WALKING NIGHTMARES EVENT INFO
We've all had them, the nightmares that seem so real that you feel like they really happened, like you're still in them when you wake up. You can feel your teeth fall right out of your mouth, or the claw marks of a monster chasing you through the woods, or the hot red embarrassment hot on your cheeks in the knowledge that your entire school just saw you naked.

On day 422 (April 3-9) we're making those nightmares a touch more real. For the duration of the day, the characters' nightmares will come to life! How this happens is up to you! It can be something harmless like sitting for an exam that you haven't studied for, or something much more horrific. We encourage you to get creative with this!

If you die in a dream, do you die for real? - Nightmares themselves can not kill you for this event. You can however die as a cause of it. For example, a monster can't kill you but jumping out the window to escape it will. Maybe you're seeing zombies everywhere and accidentally murder a fellow inmate as a result of it? You can of course still believe that you're bleeding out from dream injuries, or something similar!

Multiple nightmares? Shared nightmares? Seeing someone else's nightmare? Sure thing! Feel free to mix and match throughout the day, as long as you talk to the players involved first!

What about afterwards? Will they remember? Will they get punished? The nightmares will remain as vivid memories, just like a real waking experience. The rules will not be in effect for this event, though the characters won't know that!

Opt out? Your character simply won't experience any of this!

Questions? Ask them here!

• Ianto - I don't know, I feel like I've just done so much drama for him lately haha. Maybe something Tyki or Torchwood trauma/Canary Wharf related but I don't know. I'll wait and see what Jack and Spike are doing and then decide so check back for him.

• Phanan - Chuck will be gone and he won't be able to find her, which includes if she's standing there talking to him. So on the one hand aww their love is adorable but then also aww sad.

• Kanji - I think we all agree he deserves the typical forgot you had to give a presentation to the class and you're in your underwear dream.

• Aigis - A variation on her dream from the Answer, I think, where she keeps seeing the main character waking away from her and can't catch up no matter how hard she tries.

	I have some Pretty Horrific Shit planned for Spike potentially so maybe it's not a super bad idea if at least one of them isn't freaking the fuck out. I'm also waiting to see what Anna's got cooking tho so things may change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emotional supportive boyfriend activate then! Do I get to know what this Pretty Horrific Shit is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm still working out the details but it'll probably be something along the lines of "brutally murdered everyone he cares about in his sleep" kind of thing. Waking up in a bed full of blood. That sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Unfortunately, I'm going to be away on hiatus next week (family trip to Venice for hubby's 50th and then I'm in a show all day Saturday!) so won't be around to play anything out in this event. :-(

On the other hand, perhaps I could do some kind of nightmare where Jack is invisible and helpless and can't interact with anyone, so we could do after-the-event reactions instead?

Or actually I guess Spike could just have murdered him in his sleep...!

	oooh boy are we talking actually murdered or dream murdered because that would lead to very different aftermaths! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Up to you - however much drama you want to deal with! g (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Actually murdered might lead to way too much fall out, when I think about it. Dream murdered at least gives him some chance of not finding a stake soon as the event is over! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2017-03-29 03:56 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, you're probably right. Why don't we go with the invisible/disappeared idea then, and then Spike can spend the day wondering if he has actually murdered him (but not staking himself because he knows it's an event and will hopefully be reversed) and then perhaps the next day they can wake up together for a change?

	That works for me! They could use some more one on one time! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2017-03-29 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Hopefully I'll also get my brain back at some point this week to get some tagging done - that would be nice! But the week after next, my trip and show will be over and it's the Easter holidays so I should be able to catch up on some sleep, so hopefully then I will definitely be back properly!

	Enjoy your trip! I'll wait patiently for your return! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I also approve of this because I was going to suggest Ianto wake up with Jack for maximum Spike freakout. Now he can be confused about Jack being gone, Jack can be freaked pure the next day about Ianto not being able to see him and then he can go join Spike for a did he murder Jack investigation.

	Excellent! That all works out great, then! :-D (Reply to this) (Parent)
