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. ]

	Oh! Oh my gosh, Lyle! I'm so sorry, I thought you were... something else! [ Lowering that broom, but still keeping it in a firm grip. Just in case. ] Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-20 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm fine. At least in terms of this encounter. On edge for some reason. Are you alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2013-12-21 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... [ She swallows in an effort to calm her racing heart. ] A bit spooked I guess, but I'm fine. Do you know what's going on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-21 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Understandable. [He sighs, looking around at the darkened dome] Not specifically. There are glitches sometimes. Apparently this is one of them. But it feels like it has unleashed something else into the dome. Well, yes, there are raptors running around - which has happened before - but this eery feeling means there has to be something else.

	So I'm not the only one getting the piss shivers today? Whew... that's kind of a relief. I mean, I don't scare that easily so it's nice to know I'm not alone in freaking out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-22 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	No, it doesn't seem like you are. It is at least reassuring I agree that others are feeling this way too... it doesn't help the fact that we are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2013-12-23 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	What do you think could be doing this? The wardens? Is this another of their dastardly tricks to get us to confess to all our dirty little secrets, cause I think I'm all confessed out by now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-23 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	I don’t think so. Normally they don’t want to give up so much control. Something… something had to have messed with the Wardens. Now what that thing is thing is, I don’t know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2013-12-25 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	Something is messing with the Wardens..? But I thought they were supposed to be un-messable! [ Wait. ] ...Does this mean that this something... whatever it is, could end up messing with the rest of the dome too? Not just the light? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-26 03:04 am UTC (link)
	They like to claim they are, but there are still things that can get to them. If it got to them, it has the potential to get to us as well. In fact, that might be why we constantly feel like there is something dangerous around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2013-12-26 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	Because there is something dangerous around, you mean? [ Wow. Creepy. ] So what do we do? I mean, I don't know about you but I'm not very good at hiding under the bed to wait for it to be over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, there are things that are dangerous, but there isn’t something right there, right now.

[And he pointed into the darkness. He waited a moment, really hoping a raptor didn’t come out of nowhere and bite at his hand]

I’m not either, but the question is what can we do. I doubt the raptors were the cause of this so there is something else here that did it, but we don’t know where it is or what it is.

	So the only thing we can do is find out where and what it is... and try not to get eaten in the process. [ What time is it? Adventure time! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-27 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	That pretty much seems like the answer. And definitely the part about not being eaten. Curious about trying to figure out what is causing this? [He is accepting adventure time if she is up for it] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2013-12-28 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	As curious as a whole flock of cats! [ Which is appropriate since... haha, already dead! ] Where should we begin? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-28 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think a group of cats is a flock, but that's not the point. Hmm... we could always go straight to the source and go to the gate for Sector 6. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2013-12-29 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	You sure that's a good idea? I mean, I'm a big fan of running into danger but that seems a bit extreme. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-30 02:00 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's a bit extreme. We can go towards Sector 0 instead and see if we can find something there instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2013-12-30 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	I'm a lot more okay with that... it's a start, at least. If we don't find anything, we can venture in to the creepy dangerous jungle area. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2013-12-30 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that’s probably not the best area to go to when the power is out. It’s not safe when there are lights. [And he will start off for Sector 0, pulling a small flashlight from his pocket. It was the best he had at the moment] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-01-01 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't mind taking a peek in there sometime though... when it's less dark. [ Keeping close to him, she tightens the grip on her own flashlight. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2014-01-01 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	[He walks slowly, keeping track of what is going on around him. He didn't want anything to happen] Yeah, I wouldn't as well. The dark makes it too harder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	raptor attack y/n? pushedback 2014-01-02 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	I've never been afraid of the dark but it can really make your life suck sometimes. [ Like right now. She almost reaches for his hand, but thinks better of it. They're not that close yet, are they? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sure why not cbsniper_v2 2014-01-03 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, it can. This does suck. [He walks with her, not noticing that she reached for his hand. Not that he would have minded if she had. Then there was a sound behind them. Okay... that wasn't a figment of his imagination. This time it is him reaching for her arm] I think we are going to need to run for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2014-01-03 12:48 pm UTC (link)
	[ She casts a quick glance over her shoulder, catching movement and that coupled with his hand on her arm is all she needs to understand the danger of the situation. In the words of Emerson Cod: oh hell no. ] Oh crap! [ Running! ] Where should we go? Those things are fast! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
