It's always the one where I'm giving a speech in my underwear.

[iamthesockpirelestat]

You're having a nightmare, and you aren't alone. Someone is here with you in tonight's strange, dark dreamscape--for better or for worse.

1. Chased: Bears, tentacly monsters, giant vengeful wasps. You need to escape from it but you can't find a way.
   
2. Trapped: Elevator, sinking ship, cave. You're in and you can't get out.
   
3. Performance: It's often quoted that people fear public speaking more than they fear death. You don't know the script, you've never seen this Powerpoint, the teleprompter is blurry as hell... forget falling, you're about to die on stage.
   
4. Hated: You know those dreams where everyone you know accuses you of something terrible and they all hate you now? Yeah. It's that one tonight.
   
5. Disaster! You're on an island and a volcano erupts! You're next to a river and it floods! Never mind how geologically, climatologically, or physically likely it would be in this location in real life, it's happening now.
   
6. Haunting past: Your bad memories are just waiting for you to let your guard down, and what's more unguarded than sleep?
   
7. Wildcard: There are infinite nightmares in infinite combinations... why not put together your own?

[Chased and trapped are pretty much canon, but I'm open to hashing out something else. As always, assumed CR is A+.]

[ 6 most likely to actually disturb her. Everything else would probably just make her laugh... ]

[hortusanguis]

[ Maybe? What best comfort but from a demon ]

(This ought to be a given... and lots of fun, for the players at least!)

1 & 2 ; this bill is book canon but that's ok

[seestheghosts]

[ Sleeping in Derry again isn't easy. Bill tosses and turns for what feels like hours after their meeting at the Chinese restaurant, his mind ping-ponging back and forth over so many different things. He's half-awake, seeing memories from before that he'd long discarded playing over in his head, sometimes anachronistically, sometimes incorrectly. He thinks of Stan, of the blood coming out of the crackers, of It's laughter, clear in his mind, of Georgie. Somewhere, in all of this, Bill eventually drifts off.

When he wakes, he's in a familiar place - their old school, the school he'd gone to just before that fateful summer. It looks just like it did - he recognizes the posters on the hallway walls, the classrooms, the lockers, but he's the only one here. For a few minutes, the dream is peaceful, or at least uneventful - then Bill rounds a corner and sees a lone red balloon, hovering in the middle of the hall, and his throat seizes up, his feet stopping in their tracks.

Bill turns, running back the way he came. Surely he can find the doors, he remembers where those are, doesn't he? But when he gets to the end of the hall, the big glass doors he throws himself against don't open. He could break the glass, he thinks, but instead, he turns down the other hall, ready to run to find another way out...

And that's when he sees Eddie. No, it's not Eddie... it doesn't look like him. But it is him, Bill knows it's Eddie the way you sometimes just know things in dreams. ]

E-E-Eddie! Look-- look out! [ It's almost a senseless thing to even say, but when Bill looks over his shoulder, he sees the balloon is following him, gliding straight towards him like it's on a string. They've got to find somewhere to go. ]

[doesntmeatthecriteria]

[To be honest, with Planet Vegeta's destruction and the genocide of the Saiyans, 2 or 5 probably fits.]

[nonbeliefs]

integra hellsing / hellsing

[sirintegra]

(1, 5, or 6 likely.)

Morgan Jay Finnigan | OC | OTA

[morganjayfinnigan]

[6 is literally their every waking moment, so funsies!]

kaz brekker | six of crows / shadow & bone

[tobastards]

[ I mean, I can't not inflict this trope on Kaz. Probably 6, but 1 and 2 are also fitting. ]

wanda maximoff • mcu

[chaoshex]

[ it’s almost definitely 6 or 4. ]

Dorian Pearl, a poet || OC {The Yellow King RPG} || OTA

[allfloatdownhere]

{{Chased, trapped, hated but most of all, haunting past (Dorian is plagued by the ghost of his twin sister, who died by drowning when they were both 11 and his life only got more strange from there)}}

Oberon | FGO | ota

[morninglark]

[Oberon is most likely the reason any of these prompts are happening to your character, but he'll act like he's stuck too, the little bitch. So yes shoot me anything.]

Lady Nagant | BNHA

[beautifulshot]

[Leaning towards 2, 4, or 6 for Nagant cause. baggage. But open to all options.]

Ronan N Lynch | The Dreamer Trilogy | OTA

[tonightmare]

[ m/m exclusively for shipping stuff, though gen's easier with him. Fae Jesus travels through dreams and plays psychopomp for people experiencing nightmares anyway, here to help. ]

[No so interested in 1 and 3, open to all other options and happy to mash things up to be the most disturbing for all involved. Open to crosscanon and assumed CR.]

Caoimhe | DND 5e Homebrew | ota

[amhran]

[ Caoimhe has an AU that stems off of when she becomes a magical construct/weapon. Where a small portion of her soul is reincarnated within other planar cosmos - usually how I do cross canon roleplay! During this time, at the plane her original self is at. Caoimhe is basically pinned down with a God Artifact Weapon, stabbed in her body and into a Cosmic Invader. Holding down the fort with her eternal damnation!! Esp because this BBEG has already consumed 2 Primodials & their consequential planes already. Currently with being pinned to Caoimhe, it makes him stuck and unable to do anything else - and in a short bit of effort to save her own soul. Granted herself some freedom... Caoimhe sent a shard of herself to other Planes, to prevent this BBEG named the Beast. This more or less provided her temporary escape and have... Some sense of mind. The issue being that, the BBEG knows, and sees this as an opportunity to potentially take her over. Return her back, and force himself free. This is a canon verse for her - which LEADS ME TO FINALLY this portion of saying: NIGHTMARES is the way he attacks her regularly!! Anyway I been wanting to do something with this moreeeee, you can come get chased and tormented with Caoimhe and a 3 headed Primodial who looks like this!. ]
