NOTE!! You can leave an empty comment with the subject header of your choice or even RANDOM for something unlisted/miscellaneous (lighthearted) and I'll write the prompt. For nightmares, it may skip around and make no sense very much like how actual dreams are.

nightmares

[ When you enter the dream, you're engulfed by darkness until you hear a deep and unfamiliar voice. It speaks in a language you are most comfortable with. ]

The contract has been sealed...

You have agreed to provide the Trickster support
in his journey to oppose fate and seek change.

CASINO
It's filled with a variety of gamblers from talking fish to actual people. Shadows are also gambling? But they're aggressive due to their mass losses. There are several elevators and it seems like the treasure is on the VIP level.

If you choose to enter the CASINO, you may appear outside of the structure or on the first floor in costume and mask. Akira will accompany you in his Joker outfit.

VELVET ROOM
Are you a prisoner? Or a keeper? You can stand behind the bars with Akira, withstand the abuse and rebel alongside him, or on the opposite side—ushered by two wardens and a man with an elongated nose to carry out discipline. Rehabilitation is important.

If you choose to enter the VELVET ROOM, you may appear inside or outside the cell. Your attire will change into prisoner wear or officer uniform respectively.

MEMENTOS (SPOILER)
In the city of Recolle, you notice there's something strange. People walk past the blood red rain and the towering skeleton pieces. The irrelevant become forgotten. The forgotten vanish. Is it your hand that's disappearing? Or is it Akira's?

If you choose MEMENTOS, you'll be in your normal attire or in your underwear. Whichever your character feels less attractive in if you want. Once again, Akira is beside you.

fog

[ Akira has been having a hard time with his nightmares. Some of them he remembers bits and pieces (all useless), but he's thinking a jog in the ungodly time where the thick fog rolls in is a good idea? Unfortunately not... He ends up running away from one of these three tormentors in his pajamas. What's with his luck?

As he looks behind him, he crashes into someone. Sorry. ]

TWIN WARDENS (SPOILER)
Their names are unknown to you, but they're two girls with silver hair with a single golden eye (an eyepatch covers the other). As attendants of the Velvet Room, they have this ethereal aura to them, even menacing as they shoot various skills into the fog.

"Come back here, inmate! You can't hide forever!"

"You're only delaying the inevitable."

IMPERIOUS ANGEL (SPOILER)
An angel appears with an abstract body shape. Wings scaling wide and halo spinning over its head, it spreads its several hands that hold instruments. With the rise of the triangle, the angel rings it with a clear ding. In a matter of seconds, a flash of light magic strikes near.

"I am what humanity desires. Why oppose me?"

You can hear the sneer in its voice.

GOLD PIGGER
This silver piggy bank may seem cute, but it's also massively large and rolls without end. What does stop it from rolling are valuable items. Throw something expensive and it'll take a break to appraise it with a series of oinks. The one in control is a half-fly guy throwing out some mad rhymes.

"Yo yo yo! You think you can just walk into my neighborhood and disrespect me like that, dawg?"

wildcard

[ THROW ME WHATEVER! Baby haunts from the new ghosts or even the Retrospec Maze! Even anything normal. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Silver... He almost wants to ask why are you looking at him like that? It's making him nervous. Awkwardly rubbing his neck, he looks off to the side to avoid this kind of attention. This is too much. It's easier when you have a mask on.

Especially when Silver is grinning like an idiot?? ]

We're not dead, hurrah!

[ But he takes that hand with... Confidence? Kind of. He won't lie that it comforts him. His shoulders drop as he repeats in his mind that it's over. It didn't feel like they beat the god, but... It's gone. ]

I've got you to thank for that.

[Off they go then, down the street which feels surprisingly far on a night like this. There's a certain amount of satisfaction and confidence that came from standing their ground, but the fact that there really is nothing stopping another one of those things from showing up again- or something else for that matter- is pretty damn sobering. It doesn't put him on edge, but it's definitely a good reminder to stay alert. It also makes holding Akira's hand all the more important, and Silver isn't really aware of how tightly he grips it. Thankfully, the library isn't too far away.]

What do you think the best way in is?

[It is a pretty big building. Silver looks up and weighs the pros and cons of the second floor windows. Akira did just scale that giant god, after all...]

You were just as helpful.

[ Akira does notice how tightly Silver is holding it, so he swings it back and forth in the air to lessen the paranoia. Of course they need to keep watch. Once in a while, he notices something lurking from afar, but it's probably someone else's apparition...

Who knows? At this point, he feels like he can fight anything that isn't... The god again. ]

What's stopping us from using the front door?

...I guess we could do the front door. It is right there.

[That is not nearly as cool, but the thought doesn't stop him from heading to the front door anyway. ...He still has his stupid silph scopes on, but he doesn't seem inclined to take them off, either.]

[ They don't need to be unnecessarily extra!! Says the protagonist known for being unnecessarily extra. ]

We wouldn't want any of the fog getting into the library, so...

[ Imagine everything like that spook them in a small building. Akira is jsut ready to pass out and nap, to be honest. If there's any kind of lock, he'll take care of it, but otherwise let's open the door a bit and slip in. ]

Good point.

[That would be awful, both for them and the books. Silver nods briefly to show that he's following what Akira's saying as he continues onward. There's a lock alright, but it's a library, not a bank; it isn't too tough to slide in and quickly close the door behind them. There. That's enough of the fog. What a damn relief. Surely Silver is going to follow up with something reassuring or maybe a joke to try and lighten the mood-]

We could have died.

[Or maybe the realization of what the fuck they just did is finally starting to catch up with him.]

[ When they're inside, Akira is ready to just camp out here in his pajamas. Hands on his hips, he's thinking about how many accomplishments they've made and then

that.

That... Akira looks at him with a tired expression, but there's a smile, either way. A very. Empty smile. A couple seconds more and he drops to his feet to sit down. He's done. Today is over. ]

You're right. I could have slipped and died pretty easily.

[ MEMENTO FUCKING MORI. ]

[...Good idea. Silver doesn't waste much time in settling down next to him and digging through his backpack until he pulls out a blanket. It's a pretty cold evening.]

And I could have been blown to bits.

[No, not just him. His Pokémon, too.]

When you told me about it, I didn't picture something that large. At least you can say you've taken it out twice now.
