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!

So I have some fun ones here.

Lyle - His nightmare is going to be about losing people and being alone. He's lost pretty much everyone he cares about - his parents, siblings, girlfriends, so he has this fear in the back of his mind that he's eventually going to have no one.

Michiru - Two options for her. The first is going to be losing people, specifically Haruka, Setsuna, and Hotaru. The second is BECAUSE I CAN. She is, in canon interviews, afraid of sea cucumbers. Why? It's never explained. But I'm thinking she's going to see one or more following her around.

Trowa - Loss (again). He finally has people he cares about, especially with his new beau Quatre. Another option is that he actually has something to say, but he either can't get it out or no one can hear him.

Those are my benign ones. Now...

Carl - Walkers. A lot of walkers (Zombies to those who don't know the show). I would say Carl's is a high threat level to any bystanders because he has a stash of kitchen knives in his apartment specifically in case walkers appear and he will likely be wielding them.

Shiro - Two options for Shiro, one benign, one where someone may get hurt. The first will be relating to something happening to the younger Paladins, such as getting injured. Because he is the leader of the team, he'd blame himself for it. Now for the second... Shiro is a high functioning ptsd sufferer, having survived being forced to fight for sport and being experimented on. The second will relate to his time in a Galra prison where he could potentially being seeing an opponent he's being forced to fight or one of his Galra captors. This one is also likely to have someone get hurt especially since his Galra tech arm is still functioning - which we could always have him think he's using it, but really not. It will still hurt though.
