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.]

"[NO!]"
He simultaneously shrank out of her grip and pushed her away, crumpling to the floor as the appearance of the original melted back to that of the second.
"[I'M NOT HIM!]" he shouted, too panicked to think about contractions. He scrabbled backward along the wall and floor, trying to put some space between him and Wanda. He had been gone, his memories as meaningful to whatever it was that had replaced him as the original Vision's were to him. But somewhere, deep inside, he had known. He had known it was wrong and he had been screaming.
"[I AM NOT HIM!]" he shouted again, if only to hear the words through his own hears in his own voice again.

She didn't know what had just happened but there was a part of her screaming as well.
What if that really had been him?
no subject
"[I- I am sorry,]" he stammered. "[I did not mean to...]"

He had not known that the Nightmare King could do that.
He scrambled to his feet. "[I have to find Cassie- and the others.]"

Jonas turned to go, but hesitated. "[...I will answer it if I can.]"

He could lie. She had even given him a potential explanation for it. It could very well have been the Nightmare King, plucking something out of her head and putting it in his mouth.
But she had tried to wake him up from his nightmares, even though the latter had meant sacrificing a chance to have her husband here with her. And he did not like lying.
"[...I remember things that are not mine,]" he said. "[But I try not to, out of respect for the dead.]"
no subject
"You have his memories?" She asked softly.
no subject
"[Short answer, yes.]"
Jonas shifted his weight from foot to foot. "[I should go and see to the others. Thank you for waking me up.]"
