I can feel the madness slowly creeping in...

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!]

The Reavers had been bad enough. At least with them, though, Kaylee had known what to expect. They would rape her, peel her skin off, make her eat her own organs--the kinds of things the cheerful mechanic would never think about on a daily basis. They somehow made it into her dreams, though.

The engine room was no good to hide in, this time. It had already been destroyed, and the limbs of her crewmates and family now made gruesome chains from wall to wall. Heads and torsos made ugly ornaments, hanging down from the ceiling. Kaylee had found her way down to the cargo bay, stowed herself away in the wall.

Waiting.

It was too quiet outside. Any kind of noise would have been better. She would have been able to tell what was happening, would have kept some form of hope with the crew still fighting.

Waiting.

There were footsteps. Familiar, bare feet. Kaylee didn't dare move. River's feet passed by, the sound of blood dripping from a knife accompanying them. The mechanic almost breathed a sigh of relief, but the footsteps stopped.

"She's there."

The grating over her hiding place was ripped away, and Early's face appeared over her. There was a gash running down his cheek, the result of Jayne's attempted defense. Kaylee had all too much time to look into his hard eyes, eyes excited for what was about to come.

He pulled her out of her hiding place by her throat and held her back against him. Her toes barely reached the ground as she struggled, gasping for breath, trying to get away as River came closer with the knife. She couldn't breathe, couldn't scream, as the flat side of the blade ran down her arm. "Hush, little Kaylee," River said softly, as if it were all a game. "We only need one more arm..."
