NIGHTMARE. Riley has been largely absent for the past day; he's needed the time, he's said, to try to sort out what should be done about Darkrai and Cresselia. Whether they can be contacted from a safe distance; whether there's something he can do to ensure that there's no risk to the rest of you. You fall asleep on Friday night. You don't remember deciding to fall asleep on Friday night; perhaps you were in the middle of doing something. Perhaps you were keeping watch over the rest of the group, perhaps you were talking to someone, perhaps you were unable to drift off and sitting up poring over notes or books by flashlight. Perhaps you were already well asleep by the time it happens. Either way, Friday night begins to slip into what's technically Saturday, and that's when you drop off. And you are, quite literally, falling. The sensation is a strong one, somehing that disorients you almost immediately, the sort of thing that happens in dreams only to be accompanied by a hypnic jerk that wakes you up safely in your bed, only that moment of awakening never comes. The landing isn't a hard one, however, wherever you've ended up; it's one you're aware of, but not one that hurts you in any way, there's no physical pain. There's only you, and the ground, and the absolute darkness surrounding you. You should get up. Get your bearings. The darkness won't last long, but what it reveals to you when it breaks might not be as welcome as you might think it is...

[Moving forward to escape the darkness is probably a good idea... but unfortunately it seems like something up ahead is causing the darkness to spread as well. It's hard to say where it starts, but suddenly you're very aware that the darkness is coming at you from behind you and in front of you, and it's eating its way through everything.]

[Eustace comes to a stop when he realizes the darkness is closing in on all sides. There's no getting out of this, is there?

As it gets closer and closer, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, steeling himself as he always told himself to in these situations.

And then he walks toward the darkness with the intention of going into it.

There's a good chance that this is it- the end. He's paying his dues for destruction of his newfound home and the loss of those closest to him. But in the off chance that the primal beast who did this lies beyond the darkness, then he's going to face it head-on, with or without Flamek Thunder.]

[The darkness closes around you, and for a moment, there's nothing.

Suddenly you'll be aware that you're not alone. You won't find any primal beast or your friends from home, but you will see some familiar faces here. Morag looks like she's lost in despair over something you can't see, Ari seems very confused by something, Emmeryn is carefully walking through the darkness, seemingly seeing something else.

And then there's Ventus, who seems just as aware of what's going on as you are.]
