@Kaalee

I agree

[Dark Light]

Haha yea, I agree with @Kaalee.
Any way I'm off to bed so there won't be another post from me for a while.
Night :)

[Ryuzaki]

I see you guys need a Polymath. I'm down. Still accepting?

[Kaalee]

I think we had someone apply on our interest check actually...but since we're full now you can make your own ability!

@Kaalee

That. Sounds. EPIC. Will have a CS up by the Weekend.

[Prints Avoid]

Yeah, that was me. I got the polymath. I'm trying to pop in, I'm just not sure how. I'm not even sure what my character's relationship with everyone is. Any suggestions?

[Ayla]

You could walk into the Cafe or, you could join mine and @sk0m's characters. Aslynne does run a large business, so maybe he's her accountant, and friend.

[Dark Light]

I m really looking forward to midnight coz not only will my character learn of the crazy stuff that goes on but so will I :D

So what do the darklings actually do?

[Ayla]

@Dark Light They eat people. Like large cats they go hunting. It is possible for Daylighters and animals to pass into the Secret Hour through small tears or weak spots in the area the Secret Hour encompasses. Usually they just eat rabbits, deer, pets and livestock, but the occasional human gets through. Thousands of years ago Darklings used to be out all hours of the day and night hunting humans and eating them. But humans started getting smarter and finding ways to fight back. The Darklings created that 25th hour of the day in order to survive.

@Ayla

Yeah, in hindsight that was all pretty much the obvious course of action, lol. Thanks!

[Ayla]

@Prints Avoid Course. :)

It always helps to know the best mind for numbers in town

[Dark Light]

Sooo if Tyler was caught alone and awake somewhere at midnight would he be in trouble with the darklings and slithers?
Let's say it was near the middle of town..

[Ayla]

@Dark Light

Darklings wouldn't go to the middle of town it's too full of modern technology and stuffs. But if he were near the Reservation he might be. Or maybe in town he'd be more likely to encounter a pack of six Slithers. Usually, Darklings don't bother with the Midnighters unless you're a Fire Bringer and even then they'd eventually get over that too.

[Dark Light]

Sorry more noob questions, I read that they attack darklings with 13 letter words... How's that work?

[Ayla]

@Dark Light

Darklings don't really like numbers in general. Math is too new an invention for them to adjust to. They can't think in complex numbers like that. But, for some reason they like the number 12. It's never explained as to why, but my best assumption is that it's even and in nature symmetry is key. 13 and multiples of it just seem to work the best because it's an odd number after 12. So words with thirteen letters or groupings of thirteen letter words become weapons themselves. You could speak them out loud to harm a something as weak as a Slither, but naming weapons does more effective damage especially against Darklings. In the Midnighters Universe there are 25 hours in a day. The 25th hour is compressed between 12:00 and 12:01 AM, Darklings only live in that compressed one hour so change doesn't come easy to them. They're frozen 24 out of 25 hours of a day so it takes them almost a whole month to live a single day in their incredibly long lives. Change is hard enough when you live in normal time, but imagine if you couldn't keep up. The first cave man discovering fire, you'd be frightened of it.

@Dark Light@Prints Avoid@Kaalee@sk0m@hagroden

Hey you guys, I've been trying to think up a better name for this play, but I'm not quite sure what. Any suggestions?

[Dark Light]

@Aylalet the story unfold a little then you might get more of an idea :)

[Ayla]

@Dark Light@Prints Avoid@Kaalee@hagroden

My next response to @sk0m will round off normal time and start up at the gathering at the Cafe fifteen minuets before Midnight. So, when you guys are all done, speak up and I'll set the stage for Midnight! ^-^

[Dark Light]

I'm going to have Ty leave the cafe and head to the bar, should I edit that into my previous post?
