Nightmare plot!

[isolophobia]

HEEEY YOU GUUUUYS! You knew it was coming, but with the arrival of a certain someone ( coughcough KOZMOTIS coughcough ) Pitch Black is officially riding the crazy train off the rails.

What this means for you;

Havenites ( especially folks Pitch has taken a personal interest in ) may notice a rather dramatic increase in the intensity and frequency of their nightmares. But that's not all that's lurking in the shadows. Fearlings ( children who have been turned into living shadows ) and Nightmare Men ( adults, and fellow warriors who fell to the darkness ) are also gathering, called together by the Nightmare King. Pitch is rebuilding his Nightmare army, but with so much fear running rampant around Haven, he's pulling out all the stops.

On August 12th the Fearlings and Nightmare Men will have gained enough strength to be capable of possessing player characters. Fearlings will go for children first, and try to corrupt them but the Nightmare Men will go for anyone.

So what's it like to be possessed by shadows? Well, think of it as being locked inside your own worst nightmare playing over and over again. You're trapped inside your own mind, but there's something else that takes control of your body. Characters who become possessed will most likely seek out shadows and dark places. They will react with irrational terror to just about anything, and may become very violent. Their eyes will also turn solid black while possessed, so seeing that may be a big tip-off.

Think mass hysteria with a twist of anarchy.

This event will run from August 12th through August 19th, and if your possessed character hasn't found a way to conquer their own nightmares on their own, or been exorcised, the Fearlings and Nightmare Men will vacate their possessed hosts by the 19th.

But wait, there's more!

During the week of August 12th, each time a character is possessed, a Nightmare will be spawned within the Library. The thing is? When this event is over, those Nightmares hanging around the Library and attacking the unwary visitor are sticking around. Pitch may be on his own agenda, but the Nightmares in the Library may just become a permanent fixture to Haven.

Characters are free to notice the horse-like Nightmares in the library ( and get attacked by them, should they go in ) through the event.

So. Want to sign up to be possessed? Have some questions? Want to get an early start on plotting for this event? USE THE COMMENTS ON THIS POST! I'm still recovering full mobility in my hands but I will answer as many questions as I possibly can, or bring said question to the mod's attention if needs be.

THANKS GUYS. And pleasant dreams~
