You are about to enter a zone in which almost anyone can turn into anyone else, a zone in which it's always dark and that there never can be true happiness without darkness, we all need darkness in our lives and the one place we can go to get it is a zone simply known as the 'After Dark' zone. Dreams are strange things, sometimes they don't have a specific meaning to them and they just happen for no specific reason, but sometimes they tell a story. Nathan Forester's dreams were a gift and also a curse, they came true literally and it wasn't always a good thing. 'Oh curse my supernatural powers and my dreams...why do these happen to me?' 'Did you transform into someone else last night?' 'Yeah...this always happens.' Every night it would happen and he'd turn into somebody else, like sometimes he'd become his friends or family members and often into would be a were-celebrity he turned into.

On the night of March 20th, 2021 he was tossing and turning in bed, attempting to ignore the dream he was having but he couldn't...the dream started of with him talking to the late Robin Williams but Robin was a ghost and Robin was telling him something, something that he thought he was dire and he needed Nathan's help. 'So you need my help? But what with?' 'It's going to come across as awkward but i'm gonna need your body for something.' 'You mean you want to possess me?' 'Yeah, i've seen all those stories and I want to do it myself.' 'What? Robin...I don't think it's a good idea. Before he could do anything, Robin entered his mouth and dove down his throat possessing himself in the process.

Nathan looked at his arms within the dream and then recoiled a little bit as his arms lengthened, slowly sprouting brownish hairs on them that were more than typical male body hair, in fact they looked the hairs on Robin's arms. He let out a piercing scream as he woke up. 'Aaaagh! Good lord what a nightmare that was.' 'What's wrong?' 'I had a dream in hwich I was posssesed by the ghost of Robin Williams and I started to turn into him.' 'I think you should look next to you.' He reached over to get a piece of pizza. 'Hey can I have a slice of that?' he screamed as he saw the ghost of Robin Williams himself appearing right next to him. 'Gah...Robin!'

"You should be happy to see me?"

"Happy to see you? Robin, have you seen yourself?"

"I know I don't look or feel too good but i'm here to share something."

"I can't be seeing this right now, shouldn't you be floating around somewhere?"

"Oh believe me, this is real."

'Oh no no no...this isn't real, I am dreaming this, this is a dream with a dream. I had a dream about you and now i'm in another dream about you.' 'But i'm real...everything here is real including me.' 'I can't believe I am hearing this, I cannot believe I am being told this'. Nathan shook his head, attempting to ignore him. 'Oh but you are, just listen to me.' 'Robin, if this is your attempt at humor, it's not funny...' 'Trust me, if I was being funny you would know it.' 'Get the hell out of here, Robin.' 'Oh gee thanks a lot.' 'This is too much. I cannot handle this. This is definitely not real. Am I still dreaming or asleep or what?' 'I'm aware that this isn't the best shape i've been in...but i'm telling you.' 'This has to be another nightmare, there's no one someone like you who has passed away and is a ghost can still move and talk to people yet alone eat.' Robin picked up the pizza slice and ate it. 'Mmm...this pizza is pretty nice.'

"Suddenly I don't feel very hungry."

"Nathan...you're hurting my feelings."

'Hurting your feelings? Robin, has it occured to you that it may be unsettling for you to materialize in my apartment and visit me? Look at me, i'm talking to an invisible man.' 'Listen, about the dream.' 'What about it? I just dreamed you psosessed me and I turned into you.' 'I'm here to warn you it will happen.' 'I'm going absolutely bonkers, this is a dream alright..it's not real.' 'Oh but it's real and it will happen to you.' 'And what? I'm really going to turn into you? Like i'm going to start getting all energetic and start being good at celebrity impressions?' 'Beware...' 'Robin, this isn't funny.' 'I'm going out of my mind here...' 'I don't think you understand this, i'm telling you this as one of your celebrity spirit guides and I really care for you.' 'If you truly care for me you would realize how disconcerting it is for me to share my snack with a comedian who is a ghost.' 'I know this isn't exactly the best time to tell you.'

"Robin, it's not the right time at all."

"I'm just saying that it will happen to you."

"I'm not listening to you...i'm not listening."

'You're the only person besides Mel I can reach out to, being a ghost is fun but very limiting conversation-wise. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring.' 'Then why don't you go for her?' 'Because you're the one who had the dream and you're going to turn into me.' 'I still refuse to believe that. Robin, this is a dream and you're merely just a result of my imagination acting up, you're not real.' 'Hey! You have no idea how much that hurts me.' 'Hey, it hurts me too. And any minute i'm going to wake up and this nightmare will be over.' 'This isn't a nightmare, this is real.' 'There is still no way I am having a conversation with someone who passed away in 2014.'

Robin sighed, being a ghost was fun for sure but he wished he could get Nathan to understand more. 'Listen, I know it's hard for you to believe me. But you're going to be just like me.' 'I would rather...oh you know, what happened to you.' 'Hey, watch it! What happened to me is something you don't want to wish on anyone, not even yourself.' 'This isn't real, this is some kind of weird dream, a nightmare...i'm going to wake up anytime now.'

"This is 100% real, it's not a nightmare."

"I will not be lectured by a walking furball."

'Do I have to show you what I mean?' 'I would rather you don't.' 'Please?" 'Oh alright then.'

Nathan reluctantly sighed as he looked at Robin for a few minutes, Robin took on a translucient form and entered his mouth...going down his throat in the process. He clutched his stomach for a little bit and groaned. 'Ick...Robin, what did oyu do?' 'Nothing, i'm just showing you what will happen' 'Well you showed me what will happen when you take over me, now what's going to happen?' 'This.' That's when several waves of pain jolted through his body, he groaned in agony as he held his head , making him feel like he was about to burn up.

"Jesus Christ! Aaaaah! I'm burning up!"

Nathan groaned as his hands slowly began to grow in size and grow brownish hairs on them as he started to rip his shirt up, his arms slowly lengthening as hairs slowly grew on them. There were several loud cracks and snaps as this happened, making him yelp in pain. 'Good lord, this hurts so much....aaaaaaaagh! Aaaagh! Help me!' He cried as his chest and torso extrended a little bit to become quite lithe as brownish hair slowly coated the former, it wasn't fur but he did appear to be rather hairy as his groaned...clutching his stomach as it also sported some brown hairs on it. He attempted to get up but he fell down onto his knees.

"I've heard of making others feel your pain but this is ridiculous. Aaaaagh! I'm sorry...I didn't mean it."

He groaned as his back broadened a little while his legs lengthened, his feet enlarging as the hairs slowly crept up his legs, giving him legs that now matched his chest, stomach and arms. 'No...no, i'm turning into you. This truly is a nightmare', 'I told you, it's not a nightmare...it's real. And now, we will feel each-other's pain. Even when i'm not in close proximity of you you will be able to feel it.' 'Oh great, now I know how Demona feels.' The pain was becoming unbearable for him and he let out several pained screams. There were several more cracks and cricks as he shot up in height to 5'8, panicking in horror as he saw his transforming body.

The pain was coursing through his whole body, making him feel even worse than before.....'Ugh...i'm sorry I insulted you Robin! I didn't mean to call you a furball, Robin!' He gasped as he watched his hair lengthen, darkening in the process as his brow and forehead altered and his skin slowly aged to give him a mature look, he groaned as his eyes turned from brown to blue and widened, his nose lengthened a little as his face slowly crunched due to his facial features slowly contorting into altering into a perfect copy of Robin's own features, he groaned as his chin lengthened and his features fully warped and reshaped themselves, now he fully resembled Robin and he didn't recognize himself.

He thought it was over but alas...it wasn't, he yelped out a few more times as his voice deepened, going down a couple of octaves and altering in timber, becoming a low-timber but high energy voice and contorting into a copy of Robin's voice, and that's when Robin's thoughrs and memories slowly entered his mind. 'No, no...I refuse. I am not you, I am not Robin Williams, I am Nathan Forester...I always have been, right?' He groaned, attempting to keep Robin out of his mind but he just couldn't, he closed his eyes and hoped this was another nightmare but alas it wasn't, he was really turning into Robin and he couldn't do anything about it. 'This has to be some kind of curse that will love and happiness will cure.' 'I'm afraid no lovey-dovey cuddle, hug or even the slightest kiss can cure this. Once you've got the shared Robin Williamsism curse that I have, you will become like this more often than not.'

"This is unfair, why do I have to be you?"

"I know you don't think it's fair but I want you to understand this."

Nathan couldn't bear this and attempted to resist, but no matter how many times he tried to resist...Robin's thoughts just seemed to influence him further, making him think and start to act like how he acted in the movies and also a little like the real Robin....'Is this how you must have felt when you came down with Lewy Body? Because I feel like my mind and yours and mine is losing it.' 'I'm sorry about what i'm doing and all, it's just there was no other way to show you.' He groaned a few more times, in several attempts to keep Robin out but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't and it proved to be futile in the end. 'I'm sorry for this...' Robin murmured from within as the transformation reached completion and traces of Nathan faded into the shadows, which got replaced with memories and thoughts that belonged to Robin himself.

A few seconds later the transformation finalized and now Nathan wasn't there, there was now Robin Williams. Nathan was still there, but now thanks to Robin's powers he not only now felt Robin's pain but now things were definitely a lot hairier...'Oh yes, did I mention you'll turn into me whenever you're in a state of emotional stress or if you are in pain?' 'So i'm a were-version of you now?' 'Well I wouldn't say 'were' but okay, sure.' 'Oh that's just great.' The new Were-Robin looked at himself for a minute after calming down. He remembered that he had lived such a tragic life and felt lonely in the world, that is until he met Dan, the handsome and thicc Were-Aykroyd who loved him and took care of him. And that's when he decided that if he was ever going to find a way to deal with this problem, there was one person who could help him.

"There's only one person that can help me."

"Correct and he's a Were-Aykroyd, that Were-Aykroyd loves you. And you love him too, right?"

"I certainly do."

"Maybe you should call him."

"I will.."

And thus with that 'Robin' called his friend Dan...Dan of course was a were-Aykroyd, a very handsome and thicc one at that who was a King Were-Aykroyd, basically the Aykroydian version of an alpha and once Dan arrived, the two of them bonded and Robin explained what happened, he didn't mean to do what he did but sometimes he couldn't help himself, that little piece of him leftover from Insomnia, One Hour Photo and Death To Smoochy...that dark edge to him, that side he couldn't control sometimes, that side always made him feel like he was a monster who needed love. And luckily Dan was there to help with that. After all, he too knew how it felt. He remembered when he bonded with him, how he related to him and his problems, sometimes it helps to have a good friend who understands you. As for what happened later, the two were-comedians hung out and stuck by each-other and to this day are considered an item.

As for 'Nathan', while it did take him a long time to adjust to becoming Robin, he grew to adjust to it but he had to be careful not to get too stressed out and he had to be careful, since one many side-effect of turning into a man who had multiple different characters is turning into said characters, a different one each and every time. And now he had to find out a way to make sure his friends didn't find out about this. So there you have it, sometimes a spell or curse isn't the same like in the old stories, and not all curses can be cured with love, sometimes it takes a lot more than lovey-dovey to fix this curse, and those extra special curses come from a very special place, an extra special place known as the After Dark zone.
