*ah, I must have missed that. So they would just have to wait a long rest to be able to do any fun stuff again, or cause extreme hysteria :>*
*Think of it like just dumping your Dark Energy onto the ground. Anyone else nearby can pick it up if they want.*
*ah, I see. So would they be able to recollect it later if nobody else does?*

[I think I'm actually going to start with a human, just because I can see Nightmares being the more popular choice on this thread! It'll be taking heavy influence from Okarun from Dandadan, because this thread concept aligns perfectly with that]
It's early evening, and Balios High has been closed for many hours, but that doesn't stop one student, Matthew Lanes, or Thew as he prefers, from pursuing his favourite pastime; internet forum debates [what a nerd, imagine doing something like that lmao, couldn't be me] For the last 2 hours he's been locked in a furious debate on the BOAB online forum with one xX_SlugGutz87_Xx over the existence of the infamous Balios Mall Shopping Cart Ghoul, a mysterious, 6 foot hunched creature covered in thick brown hair, that apparently comes out at dusk and herds lost shopping carts back to their homeland of the mall's parking lot. Thew has been firing counterpoint after counterpoint over why this creature must exist, backed up with multiple eyewitness accounts and data-driven reports, though his opponent is not yet to yield. The conversation was going something like this...
ThewPerNatural_21: Clearly you did not read the linked and cited article from 2 pages earlier! It has been counted and demonstrated that the amount of shopping carts in the Balios Mall lot returns to the same, round 91 each morning! And, what's more, this number is inherently supernatural! 9:10 PM is the average sunset time over the last 200 years on the day of June 20th, and on that day, the solstice alignment occurs over Stonehenge, a historical site which is proven to have multiple links to spirits and the afterlife! This is all part of a wider network, you surely must understand! xX_SlugGutz87_Xx: but y tho bro ThewPerNatural_21:typing...
...when the door to the computer lab was swung open, the stream of light from the corridor flooding the darkened room. A janitor stands in the doorway, looking bemused at the scrawny teen sat at the desk, and mutters 'It's half six son...school ended at 3...don't ya want to go home now?' Thew stares back at him for a few seconds, shoots xX_SlugGutz87_Xx a parting message of 'You spelt 'though' wrong', and grabs his bag, hurriedly passing the curious man at the door without a word, accidentally knocks over the mop and bucket, and then walks the wrong way down the corridor, all before finally leaving the school site. It irritates him that he couldn't prove to such a cretin that supernatural influences do exist, but he's got a plan. Soon, he'll prove it once and for all..
*Absolutely epic, I adore this. I will try and get my character up soon.*
*We still have hope! Will absolutely make a character for this- I have a few good ideas for what to do, and it's gonna be spooky!*
*OMG IS THAT A PFP OF MYLA*

[Thanks, it took me farrr too long, and no joke but I came up with the nickname Thew before I did the ThewPerNatural pun for the username lol, I needed to think of something and then it hit me like a truck lol]
My character goes by the name Alex Highspear when in a human disguise. (He is a nightmare based off of my biggest, and basically only fear.) He is a corrupt cleric, who draws his powers from dark energy. In nightmare form he seems like a shadow humanoid from a distance. As you get closer you can hear the person you love most rejecting you. When you are within 5 feet of him his form appears as a shadow version of your most loved person, refusing to be with you and rejecting you.

Gulpmissile Day on Feb. 15 every year. (Now with Gulp in the world of lurkers.)
The local bar at Balios has recently had some… strange occurrences. Usually, it’s too late for anyone to see it, but it’s obvious something is going on.
just last night, a young man in a brown vest, smoking a lit cigarette stopped by the bar, and bought everyone a round of drinks. Even those who usually didn’t drink that much decided to join in on the fun.
eight hours later, almost nobody had left, several people were blackout drunk, and the man was still there, offering people more and more drinks. And for whatever reason, they rarely refused.
about half of them were passed out by the time the man left, and all the others were just getting up to leaving. One of them, someone who frequented the bar, John Shepard, was also passed out, despite having made a visible effort to avoid drinking too much on previous nights. In the morning, he wasn’t there.
on another note, there is also a spider infestation in an abandoned building near the bar, with an old, faded sign at the front. The old bar. It was closed about 30 years ago.
*Absolutely epic, I adore this. I will try and get my character up soon.*
[Thanks, it took me farrr too long, and no joke but I came up with the nickname Thew before I did the ThewPerNatural pun for the username lol, I needed to think of something and then it hit me like a truck lol]
*I'm thinking the Nightmare King of Balios might want to play some games with Thew, effectively getting him to throw himself under the paranormal bus for the King's entertainment.*
1984AM: What fun! I'd knew you'd find out what was up with those Snallygaster rumors! :3 1984AM: Now, for your next tip, and this one's a doozy...
*we still have hope for my friend the octopus skeleton*
A strange, bubbling sound can be heard from the Balios public pool. Wait, shouldn't it be closed by this time of day? No matter. A miniscule beak pops out from a pipe. It turns in a full circle, then moves to the exit of the pool, squeezing through the fence. Its full shape flickers into being for a second, and the ghostly octopus climbs to the highest point in town. What an interesting new town to explore.
*basically the skeleton of an octopus, but since octopuses are invertebrates, the only skeletal part is its beak. Kinda a manifestation of fear of the unknown and fear of water*

The bartender looks to Alex, and then to the many people slowly waking up, a bit confused as to what happened.
”wild night, I guess.”
Yes I do. I just don’t like quote chains, and quoting typically leads to that.
