Lucidstuck I

Piper: Go Grimdark

Honestly, I have no commands. After Emily exits though, we may need her (or preferably lucia) to check up on Derrick's state.

Hello new reader, welcome to our darkest hour.

I however do still have a command ...i seem to be lousy with them of late >_>)

>Bob: (pick at the stitches around your mouth until they tear out) Daydream, please listen carefully, we may not have much time before Emily is pulled back to the main timeline. To be honest we've been rather ambivalent towards you all this time, not fully sure whether we can trust you. But seeing as how you kept your promise and how Emily has readily offered to help you, i believe we can trust you to make the right choices with her as your moral compass. There is already a version of Derrick which hates you and who probably knows everything you've done. And he's slowly clawing his way inside the construct. We're talking about Nightmare. You may not know, but it's already possessed Derrick at-least once, imbuing him with his dark unfathomable powers. It effortlessly plunged Zendo, a boss monster, into an endless night devoid of any feeling within his own mind, which lasted for eons until everything Zendo once was, even his name, became lost to him. We know not yet the full scope of his ambition, but we do know it's game-changing. And it involves the Arena of Darkness. So you may continue unabated, heedless of our warning, but just know that one of these instances while you're having your little fun, you will slip into the dreamlands without you knowing, and he will be waiting there, in Derrick's place, ready to tear you apart into bloody pieces from the inside-out. So for your own sake and Derrick's, make an effort to change your ways. Make this the iteration where everything is fixed. You have the power to undo the damage that you've caused, not many get that kind of second chance.

The reasons i believe Nightmare knows everything is:
-The reaper kids reporting every information back to him.
-His ability to uncover things hidden in Derrick's psyche.
-His ability to read the Fear in others which would allow him to pry into Alice's mind.

i don't disagree that Nightmare knows everything as it does make sense for him to do know this, however i'm not sure how good an idea this command would be as it may put daydream vs nightmare when it seems the arena may be necessary to revive derrick....

>Emily: use your judgment to continue this conversation. Perhaps it would help to put things in perspective for Alice: if she was not Derrick sister and someone else was, would she still think that person doing the things she's done would be justified and correct, as her position as 'sister' and being closest to derrick? Only follow this line of thought if you think it would help the situation.
