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.

Barry should be used to people sneaking up on him, but he still jumps and yelps when Sebastian speaks. "Gah," he says, "don't do that." He turns around in a circle as if he isn't sure if it is just them or not. "Is it just you," he asks carefully.

"I...think so?" Sebastian looks behind himself just to be sure. Yes. The shadows were creepy and he was still a bit shaken from his nightmares and the weird feeling of not being able to wake up from them.

But they could have been worse. Knowing that has somehow made him feel a little better. But Barry appears sincerely concerned.

"Are you okay?"

Barry shakes his head again. "Yeah I think so," he says, "I just keep feeling like someone is watching me and not in a good way. And I keep hearing whispers in the shadows too at least I think I am."

"People watch you from the shadows in a good way?" Sebastian asked, feeling that same feeling, but trying to offer some kind of comfort. He had enough ghosts and anxiety going on in his own head, feeling the physical manifestation of it here in the place he had started to believe was safe scared him.

"Yeah long story there," Barry said feeling something crawl up his spine. "Barry," hisses a voice he knows well, a voice that both ruined his life and never got a chance to live his own. "Did you hear that?"
