Beyond the Walls of Sleep
Slowly but surely, the nightmares have been chipping away at the mental defenses of the crew.
Even those who attempt to stay awake to avoid the nightmares find themselves too on-edge to completely concentrate their defenses.
And the Nightmare King has not been idle during all this, no. He has been slowly feeding off the crew, gathering his strength so that he may yet break free from his prison.
And he now uses that new found power, reaching out to affect the minds of the crew even in the waking world. Even those avoiding sleep will find themselves drifting in and out of their nightmares, bringing everyone a taste of despair.
After all, no one can escape the grasp of the King of Nightmares.
No one.
[ooc: OH NOEZ. As you can guess, the Nightmare King is getting stronger. As such, the crew will start experiencing waking dreams. These are much more subtle than the normal nightmares, however, and are more so depressing and surreal than actually brain-breaking. Mostly they would be miserable versions of the character's normal life, or perhaps even their life on the ship.]

...if this is a dream...
...and she recognizes this girl. "Stand on my own," she says again, quietly, before reaching up to the windowsill, trying to pull herself up to her feet - and her legs buckle under her, useless, sending her crashing right back down again.
But she grabs the windowsill a second time.

Once more, her legs give out, refusing to support her weight. But it doesn't dissuade her, and she reaches up to stand up a third time.

Fate's alive. She's her wonderful girlfriend, and together they adopted Vivio. She recognizes Roxie now, too. This isn't real, this is a dream - a nightmare.
The next time she pulls herself up, her legs are shaky... but they hold.

Roxie is busy. She has people to help and things to do.
