Jun. 10th, 2015 11:42 amWoke up at just past 5 again. Closed teh blinds behind the curtain and went back to bed in the renewed dark. Woke up nowish.
Neither 5 nor 11 are my preferred wake up times.
So that's not optimal.
I dreamed something about ... not actually the Black Jewels trilogy, I spent some of the 0500 time until I got sleepy double checking what I thought of that and how it worked and apparently I got rid of those like a decade ago on account of them being a bit rubbish. But kind of like it in that there were power gems and jet was the darkest the living could get and probably the most powerful. But vampires could access a darker jewel and draw power from blood sacrifice so their fatigue was pretty much endless. So vampires were always on the lookout for jet jewels and tried to bind such powerful people to them and make them vampires and then conquer the world or whatever. So therefore everyone else was on the lookout for jet as well, and it was very awkward to wear. I wore my birth rubies instead of the jet I'd grown up into, much less bother.
There was a whole plot with Spike who had been hanging out with me as William but got taken and turned and Charles Xavier, my closest adviser, wanted to stake him right away for fear of his influence on me, but I wanted to see how it turned out. Will had been kind of more of a Watcher, interested in the occult and spirit magic like I was reading up on before bed last night, as well as being a poet. I guess poetry helps write rituals anyway. But I wanted to see what he'd do, how he'd react to his new state. And of course being Spike what he did was go off and get his soul back. Which lead to a whole new set of possibilities for vampires.
It also meant I could bind him to me in such a way I got access to vampire deepening of power without myself becoming a vampire, though I'd have to let his teeth near my throat on the regular. Not a hardship, in context.
Then there was the thing with El, who used to be a lawyer, having started as an intern and worked his way up, but found out exactly how far the company would go and found also his own moral line. He brought them down and then joined the military, in no small part for protection. Twelve years later he came back with a very distinctive skillset, and returned to his lady love. Me of course.
So then there were three boyfriends with Mind/Body/Spirit focused powers, that you could model with magery, and I probably will if I don't think of anything better to do with my afternoon.
I spent much of the dream wondering why we'd need that much power and trying to figure out what possible enemies there could be and what we needed to do with it all. There was something about semi visible ultraterrestrials maybe? I hadn't figured it out. I just got enough power to rule the world and wasn't particularly interested in ruling the world and figured it had to be a response to some outside force.
Figuring out decent enemies for extreme powersets takes a lot of work.
