Sorry for joining the bandwagon, just can't help myself.

[prettylittlenightmare]

You don't have nightmares, you say? We-ell... I think I might have a little... something... to change that. It does happen to be my speciality.

Nightmares, huh? Now there's an avenue I hadn't considered.

[prettylittlenightmare]

Beautiful things, those Nightmares. Spreading fear to those in need.

[tyrant_flughude]

Well then, I commend you, sir. Keep up the good work.

[prettylittlenightmare]

Oh I shall.

[2cool4guardian]

I thought you had to be good at something to be your specialty.

[prettylittlenightmare]

[Oh, it's you.]

One incident is hardly indicative of a life's work, Jack Frost. Five on one is hardly fair, after all.

He's a jerk because he cares.

[2cool4guardian]

[Miss me? :D]

You're going to blame this on numbers? Seriously? Maaaan, and they tell me I don't take responsibility for my actions.

Oh then he must care *so very much*

[prettylittlenightmare]

[Not particularly.]

The only thing you took responsibility for is snow days, before the real Guardians took you in. How many children believe in you, Jackie? Five? Six, perhaps?

With all his icy heart!

[2cool4guardian]

[Ouch, that "real" part was uncalled for. But like hell Jack is going to give in so soon.]

Hey, I rather have five or six kids than two or three hundred black horses that drag me down to the void.

[trainsurdragons]

Wait.

You cause nightmares?

[So does that mean this guy is responsible for every bad dream he's ever had?]

Oh hey there Hiccup!

[prettylittlenightmare]

I am the Nightmare King. But I have been called other things. The Boogeyman. The hands under your bed. The shadows in your closet.

[He smiles, full of teeth.]

I've been quite busy.

SUP

[trainsurdragons]

[Yeesh. He leans back a little, grimacing.]

T...the Boogeyman huh?

H...had no idea you were real...

NOT MUCH, YOU

[prettylittlenightmare]

[Tch. His lip twitches.]

Of course I'm real, little one. I always have been. Tell me, do you have nightmares?

OH NOTHIN', JUST VOICE TESTIN' THIS LITTLE SLIP OF A VIKING HERE

[trainsurdragons]

[He swallows hard, his eyebrows raising a bit.]

..E-ever since I lost this-...?

[He taps his prosthetic leg on the ground a bit.]

I've had more than I care to mention.

[splurt]

Everyone needs a few nightmares in their life.

[prettylittlenightmare]

I quite agree. Just a few. Just a little touch of fear... it makes things interesting, I think.

[fotlenke]

[ She arches a brow, not unimpressed, but definitely curious. Look at that concentrative frown. ] Why would you scare your mundane?

[prettylittlenightmare]

[He blinks. Don't you know who he is?]

Why wouldn't I?

[fotlenke]

[ Loki? ]

It is not polite to scare anyone without good reason.

[prettylittlenightmare]

[Guess again. Less Norse.]

Polite, you say? Well, it's only business. And business is far from polite all the time.

[definingfuture]

Well, that's a poor way to make a living.

[prettylittlenightmare]

Is it? It's been quite a task over so many, many years.

[definingfuture]

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to imply you didn't put effort into it.

It just seems like a waste of resources. Making people miserable if you can make anything.

[prettylittlenightmare]

[See, this is interesting because he doesn't have to have you believe in him. You're far too old. You're just along for the ride. And hey, he might have visited you long, long ago, back when you were young...]

Anything is such a broad term. No, I was brought here for a purpose, and I'm here to see it through.

[To what end? Even he doesn't know the answer to that.]

[starspangledspandex]

[Captain America is frowning at you. It's usually a bad sign. People probably have nightmares about Steve disapproving of something they do.]

Why would you want to give people nightmares? I think people's lives are hard enough.
