Nightmares meme

[exeggutorhead]

SO, with our characters having had their final nightmares, let's have a meme where we can all share what they were. If you hadn't planned them out completely, or didn't have ideas for all of them, you can still go ahead and share whatever you did think of! Be as detailed or as vague as you want.

Even if your character didn't participate in the nightmares, go ahead and let us know what they might have dreamed about if they had!

Spoilers for the mechanics of VLR's version of the Nonary Game, and also really vague things. All of Phi's dreams have been about Venus the Oddish who is actually not officially named at this point just yet, and are based around the pokedex entries It may be mistaken for a clump of weeds. If you try to yank it out of the ground, it shrieks horribly. and Its scientific name is "Oddium Wanderus." At night, it is said to walk nearly 1,000 feet on its two roots. Mainly that first one, though.

FIRST NIGHTMARE starts with Phi walking the corridors alone with the feeling that she needs to find her Oddish. Just as she starts to get really anxious about it, she hears a scream coming from the B. Garden puzzle room and rushes towards it. When she arrives, the B. Garden is no longer beautiful and calming, but filled with weeds, unlit, and generally torn to bits. The dream goes eerily quiet and Phi is left to wander the ever-expanding room until it's consumed by darkness.

SECOND NIGHTMARE is set in the style of an AB game with Venus as her opponent. A lot of it is the anxiety of being betrayed and so she mulls over her choices, hand hovering over the screen. It doesn't help that this dream remembers the previous one, and the loss of her pokemon she felt then is weighing heavily on her mind. Eventually she chooses Ally since she has nine points and Venus is close to nine points as well, and walks out of the room to find that Venus has chosen to betray her. Instead of the standard point deduction, her BP drops like a fast countdown to zero, causing her to get penalized/injected with soporil.

THIRD NIGHTMARE picks up where the second dream left off, with Phi still in a muggy, drugged state from the soporil. Like in the first nightmare, however, she's in a dark version of the B. Garden puzzle room. Weeds sprout where she drags herself, looking more and more like the head of an Oddish as she wanders. When she tries to pull them up, she comes up empty but more and more screaming can be heard. Eventually the shrieks become so loud/overwhelming that they seem to speed up, and Phi has no choice but to take a seat at the room's bench so she can get her head to stop pounding. Next to her, a tiny, almost cheerful greeting from an Oddish sounds, and she looks over to see Venus smiling up at her. She also sees the Myrmidons knife. Hazy and exhausted, but with an odd sense of hope, Phi starts to reach out towards the two, intending to pat Venus on the head. Instead, her hand closes on the hilt of the knife and the dream ends.

...Yeah, she's woken up with a wicked headache after every one of these. Did you know that mandrake, which Oddish are based on, produce anticholinergics? Did you know a common anticholinergic is tubocurarine?

Because I didn't when I chose Oddish as her starter.
