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.]

"There's nothing to apologise for," Ahava answered briskly. "Whatever is going on must have affected you badly to make you pass out, however. I'd like it if you would come with me to medical so I can at least check that you're doing okay now."

She didn't give him a chance to protest, taking his arm and helping him to his feet, sliding one of his long arms around her shoulders for balance when he wavered ever so slightly. "It isn't that far from here."

Thankfully. He was heavier than she'd thought.

"That's really not necessary Doctor..." But of course his protest fell on deaf ears. Well, he had been meaning to see what Medical looked like anyway. He might as well use this to his advantage.

He wavered a bit - a special effort just for her - and sighed. "Then again, it doesn't look like I have a choice."

"None at all," Ahava answered, a little of her normal cheerfulness edging back into her voice. "You should know as well as I do that a doctor just can't leave someone after they've fainted without being certain that they're alright."

That said, Ahava continued towards Medical, grateful that Muraki, while a little unsteady to begin with, didn't need to lean that heavily on her for support. It both made things easier and meant that he likely wouldn't need much more than a break to sit down for a while.
