Dream SMP / Krew

"God damn it! Fail again?! This is the 10th time today! I thought Dream had promised that us two will have total control." Lucid paused. "There seems to be twice the fortcation in preserving his control. Clever man. He manage to make a new kind of blockade against me. I wonder how..."

Nightmare spoke up. "Maybe the man want times to say goodbye to everyone before truly disappearing. It's not like he doesn't have family and friends." The opposite addressed Lucid in a quivering voice as his eyes darted to the side. Lucid didn't seem to notice.

"Well, if he stalls anymore, I'll take control by force. Of course once I break through this wall of defenses he put together. I'll take a break for now, but if I come up with any way to break through his defenses, well..." Lucid made a crushing motion, as if suggest he was going to crush Dream's soul once he takes control. The other figure flinched at that, and this time, Lucid noticed. "What's wrong, Nightmare? I thought you were on board with this. This is the reason your here right?"

"Nice to see that you remember why I'm here, demon." The other figure - Nightmare - snapped back. It seems like a nerve was struck by Nightmare too, because Lucid was suddenly shoving Nightmare to the ground.

"HOW DARE YOU! YOU AND YOUR SERVER WOULD BE DEAD IF I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO SPARE YOU ALL BECAUSE YOU MADE A DEAL WITH ME!" The purple demon growed.

"I did? NO, I DIDN'T DO IT! YOU KNOW IT WAS BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS ME ALIVE!! If I wasn't so stupid when I was younger, I wouldn't even be here. I've would have given my soul to you. But instead I did and now you have control over my life span."

"But you didn't. You were just like me. Just less...How do I put this? Less...Evil as Dream would call it."

Nightmare huffed at that, but didn't deny it.

Lucid noticed. "You know damn well that if you try to talk back that I'm not going to be very nice. I've told you, once I take over Dream, I'll let you go."

Nightmare just sighed. "Give me a moment. I'll be back soon."

"Five. I'll give 5 minutes. Do anything in those five and I'll keep you around a little longer."

Nightmare walked away from the area before slipping into a darker part of Dream's mind. In this area, there was an abandoned feel to the place. The place was covered in writing, which just said the same thing over and over again: Why me? The admin's opposite even felt bad for Dream.

Nightmare quickly approached an area near the middle, "First those hermits got themselves an admin that declared war because of a reasonable grudge held against the wrong person, then XD came to spread more chaos. What's next, Dream split into three so I can get killed before fixing all I can? Wait that might happen. Should I make a list of places to hide my soul?" Lifting his tired eyes, he looked on the pattern on the floor. There, was a cube, glowing a bright green. The aura around it seemed to screamed power. Nightmare held out his hand and sighed.

"Let's see what I have to do this time to save my dear opposite's sanity before he make us all insane. An maybe mend a few relationships of his if he isn't doing anything at the moment. If I can talk to that other admin without getting kill, I might defuse the situation a bit, provided I don't snapped again. Oh wait he's dead. Why am I so scattered brain today?" Nightmare muttered as the cube became panels for him to use.

The panels reflected many things. What Dream's whereabouts were, his relationships with everyone and many others. But what stood out the most were two different categories: one for anything related to only Nightmare, and an insanity meter to track Dream's sanity. Nightmare swore when he saw the meter at an all time high.
