There is a place, a zone between reality and dreams they call the Nightmare’s Claw. The surreal, lucid dreamscape blurs and shifts like wet paint running down canvas. Only one thing remains in crystal clarity: a tavern, old and crumbling, built of splintered planks and mismatched stone. Fiery hellhounds prowl outside, guardians blazing into the night like beacons of flame and fur. They won’t harm you, don’t worry. We accept all character kinds here: demons, werewolves, cosmic entities and aliens, the drowned, just to name a few.
Inside, beneath the flickering light of the swinging chandelier, werewolves bark and bay, clawing at their mugs. The floral decoration is fed with dreams themselves, growing to strange avatars of nightmare, with gaping, fanged flytrap heads. The drinks here are brewed from dreams themselves. The bartender, an ancient gargoyle, its features long since worn away by weather and age, folds its cracked, crumbling wings and steeps another batch of nightmares.
Rules
Ya know, the usual
-Be inclusive, no OOC arguments
-Keep it PG-13. Censor swearing
-Include a word you could use to describe a dream in your first post (Lucid, Surreal)
Questions about food and lodging?
Mounts and Pets We have a wide assortment of highest quality flame retardant stalls, and rest assured, your mount will be well cared for, be she nightmare horse or skeletal warhorse. Hellhounds and other pets are allowed inside the bar and most available hotel rooms.
Beverages and Edibles Drinks come free with the purchase of a VIP card. If you’re just stopping by to wet your muzzle, try a shot of Fear, Panic, or even a Nightmare cocktail (all reasonably priced from 5 to 15 gold). Hungry? Our bartender can pull any food you desire from the right dream.
Lodging We have a large selection of luxurious hotel rooms and suites, free and with room service with the purchase of a VIP card. Renting a room for the night can be as cheap as 15 gold. The rooms, meticulously crafted from dreams, should already have molded themselves to your ideal.
The VIP Card Membership Just an affordable 30 gold a week, the VIP card grants you free access to hotel lodgings, complete with room service. Drinks are also on the house.
The Staff
The Gargoyle Bartender An ancient, worn and crumbling gargoyle with the power to manipulate dreams.
The Waitstaff Mutated plants, avatars of nightmare that feed on dreams. Their sap is valued in cocktails.
The Landlady A faceless succubus with a shifting, blurry form. Speaks only through her hellhound.
The Mascot A smiling, tiny shadowy creature with two little horns. Has a constant aura that makes them look like a projection on an old projector. (Kinda imagine Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine except slightly less cartoonish).
Hi! I'm EJO. I am a silly billy who forgets to play Genshin Impact every day and totally DOESN'T simp for at least three different ninja girls. Some other facts about me:
Milio has been ditched. Now Xerath is my friend.
My average accuracy in Marvel Rivals is about 15%.
A werewolf enters the tavern, sniffing at everything it passes. A rusty, but still deadly, halberd lies on its back and it's wearing leather armour studded with very sharp spikes at regular intervals.

My name’s Gradius, this is my second account :P I love Hollow Knight and I have been on ddb for a while. Come rp with me anytime! It is my purpose. My title that was given to me by Drummer is…SPIRIT OF THE WEST, GUARDIAN OF THE HOLLOWS.
No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void.
An uncomfortable coldness falls over The Nightmare’s Claw. It makes your very bones shiver, it’s like being dipped into the ocean in the middle of a cold winter night. It almost makes your body freeze up, and you feel an unbearable sense of fear wash over you. There is a clacking sound outside the tavern, like hollow bones being clicked together. The sound grows louder and more chilling as it is mixed with crunching and creaking. A heavy pound follows soon after, then another, like footsteps. The doorknob of the tavern rattles and something seems to he scratching the door, but instead of the door opening, it is engulfed in black and deep blue shadows. Something steps out of the shadows, what you first see is a crustacean’s claw, serrated with bone and exoskeleton, next a beings arms and other hand pass through, it’s shoulder are spiked with multiple harpoons and hollow looking points. Its head is barely discernible from how unfathomably hideous it is. It has large, bugged out eyes that are as dark as the void, it seems to have mandibles of some kind, and a large beard and mustache of seaweed conceal it’s mouth. Sticking off of the creatures back are four double jointed crab legs, as massive as the height of the tavern. The creature is close to 11 feet tall, it’s a miracle it fits in the tavern. It stares disgustedly at the patrons.
