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.]

Nori smiled very slightly at Aang's comment about the hair, although it was gone a second later and she was in agreement that they needed to get the hell away from where they were. She moved after Julian, rolling her eyes at his back.

"I don't even know who that is, Julian."

"This way!"

He leads, and somehow seems to know where he's going. Funny thing, his steps are so light, you can barely hear them on the ground.

As he traipses along, looking back for them to follow, his expression brightens tremendously, and he says "...Wait, Katara said I was her boyfriend?"

Priorities, Aang.

...

"Oh god," Julian facepalmed, "I'm the one dreaming this..."

He dreamed of being naked and in bed... with Nori.

He dreamed of having kids... with Nori.

He dreamed of being one of the last mutants remaining... with Nori.

...that's just...

Ok, fine, if you subtract the fact that she's, well, Noriko Ashida, she's kind of hot. But he didn't like her like that. Actually, despite the fact that they worked well together as a team, he still wasn't sure if he liked her at all.

Though that kiss was kind of IT NEVER HAPPENED

...but why the hell was Aang there?

"You're a figment of my imagination," he told Aang. "Shouldn't you know all of that? She said she loves you."

He was so never going to talk about this dream.

"Can we have social drama after we escape the sentinels, please?" Nori sounded more than a little annoyed at all of this. Which, she was. After the few times she let her personal dramas get in the way of a mission, she's understandably now a little intolerant of the whole thing.

"That's still not the same as introducing me as her boyfriend to people. That's great! Did she--"

Oh right. Giant metal monsters, yep. Gotta worry about those. But hey, they're running, aren't they?

"And this isn't just one of your nightmares. It's both of your nightmares. The Nightmare King's influence is making it so people can cross over into each other's nightmares. It's only going to get worse from here. You're each just as real as each other, and I'm just as real as the both of you are."

Julian was still moving. Though he did pause for a moment when he found out that, apparently, he was sharing a dream with Nori and Aang.

...which made several things make sense. But also meant that he had actually been in bed with Nori. Naked. And he groped her.

"I'm so going to need a shower when I wake up."

He'll dwell on that later, though. They had to keep moving.

"So what's the deal with this Nightmare King guy anyway? What is he, like, the Shadow King? Some psychic bad guy?" Which, if that was the case, they could just sic Jean on him.

Well it being both their nightmares cleared things up a little. It also creeped her out a little, but if this Nightmare King guy was causing it... whatever.

"How exactly are we supposed to fight this?" Point her at something she could electrocute or punch into submission, and she was great. But she was never much of a fan of all the mindgame crap that sometimes came with the X-Man lifestyle.

"He has to be banished. Off the ship. Other people are working on it. In the meantime, you need to try to learn to keep him out if there's anyone on the skyship that can teach you," Aang says, deftly hopping over a low-hanging branch in the trail.

"I don't know who the Shadow King is either, but the Nightmare King is--he's not a person. He's not alive. He's something like a spirit--but not one like me or any spirit I've ever met."

"So basically he's the Shadow King," Julian reiterated. And they had a not-Phoenix Jean Grey and Chamber as their prime telepaths, and no Cerebro on board.

...they were probably boned.

"Thaaaat's just great."

God, Nori hated situations where she couldn't just electrocute the $#!& out of something and be done with it. Groaning a little, she rubbed her forehead.

"Okay, so the more immediate question is, how the #^@& do we get out of this stupid dream?"
