Observers: We would like to discuss some history to start, as we are still trying to piece together the puzzle you have given us. Tell us what happened that brought you all to this point.
Nightmare: Hmm... The exact moment would be my own near death experience. Our friend Lucia Morris has a powerful technique that can permanently kill a target, guardian included.
Nightmare: She was riled up and deceived, having used this technique on me accidentally.
Nightmare: My sister Alice Willford panicked, and in haste created her Dark asylum to prevent the permanent nature of the technique to follow through.
Nightmare: This... Unknown entity as we once referred to them as, Ennoukh. The God of illusions. We were in a battle against them. And this ended up being the result.
Lexii: Crazy how that's still a thing.
Nightmare: Yes. This battle has ever ended. We've been lulled into a peaceful dream to stall it. If we lose our way, we'll be doomed.
Observers: About the naming thing, you phrased it like you were handing out the name even if we were picking it. And you've personally named an entire order before, haven't you?
Nightmare: So you have met them?
Nightmare: Strange, that's when I first learned of you. This is certainly an experience.
Nightmare: Naming those children was to establish a bond to me. As being their savior and giving them a new purpose, I suppose a new name would be necessary for their new lives. This is not to say I particularly enjoy the naming process by itself.
Lexii: I miss those kids!! I hope Derrick's taking good care of them.
Nightmare: Don't worry Lexii, they are all healthy.
Lexii: Phew...
Observers: Speaking of your order, Vorrus has said something cryptic about not trusting a reaper. Do you know anything about that?
Nightmare: .... I'm afraid not.
Lexii: Don't trust the reaper? Vorrus said that??
Lexii: That ungrateful little...
Nightmare: Hush, Lexii. Don't speak ill of them. Vorrus is no more.
Lexii: Oh shit...
Observers: I'd like to posit that it is hair, and has been hair all along. Every time Derrick uses his Fear powers, it's always been hair, strewn with teeth. He's like a serrated Bayonetta.
Nightmare: ....
Lexii: They still think it's hair, Nightmare.
Nightmare: It's no matter of importance.
Lexii: Observers was it? That is NOT hair, I repeat, Not--
Nightmare: Let's move on shall we?
Observers: If you would allow us to, we would like to talk about some things we never really fully understood. What was the purpose of Vorrus? they died before we were able to figure out.
Lexii: Vorrus was--
Nightmare: I shall explain, Lexii.
Lexii: Okay okay...
Nightmare: Vorrus was an experiment. As I had been orchestrating things on the outside I wanted to test the limits of what my form was capable of. I had missed Lucia so I tried imprinting her nature on another soul. It worked.
Nightmare: I treated them as the other children in my order. But she stood out. She refused the robes despite my warnings and felt the need to disobey orders.
Nightmare: Come to think of it, sort of like the original Lucia.
Nightmare: As I sent them all in Alice's asylum, I ordered everyone else to treat her like a stranger. She would only hamper progress.
Nightmare: And as Derrick, would be able to discern the difference in Lucia's.
Nightmare: If he had chosen correctly, Lucia would be granted a spare life in the case that Lucia was to be killed somehow.
Nightmare: Of course the results were unexpected, since no one else's life was threatened as hers was.
Nightmare: But that event came to pass, and her role fulfilled.
Lexii: Pretty cold, Nightmare.
Nightmare: ....
Nightmare: What else would you like to discuss?
1. Outlook
2. Future plans

>Did you ever befriend any monsters in your past attempts? Derrick & Co. have befriended a bunch of monsters, even a boss monster known as "Ruu-Andaros". we would like to know if having such monsters around could lead to something bad. Also you mentioned how "Your Lucia Morris" had a technique that could kill guardians. If you don't mind me asking, where is your version of Lucia Morris?

Observers: I understand I'm pressing a point here, but does Nightmare's "hair", as I don't know what else to call it by, have any special properties? We did something with Bambino fluff, and I genuinely wonder if yours has a similar property.
Lexii: Omg, Nightmare... They really want to know.
Nightmare: .... My hair is transdimensional. I can use to for various conjuration techniques.
Nightmare: I can grow it out at will to engulf something as a means for Hell's Banquet.
Nightmare: This is something that... Tends to frighten the children.
Lexii: And I've seen it. It's not hair.
Nightmare: Now with that, I hope we can continue.
Observers: What did you mean by "we were wrong about the princess?"
Nightmare: "We were terribly wrong about the princess".
Nightmare: I told those words to our friend Garreth before he entered Alice's asylum.
Nightmare: Those words were to resonate with everyone, as each person had been affected by Alice's mysterious nature in their own way.
Nightmare: To think that she was innocent.
Nightmare: To think that she was the one who deserved to die.
Nightmare: To think that her image was manipulated by Ennoukh.
Nightmare: All of these things pertaining to a different person, had to be challenged.
Nightmare: I used those words in hopes that it would indeed be the case.
Observers: We want to know if anything like us has been encountered ever before. Maybe Kalem, or perhaps DT could shed some light if you cannot, Nightmare. There’s also the mystery of the Land of Cruelty and Deceptions' corruption that we would like some input on.
Nightmare: In this form I have greater insight about things, this not being one of them.
Nightmare: What say you, Kalem?
Kalem: ... Hmm.
Kalem: An ethereal voice from beyond? Compelling those who hear its will to act accordingly?
Kalem: We've experienced this with Ennoukh, haven't we?
Nightmare: Yes. But not like this.
Nightmare: We have welcomed a spirit or a collective of spirits who do not exist physically.
Kalem: Hmm... The concept is not new, but I supposed this encounter is.
Kalem: I can't say I've experienced this before.
Nightmare: To address your next point. Locad being compromised is directly related to Ennoukh taking on Alice's image.
Nightmare: Their will compels the monsters to seek out the children in a manner more fierce than what is normal.
Nightmare: This is where you may hear of an "itch". The drive some monsters experience to seek out the children.
Nightmare: That is to say not every monster is compelled to seek the children normally.
Observers: Are you capable of rendering yourself untall or are you stuck looking like feathery Bambino?
Nightmare: My form is my form. I can freely manipulate it in the scope of my trait, which includes manipulating my body parts. I enjoy the anxiety my height exudes onto others.
Observers: Is your Lucia dead from her coma? If so, what has she become?
Nightmare: My friend Lucia Morris resides in Alice's asylum.
Observers: How did you come about your current name?
Nightmare: My fear trait. The prince of fear, named Nightmare is quite fitting is it not? Also, I needed an alias to explain to the children the events that took place. It would be too confusing if I used my real name.
Nightmare: ...
Lexii: They're quiet now.
Nightmare: It seems you're right. Are you still there?
Nightmare: .... They've faded. Perhaps we will meet again at a later time.
Nightmare: Good luck.
Lexii: Byeeee!
