Sweet Dreams Are Made of These

Nighttime.

Or, at least, what passed for nighttime on the meatship.

A time when most of the crew was already fast asleep, dreaming away pleasantly throughout the night.

...Or, perhaps not. For you see, tonight, something particularly strange is happening.

Now it is not all that unusual for someone to have a nightmare, especially not on the ship.

Yet tonight, no one will sleep easily, for the Nightmare King deems it so.

Everyone's dreams will have a tinge of horror to them. Nothing so out of the ordinary to rouse one's suspicions, but at the same time, no one is left out.

Pleasant nightmares, meatship.

[ooc: And thus begins the start of the Nightmare King's spree of insanity. He's starting out subtle, of course. The nightmares won't be anything more than your run of the mill bad dream, but he is giving them to everyone. Posting in isn't mandatory, but if you want to have fun with your character's nightmare, go right ahead.]

A dream? A bad dream? Nanoha wanted to shiver - was this the work of the Nightmare King, then? - but didn't let herself show the weakness in front of the girl. Instead, she dropped to her knees to hug her daughter tightly, cupping the back of her head. "It's all right, Vivio," she said quietly, soothingly. "It was just a dream, whatever it was."

Vivio allowed herself to be pulled in by Nanoha as she started to calm down. "It was... it was so scary, just... if I messed up... if I disappointed you... you wouldn't punish me... would you?"

She paused, blinking down at the girl. Did she have a bad dream about... her?

"Everybody messes up, Vivio," she said, still stroking the back of the girl's head, holding her tightly. "We're just humans. But if you try your hardest and give it your all and still don't succeed, then I won't ever punish you for it."

Nanoha closed her eyes. "Were you scared that I would?"

Vivio nodded in response.

"I... I don't know what I did. I still don't. All I saw was everyone here just... laying on the floor, then there was you and Fate-mama... you all told me I was a disappointment, took Kris away a-and..."

She shivered again. She wasn't going to tell her that what Nanoha did to her at the end... if she could really remember it.

Nanoha's hug got just a little bit tighter and she "shhhh'd" the girl soothingly, rubbing her back. "It was just a bad dream, sweetie. You still have Kris, and we're not disappointed in you in all. Nobody's hurt."

But beyond her words, she just held her daughter, figuring that this might do just as much as any reassuring words.
