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.]

"Like I'm really scared of some asshole whose best weapon is bad dreams," Steve muttered. With the frequency he had unpleasant memories and dreams, the Nightmare King might as well try to hurt people by having them sneeze.

Aang taps Steve gently on the chest with his staff and gives him the :| face.

"A second ago, you looked like you were about to flork your fire-flakes."

His expression relaxes.

"And that's okay. But to overcome fear you have to acknowledge it's there in the first place."

He shakes his head. "Dreams are the worst place for him to attack everyone. They let him hurt the mind and spirit instead of just the body--and those are the most important parts of who you are."

"Was that a redhead joke?" Steve gave him the lineface right back. "Yeah, I was startled, normally this dream doesn't have bald kids popping out of the woodwork and yanking me into the shadows."

He exhaled a little breath and motioned for Aang to follow him around the corner. "Real or not, let's go somewhere where the nice zombie dogs aren't going to chew off our legs," he said. "So how the hell do you suggest we beat this guy?"
