Wanda sat before one of the terminals in the media library. She'd come to try and find more information on mystical phenomena and training, after all there were whole new worlds different from her own. The laws had changed, so to speak. Unfortunately whatever she found was too dry for her to focus on. She was used to hands on experience, nothing this esoteric. She sighed and leaned back.

If she were honest with herself, the reason she was having trouble with the reading material wasn't because it was boring (even if it was) or poorly worded. She missed her family. She missed her friends. She missed her home. She even missed her neighbors. Well, some of them. But none of them had deserved to die.

And then there was what Bobby had said.

As hard as she tried not to think about it, the thoughts crept into her mind.

It's hard to keep track of time on the ship, which makes it harder for Lyle to tell when he's overworking himself. He seems to have overdone it a bit at the moment, and he's escaped to a Sensorium to relax.

Normally, he looks for people to chat with to regain his strength, but a recent dream has put him in more of a nostalgic and thoughtful mood. Still, it's almost a surprise to him when he enters the room and switches it to a rocky, barren landscape. His strongest memories of this place were a long, long time ago.

It does make sense. Being sent to Durla after everything that'd happened had turned out to be a blessing. He had people to talk to and new philosophies to learn, and he also had the surface. It was barren of any buildings and completely open to the sky--the clearest sky he'd seen on any planet.

He lies back and stargazes, but it's not long before he begins to feel that it's too easy to think here. Lyle sits up and begins to dust himself off, debating where else to go.

It is that time again, meatship.

Once again, the King of Nightmares has deigned to spread his touch to all of your dreams.

This time, however, he has decided to give them a much more personal touch, sending his very own children to visit each and every one of you, slowly sowing the seeds of madness within all of you.

Such a kind and loving king he is, isn't he?

[ooc: Alright folks, Nightmare King is ramping things up a bit. These nightmares are a good bit more dangerous now, and he's sending in his minions to make things a little more real. The nightmares will be of a much more serious nature this time, designed to start driving the crew slowly insane. Characters are more likely to run into nightmare minions in the guise of someone or something that will tug at the edges of their sanity. Also, this time, the characters can have joint dreams, as these nightmares are of a more mystical nature this time. Once again, tagging in isn't mandatory, but if you want to, go crazy (literally)!]

[Additional Note: Any injuries won't be carrying over to real life at this point in the plot but don't worry, we'll get there eventually!]
