[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?

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.]

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?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

You mean the one during September?

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

Were there others?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

The Noctaere aside, I've never heard a mention of any other.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

Then I meant the one during September. Answer my question.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Then yes, I was. Why?

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

I want a first person account. It's more accurate that way.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet for a few seconds.]

The barrier came down, though that much is likely obvious. There weren't any Noctaere, just creatures from the desert--sharks, gigantic worms, giant crabs, and spiders, from what I remember.

About a week after, the Overlord destroyed the monsters, repaired everything, and answered some questions of ours.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

[A pause.]

Then you weren't here for any of the real Noctaere happenings.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Why else would I be asking for confirmation?

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

Point. I shouldn't have bothered.

Did anyone actually die, in the end?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

A few people, yes.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

No, I mean during the actual noctaere happenings.

Or were they unable to die, just like what happened this time.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

I was told that there were no known deaths from the noctaere attacks.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

... huh. Can you name someone who's lived for sure through those attacks?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, the person who gave me this information is no longer here. Naomi Hunter was present during the attacks, though. She might be able to answer your question.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

Naomi Hunter. I'll remember that.

... thanks. It's been helpful.

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[He just smiles/smirks lightly]

If you find anything, would you mind telling me?

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

No, I wouldn't. This is an information exchange. I'll hold up to my end of the bargain.

Likewise, right?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

[Nod]

Of course.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

Good.
