world_of_logs | Your greatest dreams, your worst nightmares... Well, actually just nightmares! [Open/Event]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Nightmare event, part 1! The moment anyone falls asleep, they will enter a dream world of nightmares... they might have their own nightmare to conquer or might be able to help others with theirs. Nightmares cannot be failed; they will simply have to find help if they cannot overcome it themselves.
WHERE: Anywhere!
WHEN: Future-dated to the 19th, overnight.
WARNINGS: Memory loss, possibly death, injuries, sadness, feels... will update this with more as necessary.

The moment anyone falls asleep, they will find themselves in a new dimension - one where they can float and fly on their own will. However, many of the dreamers will find themselves within their worst fears and nightmares... and they won't be able to wake up from them. If they happen to nearly die or lose the nightmare, it will simply freeze in time - they will be able to help others with theirs and bring others to help finish their nightmare so that they may wake up!

But even after all the nightmares are over, it still won't be over...

[OOC: Title your threads with a dream/nightmare name and whether they're open or closed - a few are already closed, but anyone can help with anyone's open nightmare! Have fun! The second part of the event will be coming in a day or so.]

As soon as they stepped out, Fluttershy's wing was healed up. She glanced back at the sealed entrance, sighing a little.

Turning to Tails, she nodded. "M...M-Mm...I'll...I-I'll be okay..."

Maybe.

"I-It...It actually was...something that happened, but...i-it was a while ago..."

Good thing Fluttershy's wing was healed up. They didn't exactly have anything to bandage it up or the time to recover. They still needed to find Neph and figure out the cause of all these nightmares.

"That really did happen? Did that killer get caught in the end?"

Sonic no.

Tails shot Sonic a look. "That's not a question we want to ask right now, Sonic." He looks back at Fluttershy. "If you do want to talk about it, that's fine. If not, that's fine as well. I understand how painful a memory like that can be."

A twinge of guilt hit Tails, though, remembering their conversation at the Center, and the nightmare that he just witnessed. And he understood what lesson she was trying to teach him there.

"H-He...He wasn't a killer..."

The response is soft, and maybe it's not the most relevant thing to talk about. But she just couldn't let them hold onto the wrong idea.

"I-It...wasn't his fault...Th-There was a virus that...had affected a lot of people in the city...i-it changed them...made them act in ways they n-never would...D-Donnie was just as much a victim of it as...any of us were..."

He shrugged at the look. He was about to correct her that, yes, that guy was a killer, but when she explained what really happened he remained quiet.

"Did you find out what caused that virus?"

As long as she was willing to talk about it, Tails wasn't going to say anything against it - shedding some light on the story of what happened was a good idea. It was worrying that she had to actually go through that, though - he hadn't seen anything quite like that in any of his experiences, as far as he remembered.

Soon, though, they were going to have to start looking for Nephenee - and Tails needed to explain to the both of them what was going on his own nightmare.

She shook her head a bit. "The Digital World is...unexpected sometimes. Glitches happened to us a lot while we were there...The virus was...one of the worst things that's ever happened, though..."

"Sounds like a dangerous place."

Now that they are out of there, they should focus on hand the situation.

"So do you guys have any idea what's going on here and what's causing these nightmares?"

"Well..." He crossed his arms and tilted his head a little. This was going to be a bit of a doozy. "I don't know what's causing the nightmares, but I do know that from a bit of research, we can't wake up. I assume that means all the nightmares have to be ended somehow before we can all get out of here. If we can find Nephenee and 'beat' her nightmare, we can go back to mine and see if we can win it.

"See, my nightmare's a memory too - the memory of the fight against Dr. Robotnik to restore the other Sonic into existence. Except this time, for some reason, the people that came with me didn't come and I had to go face him alone. Which I probably wouldn't have done under normal circumstances..." He paused. "He's aimed a laser at the Earth, similar to what he used on the ARK, but of course this Robotnik was before that so he doesn't remember. But there was a countdown going before he fired it and I had to get there to stop him before he could. He came out to face me in the Death Egg's core room, and had a bunch of rocket launchers and laser things aimed at me. Realizing I had no way out I braced for him killing me... except he didn't. I was thrust out of the nightmare with time paused before the weapons could hit me."

He looked back over at the two. "Which means I suppose nightmares can't be 'failed' - I have to bring in friends to fight with me since the ones I had before aren't in the memory for some reason. Which brings us back to you all. If we could find Nephenee, all four of us could win against Robotnik easily. It wouldn't solve what happened in the past, but it would cause my nightmare to vanish as well."

...More nightmares, huh? This seemed familiar.

With a bit of a sigh, Fluttershy glanced around.

"S-So...how do we find Nephenee...?"

"Good question. It took us a little while to find you."

It was mostly down to luck that they managed to get there when they did.

He just hoped he would still get to be himself this time. That was a close one when that last nightmare turned him human.

"We'll just have to hope for the best. This place is never-ending... and there's no telling what direction to go in to find someone." He was lucky enough to find Sonic, and they were lucky enough to find Fluttershy... they had to tempt fate once more.

She nodded. "O-Okay..."

If only she had the item Luna had given her back in Equestria. That probably would have made things easier.
