[OPEN] I'm wide awake the more I sleep

WHO: Albert Wesker, whomever decides to join him (presumably you!)
WHERE: Various
WHEN: Throughout July
WHAT: One big "family reunion", spanning several dreamscapes and a meeting in Bosuma.
WARNINGS: Violence (primarily strangulation), blackmail, chemically-induced brainwashing, other delightful things one would expect from the Resident Evil villain's memories? There is a blanket warning for "this is gonna suck" over this whole thing, though if there's anything more severe than what's been listed here it will be warned for in comment subjects and this heading will be adjusted accordingly as we go.



[DREAMSCAPE - BARRY BURTON]
( cw: blackmail/coercion )

[The mansion you find yourself in is large.

Honestly, for those of you who aren't strangers to Wesker's dreams, this place may seem familiar; there's very little visible difference in design or atmosphere from the Spencer estate. It used to be grand once, you can tell that much easily; you first become aware of the foyer, the high-ceilinged scale of it intimidating and speaking of former opulence that's been left to go to seed over the past few years, all cracked walls and peeling wallpaper and odd, dark stains on the floor that one certainly hopes aren't blood. There's a chandelier hanging over your head, huge and golden and ornate; once in a while it shakes gently with the settling of the building, the crystals dangling from it clinking softly together, and the whole thing just bears with it the aura that you should probably move before it comes down.

There's no definite indication that it will, of course, but do you really want to chance it?

The stairs are in just as much disrepair as the rest of the place, cracked and broken in their grand sweep up to the upper level of the building; the wainscoting on the walls is cracked and covered in what looks like water damage, and from the look of it the brass-sconced lights aren't working very well, all of them yellowed and flickering with age.

There's a hallway to your right that seems clear but dark, and another to your left that seems better-lit but your path is impeded by a set of heavy, wooden crates standing about waist-high.

Will you explore?]



[DREAMSCAPE - JILL VALENTINE]
( cw: chemically-induced brainwashing )

[The room is empty.

It's large and expensive-looking, all marble floors and tall columns stretching up toward the ceiling, but it's alarmingly, oppressively empty in a way that sets one's teeth on edge - like there should be something here, you can almost feel it, but there's quite simply and inexplicably nothing. The initial gradeur of the room seems to fall away the longer you look; the floor is pockmarked with bullet holes, one of the walls to your left is broken open in places, revealing a dark hallway beyond it, and the entire area is bathed in dim light streaming in from the double doors on the second floor, visible behind a thick railing up a set of stairs. The stairs, too, bear battle scars from bullets and strange, long gauges alike, but they're sturdy and pose no threat of collapse.

If you listen long enough, however, you'll find that it's likely you're not alone.

It's difficult to tell where the sound is coming from, distorted though it is by the hollowness of the room; it may take a moment to place, but it's the soft sounds of someone in pain - someone breathing heavily, the exhales accompanied by a quiet, involuntary sound that's both determined and deeply pained.

Something obviously happened here. It's just difficult to say precisely what, at this exact moment. Or who's left.]



[DREAMSCAPE - CHRIS REDFIELD]
( cw: violence )

[The place you're in is dingy, lit with the occasional fluorescent strip above that flickers and blinks dangerously from time to time but never properly goes out. It's straightforward, this place - just one long, narrow corridor stretching on in front of you, and leading back into the distance if you turn around; the walls are all mottled grey and made of metal, and the floor is covered in hollow grating that trembles and clanks as you walk.

It doesn't offer you anywhere to go, should there be trouble from either in front of or behind you.

Somewhere down the corridor in front of you, echoing softly off the metal and the dead, tight space, you think you can hear something - it sounds like a woman singing. A soft, high melody, unaccompanied and untrained but not unpleasant to listen to, even if it's at enough of a distance that you can't make out any words.

Underneath that, however, there's another sound - quieter, but perhaps more ominous in nature - a mechanical whirring, the light clink of something moving toward you.

That latter sound is coming from behind and above you.]



[BOSUMA - WILLIAM BIRKIN]
( cw: none )

[The last time Wesker had been in these woods, it hadn't gone well.

He's never been the sort to be afraid, and while that incident had shaken him he isn't one to remain complacent in his uncertainty; he's out here today with the handgun and the rifle and a fully-charged phone this time, and if something happens he's got something he texted himself with pulled up already - a crash course in who he is and what he was doing here, lest that get stripped away from him again.

The guns are for the monsters he may run into here; depending on how things go, the guns might also be for the witch. He doesn't like that idea, but it's the one he keeps coming back to; he'll keep it in his head where it belongs for now. But eventually there's movement in those woods, and the movement looks like a person and he's got Samurai Edge out and he's pointing it directly toward the person's face when he quite suddenly realizes who he's looking at.

To his credit, Birkin doesn't flinch.

The man looks exactly as Wesker remembers him; it isn't enough to get Wesker to put the gun down. Seeing Birkin is...alarming, it's a sign that is either very good or very bad, and Wesker can't seem to decide which this is; his grip on the gun is tight, and it remains that way until Birkin addresses him.

He doesn't speak when it's a very bad sign.

The words are easy, shifting around in the way that Birkin's voice always does - he's always been the talkative sort, and he's never as cold with Wesker as he is with the others. "You're acting like you don't know me," he says, and he shrugs a little, and he leans back a little as he says it. "You do know me, don't you? It hasn't been that long."

"Put the gun down," he says, and Wesker's already lowering it before he can finish the sentence; "Come on," he says, "just for a few minutes. We've got a lot to catch up on," and when Wesker pausess he looks like he's seriously considering.

This whole thing is surreal, it's... He breathes deeply.

"You've always liked this, right? Just like we used to."

He takes a little longer to exhale than he'd like, his breath leaving him in a rush; he isn't saying yes, but he isn't saying no, either.]

What's that sound...?

[Howard doesn't like the look of this place one bit. He squints into the darkness of the corridor, unsure what to do. The song sounds nice, but...that sound. That overbearing mechanical sound.]

I-I don't want to find out. [He mutters - he has to make a decision, so he moves down the corridor, in the direction of the voice. Hopefully, that will be a better way than...in the direction of that thing, whatever it is.]

[Heading out to Bosuma after what happened the last time Wesker went out here isn't exactly Jaeger's idea of a good time. With that said, he's always been curious, so it's not like he put up much resistance to coming out here. After all, it's better if they go together, right? So here they are and here's someone else - he's talking to Wesker like they know each other, and given how he's speaking to Wesker and his incredibly boring appearance, Jaeger can only come to one conclusion.]

Ah, so this is Birkin.

[He's got his weapon out and already transformed into its scythe form. He's absolutely not lowering his weapon, but his gaze flicks to Wesker to see if he's followed Birkin's words.]

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-13 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[The hesitation is enough to make him wary, but he'd probably be wary regardless. Seeing someone from Wesker's past life here is definitely not a good sign, and Jaeger's expecting this to go south any moment now.]

Just be careful, ja? We don't know what this is.
scythegun: (HUH ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-13 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Jaeger tips his head a bit at that.]

...Well, I hope it's okay if I tag along! I doubt I could find my way back on my own anyway!

[That's absolutely not the reason why, but he's not sure just how aware Birkin is so he's just going to play it safe for now.]
scythegun: (RELAXED ⇝ hahaha wow)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-13 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, yes, he knew there was a reason he disliked this guy besides his (incredibly boring) face.

Jaeger smiles and his words are just as superficial when he responds.]


I doubt the two of you could really be that boring, ja? You don't need to worry about me!
scythegun: (PA ⇝ thanks i hate it! ☆)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-13 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Jaeger does not like this and even though he's still smiling, Wesker probably won't have any trouble telling that he's on edge. Transforming his weapon back is striking him as a bad idea; it takes him a moment to transform it and even though he's practiced with it he's still not nearly as fast as he was in his past life. If he needs to do it in a hurry, he might not be quick enough. He's not sure how willing Wesker will be to kill Birkin - he imagines Wesker will if it becomes necessary, but what Wesker decides is "necessary" might differ from Jaeger's definition.

(Then again, he's already irritated, so maybe he's the one with the wonky definition here.)

Finally he lifts his shoulders a bit and transforms the weapon back into its briefcase form. He doesn't like it, but he does trust Wesker.]


Very well, I'll play nice!
scythegun: (OKAY ⇝ "regaey" is yeager backwards)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-13 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well, I do enjoy fighting...

[Listen. He. He knows, okay. He just doesn't like Birkin's face or his attitude. He's kind of a mess, okay.]

But I'll be good, I promise.

[This does seem familiar. The first order of business is to move away from that chandelier, and Jaeger picks the left path to go check out the crates. Anything particularly noteworthy about them? Can he just move them aside so he can continue down the path?]
scythegun: (... ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-16 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll move one just to get a better idea of where they're all at. Hmm.

Yeah, you know what, climbing over them is going to be much faster and it's not like he has anyone to pretend to be dignified in front of, so just give him a moment to get over these things and land on the other side. Alright! What's the rest of this path look like?]
scythegun: (OKAY ⇝ "regaey" is yeager backwards)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-21 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Shame he doesn't have a light or anything... He doesn't like that corner either, so he'll take a moment to transform his weapon before approaching. He'll pause to listen first, but if there isn't any noise he'll just turn the corner, fully expecting to come face-to-face with something awful.]
scythegun: (WHAT ⇝ but i'm very rich)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah. That's. Promising. He's not particularly paying attention to the floor so uh. Is the floor just opening up beneath him or is he walking into an abyss here, how poorly is this going to go.]
scythegun: (OKAY ⇝ "regaey" is yeager backwards)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-22 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Well at least he didn't fall to his death and end the thread immediately?? At least there's that...

Anyway, he really doesn't like the noises the floor's making, but there's light at the end of the hallway, and that's a good enough reason for him to carefully pick his way over there, doing his best not to stay in one spot for too long just in case the floor gives way. So! Can he get the door open once he's over here?]
scythegun: (... ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-07-22 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely a check first! What, do you think he's from a Resident Evil game?? No way! He'll listen in first - anything noteworthy?]
