.  Dream attempts to explain.  Liz doesn't think its right.  Dream leaves.

Moiraine shows up just in time to get a kiss on the cheek, and a bow as Dream leaves.  Liz leaves.

At the same time as the Moiraine stuff, Peter arrives.  Liz and Peter have a conversation about doing dangerous things.  Peter claims it was practically safe.  Liz snaps at Peter.  Liz freaks.  Liz leaves.

Peter and Moiraine share a "Bzuh?" moment, and talk about Mogget.

Later, Dream comes back.  He's not sure why, and not happy.  Will greets, but keeps his distance.  Smart boy.  Elsewhere Andrew fanboy'ed at Bruce, who got scared.  This violates Rule #1: Don't Mess With The Mommy.  Snow drags him over to Dream.  Dream is apparently Snow's final line of defense vs. everything.  Andrew fanboys.  Dream is a bastard.  Meg comes over and is stupid.  Really stupid.  Repeatedly stupid.  Andrew and Anthy attempt to make her be not-stupid.  Andrew is freaked.  Dream takes pity.  Andrew is meepingly spine-ful.  Dream points out that he's not doing anything, Meg is.  Andrew tells him to stop anyway, and tackles Meg.  Meg wakes up.  I have no idea WTF is up with the rest of this thread.  Much of it sounds rather explicitly sexual re: Andrew/Meg.

In order to make some form of continuity, though this posted first it happens last.  Nyah.  Moiraine comes over to broody!angsting!Dream.  This may be the most IC he's ever been.  He leans into her hand, and angsts at her.  Moiraine is mildly amused, and pets his hair.  Dream attempts to explain.  Moiraine is understanding.  Dream talks about rules.  Moiraine is surprised to learn that James is an ass.  Dream attempts to explain, more.  Moiraine continues to pet him.  Liz!mun stop thinking that right now!  Dream is confused.  Moiraine moves closer, and studies his face.  Dream continues to take comfort in her touch.  Moiraine tries to get more information.  Dream is helpless, and kisses her palm.  Moiraine thinks out loud.  Moiraine is smart.  Dream is morose.  Moiraine is sympathetic.  Dream hugs her. 

There is a kiss, and Moiraine blushes and changes the subject.  Dream talks about Del.  Moiraine wonders if this is part of the Pattern, and draws on the back of Dream's hand.  He approves, and mentions that Del is mostly outside the Book.  Moiraine is smart again, Dream is disturbed and worried.  Moiraine avoids asking about the trauma.  Dream explains anyway.  Moiraine asks if Del still loves him.  Dream admits ignorance.  Moiraine starts to see the problem.  Dream worries.  Moiraine offers help.  Dream frets.  Moiraine wishes she could make things better.  Dream informs her that while things could be worse, she could not be better.  Moiraine blushes, again.  They touch each other's hair.  Stoppit, Liz!mun.  Moiraine admits to being tired.  There is another kiss, and assurances her sleep will be sweet.  Moiraine informs Dream that he knows where to find her.  The Garden, people, jeeze. 

Peter settles down with Dream and does the Peter version of "Talk to meee.  I am confuuuuuuuuse'ed!", which being Peter is much more elegant.  Dream dances around the subject.  Peter wants details.  And a seat.  Dream provides them.  And a drink.  Peter is smart.  Dream is uncommunicative.  Peter is verbose, and understanding.  Dream explains more.  Peter wants details, Dream asks if he's sure.  Peter changes his mind.  Dream is thankful.  Peter heads to bed.

Liz!mun stop thinking that right now!

You know, you really need to stop trying to anticipate my thought patterns. We've already established that I am not so twisted as you are. All you do is plant ideas in my mind. I mean, look what happened the last time you tried that. We wound up with tea!smut. I mean, really, now... ;)

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

Stoppit, Liz!mun.

And again, I say... Sheesh. A few random comments about turtles, hamsters, and the stroking of ravens, and suddenly everyone's convinced I'm a raging perv. Honestly.

*snugs*

[blue_ajah]

*eyes you very, very carefully, and a bit nervously*

There was also luggage, or rather Luggage, involved at one point. Need I say more? ;)

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

It was an educational fable. Not something just written on a lark! Maybe if I say that often enough, they'll believe it. Besides, Rami and Lynette were in on it, too!

And really, what have I done recently? Hmm? ;)

[blue_ajah]

And really, what have I done recently? Hmm?

Nothing that I can think of at this particular moment... and that actually worries me. It means something may be long overdue. ;)

*keeps a suspicious eye on you*

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

*huffs* I am utterly offended. I've half a mind to do something mind-warping now, just for that.

Jump on Bansh a little, why don'tcha? She's the one writing Endlesscest. Really now. ;P

[blue_ajah]

Er. You don't need to do something scarily mind-warping, really you don't. (*sends Moiraine to safety, or tries, at any rate*) Have tea instead. :)

Endlesscest? Oh, dear. I hadn't heard about this. Which Endless? *grin*

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

You're safe for now. I don't have the energy for something scarily mind-warping at the moment. I'd rather drink tea. ;)

Umm... Desire/Destiny, Desire/Del, Desire/Dream?

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew.

[true_desire]

Oh, faboo.
Now I get to die. ;)

luvyakthanxbyeded. XD

[blue_ajah]

Umm... Desire/Destiny, Desire/Del, Desire/Dream?

*stares. just, staaaaares. in wide-eyed shock.*

Your mind is another reality altogether, isn't it? ;)

[true_desire]

*laughs*
... I am a little in a world of my own. ;)
However! I am not bringing it into the game, really! I had encouragement!!
I blame Shati. Or whomever the hell it was that first said 'Endlesscest would be hot!' And the first one purposefully wasn't. XD

I had so much fun doing that.
... Maybe the Character and I have a little more in common than I'm willing to admit. ;)

[pjpettigrew.livejournal.com]

Peter apologises for being verbose, but is glad that Morpheus found him to be understanding.

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

Peter better continue being verbose, because we love it.

[balletrat]

Why is it I seem to be incapable of playing characters who are able to make any sort of wise decision?

[spectral-skin.livejournal.com]

Aww, but Meg was just trying to look out for Andrew. She's a silly girl, but we love her. :)

[balletrat]

Aww . . . *beams and hugs*

She may have broken into leeeeeeetle tiny pieces - but don't worry, that's not going to stop her at all from doing other equally stupid things in the future!

[spectral-skin.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

*loves the Megling*

What's your SN, btw? My AIM is AvarielWings, let me know if you don't have AIM and I'll tell you the others. Ping me sometime! :D

[balletrat]

The love is very mutual.

I'm bookelfe, and I definitely will!

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

However, if Meg had stayed out of it Dream would have taken pity on Andrew and made it less of a trauma.

[balletrat]

*wails* she can't help it! Physically incapable, really! :p

[balletrat]

By the way, Dream-mun, could you possibly ping me re: the itty tiny bitty pieces of Meg? *points to IM above, in response to Angelo-mun*

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

We can talk, 'though it says you aren't on right now.

However, he did nothing to her. Not. A. Thing.

[balletrat]

No, I'm only jumping in intermittently at the moment - I'll be on later, though, if that's all right.

And I realize that entirely - would like to offer explanation of what exactly happened to her there, for one thing.

[stilljustandrew]

"...meepingly spine-ful," huh?

Okay, I can work with that. :)

(...and yeah, so rather explicitly sexual that neither of us noticed IC...)

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

That's my favorite line in the summary!

*BFG*

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*mutters*Snow would handle more on her own if Dream-mun didn't keep IMing saying "Hey, drag him over to Dream, that'll help!"

Sorry, kinda on-edge. Must cut back severly on wonderfullness that is Milliways, classes start tomorrow. *twitch*

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Sorry...want me to stop? I enjoy helping Snow out.

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

Nah, of course not. Just real-life angst interfering with my playing, I suppose. She enjoys having the help, but I really think we should go for the have-an-actual-conversation thing I mentioned earlier; they need to speak sometime in a way that doesn't involve her dragging someone to him or strip poker. No, wait, I have this thing called 'bedtime' now. Drat.

[lord-of-dreams.livejournal.com]

I so read that as "drag someone to him for strip poker" and was thinking "But they only did that once..."

Um. Apparently I am free tomorrow.

[fairest1.livejournal.com]

*snicker*

Uh . . . Major plottage happening tonight, classes start tomorrow . . . eh, it's only orientation day, shouldn't be any problem. Sure, see you then.
