Nightmare # Many

Ever since the temporal anomalies, Deimonea's been nowhere to be seen. At least in the waking. She's been prowling the dreams of C.O., seeking to make heads or tails out of it all. She's learned something very, very important. There is no Dream Queen here.

The very night this discovery is made, there is a sudden plague of nightmares. Many of them drawn from your fears, but others're just strange. Experimental pieces designed to see what kind of reactions and mental states they might cause.


((OOC: Might want to check Deimonea's permissions post. If you don't want a custom-engineered nightmare, you can just get a really random and bizarre experimental one that might not even be that scary, even if it kinda hurts the brain.))

Hardly. You're free to continue as you want... as long as you answer a question of mine.

... What do YOU fear?

I doubt that. To inflict fear, you must understand fear. Don't tell me that you don't fear for anything...

[A whirlwind of purple light suddenly blows in the area few feet in front of Deimonea. The invisible entity's overwhelming presence suddenly became stronger just this instance. This presence would make most people feel as though they were reliving everything that caused them fear and dread.

From the whirlwind, a black creature now stands. It has multiple eyes on its body, jaws on its head and arms, three legs, and tentacles squirming around its hands. It had human-like characteristics, but it was clearly anything but human.

Nyarlathotep has appeared in his "Moon Howler" form.]

To not fear means that you're contradicting your own existence. You know that as much as I do.

You are a product of human beings, but you are not a machine and therefore, you possess a heart similar to humans. You've already demonstrated that you take delight in haunting others in their sleep and see it as a necessity as well.

... Huhu... Speaking of, I think I answered my own question... I know exactly what you fear.

[The seemingly dark, infinite space around the two started to shift and distort. It started taking on definite volume as completely white walls and floors started closing in on Deimonea and Nyarlathotep. They were no longer in between the dreams of the agents in Confuto Ordinato, but rather, what appeared to be a different world entirely. The only feature of this world was the white box that the two were in. There were no windows and doors, but even if there were, there would be nothing beyond the walls. This little space was all that existed of this "world".

The beast in front of Deimonea stood in front of her without saying anything. Rather, it merely waited for her response.]

What's wrong, Deimonea? I thought you'd be a little more appreciative of what I'm doing.

You're going to be a part of MY experiment. You'll find that we're the only people in this little world that I created. If I left, you'd be here all alone. Do you understand what that means for you?

You won't have any dreamers to feed or experiment on and you'll see exactly how powerless you really are. People can't always have it easy, after all.

When this is over, you will most certainly be able to answer whether a nightmare such as yourself has anything to fear. I wish you the best of luck... as you face the trial of the Crawling Chaos!

[The black creature's three jaws opened up, releasing unearthly noises that resemble something close to laughter. Nyarlathotep's tentacles squirmed and moved around faster and excitably. Nightmares are Deimonea's specialty, but Nyarlathotep was a different type of sadist who worked to remove all notions of hope from people.]

You do remember our conversation, right? I said I'll let you go if you can tell me what you fear. If you have no fears, I'm more than generous enough to give you some.

Come, writhe, squirm, and struggle all you want and show me what makes you tick! Huwahahahahah!

[A whirlwind of purple light blew around the black monstrosity and, in the same instance, it vanished, leaving Deimonea alone in this white box. As Nyarlathotep fled, the room started shrinking to the point where there was no room for other people to stand. The room worked to emphasize the fact that Deimonea was all alone and, until this hell was over, she would be still be alone.]
