The 9th Hour... (Phase 1: Sept-Oct Event)

[central_librarymods]

The cold presence is seeping in through the dark shadows. The darkness is reaching further, brushing the minds of the patrons and opening doors to dimensions that should not be open. Something wants in. But in the Central Library, there are ways to get through without crossing entirely… through your dreams. Among other things.

Pick one of the options below and make a post for other patrons to join you in the events. You may make up your own, but keep it matching the event at hand as the different phases of the event will progressively get worse.

1. Your dreams are getting dangerous, violent even. When you wake up, there are bruises and injuries that shouldn’t be there. What is going on? Why are your dreams becoming a reality little by little? And why is it getting so hard to wake up?


2. Things are shifting in the Library. The shadows are moving and the temperatures are starting to drop. There are cold spots that sometimes get colder and sometimes it feels like if you turn around, you’ll find someone right behind you.


3. The monsters are looking a bit more frantic and daring to come closer to the center of the Library where they normally will not tread. It seems you aren’t the only ones scared of the dark recesses any longer.


4. The Market is now a lovely little faire of the early Renaissance with all sorts of fresh grain, fruits and vegetables! It is a brilliant sight, but it seems the ominous plague masks they don still gives a foreboding feeling of the miasma that killed over two-thirds of the world’s population… Perhaps you shouldn’t wander very far.


5. New areas are now opened up. A blacksmith and workshop for the tinkers has been created. You might want to look or contribute... You might also want to stop in the new bath area. The large pool has a Grecian feel and all of the walls are made of crystalline glass where the stars are always shining with a different universe in constant succession.


6. Wild Card: Make up your own scenario. Just remember that all of the things above are happening. Things are getting foreboding and growing stronger by the day. Sleep will be a luxury you might not have… You may not see what’s coming, not yet. But you know it’s coming.

"Sassy Clara," Bob says but there is still an edge of worry to his cheerfulness, "nah I'm not hiding. Just keeping an eye on things. You notice weird stuff going on too? I don't like it it worries me."

[braveheart_clara]

She leaned her shoulder to the shelf he was on, tilting her head a bit to be near, but looking out at the place. "I'm not too keen on it myself. I sometimes feel like there is something there, at the corner of my eye. But when I look I don't see anything."

"And the whispers," Bob says wishing he could shake his head, "something nasty is brewing and I'm not even sure where to start looking for a leak."

[braveheart_clara]

"Whispers are never good, I've found." They always mean something weird is about to happen. "Maybe if we start looking through the outer edges of the library?" She'd gladly give him a lift, if he needed it. But... wait... She squinted at him for a moment and just HAD to ask. "Hey, how do you get around the Library anyhow?"

"Oh that's a gift thanks to the Librarians. I can pop anywhere in the Library I want just by thinking about it," Bob says, "the Cat is my buddy. If you can't find me just look for him and he'll figure out where I'm hiding."

[braveheart_clara]

"HUh. They think of everything here, don't they." She said with a smile to him. "I don't think I've properly met the Cat yet, but I've heard a lot about him. For some reason I'm not surprised that you're friends with him."

Bob chuckles. "He's a bit of a crab sometimes, but he's a good kitty," the skull replies, "great sense of humor and common sense up the tail. Reminds me of my boss back home."
