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.]

The Sun King isn't quite as alone as he thinks he is. The doctor is so white against the darkness he almost glows.

"It's peaceful here. How long do you plan to stay?"

Apollo glances down, blinking at the doctor for a moment. He shrugs listlessly.

"Until I remember why I bother, maybe." He stares out into the darkness again. "I heard of someone named the High once. He spent years just sitting in a stone chair, thinking about the world. How to change it. I might do the same."

"Suit yourself." He replies with a shrug. "Did the High ever change the world he thought of so deeply? He sounds like a useless man."
