[AIM CONVO] The Night People

Ok, rabbit hole #3 for me. Have I become the new HKDL?



wanderinga11en: can you see them?
NightmareTony: who?
wanderinga11en: the night-people
wanderinga11en: can you see them when they come in the darkness?
NightmareTony: once in a while.
wanderinga11en: really? oh thank god
wanderinga11en: I'm not insane
NightmareTony: when one lives where the night is dark and the land is still and the coyotes howl, one can see the night people.
wanderinga11en: yes, the coyotes
wanderinga11en: the coyotes herald the coming
wanderinga11en: you know?
NightmareTony: And what is insane, and who is to measure sanity?
wanderinga11en: you know of the night-people?
NightmareTony: Sanity is only a measure by people setting a bar for their lives.
NightmareTony: I know of some, but not all. There are many night people.
wanderinga11en: they want my help
NightmareTony: What do they want you to do?
wanderinga11en: they want my help
wanderinga11en: they tell me... they tell me how they died
wanderinga11en: and they want my help
NightmareTony: Ah, the night people of the dead. That narrows it down. I do know some night people of the werewolf variety personally, but of the dead, I dont know many.
wanderinga11en: werewolf? werewolfs exist?
NightmareTony: They stay around because they need something. Did they tell you what they need yet?
wanderinga11en: no... they need my help
NightmareTony: But of course werewolves exist. Did you think that the world is merely what we see?
NightmareTony: When the dead need your help, it is to settle affairs from their earthly lives so they can move on.
wanderinga11en: i don't even know them
wanderinga11en: i don't know why they need me
wanderinga11en: but they DO
NightmareTony: They dont know you either, they are merely drawn to your energy and seek help.
wanderinga11en: My name is Alan.
wanderinga11en: And I need your help.
wanderinga11en: http://www.canyouseethem.wetpaint.com
NightmareTony: Ah. I will help. Let me see what can be done.

Ok, and so it begins....

Okay, two things:

1) I have not played ARGs in, well, I guess it's been about a year? So I dunno why I got this. Silly confused PMs.

2) Heh, my brother was on the computer when I got the IM, so the convo's a little... erm... vulgar? I guess I'll edit it a bit.

Oh, and, by the way, Tony - Huckadilly wants to stab you. I guess he doesn't enjoy being a... um... legARGnd? I dunno, I've been away too long.

Just got an email as well

My name is Allen. Almost every night, they come to me. They come to
me
and they whisper things in my ear, but only when the lights are off. I
think they want my help, but I'm so afraid. I don't know what to do.

Can you see them too? Do you know about what lives in the darkness?
Do
you know what's out there?

Please. I need your help. They said it begins soon. What do they
mean?

This PM dude really likes having these IM sessions eh? Never seen this much interacting with players before, especially considering hes only JUST given a link to start snooping on. Cool

EDIT: He cant spell his name one way? Has to use Alan AND Allen?

Okay so I jumped in on this. It was my first time interacting with a character directly. Hopefully I didn't do too badly.

Quote:

Lail0ken: hello alan
wanderinga11en: do you see the night people too?
Lail0ken: I don't, can you show me how to?
Lail0ken: I'd like to help you
wanderinga11en: I'd like that
Lail0ken: how can I help?
wanderinga11en: help me help them
Lail0ken: What do they need help with?
wanderinga11en: i don't know
wanderinga11en: they said a storm is coming
wanderinga11en: i am afraid
wanderinga11en: so afraid
Lail0ken: A storm?
wanderinga11en: yes
Lail0ken: And you are afraid of a storm? A fear of lightning perhaps?
wanderinga11en: i don't think they mean a storm
wanderinga11en: a storm, not a storm
wanderinga11en: they have been coming for months
Lail0ken: And what else do they say to you?
wanderinga11en: they said I'm the only one who can stop the storm
wanderinga11en: and save them
Lail0ken: So these "night people" are still living then?
wanderinga11en: i don't know
wanderinga11en: i don't think so...
wanderinga11en: they aren't living OR dead
Lail0ken: sort of in between? Like a vampire?
wanderinga11en: i don't know
wanderinga11en: i don't think so...
Lail0ken: These night people look just like you and me?
wanderinga11en: they are shadows
wanderinga11en: and movement
wanderinga11en: i think they were never alive
Lail0ken: so more like ghosts?
wanderinga11en: but are something else entirely
Lail0ken: So you see a different one each night? How do you tell the difference between them?
wanderinga11en: they are different
Lail0ken: In shape?
Lail0ken: In voice?
wanderinga11en: in shape, in sound, in emotion...
Lail0ken: okay. They haven't given you any information about how to prevent the storm?
wanderinga11en: no
wanderinga11en: they just said i will know when the time comes
wanderinga11en: i can't live like this
wanderinga11en: i need you to help me.
wanderinga11en: http://www.canyouseethem.wetpaint.com
Lail0ken: I will help you. Be brave you are not alone in this
wanderinga11en signed off at 10:41:39 PM.


I'm a little excited about this. It's cool to be in from the start.


*edit for spelling

Well, as the others above, it started off the same. I tried to read what the other chats were about and try to continue off getting new information. I did my best asking questions to getting somewhere. You can read the rest and find out. I hope this helps. . .
