[Hi everyone how has your weekend of nightmares gone? Terribly? Great! Ready for more? No? Too bad.]

[If you're traveling around in the nightmares, you'll come across an area that seems like no one has turned on the lights - it's pitch black and you can't see past that]

[Overall the space gives off a cold feeling. Really cold, like it should be snowing in here. Sound is easy to pick up, in fact it's almost like someone turned up the volume way loud on the world. You can hear your own heartbeat, that small squeak of your sneakers, your own breath. If you have bad lungs? Well now you know. Cut out those cigarettes or inhaling chemicals already! You sound terrible!]

[There doesn't seem to be anyone else around. In fact you get the overwhelming sense that you are nothing short but purely alone and that's the way it always is. ]

[Though, that will probably change real soon now that there are spectators]

[OOC: Same deal as Allen's post a couple days ago. Nightmares will sorta be tailored based on people's desires level of trauma or aspect. You can find out what sort of stuff you can be in for here! Anyone's welcomed!]

[ A shaky exhale and Arya's hand clamp over her ears in hopes the sounds will dull. The cold burns her as she breathes it in. When she speaks it's more to test the sound of her voice than in hopes anyone will respond. ]

Hello?

[wilder]

[the sounds do dull! The cold doesn't let up though, and that explains as the scene lightens up and you find yourself in the gardens of some nobility home. Rather simplistic ones, with some trees lining along the wall. You can't tell what kind of flowers are around because of one reason]

[It seems to be snowing, pretty heavily too! At least enough to blanket the entire city into looking like a winter wonderland]

[persequor]

[ The hands drop slowly from her ears. Arya stares up at the flakes falling in the closest thing to wonder she has felt since finding the dragon skulls under the Red Keep. Instantly, she knows these are not summer snows. Too heavy, the blankets on the ground too thick.

It's winter. It's snowing in winter.

She takes two steps out, a quiet, happy gasp on her lips. ]

[inafadingcrown]

[She had thought her Elven hearing sharp enough, but this is incredible. Irritating. She can even hear the sounds of her nearly silent footsteps. She exhales, watching her breath hit the air and waiting for something to emerge from the darkness.]

[wilder]

[For Galadriel, the volume doesn't stop. Instead it probably gets worse, as the scene lights up to be an entire city with a lot of humans and half-elves milling about. Not that they are that easy to tell apart from the occasional set of pointed ears- since in Tethe'alla even humans have hair colors of all colors of the rainbow. ]

[Though, they sure seem to be looking at you like you're something else when they see you]

[inafadingcrown]

[She's not entirely unused to stares, though most at least attempt to hide them in her presence. This is something different, however, and it unnerves her somehow.

She just glares at any unfortunate enough to look at her in a way that displeases her. They should know better.]

[echivoc]

[ Thanks for pointing out his lungs suck, whoever's nightmare this is. Cross slides his hands in his jacket, the temperature reminding him of cool, snowy days from way back when. Now, what will greet him in this nightmare? ]

[wilder]

[ANYTIME CROSS. Suddenly there's a bright light that seems to come from behind, and feathers that fly everywhere. It's quickly gone as it's went. Though you do suddenly find yourself feeling quite dizzy and feverish]

[lord_wizard]

[Felix's hand clutches lightly at his own throat, as if trying to quiet the noise as he stands shivering and confused in the emptiness]

[wilder]

[Don't worry Felix, the sound might not go away but things suddenly stop becoming less empty as the scene changes to what seems to be a very fancy banquet. In fact there's even a nice waiter gesturing for you to sit at the chair at the head of it!]

Right this way, my lord.

[lord_wizard]

[That's a little easier to handle than the nothingness. It's almost inviting and in a way familiar, though he can't place any of the faces. He turns a weak smile on the waiter though]

Where they waiting for me?

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna sure has missed this overwhelming feeling of aloneness. No, really.

Sarcasm aside, the boy brings his arms around himself, letting out a soft huff. He's aware of his enhanced hearing, but doesn't pay particular attention to it. Right now, he's just driven to keep walking forward to find... something. Anything, really.]

[wilder]

[Keep walking forward, soon you'll hear what sounds to be a person's voice. Not anyone you probably recognize just yet, but they don't sound happy with you]

This is all your fault!

[not_mafia]

Eh?

[Tsuna stops and looks around.]

Is anyone there?

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena peered into the darkness, trying to see whatever she could. Gods, it was cold; her fingers were stiff and numb, making it pointless for her to even try to hold her Fire Cards and use their magic, so she wrapped her arms about her in a meager effort to get warm.

Moving would probably help, and she started walking, despite not being able to see exactly where she was going. Maybe she'd find someone who'd could throw her in front of a fire.]

H-Hello? Is anyone there?

[wilder]

[Sheena have you ever gotten the feeling like something is chasing you and you should run? ]

[Well if the sudden presence behind you that sounds like it's unsheathing a weapon means anything, it's filling you with that absolute fear and feeling you should do just that]

[ninjainviolet]

[Yes, although that doesn't mean it's the course of action taken.]

[However, this time, she's smart enough to realize that she doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of fighting against anyone in her current condition, so the moment she recognizes that rasping sound for what it is, she's off like a shot.]

[luthored]

[ Her heart is definitely pounding, despite telling herself she should be used to this by now. But she'll never be used to it, and her frustration and fear of the unknown this time only makes her breaths more uneven.

Reaching out, Lana tries to find something stable to grab onto; a wall, a door, or heck a light switch would just be superb. ]

[wilder]

[A wall works! The place seems to light up to be a mansion of some sort. In the hallway.]

Um...hello?

[And oh look, you have the company of a child]

[foolreversed]

[oh great, cold. Adachi doesn't like cold, so his hands are instantly around his arms, shivering. And wow this heightened hearing and darkness isn't making him feel much better.

He closes his eyes, waiting for this whole thing to pass]

[wilder]

[Except it won't pass that easy. It warms up a bit as the sun starts shining, bringing you out to some sort of fields from a clearing i the forest. Though in front of you? Seems to stand massive gates of some sort of ominous looking cross between a camp and a fortress, if you open your eyes.

[Zelos and a few others stand looking up at it, next to you, as if they are trying to figure out how to get into this place]

[heal_theworld]

[Martel has had enough of darkness. She had been trapped in it multiple times now, and it was getting old at this point. She doubts anyone would answer her, but she decides to call out anyway.]

...hello?

[wilder]

[The scene opens up to what appears to be a funereal scene in a rather posh city. It's raining out and the entire atmosphere is dreary- very fitting for it. There are many nobles about, attending the funeral and yet...spending the time to gossip to one another about the situations that led up to all this]

[Meanwhile there's a young boy with familiar bright red hair in a small black suit, standing in front of the grave. He definitely looks pensive, but he's not crying. Instead he's just standing and watching]

[pocketmage]

[ Pitch black... Genis is easy to frighten, and the fact that he can't see anything is a good start. Despite this, he finds an urge to keep moving- and he does, hearing every footstep and breath he takes with acuity. At first, it makes him stop right in his tracks- and then, he simply continues, trying desperately to find some place he can see.

The feeling of being alone forever is starting to make him anxious, and he breaks into a run, even if he knows he'll probably trip. ]

[wilder]

[He'll run right into what seems to be the Cathedral of Meltokio. You remember this place at all? Well it looks like there was some sort of choir practice here, but they've taken a break for lunch. Young girls and boys all dressed up in formal nobility clothes that's proper for church are all sitting in groups as they eat their lunches, talking to one another]
