Dream Recording + Journal Entry

[It is a dark and stormy night.

Dark clouds hang low over a pleasant looking town. It's raining heavily, the rain not quite coming down in sheets but close enough and there is a promise that the storm could worsen.

Ira wanders the streets of the town, inexplicably lost. Daybreak Town is his home, he knows it, and all he wants is to return to the Clocktower to ride out the rest of the storm. His friends are there, Luxu is there, the Master is there. But every street never seems to bring him closer to home, and every landmark he knows is obscured by the rain.

There's a rumble of thunder and Ira jumps. He's scared and he's never been scared in Daybreak Town. It is a town full of Keyblade Wielders and the Light is strong here. But tonight, it feels like the shadows are closing in. Ira seems them out of the corner of his eye and it's all he can do to pull his cloak around him tighter and carry on.

Until he turns a corner, hoping to find Fountain Square and instead encounter a chirithy. But not the usual Chirithys he knows. This is the Nightmare Version. It blinks at Ira before turning and scurrying up the street. Ira pursues it, his determination to return home briefly forgotten as he follows the creature down streets that grown winding and darker the further he goes.

Again he turns a corner and a monstrous claw lashes out at him and the dream ends abruptly.]


2. Interlude [no interaction]

[Ira wakes with a start, breathing hard and trying to remind himself where he is. While his tree house isn't much, it has started to become familiar. Eventually his breathing slows and he's able to remind himself that it was just a dream. At least until he sees the Nightmare Chirithy standing at the end of his bed, red eyes watching Ira curiously. He can see black, gauzy shadow curling off the creature.

It blinks once more and then jumps up in the air, disappearing in a puff of smoke.]

Could everyone please be on the look out for a Nightmare Chirithy. It's about a foot tall and looks like a round cat standing on it's hind legs. It carries a pouch and wears a cape. This one will be black with red eyes.

I think it came from a dream I just had.

Thank you.

[galactichero]

Of course. Should we attempt to detain it if we come across it, or just alert you?

[iracorn]

It would be best if you could alert me, but stopping it would also help.

Though, they can be hard to catch

[galactichero]

What might be the best way to handle them? Do they have any weaknesses?

[iracorn]

They aren't especially strong in that form, and I don't believe they're very fast.

Though, the nightmare version might have some tricks I'm not aware of.

[whohastimeforthat]

What is it exactly? Is there anything it can do that we should be wary of?

[iracorn]

It's called a Chirithy. Normally they're fairly benign, helpful even. But this version is a Nightmare...it might be causing mischief and the like.

[whohastimeforthat]

Let me rephrase my second question: What are its abilities? Can it manipulate mana, have some form of telekinesis...?

[What potential tricks could it use against others, basically.]

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh dear, that must be sounding like a really scary thing. What should I look out for besides its appearance?

[iracorn]

I guess any actions it might take? I don't really know what it's capable of, which could mean anything.

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh okay then. So it is capable of doing anything? I get it now. I might as well keep an eye on it if ever I come across it.

nightmare WHAT

[That's it, that's the tag.]

[iracorn]

Chirithy.

They're a Spirit. Normally.

[oathkeeper]

no! no, i know who chirithy is! but chirithy isn't a nightmare??

Sender: Roxas

[twilightskey]

A Nightmare Chirithy? What's that?

[iracorn]

Chirithy are a form of spirit, and would aid keyblade wielders in their tasks.

Unfortunately some can be corrupted by Darkness, becoming Nightmares.

[twilightskey]

Huh... I'm not sure if I've ever seen one before. But a friend of mine might have.

If they can be corrupted by Darkness then that's a problem. Especially here.

[diamazing]

Oh! I want to see the cat. Is it cute. Someone told me cats are cute.

[iracorn]

Normally they are, but this version might be dangerous.

[diamazing]

How dangerous?

sender: frisk

[stilljustyou]

A lot of creatures have been appearing lately.

You said Nightmare. Is it dangerous?

[iracorn]

That is a little unsettling to hear.

And truthfully, I don't know. It's more that I fear what it could do

[stilljustyou]

Some of them seem nice.

What could it do...?

Sender: Eizen

[tailsneverfails]

Does this Chirithy have any habits we should look out for if we so happen to find it?

[iracorn]

Given that a normal Chirithy is meant to be helpful, I would assume that this spirit is the opposite, and will likely cause mischief.

They are also curious creatures, so they might get into places they shouldn't be.

[tailsneverfails]

You sound concerned about this creature though... That leads me to believe the mischief it causes isn't on a small scale..?
