Anthy and Lyra? Nightmare up. This one is high-violence, low squik.
Luna, do you still want a second nightmare? We talked about it at one point, but my notes got lost. In the river, last weekend. With the pirates. And bard.
If you didn't get a mention in the posts today, and want a nightmare this week, post here. If you don't want a nightmare, just ignore.

Here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/ways_back_room/92672.html?thread=1790208#t1790208) is the only on LJ summery that I can find. Its a damn good one, however, and if you check out the "Joe" link you'll see what I did with it.
The basic theory is that I am taking people's canon, stuff that goes on in Milliways, and my own sicksicksicksicksick imagination and coming up with things to torment sleep.

Oh, god...what to pick, what to pick...Sario comes from a family of painters. The boys that showed magic all painted a portrait of themselves with their blood, sweat, tears etc in the oils. This painting is used to punish the boys byt the teachers if they stray. The painting is burned or cut slightly, and where ever the painting his harmed, so is the boy. For those whom the teachers decide dangerous, they are painted blind and with crippled hands. Sario saw this when he was eleven, and has hence forth always painted a series of fake paintings to avoid this. Can't remember what's it called as I don't have the book on hand and can't get it. So, possibly forgo a nightmare about that until I get the name. Anyway, he grows up with a girl called Saavedra (she covers his first murder by burning the portrait so that the teachers can't tell that Sario stabed Tomaz, the boy he saw being disciplined). He falls in love with her, but she becomes the mistress of Alejandro, the Duke's Heir. Insane with jealously, Sario paints her into a painting, living her alive but doomed to watch the centuries go past. Sario himself becomes the head painter in court, the Lord Limner.
Sario refuses to die, so that when he starts going blind and old around the age of forty (the Gifted Grijalva males all age far faster then normal) he picks a talented, Gifted boy, and swaps their bodies before killing his old one and assuming the new one. The process involves him giving the boy a potion to disorintate them, and then he draws their souls out of their bodies and leads the boy's soul to his body. It's dangerous, but he's done it at least sixteen times without fail. It's most likely far more men then that though.
He lives like that for centuries, only once achieving to again become the Lord Limner. Evntually, though, nearly four hundred years after he captured Saavedra, his pupil Elenya finds out that 'Vedra is moving within the painting, she tells, and Saavedra is freed. Saavedra, who is pregnant and very pissed off, promptly paints Sario into a painting-prison of his own. Without windows, so that as time passes and the candals and lamps go out, Sario will be in the dark for as long as the painting lasts. In this, he escapes as the last lantern is still just lit.
Also, when he puts his blood and etc into a painting, it has the ability to hurt him. If the painting burns, then so will he. Is that enough?

I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days.

Yes, another nightmare would be nice (racking up the angst, here), even if I've been lurking for the past few nights. Would you mind if I waited until tomorrow to react to the nightmare?
