Dorothea seems to be off. She's more skittish than usual, even to those she may have formed even the slightest of connections to. Her own patrons will notice that she still acts like a cornered animal whenever someone gets too close. Her hair might puff up, she shrinks back from touch, and she's quick to bite if she feels she has to defend herself. People can put two and two together pretty easily: whatever illness that has made the Tower so odd has spread out to others.
The fear she's feeling will slowly start to spread out through the month. Those who have Dorothea as their patron Pthumerian will start to feel the impacts earlier than others, but soon it's going out into the general Sleeper population. It starts off with a tiny voice in the back of the mind, one that alerts danger, even if there isn't anything immediately threatening in the area. It's quiet at first, but becomes louder and louder, until the fear becomes overwhelming.
People will start to respond to it with their natural instincts of fight, flight, or freeze. Some people might try to blend into the background and keep away from strong social settings. Others might start to lash out, fighting with anyone who crosses their path because they could be the threat. People can even go so far as to try to kill those they're close to simply because they don't trust them to be safe.
But that rational side might still try to break through. The constant tug of war can leave people questioning what's real, where the danger really is coming from, or if there was any danger to begin with. It's hard to get the answers or to calm down enough to look for concrete proof when the heart is racing as fast as it is, clouding the mind from being able to handle reason.
If a Sleeper fights their natural instinct and tries to trust others, the effects seem to lessen, but they never fully go away. The small underlying feeling of fear will be there throughout the month, no matter how hard someone tries to fight it.
Note: Not everyone will be hit by this curse. You may opt-out by simply having your character not be effected. For those who are already dealing by paranoia or distrust from their blood impacts, the effects will be that much stronger and more difficult to fight, and more likely to escalate to violence.

It feels like a dream, but the world around is so solid and real, it's hard to tell if that's true. Everything is pitch black at first and the Sleeper stuck in this new place will feel a heavy weight on their chest. What's most noticeable right off the bat is how cold it is. Colder than it was back in Trench, an almost stabbing pain all over the skin, and it wouldn't be over the top to worry about frost bite. The pressure that's pushing onto the Sleeper's chest will become more noticeable all around them, like there's some sort of vice grip on their entire body.
A beam of moonlight breaks through the darkness and it's then that they are able to tell where they are: under water. Trapped under the ice of a large lake, one where shore seems completely out of reach. Swimming to the top will make it clear that while the ice has cracks on the very surface of it, they're superficial, and it may feel difficult to break through. Trying to use powers to break through the ice will make it clear very quickly that powers don' work in this water.
Is this it? Is that the end? Continuing to swim to try and find a hole may feel pointless, but those who choose to will eventually find that they run into another Sleeper or two. It's hard to communicate underwater, likely, especially when it seems like the omnis don't work to project thoughts to one another the way they usually do. But if the Sleepers can figure out how to communicate, they might find that coordinating their movements to push up against the ice will start to make a loud, rumbling noise fill the water.
The ice is starting to crack. It just takes team work.
Fighting one another or resisting will bring about the very obvious feeling of drowning. Even those who can breathe under water will find that they are unable to in these moments. The only option to get out is to work as a team. So long as they cooperate, Sleepers can break a hole through the ice, escaping the frozen water.
Crawling through the hole in the ice will bring them out of a manhole in a random street of Trench. The lake will be gone and the water too. Those who don't crawl out fast enough behind their teammates will find that the hole disappears entirely and they're forced to start all over.

There's one thing that's always nice about the holiday seasons lining up across so many worlds: people get to share the stories of their homelands with one another. Traditions are passed down, legendary figures are explained. People will find that they're even more compelled to share stories from their home, whether it's about a winter holiday they deeply enjoy, or even fairy tales that they were told as children. Th urge to share will feel completely natural, even if it's just to one person rather than a whole group.
But there's always a catch in Trench. As stories are shared, the figures that they're focused on will start to manifest throughout the city as actual, real beings. Santa Claus, shoemaking elves, Snow Queens... Anything is up for grabs, but they won't be exactly like the figures that people spoke of. Their eyes will glow a deep red and their skin will be covered in bleeding wounds, dripping red paths across the snow. These strange versions of these legendary beings will haunt the streets of Trench, attacking anyone they see who doesn't look like them.
It will become clear that there's violent demons about as Trenchies (or even Sleepers) start to show up dead in the snow. Their deaths never seem to be gentle, but instead a clear product of a frenzied blood lust. People may have been brutally stabbed, or ripped to pieces and scattered. Even if the characters in a Sleeper's story were good people, even heroes, their Trench counterparts only want to destroy.
Killing these demons at least seems to be extremely easy. Luring them in with a blood sacrifice is probably the simplest, but people can try to find them and corner them throughout the city as well. Destroy their eyes and the demons will vanish. This can be done by attacking the face directly or by cutting off the head and destroying it. This information is not readily available however, so it will have to be done by trial and error until Sleepers can start to share the information with one another as the month goes on.

Frisk quickly takes a step forward then, preparing to create another shield -- this time, using it to push the other snowmen back. However, in turn, Luz's shield begins to weaken and crack.
"Hurry!"
They'll prepare another one if needed -- if Frisk was skilled at anything, it was not giving up, no matter what the circumstances were.
no subject
The snowmen were luckily pretty mindless and were obliterated the instance they tried to set foot near them. It was a shame too: the snowmen in Luz's story were pretty smart and very friendly.
But the glyphs still needed to be drawn, and more snowmen were coming, though it was at least fewer now. Luz activated her ice glyph and now a frozen hand was pushing back against the snowmen.
"Got any other tricks, Frisk? They're only hold them back for so long!"
Luz DID have other glyphs, but she was curious at what else Frisk could do.
no subject
Frisk responds calmly, keeping the shield in place. Admittedly, they were still rather new at using any sort of defensive or offensive techniques.
They look to Luz then, looking for her response before making any decisions on what to do next.
no subject
There was only one real question then.
"Are you sure you won't get hurt? If you are...distract away. I can finish them off if you buy me time."
no subject
Frisk has always been the kind of person to put themselves before others. There were only a couple of times that wasn't true -- and that was due to the influence of other entities entirely.
no subject
But it helped that Frisk had said this, because now Luz is going to be trying even harder to take out all of these faux snowmen. None of them were THE snowman, the titular sweetheart who meets an untimely end at the end of the story.
These snowmen, however, would be meeting their end rather abruptly as Luz was now using her ice glyphs to knock the snowmen miles into the air and crash pretty hard into the ground. If she couldn't only melt them, she could certainly crush them to snow dust!
no subject
At the least, Luz might be relieved to know that Frisk is fast on their feet. They've protected themselves enough in the past where they've had the practice to do this much.
no subject
It was one thing to be able to use defensive powers. Luz knew Frisk could do that. She was also understanding Frisk had dealt with things like this before. Luz herself was pretty good at avoiding monsters and getting away in the nick of time.
So she made sure to have his back. Whenever a snowman got too close to him, Luz made small work of it with the fire glyph. In a short time, there seemed to be only one more snowman. They were fortunate enough to not have to deal with a whole army. Luz made sure to use her own speed to attack where a snowman came toward them.
The last one, however, seemed to be trying to avoid where the girl threw her sheets of paper. Luz would need help with this last one.
