250 - Fear Itself Mingle
[ Today is a day where most would be at risk of oversleeping.The dome lies dark like in the dead of night. The sun hasn’t risen today, streetlights casting a dull yellow glow and occasionally flickering out into nothing, only to spark back to life a moment later. There is no electric flicker from the kiosk. The Wardens are still. The wardens are silent.

The dome isn’t silent. There is a rustling of leaves, a snapping of twigs. Claws, scraping against concrete. The inhuman screech of an animal in peril, an animal hunting, an animal hunted. A screech that promises sharp claws and sharper teeth and blood.

The dome isn’t still either. There is something moving, thick as a shadow, tangible as a chill down your spine. Something that doesn’t belong here, something that snuck in when no one was looking. A boogeyman under the bed. A ghost in the closet. A will o’ the wisp, blinking in and out of existence under the flickering streetlights. Whatever it is it’s moving, leaving a trail of cold, dead fear wherever it passes. Something dark. A shadow so pitch black that it blots out the very lights in your heart, dragging your fears out screaming and kicking, reducing even the strongest, toughest man to a blubbering baby.

Perhaps best to stay in bed today, Marina. ]

	May I take a look at it? I may be able to help. [The witchlight floats closer, a warm little ball of flame lighting up the dark. Even with it he still feels that dreadful sense of unease and the fact that he of all people feels worried just amplifies that fear for him. He's good at hiding it, though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rebecca's eyes follow the light, which thanks to her time in Marina isn't that peculiar. She smiles weakly, even if she feels an odd pressing anxiety.] Sure. [She shrugs, still holding her arm which is slowly seeping a bit of blood through the improvised bandaging.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Saetan gently examines the injury, dark nailed fingers running over it with a tiny tingle of craft that leaves it scabbed over, rather than fully healed. Its not as much as he would like to do, but his power is limited in this place, and he still doesn't know by how much. He can't risk exhausting it if there will be trouble later. Its not a comforting feeling.] That should be a bit better. I'm sorry I can't do more.

	Ah. [That was really cool. It still hurts but it's... not bleeding everywhere. She smiles. Flexes her fingers gingerly.] Thank you, that's amazing. I feel like we've talked before... [Though ironically she can't quite remember his name.] I'm Rebecca. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A fond smile as he remembers.] Ah, yes. I believe we spoke on my first day here. Saetan SaDiablo. It's lovely to meet you in person, my dear. [He's listening for trouble as he speaks, unable to shake that nagging feeling of unease.] Were you hurt by one of those creatures? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Heh, the jewels guy.] Ah, yeah. Wasn't expecting it to come lashing out like that. It uh, almost took my head off. [Slight unfunny laugh. She combs her hand back through her hair, feeling where her headphones had been.] Took my communicator with it, though. That's gonna suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What are those things? I've never seen creatures quite like that before. You can use mine if needed; Darkness knows I can't abide the thing. [For a moment he looks less like the High Lord of Hell and more like an old man baffled by technology.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll make it, supposing the kiosks are up again when the lights come back. [She wraps her scabbed arm a little more, just to secure it.] I'm not quite sure, actually. They looked like lizards. (Reply to this) (Parent)
