From Beyond
The crew will see them slinking off, disappearing around hallways--shifting shadow shapes and the backs of heads ducking around corners. They're always people they think they know. Dead loved ones, perhaps, or loved ones they're not sure are dead or alive. They lead crew members into dangerous places, sudden drops, parts of Stacy where things can go wrong.
And they do go wrong. Floors drop out. Ducts become damaged somehow, invisibly, and suddenly spew hot steam. Around the children, items slam into walls--poltergeist activity.
Whether these are really those lost souls, or just illusions, is hard to tell. Either way, those that are part-ghost or have supernatural powers will have a helluva workout. The upside is the presence of the ghosts might disrupt the Waking Dreams to allow people to escape them more easily.
Which is good because the dreams will start to cause injuries now. Real ones.
And refusing to go to sleep doesn't save you when the dreams can happen while you're awake.
[ooc: Waking dreams will continue--and start causing injuries. Furthermore, ghostly apparitions will start to cause poltergeist activity and lead the crew into danger. Start to raise the alarm, meatship. It's starting.]

"...Grandma? Is that you?" Vivio asked.
Outside, Sacred Heart flailed in a futile attempt to stop Vivio.

Bardiche was in Scythe Form now, and she swung with all the strength she had, but still the barrier didn't break. A shock went through her as Bardiche's blade slammed against the invisible wall, and she was thrown back again.
It hurt, but she still staggered to her feet. She didn't know what was going on, or what her mother was planning... but she couldn't give up.

The Device was scared. There was nothing it could do to help Vivio.

No. That wasn't going to happen. There was no way she would let that happen.
"Haken Slash."
Fate raised her scythe, focusing all her magic into her attack. The blade, which could now(hopefully) cut through most barriers, glowed brightly as she slashed forward. It hit the barrier, and again a shock jolted through Fate's body, but she stood firm.
Thin cracks were appearing in the barrier. But not just the barrier... they continued along the stone walls, the floor, and even up towards the high ceiling. And then...
It was like glass shattering. All at once, the barrier, the surrounding room, and the surprised illusion of Precia Testarossa disappeared, leaving only Fate, Vivio, and Sacred Heart alone in what was definitely one of the meatship's hallways.
Fate dropped to her knees, taking a few shaky breaths. That attack had taken a little more out of her than she thought it would, but she didn't mind. Vivio was safe; that's all that mattered.

"FATE-MAMA!" Vivio called out, turning and noticing her other mother on her knees. "F-Fate-mama, are you alright?!" Racing over, she threw her arms around Fate, hugging her.
"Th...that... that was grandma... wasn't it? Why...? Th-that look... what was...?" The girl pulled back to look at Fate, confusion and fear on her face. "...was she going to hurt me?"
no subject
A part of her, that irrational, stubborn part that had been growing stronger and stronger over the past few weeks, wanted to blame herself for what just happened. It had been her nightmare, obviously, and Vivio had gotten caught up in it...
