in your closet, in your head.

It all happens in a matter of moments. Your friends, your companions, and even some people you aren't all that fond of; everyone who took so much as a bite of the spirits' feast suddenly collapses into a comatose heap. Which is bad enough already, but the worst, by far, is yet to come.

Before anyone can really figure out what's happened to the sleepers, the woods surrounding the town come alive with sound. Rustling, screeching, clicking, howling, and under it all, the characteristic hoots and whistles of the forest spirit tongue. But these aren't the friendly creatures that set up the banquet in the first place, and they aren't the familiar faces (or masks) from around Beacon. As they begin to emerge, bursting forth from the trees, these spirits reveal themselves as a horrifying army of terrors. And sprinkled among them, distinguishable by the emerald glint in their sockets, are the infamous "green eyes", the dangerous spirits that appeared once before.

Attempting to talk to these spirits is a moot point, made obvious by their immediate assault on anyone they get close to. They attack with claws and teeth, with limbs far stronger than they have any right to be, and the green eyes, as they are wont to do, will try to get into your head. Somehow, they seem to know what it is that scares you most, and they don't seem too hesitant to use it. It's not clear what they want— are they here to eradicate you? To frighten you? To send a message?

Whatever the case, one thing is very clear: you and everyone else, sleeping or waking, are in serious danger. Are you ready to defend Beacon?

[mind_blown]

MK.

[ he doesn't need to go far in his defense of Bruce. This could be a casual interest-- and he hasn't implied any deeper knowledge. At least as far as he knows. He doesn't want to make their relationship blindingly obvious. Not least of which because he wants to stop giving Bruce avenues of inquiry.

Which is easier said than done when it comes to Bruce, and being forced to be in such close proximity to him.

But he knows for sure, Bruce probably doesn't want the reputation of a kidnapper. ]

[equinoctials]

[ When Riku said that depends, he mainly meant that he didn't expect much to come of it if it was most people. He says M.K. and that person was one of the large exceptions to the rule. He doesn't content himself with complaining about something and then does nothing about it.

He might have some explaining to do, if it was just anyone. M.K., however, he's exactly the kind of guy who would do something about it. Riku, surprised, pushes the heel of his palm against his brow, scooping the hair out of his eyes. ]

M.K.? Used the network?

[ He wouldn't believe it, except Jason doesn't seem the kind of guy who would joke about this, especially not when it seems like he's here for Bruce's sake, not out of any concern for him or M.K. - they're not friends, he barely knows Jason. Riku assumes, perhaps inaccurately, that Jason and Bruce are friends and, like Bruce, Jason plays those cards close to his chest out of a similar appreciation for privacy.

He doesn't pry. ]

Thanks for the warning. I'll talk to him and clear this up.
