[Like most others, Dominic hasn't had much sleep in the past few days. He's a bit refreshed now that he's finally gotten some rest, but there's still something that bugs him.

Creatures of shadow, can't be killed, a cold air, attacking mentally as well as physically--Dominic's never seen the Noctaere before, but he still remembers Cornelia's description of them.]

For those who have seen them before:

Those creatures... Were they the Noctaere?

[Filtered to Anemone]

Are you all right? I'm sorry I wasn't able to find you.

[Do you have any idea how long he was searching, sob? Stupid PA and its public broadcasts that would've allowed Vincent to hear him.]

Yes, they certainly were.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... I see. Thank you, then.

[carrying-hope.livejournal.com]

...the what?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

The Noctaere. According to others, they've appeared here before. And, so claims the documents in the Dreamberries, they seem to have played a part in this world's history.

[hypnoun.livejournal.com]

N-Noctaere...?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[Oh shoot, timid civilian girl.]

Ah... yes.

[hypnoun.livejournal.com]

...I-Is that the n-name of those t-things we s-saw?

[scholastical.livejournal.com]

Noctaere?

Noct, as in night...Hm.

Those creatures we saw have been seen before?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[He nods]

Yes. Also, if you check the documents in the Dreamberries, it seems that the previous residents of this world had encountered them as well.

[scholastical.livejournal.com]

[He nods, slowly.]

I see. I shall have to look over those.

These creatures appear to be quite the danger, and yet...The connection between darkness and nightmares here simply cannot be coincidental.

Do you, perhaps, know why these Dreamberrys record dreams?

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

I heard about them. But I've also heard that they were a little more substantial than this.

How real was that?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Then again, in this world, it's difficult to tell what's real or not.

Either way, someone's confirmed for me that they were, in fact, the Noctaere.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

Those things just keep on cropping up. Were you here for the first invasion?

[boat-lights.livejournal.com]

It does depend. Were they real?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[Instinctive glare]

... In any case, I've received confirmation that the creatures we saw, real or not were the Noctaere.

[boat-lights.livejournal.com]

[A smile.]

Aren't you helpful.

[chose-death.livejournal.com]

They did fit the reported descriptions.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[Nod]

I thought so.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Noct-air?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[... How does he explain this to an innocent child?]

... Yes.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Those monsters... were... they the Noct-air?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

*Deliberately calls after he thinks this guy's had some time to get some answers.*

So, were they Noctaere?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

They were.

[buymeacake.livejournal.com]

Dominic! [Screams she was so worried] Yes, I-I'm fine. It's alright, I made some new friends.

Is everything back to normal? [For a given value of normal, obviously.] That was... It was really scary.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

... Yes. Everything's back to normal now, so don't worry, Anemone. [Aside from the fact that everything has also just gone to hell again, because Vincent knows who she is.]
