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.

"Dream Beavers. I haven't even GOTTEN to the other crazy stuff yet, Bookworm." Casey responds, sarcasm for sarcasm. At least the areas they were heading to were closer to the main desk, and more light.

"Don't have to be like them. You just have to know how to take care of yourself." Murmured more quietly, almost like Casey was thinking. "For them, it's about knocking you down. For you, it's about survival." Casey'd seen plenty of bullies in his time. Had a few encounters himself; not any more.

"I don't want to fight anyone anymore." Why couldn't they just leave him alone? Or accept him as he was? His father. Christian. All of them.

Why did everyone either want to hurt him or want to change him?

"It's brighter here." Sebastian noted quietly as they moved closer to the main desk. He knew this area a bit better because he'd spent so much time here cleaning and admiring the books, reading what was safe.

Casey relaxed a bit more as they got to a brighter area, subtle breath in and out. Turning to look at Sebastian again, head tilting as he studied the other teen. Then shrugging. "We only just met, Bookworm, but if you need to, you come find me. I don't like bullies, and I'll happily beat 'em up for you."
