THE NIGHTMARE MEME

Congratulations! Whether through trickery, temptation, or plain old possession, your character has been corrupted by an ancient darkness, previously known only to the Princess of the Night. The Nightmare has just begun.

♦ Your character is now a Nightmare! How did they get to this point, and what do they plan to do with their newfound power? Doubtless, power is on their minds...and maybe eternal night wouldn't hurt either? Just a little bit?

♦ Oh no! Your character's friend is now a Nightmare version of themselves! Will you fight back or try to talk them down? You should probably avoid doing what Celestia did - unless you've got a thousand years to spare.

♦ You know what? Friendship IS magic! Being evil would be a lot more fun if your friends were with you - maybe you should try to lure them over to the dark side as well. Hint: try baking some cookies!

♦ Don't forget the aftercare! If you do manage to snap your friend out of Nightmarehood, you had best be on hoof for a whole lot of comforting afterwards. These things are never easy. Ask Luna, if thou hast doubts.

♦ Villain song. Do it.

Trixie flounders over her words for a moment.

"I... you... you wearing that damned amulet didn't make me feel any better! It only served to remind me of how much a monster I was.

I don't want to be a monster."

"Oh but you are one. You only think of yourself and you kick others when they are down. That sounds pretty monstrous to me."

To be fair, he hardly knew her so it wasn't like he could use much against her other than his power.

"And that's why I'm trying to get redemption! You think I like feeling like a monster? Ever since The Alicorn Amulet, I've had nightmares about it. I want them to stop, I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror without any sort of self-hatred.

Don't you want the same thing!?"

"I am the nightmare and the nightmares are me. There is nothing for me to fear. Only you have plenty to fear about."

"You still hate yourself. I know. I hate myself, too. That;s our fear, but I'm trying to do something about it."

"I don't fear anything."

Some of Trixie's words were starting to stir more things in the back of his mind, but again, the nightmares that are possessing him are blocking it.

"So what is it going to be? Flee and lose your 'redemption' or death?"
