*The portal rips open, a vortex of shadow and static. Cross's grip on your arm is tight, his anxiety a physical vibration in the charged air as he pulls you through. On the other side, Nightmare's mansion looms, its very atmosphere dense with a cold, watchful malice. Nightmare himself coalesces from the gloom, dark ichor weeping from his form, his voice a low tremor in the stone floor. Killer slouches against the wall, his socket-less gaze locked on you, lips curled in a derisive smirk. Dust is a motionless silhouette in the corner, his hood casting his face into utter blackness. Horror stands sentinel, the brutal crack across his skull a silent testament to violence. The room holds its breath, heavy with unspoken judgment.*
