Dream: come on nightmare! It's just blue ink and red! *has pulled nightmare along with him* Nightmare: *SURE JUST THREE STRANGERS, GREAT* ......... Blue: Hi, it's nice to get to talk to you! Nightmare: *two seconds from shortcuting* ......... hey. Red: great start. Dream: *tries nudging nightmare forward* come on, they are nice I promise
Ink: soooooooo any hobbies? Nightmare: ..... reading alone. Ink: wanna try painting? Nightmare: ....no. Blue: um I've seem you practicing, we can do it together! Red is really good at fighting magic! Nightmare: *eyelights shrink in fear* No I'm good!
Nightmare has no idea why they are moving around colored bits..... he's just reading the instructions and ... well the stars kinda had house rules and nightmare doesn't understand why. He's trying to speak as little as possible but the board game just isn't making sense to him
Dream is very very happy for his brother. He read a book for helping ..... basically how to help traumatized kids. It said something about building self esteem through tiny victories.
Nightmare hasn't really had any .... good social not-dream encounters and even if ink keeps asking him to paint ....it's not... bad.....
Dream knows positive interaction is good for his little brother! And Nightmare is too shy to ever initiate it.
So dream has to gently push nightmare to spend time with the others, with Dream there as a comforting presence. Nightmare will still try to stick completely near Dream, but at least he's less terrified when ending up alone with them. He's wary still but..... he seems to be opening up if Dream is there to make Nightmare feel like they can't touch him. After all, no one hurts him if Dream is there.
It's disorienting how similar and different dream is. How that's his dream but doesn't act like his dream. How he isn't the same size and there are rooms now. How Nightmare is expected to use a bed but he's never slept in one. How he's used to having a kid dream to sleep with but that's no longer. How dream still has these tasks and chores even if it's for different people (even if dream doesn't realize nm would see it this way). How different a building is, ones he's rarely ever entered for long, than the grassy hills near their mother.
Dream is ....still dream but Nightmare can't help but see the differences. It's a big change and Nightmare isn't prepared for most of it
Nightmare has never had anyone to talk his feelings to and that's not changing anytime. He's always burdened his feelings and he always had put dream before himself
...... it would be so heart breaking if Nightmare was told to get some sleep in his new room and he ends up sleeping under the bed because it feels safer
Nightmare: why is it so ...squishy? And hot? Dream: it's a really cozy bed. Nightmare: .... but it's too soft... it feels like I'm falling..... i...I'll try but....
Red: ... we are never letting him into underfell, even if he would be able to survive there. Dream: ....I didn't plan on it? Blue: Good morning!! Red and dream try to shush blue but it's already startled nm awake, and nm literally just panic jumps over the couch.
Nightmare keeps scanning the room he's in to keep watch
Edge treating nm like he did finding doomfanger. Scoop the scared thing, evade the claws, feed them. Red is just so done with his brother's kitten wrangling. Dream is nearly going to freak out on edge
Nightmare: what the hell does me wearing stripes mean? It's not an invite to carry me around In Dreamtale they never went by the stripes mean kid rule XD
Nightmare has learned that Dream will swoop in and save him if he screams in fear enough and like hell he's not going to use that. He doesn't want to inconvenience Dream but this new time is very confusing and he just wants to rely on Dream a bit
When Ink shows nightmare a picture of corruption noot, Nightmare asks what happened to his eye?? .... ink didn't tell noot that was him not too long ago
It's just dark in the bag. Maybe he can convince nightmare to set the apple by a window and to read out loud or like an audio book.
Dream being very disturbed if he sees nightmare reading to the apple. And then learning the apple houses the adult corrupted personality. And Nightmare is talking to them. Like it was his friend. (Which in Canon dreamtqle... nightmare did hear a voice talk to him very close to the apple event)
Mare behaves only to not get in Bag Timeout. Nightmare is really the only one that can sense and understand him. Mare refuses to even attempt to try and see if dream can sense him.
The grumpy apple just kinda simmers from how awful this is. At least night will shine the apple some and try to be the best guardian the kid can be.
..... the indignities continue when Night basically makes a little cushion and blanket spot for the apple. Mare doesn't like being treated somewhat like an invalid or pet
Night likes to tuck the blanket around the apple all cozy. The apple isn't too big for him to tuck blankets like dream is. The apple just radiates annoyance and irritation. Especially when night pats the apple and tell it good night.
Mare getting Jealous of that other apple. Mare should be the only apple Night is around. .... also that thing will rot eventually, better to just have Mare.
Then night puts a fake apple and the indignation starts all over again
