Nightmares!
Hello, players.
The RNG has spoken and the following characters have been chosen to have nightmares:
Maria Collins Carbonell
Dorian Carver
Peeta Mellark
Draco Malfoy
Herc Hansen
Elena Gilbert
The mods are going to ask those chosen to write up a detailed description of a single nightmare your character will have. Please posted it as a comment/reply to this post. We're going to give you a week to do this. Please get your nightmare to us by Tuesday, December 24. (If this is going to be a problem, please let us know!)
Remember, just because you weren't chosen to have a nightmare, that doesn't mean you're not going to be involved in the plot. Far from it. In fact, this plot is going to encompass the entire game. More details will follow.
I would say, "the odds were ever in your favor" but Peeta was one of the chosen few so that would just be tacky

Literally just waiting for me. Sorry! CW: Death
That is what Squadron Leader Hercules Hansen is thinking as he wanders through a deserted, destroyed village in the middle of the desert. The primary reason the village was deserted was due to the impact crater in the centre... A crater he caused.
The remaining buildings were blackened on one side, partially destroyed, but still mostly standing. Herc is wandering through as if in a daze, eyes wide as he looks from charred building, to charred plant... to charred body.
His eyes linger on that figure, it's arms raised as the blast overtook it... And he falls to his knees, dust being kicked up from the ground as he does, planting his hands on the ground.
I'm a monster...
How many times? How many times had he pulled the trigger, cruising thousands of miles in the air, computers locked onto the target... how many times had he done this and flown off without a problem? Without a care?
Too many.
He raises his eyes to the crater in front of him and slumps back onto his legs. A pilot rarely sees the massive destruction they bring. Death from the skies...
He knew the basic details. This was a town of 350 people... mostly civilians. Families. Farmers, wives, children... most gone. Because of him. He had his orders, but orders can't stop the fact that he was the one who committed mass murder.
And, suddenly, amisdt the destruction, Hercules Hansen starts to laugh. A bitter sound, complimented by tears rolling down his cheeks. He looks up to the sky, still chuckling darkly.
"I guess this is why I deserve to be alone." He says that to no-one, voice ragged.
Alone, stranded in the wasteland. No family, no friends... No, they had all been ripped from him... Karma, he guesses.
He continues staring at the grey sky above, before the grief overtakes him. He curls into a ball, muffling the sound of his sobbing, as his tears wet the dust below...
