**Event Post** Life's no fun without a good scare
October 25th - ?
On the evening of the 24th, a thick fog rolls in shrouding everything. Those who were here a year before may recognize it... But this year there's something very different. Tendrils of black mist are swirling through the fog, too, though it seems to avoid touching your character for now. The shards will glow red and hum for a while before flashing a red light and dying down, seeming dim and lifeless.
Once again, morning doesn't dawn on the 25th, and instead there's a starry sky and a huge full orange moon that sits on the horizon no matter the hour. Occasionally clouds will float across its surface, making it seem almost skull like. The fog has settled onto the sea, becoming like a second sea itself, still wreathed with black mist that now seems grasping.
Then you can hear the bells. Shrill this time, alarming.
Ghost ships come sailing out of the fog, same as the year before. Their sails are in tatters, but mist is around them now, curling through every aspect of them. The ghosts themselves are writhing, seeming to want to escape something, moaning and pointing, clawing at the air or their own heads. They will grasp for your character, too, and if their bony fingers should settle on your shoulders, you may come to find out what nightmares are made of.
And to those who've been through this before, beware... The darkness may stick around a little longer this time...
This is the year the nightmares come true, and ghosts touching your character can have one of three effects.
It's only a dream, it's only a dream
Your character's nightmares will become real, but only they can see them. For example, if they are afraid of giant dogs, they will see them everywhere and it will be real to them. Getting bitten may seem real and feel real -- but no one else will see or feel what your character is going through.
This lasts until the end of the event, or the character faces their fear in whatever capacity you decide.
Waking nightmare
Your character's nightmares will become real to everyone. If your character is afraid of a giant dog, a giant dog will appear and attack. Injuries are real. Death is even possible with these nightmares made real.
These nightmares last until the end of the event, or the character faces their fear in whatever capacity you decide. Character B may fight and/or defend themselves against A's nightmare, but will be unable to make it disappear.
What dreams may come
These nightmares will literally scare your character to death. How long it takes for this to happen is up to you. Characters who die will remain dead until the end of the event, at which point they will reappear somewhere mysterious (that will be announced).
Additionally, each ship will have at least one poltergeist that delights in causing havoc. How much havoc and how deadly it is is up to you.
If you have questions, ask below.
Otherwise, have fun and...

Just want to make sure how much room there is on that.

Like if some one fighting the nightmares of some one cursed with 'walking nightmare' is killed would they also be out of commission and show up later in that same mysterious place or would they reappear like normal?
