EVENT: Illusions of the Important
Think of the person that elicits the most emotions from you. A lover, a family member, maybe even an archenemy? All through the night, you'll see that person. Nobody else seems to be able to, though... but they're real. In fact, you're going to prove it. You can chase all you want, though, but you'll never catch them.

Things to Keep in Mind:
✦ Please mark any threads that may contain anything that could be triggery or graphic!

✦ Keep all Night related threads to this post! For consistency sake, please do not create your own Night post.

✦ Whatever item your character is holding in their hands (not in their pockets, in a bag, etc. must be physically in their hands) will stay with them into the day. This is not in-game knowledge and will be something they will have to discover on their own. Once these items have seen the light of day, they are yours to keep and will not disappear (unless broken/eaten/expired, etc.)

✦ The natives are of little help. You may use NPCs in your threads, however remember that they won't give much information. NPCs can remember faces (if your character frequents a restaurant every night, the manager may begin greeting them by name) however they will not remember events (big bad monsters were chasing you last night? Are you high?) For the most part, conversations will be very neutral. The usual, "hello there, how are you doing today? Back again?" type stuff.

✦ Language barriers do exist during the night. That means every character reverts back to their native language and unless they speak the same language, characters will not be able to understand each other. (Strangely enough, they will be able to understand NPCs. Just don't try to get them to translate for you, because all you'll get are strange looks.)

✦ Unless otherwise stated in the event above, the city has come alive again and the ruins have disappeared. This means that the city is now entirely functional. Feel free to take the subway, go visit the zoo, play in the park, etc.

✦ Abilities/powers have now returned. Powers start out incredibly weak and grow a little stronger with each consecutive night the character spends here. Use your own discretion.

✦ Nights will function similar to dreams to the characters. It is up to the player how much of this "dream" that their character remembers. It is entirely possible to have no recollection of the previous night, or to remember everything in great detail. All we ask is that you remain consistent with your choices. (So if you've chosen for the character to forget certain aspects of the night, don't have them suddenly bring those events up in another thread.)

[ Well, that did it. She stops completely, chasing down Merlin temporarily forgotten.

Blinks in confusion.

Is this another language altogether? Because she has no idea what he's talking about. ]

So... not old and beardy?? [Because that look she's giving suggests not. Okay. If Merlin exists, he's... not old and beardy. He's nodding vigorously at the thoughts in his head.]

N..o...

[ She thinks that's the right answer. ... Though she's not quite sure she's understood the question entirely.

She takes a quick look around them. The crowd is slowly beginning to thin out, and Merlin is nowhere in sight. Still, it isn't as though he can hide. Once day comes, if the pattern holds true, this entire area will be a wasteland.

This may be a good time to actually pay attention to the kid that distracted her from her chase. He's dressed strangely, though he does seem to fit in more than she does in those clothes. And he's... bobbing his head up and down in nodding motions, though she's not quite sure why. All in all, just a little bit weird. ]

Oh, okay. You learn something new everyday. [The existence of Merlin is the least of really weird things happening right now.]

So are you... Gw..eneviere?? [That's right, right? If Merlin is a wizard. The girl is Gweneviere.

God, this is weird.]

[ Guinevere... She grabs him by the shoulders. Happily, albeit just a little roughly. ]

You know Gwen?!

[ Wait, no. If he's asking if she is Gwen, then he must not know her. But he knows of her, and that's a good sign, isn't it? Gwen. Sweet Gwen. Her servant. Her friend.

Though Merlin had been a friend, too...

She pushes those thoughts from her head. First, find Gwen. And Merlin. And then she'll... she'll... figure out the rest from there. ]

Nope. Don't know her either. Know of her. And Merlin. But I guess you do know them? [His lips pull down as he guesses.]

So you're looking for them then? I'd help, but I think I'm mostly useless. [Which really sucks, because he likes to do things. Standing back and letting things happen has just led to more deaths back home. And he doesn't have a banshee here to tell him what the nogitsune is up to.

But maybe he shouldn't be helping anyone anyway. Given Allison... He takes a heavy breath.]

I'm Stiles. By the way.

[ Mostly just chasing down Merlin, actually. But this boy looks like he's got his own problems to deal with. She supposes she can put off the chase a little longer. This place is large and crowded during the night, and by now Merlin would probably have gotten pretty far. ]

Well met, Stiles. [ Stiles... a strange name. Though he's a strange boy. ] I am Morgana.

Well met, too. [Is that what you say back? He makes a face. And then a pause. And then he looks around.]

This is another strange question coming from me, but... you haven't seen someone looking like me running around? Causing amok?

[ She pauses to think over his question. ]

N...o.... [ An embarrassed look creeps onto her face. ] Though, I can't say I've been paying much attention.

No, that's good. [He's not sure just what the Nogitsune would be up to anyway.]

I'm just trying to keep tabs on what's happening. [The fact there hasn't been a large explosion somewhere, people being killed, chaos everywhere, it makes him think.]
