@Aspen Wren So, where are we posting the CS? Right in the character section?

Aslynne rolled her bright blue eyes with a snort. “Can you at least not think so loud then? You’re going to make me paranoid about Darklings. I’m already crazy enough, I don’t need to start hallucinating.” The images his mind screamed out all but smacked her in the face. Making her head pound all the harder.
‘Wayfinders are the best!’ She heard from Echo making Aslynne scoff out loud. “Yeah sure, the best until a Darkling figures out a way to match you in speed.” Aslynne could imagine some of the old ones doing that. They never had a solid form and those freaky tendril things... she shivered at the thought of being touched by one of them. Her fears couldn’t have been something normal like spiders or bugs, no she had to be afraid of fire... you know painful stuff.
“Danielle left to go pick up Tyler from jail, I can taste them, they’re at her place, but she pushing it too close.” Aslynne spoke up about Danielle. Nine more minutes until she could breathe without feeling like her head was about to explode. Aslynne got up to pace the floor of the cafe anxious like she always was about the impending blue time wanting that silence. Checking her watch literally every thirty seconds. “I’ll go up and escort her and Tyler down if they’re not here before Midnight. Best go check on them now though. Don’t wait for us.” Aslynne stood from her seat and grabbed her back full of weapons to climb the external staircase to Danielle’s home, she could feel the relief of the acrobat’s shower washing over him and she shuddered at the image it forced into her head. Rubbing her arms against the chill she took the stairs two at a time until she was before Dani’s door.
Knocking and shifting the backpack over her shoulder she said loudly. “Hey! Dani, you’re pushing it close let me in!”

@Kaalee Is Danielle's apartment above the Cafe or somewhere else in town?
7:00 AM
The feeling of a cold wet nose and raspy warm tongue licking her face made Aerii groan in grumpy displeasure, but those high pitched whimpers that was quickly followed by Jurisprudence’s one hundred and ten pound body jumping onto her bed and flopping down onto her stomach to force her awake.
“Okay okay I get it you want to go for a damn walk.” Aerii grumbled to her always happy dog. Whose tail wagged a thousand miles a second. Sitting up she shoved the dog off her so she could get dressed. Her black hair in messy tangles and her bed was covered with text books and her notes. Scattered within all that was pages upon pages of Lore. She had fallen asleep with her glasses on again but that didn’t matter. As long as she could see. Juri jumped up and down with a low “ruff” in his inside voice. Barely even two the dog had more energy than a toddler on a sugar rush. The chill of the hardwood floor made her shiver as she changed out one pair of sleep mussed jeans for a clean pair taking of her plain purple T-shirt in exchange for a black “Invader Zim” long sleeve instead. This early in the day; the morning was always chilly. The sun had barely woken up itself, it’s light still cold. But, Aerii pulled her tangled hair into a bun for now and slipped on a well worn black pair of converse.
“Come on, Juri!” She said to her happy dog who gladly followed her down the stairs and right outside. No leash needed with her boy. He barely left her side, something she wanted. Aerii had trained him well and she gave him a pat on the head as they walked down the long drive of her family’s victorian estate. It had been in the family for generations and as it turned out after finding some secret passage in the library, Seer’s had run through the family. And there was a small Lore collection. But, having read through it all already she had started looking for more.
Thankfully, she practically lived alone, her parents always working. Her father was an American Ambassador in Spain while her mother was a NASA Scientist. Doing what was confidential but that didn’t mean Aerii didn’t try to hack in every now and again.
The silent street was tucked into the forest surrounding the base of the mountains that she liked to hike so often with Juri. The dark lonely road was so different to where Vess lived and the older Midnighter always extends an invitation to one the free spare bedrooms the housekeeper Maria maintained. Knowing that being so far away from Daylighters would be a vacation for her brain every so often. Aerii thought for a second that maybe she should check to see if she was doing okay today, but if she was in school she didn’t want to be a bother. The sun rose slower beneath the trees as Aerii turned off to a focus filled deer trail off the paved road. Taking her glasses off for now and letting Juri run around to their secret large clearing where they spent a lot of time together. The green grass slowly turning brown with the coming winter much like the leaves of the trees.
Flopping down to the lush but dying grass she let the dim rays of sun hit her face and closed her eyes. Thankful that she was on vacation this week. No work no school it was glorious, just a week of doing nothing and looking for more Lore.
Sweet baby jesus, it was nice.

Ugh sorry @Kaalee Blame the fever.
Hey guys, I would have cleared this up earlier, but I've been sick in bed for the last twelve hours or so and am finally feeling better. Everyone was at the Cafe aside from Tyler. Dark Light requested not to be there. But! Now that Danielle is out that means she can get caught on the road when Midnight arrives! -gasp!- We're all going to have to save them both now!

Almost Midnight!
Sorry guys I got impatient. Shoot me later! XD

Aslynne raised an eyebrow. “‘What’s a head’?” She repeated. “Lee, you need to stop being so paranoid. If there was going to be some kind of uprising I’d taste it. I live just outside of Darkling Kingdom. Trust me, they’re calming down. I think they’re starting to realize Danielle is more scared of them than they are of her.”
Aslynne again took the scroll and sighed. “Look, Lee. I’m glad you want to help, really. It means a whole bunch more than you’d think.” She’d walk her way over to him and placed a glove covered hand on his cheek. Kissing the leather of her glove instead of his skin. It was as affectionate as she got. Hugs were too dangerous and she only gave them to Danielle who knew to turn her head, lest she get a sour brain full of Mindcaster. “Anyway,” She started once she backed away. “I’ll read both of these over and decide what to do. Also don’t forget to put those tacks in or I’ll rip your mind out.” She threatened affectionately as she went to leave.
Well, as affectionately as the threat of being “mind ripped” was. Aslynne had to mess around with a lot of adult brains when she’d been younger, and the first attempts had not gone well. But, she was pretty good at it now. She could fine tune a stiff’s mind without much trouble in the Blue Hour. Other than the fact that physical touch from a Daylighter only had negative consequences to her, they didn’t put up a fight when frozen at Midnight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The silence of the town so late at night was a relief, but the incessant buzz of the other Midnighters in Danielle’s cafe was irritating. Rubbing her temples she was ear phone free. Having to need them less and less. Especially after the Lore Lee had found. But, she’ll dance naked on the bartop at Dan’s when she finally has a headache free day. The image of that itself make her scoff under her breath.
Right... like that day will ever come... Aslynne thought to herself.
Fifteen minutes till Midnight. Fifteen minutes till the entire world around them silenced and she’d feel sweet relief. The other Midnighters didn’t bother her too much and if she was having a really bad day she could always have just stayed home like she usually did.
But, with Tyler not knowing about Midnight... Lee had stressed the importance of her being here. Oh, the things she did for that Seer just about blew her mind sometimes. The sway he had over her... hell maybe he was the real Mindcaster. Not her.
Her tall boots held their steel rings on the ankles, her neck a steel choker and her wrists steel arm guards that almost went up to her elbows. Under that was a black “Under Armour” shirt, it’s long sleeves keeping the cold metal off her skin. Lee had made them for her and she constantly renamed them. Tonight the guards were named, “Xerophthalmic” and “Sequestrating”. Her backpack was full of weapons to use and of course a complete first aid kit. To acquire her Riding Instructor Certification she’d had to take a first aid and CPR class. Worst week of her life, but she was glad for the knowledge. She’d stitched up Lee enough times after failed attempts at communicating with Darklings. Stupid man.
Still she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was bound to go wrong tonight.
Doing a mental roll call in her head she took stock of all the Cafe’s attendees. Danielle was obviously here. Lee was here, Ved, Abel and Echo were here as well. Tyler had yet to show his face and if this was any indication as to what kind of worker he was Aslynne wasn’t sure if she wanted to hire him. Hopefully, he’d find a way to reconcile his work ethics to her later on. Twirling a bracelet around her wrist she quickly grew bored and her head began to pound. Dropping her head to her hand she let out a pained huff.
“Lee, where is the damn newbie? Didn’t you tell him to be here?” Aslynne ground out to the Seer. It would be dangerous for Tyler to be out there alone without knowing how to protect himself. Her coffee had gone cold beside her it’s caffeine not enough tonight. She could almost feel the Darklings waking up at this point, but that wasn’t possible. Midnight woke in an instant... not gradual like Normal Time. Though she could taste the dusty, chalky and bitter minds of the Darklings they did not stir. Frozen like Daylighters in the Secret Hour.
A darker part of her mind spoke up and she wondered if there was a way to join them; frozen for twenty-four out of twenty-five hours of the day. Oh what sweet relief she’d have.
Aslynne again took the scroll and sighed. “Look, Lee. I’m glad you want to help, really.
