Successful Nightmare at thewake

[kingofnightmares]

Yes, it was rather successful wasn't it? This is what I need to start doing more in city. And once my Bending is stronger, giving nightmares will be easy for me once more. Too bad that boy had that terrible accident after waking up from my nightmare.

...What? I didn't plan to have him impale himself on a piece of wood after waking up from it. It was his fault for sleeping up in a tree in the first place. Besides, I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity like that.

Don't give me that look, Sandy. Even though I'm not on earth anymore, I still have a job to do.

[hasnomentor]

I knew you couldn't be trusted.

[kingofnightmares]

Why so hostile? I just gave him a nightmare. How was I supposed to know that that would happen to him?

[hasnomentor]

You gave him a nightmare ese. That isn't cool. The wood part wasn't your fault, I'll give you that. You still enjoyed it though.

[kingofnightmares]

Everyone gets nightmares, and that's my job. That's what I do.

I enjoyed the nightmare yes, but other than that, it was all an accident.

[hasnomentor]

Trust me, I know everyone gets nightmares. [He's had plenty lately.]

Doesn't mean they need help having more.

[dreamsguardian]

[...Doesn't mean he has to like it.

Especially if he can't be there to help stop it.]

[kingofnightmares]

Too bad. No one can stop it, really.

[kingofnightmares]

He was just so convenient. I couldn't help myself if an opportunity presents itself like that.

[dreamsguardian]

[kingofnightmares]

[PFFF HA, he can't help but laugh.]

Sometimes you can't help everyone, Sandman.

[dreamsguardian]

[His shoulders square in a silent hmph, and he gives Pitch a look.

Maybe not...but you don't always win either.]

[kingofnightmares]

[He waves a finger at him.]

This nightmare was a small win for me. It's better than nothing at the moment. [He spreads his arms open wide.] Besides, no one will know that it was me who caused the nightmare. I'm not as widely known there as I once was on earth, after all.

[dreamsguardian]

[There's a questioning look on his face, as he wonders if it matters if people there believe in Pitch or not.]

[kingofnightmares]

[Oh he smiles widely at that look.]

Yes, everyone can see me, whether they believe in me or not. Half of the people there don't even know who I am.

[And he's grown used to that idea. If they didn't know about him, it was no skin off his nose. It was just a way for Pitch to befriend people if need be. If they didn't know who he was, then the easier it would be to get to know some people there and use them, if possible.]

[dreamsguardian]

[...Nope, doesn't like the sound of that one bit.]

[kingofnightmares]

[Pitch shrugs casually, his smile only growing bigger.]

That's just how it is.

[dreamsguardian]

[thefirstguardian]

[... You could pretend to be sorry about it, at least.]

[kingofnightmares]

[Nope. No remorse whatsoever.]

Hey. He was the one who decided to sleep up in a tree.

[thefirstguardian]

[Ugh. Jerk.

Sandy shakes his head and summons up a bold medical cross followed by a question mark.

Did the guy at least get some help?]

[kingofnightmares]

[There's a long pause before he responds.]




Sort of.

[thefirstguardian]

[... Sort of.





Looking at you expectantly, sir.]

[kingofnightmares]

[He lifts his hands.]

Now. Hear me out on this. But.

[Pitch pauses, trying to choose his words carefully.]

He has to be killed in order to be helped. With his... condition.
