Dark Day March 7th 7:01 a.m. 2001
...you are running through an alley. Fear instills itself in your every move, fear, anger, joy, sadness, all controlling your actions at the moment. You run through the alley being chased by loved ones, monsters, your friends and family, and you are no longer what you were. You turn down the corner your breath is hot in the cold air. Cold in march...it doesn't make sense it is supposed to be spring but its cold like the night. The night its the middle of the day things are insane, nothing is right, you saw on the news this morning an anchorman jump from the building...that was before you changed into this monster....
March 7th, 7:01 a.m. 2002 You wake up, sweating...

Pavao begins to reflect on his last year, but decides that it's probably not such a good day and decides to just prepare himself for the day, popping in a mix tape into his little boom-box by his bedside.

After washing her face thoroughly of such frightful sweat, Clarice went through her usual morning routine of pulling her hair into a looped braid to the side, deep in though of remember the very date, shivering as if the year before was repeating itself, though she hummed softly to try and distract herself.

Lucien breaks out in a cold sweat. Having just finished reading Bram Stoker again, he was accustomed to bizarre dreams, but his familiarity with the material ironically disarmed the horror, much like a vampire whose sucking sound is accompanied by the dinging of a cash register. This was the first actual nightmare he had had in some time. He stared about his room: Dark for now, but soon it would be bathed in florescent and natural light. He always liked the light, quite literally, and had never understood why. He stared at the half-eaten fried chicken and arugula salad from last night and cursed having drank more sangria than he expected. He was an early riser, and always regretted late parties. He finished the chicken and salad, wanting to get some food in his belly to quell the rising sick feeling, then began to get dressed for the day. Most people hated Mondays, but he hated Wednesdays. Exactly at the midpoint of the week.
OOG: For everyone's reference, March 7, 2001 was a Wednesday.

You put on the tape of music next to your bed and it plays, you feel calming coming over you as the music enters your head it clears you of all the fears, and nightmares. Its about 7:30 and you realize you should get down and start the opening of your shop your sure that your part time worker is gonna be here any minute. Its wednesday and the orders should be in sometime today. ______________________________________________

The rhythmatic motions of the brush strokes and and your humming calm you down, you continue brushing and come out of your daze and the soap on your countertop was hovering once you come back to the realization of what happened it drops with a clatter. Soap spuds from the water drip down the size of the raised sink. Your bathroom is pretty small it has a shower/bath and a toilet, there is also a bathroom closet full of clean towels. Your TV is also turned on and over the sound of the water you hear
"...What scientists called Dark Day, we have expert on this anomoly Dr. Klindol. Dr. Kilidol welcome to the show." Says a female news anchor Susan Hath.
"Why Thank you"
"So what do you think may have cause this 'Dark Day' doctor?"
The doctor goes into detail about what may have happened as the news anchor nods her head dumbly and makes witty comments occasionally.
You have heard a few things in your supernatural research about some of the theories the doctor provided and you are wondering if the book you ordered from the small bookstore a few blocks away is in.

You sit on the edge of your bed in your small chicago apartment, the horrors of what happened that night/day in the back of your mind. Finishing up your take out meal you grudgingly get up and start to get dressed, Today is a day off from the hospital, but the rest of this week looks busy. What luck that your day off is on your most dreaded day of the week. You do remember something that made your day last wednesday was a bookstore down the street. It had the look of a small curio shop and was filled with books of the occult and what not.

Lucien is a big man, and when he wakes up like this, he wants a hearty breakfast. He goes to his local diner first, planning to check out that bookstore later.

As soon as Clarice remembers the book, she gets dressed while still listening half-heartedly to the television. As she slips on her DocMartens and her jacket as her final pieces of clothing, she turns the TV off and heads outside while grabbing an uncooked bagel, shoving it into her mouth hastily. She locks her door and seems to brace herself with a smooth breath before heading to the bookstore as quickly as possible, nibbling on her small breakfast.

While the music is relieving some of his tension, Pavao gets dressed in a mildly formal fashion and grabs a glass of orange juice and heads downstairs to get the shop ready.

Pavao finishes getting ready for the morning. He heads down and sees a fedex box for his new orders its 7:31 am.
He comes downstairs and around him are bookshelves strewn with books from how to talk to a ghost to advanced deamon summoning 3 sure most of them are full of crap but some of them seem realistic. Either way you have found some solace here after the events from dark day.
Stepping out into the back the fedex driver is waiting he smiles at you and hands a clipboard and a pen to you.
"If you could just sign here that would be appreciated"

Clarice finishes breakfast and heads out the door of her small apartment.
She sees the stairwell leading down and the elevator as two possible means of getting down. ____________________________________

Finishing the leftovers Lucien puts on a jacket and heads out into the hall.
Living on the seventh floor of an apartment building can be a hastle at times especially when you are on call at the hospital. You see the stairwell leading down and an elevator as well. There is a small cafe a few blocks down the street.

She decides to take the stairwell--much more comfortable with controlling her own way down rather than a machine.

Lucien knows that a good way to purge alcohol from the system and generally improve one's sense of place is to walk. He goes downstairs, limber and muscular legs propelling him three steps at a time down the stairwell. Meanwhile, he tries to quell this foreboding sense of destruction traversing merrily down his spine...

Deciding to take the stairs, you make your way, it goes in a spiral fashion around the elevator. after making it down about 1 flight you hear loud footsteps behind you that seem to be moving quite fast. Its only a matter of time before they get to you....
(roll a d20 if you have one roll it otherwise use an online roller) ___________________________________________
Fred
Lucien is moving quickly down the stairs he hasn't lived here long but he is able to move quickly up and down the stairs at about the same rate as the elevator. You quickly make it down to floor four and you see a young girl.

It looks like its this months shipments for the store. One book in particular you were waiting for. Its an older book written in your native language of all the myths legends and supernatural occurences that occured as real life to the author , Yusan Ihl, he was stoned to death after releasing the book, but some of the encounters sound quite realistic and after what has happened since dark day, you wouldn't be suprised if it were true.

A fairly natural panic took hold of Clarice, and she turned her head, then body, around as she gracefully shifted herself futher to the side to avoid any sort of collision. Her eyes appeared rather cautious as she slowed in her walking, wondering who, or even, what it was. ----- JIC: 18 JIC: 15 JIC %: 81 invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=846508

JIC: 15 JIC: 6 JIC %: 45 and if you use invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py you can get all the online rolls there and you would just put the link under the roll Example____________________________________________________ John walks into the room ready for anything.

After the initial shock you see another tenant of the apartment complex, a large man with a deep brown/ginger skin tone. He strides down the stairs like a giant of a man.

OOG the girl is going down the flight of stairs and is near the bottom of the fourth floor and the top of the third.
Lucien is striding down the stairs and sees the girl she appears to be a 17 year old girl. She seems shocked and then it goes back to an observant calm.

For bookkeeping purposes, Pavao looks through the books and tries to decide where they will end up in his store. But he keeps the Yusan Ihl book to read later, placing it behind the front counter in a drawer. He then finishes opening the shop and looks outside to see what kind of day it will be. JIC Rolls: 1d20=19, 1d20=7, 1d100=56

You look outside its close to 8 a.m. The day is an ominous cloudy day, on the verge of pouring rain. You see a few cars driving by heading towards work, but your neighborhood doesn't have much traffic so everything appears to be normal.

Lucien waves back to the girl. He gets a feeling he should talk to her, but wonders what he shares with the person. "Hi! How's your day so far?" D20 - 8 D20 - 1 D100 - 40 invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=857053

Lucien doesn't know how old this girl is, so he tries to speak in euphemisms. "I had a... bit of a bad night. But this day is looking pretty groovy so far, funky-good style."

Blinking at his odd use of words, Clarice laughs a little with a graceful smile before nodding in agreement. "The night was similar for me. I did not sleep very well. But, today seems rather...historical, I guess I would say. For me, at least."
