Who: heroes
When: day 30, midnight to dawn
Where: the train

[At precisely midnight a clock bell tolls, loud and mournful in the quiet night. An owl screeches, the dramatic chords of an organ start to play then are cut short in a jangle of notes.

If you're awake a hoarse voice growls, it might wake you even if you're asleep.]

Arise, heroes, and sate your hunger.

[Those not sleeping through all this will find a sudden spike in their primal urges. The needs of any form they possess may overcome reason, and the desire to slake thirsts both literal and metaphorical is intense.

If you're a wolf perhaps you want to hunt or draw close to your pack, if your taste is in blood, well. If you're just human it might be that your darker desires, possessiveness or even curiosity get the better of you in ways you don't normally let them. Desires need not be violent or sexually charged, but should be things your characters harbor at least some inclination towards wanting even if they deny it usually. Fluffy desires are still desires.

By morning light the effects will fade. And you'll all feel far less tired than you'd expect for a night partying.]

The reason you don't get to be cool.

[ He slings an arm over Rean's shoulders. ]

[He grumbles!]

Think you can sleep now?

[ That's real cute. ]

Yeah, I'm feeling less restless now. It's probably bedtime for all good Crows.

Are you a good Crow?

[ No. ]

I'll let you decide that one for yourself.

Yeaah. I think I know the answer to that one.

Well, regardless, if you can sleep than I'll say good night.

[ If it's "no" then you're already smarter than Naeva. He doesn't say that out loud, though. ]

I'll be able to sleep. I'm sure I'll have sweet dreams now~

I don't know where you get all that energy...

[As if Rean ever gets tired naturally.]

Says the guy who doesn't need sleep at all. What are you gonna do for now?

Hm. Not sure. Read or practice maybe.

You ever get bored with all that time on your hands?

[ Or lonely, he doesn't ask. ]

Nah. There's always something I can do. Frankly it's nice having extra time.

[He does sometimes get lonely though.]

Yeah.... I can definitely see that. If I could give up sleep, I probably would.

I don't recommend it as a human though. Go to bed.

Yeah yeah, I didn't think so. Good night, Rean.

[ He walks towards the Licorice car. ]

Good night, Crow.

[He'll watch Crow until Crow's gone and go take a walk himself. To think about things a bit. There's a lot to think about.]

[ Have fun with your thoughts. Crow really will have pleasant dreams. ]
