Nightmare Moshpit
WHO: Everyone trapped in the Nightmares
WHERE: Nightmare Moshpit
WHEN: Starting Friday, 10am, continuing until the Dreamers are freed from the nightmares
WARNINGS: HIDEOUSNESS, everyone's personal nightmares, will probably have blood, gore, trauma, insanity, etc. Go nuts, people!
SUMMARY: Ysera has plunged half the City into an interconnected nightmare labyrinth. Everyone caught up in the nightmares will experience their own personal nightmare - whatever horrible nightmare they may have (this is totally up to individual players, go nuts). Those with strong willpower and focus, who realize that they're dreaming, can break free from their own personal nightmare and wander the interconnected nightmares of other dreamers.
The dreams are connected subtly. You could open a door that should lead to a room, wanting out and focusing on getting out of the dream, and find yourself entering a location in someone else's nightmare. You could turn a corner in a spooky woods and find yourself in an open field or a cave or deserted building in someone else's nightmare.
Items can be taken from one dream zone into another. You will start out with whatever clothing/items/etc you subconsciously associate as a part of yourself - or with whatever items/clothing your nightmare calls for. If your nightmare is being tortured, you're in chains. If it's being naked in public, you're naked; etc.
If you realize you're dreaming and have strong focus, willpower, and imagination, you can attempt to manipulate your dreamself and your surroundings - changing them to suit yourself. This will not be easy nor perfectly accomplished right off the bat, try to be realistic about it. It'll take practice and perfect focus at first to manage it, plus a good imagination. Losing focus could cause your changes to revert. Someone with a stronger will - especially in their own dreamscape - can revert or alter changes you have already made, or parts of their own dream.
This all means that if your character can manage the focus, willpower, and imagination to keep it up, they can regain any powers Lachesis took away when they arrived in the City. They can also add extra powers such as flight, breathing underwater, walking on water, etc. Bear in mind, if they lose focus, these manipulations will revert. These changes exist only in the dreamscapes. They do not carry over back to the waking world.
You might run into an evil nightmare version of yourself in your own dream, or in someone else's, if they have nightmares of an evil you.
Death in the nightmare is NOT permanent. Dying or being mutilated in the nightmare will not permanently harm your body in the real world. The worst that could happen to your real self is mental trauma and seizures.

"Yeah, let's play" he snarled, a card in between his fingers, taking aim and throwing with practiced ease and then he stormed forward; he was going to take that guy down.
no subject
And he could sit back and enjoy Crow kicking the crap out of his worst enemy. Cavil was no fighter, which was why he hid behind his damn powers and the law, so it wouldn't take much to take him down.

Kiryu laughed a little, not really believing it was over. It couldn't be that simple, it had never been that simple. but it certainly seemed to over, and it was because of Crow.
"Crow..." He struggled to his feet, leaning heavily against the bars. "Would you let me out of here?"
no subject
He crouched down as he started working at the cell's door. "Who was that bastard anyway?"
no subject
"His name's Cavil. He killed me once to test his powers." Kiryu chuckled, closing his eyes as he remembered their other meeting. "I killed him a couple months after in revenge. He's been trying to get back at me since."
no subject
That would at least explain the strange way he had disappeared.
But… that couldn't be, right; they had gotten them all back then. Something's really not adding up here. Not that that mattered when he heard a satisfying click and got up to swing the door open.
"Here ya go."
no subject
Kiryu made his way over to the door and slipped outside, though still with a firm grip on one of the bars. He thought he might feel better in a little while, but for now it was an effort just to keep standing.
But he would keep making that effort, because Crow was here and Crow had helped him and Crow didn't hate him after all. He was struck with such guilt for ever doubting his friend in the first place, staying standing for him was the least he could do.
"You really came here to help me..." Just, what did he say to that? Thank you? "Crow, I..."
no subject
"More like ended up here…" he mumbled with a frown. "It doesn't make sense at all. But I ain't gonna leave you behind now."
Then he shook his head and stepped closer to offer Kiryu his shoulder. "Come on, let's get outta here."
no subject
"Yeah, but you could've left or...yeah..." He blinked down at Crow, awkwardly shifting to lean against him instead. It was...weird, feeling like he could trust Crow again.
He'd always been comfortable with teasing him, though. "This isn't gonna work well. You're too short."
