⇨ DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS

[ringleaders]

Who: Anyone out in the library.
When: Day 59
Where: The Athenaeum
What: Towards the end of the visit, we are visited by a series of worrisome NPCs, who may or may not be illusions. There will be at least 5 NPC toplevels posted overall, all happening in a similar time period ICly (in rough chronological order), so not everyone needs to be in every thread.
Warnings: Possibility of very real danger to anyone who participates. Remember that Sans has told everyone to travel in groups, so if you aren't, you'll probably get a scolding later.

TURNING THE PAGE↴ As the carnival continues to explore the Athenaeum in the pursuit of more information about the legendary Miracles, the tension is thick with the knowledge that the Summer Court could be in pursuit any day now. On Day 59, a series of threatening encounters will begin manifesting - but are they real, or an illusion?

Steven finds himself getting choked up again, but at least it's in a good way this time. The display of support is much needed, and it makes him emotional to think about people trying to help him despite how dangerous it is. He wibbles a little, appreciatively, before trying to balance himself enough to respond. He nods decisively before going on.

"I... think I am? It was supposed to make it so she couldn't sense me from a distance... and it seemed like it was working. It only stopped working when I walked up to her and got her attention. Normally... she would have been able to feel that I was close, even if she couldn't see me."

He has to pause to think about it.

"...I don't know if it will start working again, if I get away from her."
