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.

Chased: Bears, tentacly monsters, giant vengeful wasps. You need to escape from it but you can't find a way.
Trapped: Elevator, sinking ship, cave. You're in and you can't get out.
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.
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.
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.
Haunting past: Your bad memories are just waiting for you to let your guard down, and what's more unguarded than sleep?
Wildcard: There are infinite nightmares in infinite combinations... why not put together your own?

The Epitaph meme

It's the old fantasy... what if you could attend your own funeral and hear the eulogy given about you and your life? Happily, today you are getting the next-best thing... the opportunity to read your own epitaph before you are, in fact, buried under it.

But whoever carved this one--well, maybe they're a little irreverent. A little bit disrespectful. Maybe, to put it bluntly... they've been a little too honest.

1. Post your character.
2. In your toplevel, write an epitaph for them. Maybe it's the thing they really do want to be remembered for, maybe it's something they can't live down even when no longer living. Or maybe it's full-on Oregon Trail nonsense.
3. Have your character read other people's!

Coffeshop AU... in a jamjar

It's the old conundrum. The player whose character ran the cute coffeeshop dropped the game, leaving the business in the hands of their close CR... which was you.

Maybe this is the best way for your character to remember their longstanding friendship. Or maybe your character hates coffee and begged their friend not to make them responsible, but they're stuck with it anyway. Either way, this is the new normal.

Write a toplevel describing your character, the brand-new barista!
Assume CR, don't assume CR, it's up to you.
Tag away!

The Interrogation Meme

A bare room, a single chair, a naked lightbulb.

Your crimes were unspeakable, your lies were innumerable, but finally you've been caught. They bring you in, sit you down, and chain you up. No matter what power you have, no matter how strong you are, you're not going anywhere, so get comfy.

It's going to be a long night.

Rules

Post with your character, canon, and any prefs. Note whether captor or captive.
Tag around to other characters.
Roll for an option.

COMPROMISE OR DIE

CIRCLE is a 2015 film about 50 people waking up in a room with no memory of how they got there. Slowly they realize they have to choose who lives and who dies if anyone is to escape. Only one can walk away.

Fifty people is too many for a thread, so how about two?

SUDDENLY, you wake up in a strange dark room with another person. Maybe you know them; maybe they're a total stranger. There's no way to escape and only one way to survive. You find nothing of use, no doors and no windows, just a note etched into the wall: DECIDE WHO LIVES. IF NO DECISION CAN BE MADE, BOTH DIE. YOU HAVE ONE HOUR.

Ready, set, go.

Well, it's happened again. You've walked into a room, and you're wearing a t-shirt with your most troublesome personal issue written on it for everybody to see.

Whether it's "daddy issues", "prone to depressive spells", or "unresolved guilt over destroying a city whilst possessed by an evil spirit", your private struggles are now visible to anyone who encounters you! No way to hide it--there it is in big block text, out in the open.

» 1. Post your character. Put the text of their issue in the subject line!
» 2. Tag around to other characters to empathize, encourage, commiserate, or mock!
