Sachio Sugiyama - Option 1After looking at the stars for a bit, Sachio absent-mindlessly looked at his phone and realized that he had quite a few text from Eunkyung! He panicked for a bit, wondering if he had missed something, and realized that he had had his phone on silent. He cursed to himself silently before getting up and looking around for her and her friend whom she had mentioned was coming in the texts. After wandering around for a bit, he spotted her with another guy, and a slight bit of jealousy flared up before he was able to calm it down, knowing that she wasn't that kind of person. He quickly went over to the two of them. "Eunkyung! Sorry I didn't get your texts! My phone was on silent somehow!" He looked over and nodded at Arian. "Sorry, would have joined you guys earlier. I'm Sachio." He said, introducing himself to the other male. He sat down and was setting up his "telescope" when suddenly the both of them seemed to have been startled by something. He was about to ask, but took a quick look through his telescope to see what they were looking at, and also noticed the eye! He quickly threw the telescope a few feet away, and managed to only curse under his breath instead of yelling it out loud. "What the-?!"

Myles Fischer
Being out late wasn't uncommon for Myles, though usually he had the benefit of being powered up and doing something like protecting the world. A dangerous past time, but stargazing? With a group of people? Even Jeremy hadn't been able to fuss about him. Too much.
Naturally, Myles wasn't very involved in the scientific side of stargazing, but it was beautiful, regardless, and when he'd heard that he could see the stars up close?
Of course he'd wanted to.
...But, mixed with being up nearly all night last night, and all day today, it might not have been the best idea to try and stay up again late tonight.
He'd been enamored with the stars, but with the darkness and comfortable temperature of the evening, he'd been nodding off after less than twenty minutes. He shook his head after jerking awake after the third or fourth time of dozing off and tried to focus his eyes more intently on the stars in the sky. Only--instead of a shimmering light, there was an eye.
He blinked once, twice, and then--with a horrified yelp--recoiled so quickly that his flailing limbs knocked the telescope away from him.

While she was reaching for a cookie, from the very full tin, she smiled softly. "I'm glad it is popular though - it is a lovely event. It reminds me of the festivals back home that we'd have." And being reminded of home, in such a way, was nice...it was soothing and though it made her want to visit Korea it also made her feel more at home here.
"You brought more than a few cookies." She managed to observe while nibbling on one, She had looked over and seen Arian freeze up just as Sachio was turning up. Cookie still being nibbled upon, and making a crumb mess.
"It's ok, I figured something like that had happened. You aren't the sort to ignore you'r phone." Holding out a hand she watched Sachio set things up...and then throw his telescope away from him.
"So....I wasn't the only one then?" She asked looking at both males she was seated with. "I-I don't like that...you both know what I mean." Looking from one to the other. She shifted towards Arian and held a hand out towards Sachio, beckoning him closer to them both. "Just in case anything happens." She wanted to be closer to them both, to keep the three of them as close as possible. "This city....it's not so safe." She whispered to them both, though she also offered Sachio a cookie as she said this.

Result 1The being staring at you giggles, the sound of distant chiming. Whatever they are, they seem amused by your reaction. At least they aren’t angry with you. (2 Points) Result 2Just like in that dinosaur movie you used to watch as a kid, you stare at the being, and they stare right back at you. Nothing happens and you finally bring your telescope away from your eye to find out what happened. (1 Point) Result 3Clearly unused to such treatment, the being leaves the viewfinder of your telescope with a delicate humph. Suddenly, she strikes back, but not with anything physical. It’s like in the cartoons when a character has their head slammed between cymbals. You can literally feel the ringing inside of your head and it takes a long moment for the feeling to go away. (0 Points)

Whatever their reaction, the being seems to have returned to their original state of calm. Now that you are able to get a good look at them, they appear to be a person dressed in a long white tunic, but that’s all that is familiar about them. Just like their eyes, everything about them is constantly shifting in pearlescent colors. Not only that but their hair and clothing is… billowing. Like they would if the being was underwater. You look around and no one seems to notice what is happening to you. Did you actually fall asleep? No time to find out. The being reaches out for you and upon touching, you are struck with the sickening feeling of being shot upwards at an alarming rate. This feeling continues for several agonizing seconds before suddenly abating. Looking around you realize something very alarming. You’re in space. Option 1Fear and alarm mingle in your throat and result in a scream. It tears out of you and wracks your whole body. Option 2For whatever reason, you decide to make a run for home. Or rather, a dive. Nevermind that you may still feel sick from getting up here in the first place. Option 3Blindly, you reach out for the being who brought you out here and wrap yourself around them as much as you possibly can. Quote: Chose one option as your answer! Please be sure to post the number at the top of your post along with your point total. PLEASE NOTE: From here on out you are on your own! No matter who you came with or who is around you, you are no longer able to interact with them. It's just you and your guide! REMINDER: Please only post once between prompts. This is to prevent any conflicts with your character actions and any story elements that players are not yet aware of. Thank you!

Liliane Benson
Option: 3
Total Points: 1
"All right did anyone -" She'd pulled herself away from her telescope, if only to confirm that she wasn't suffering from some weird 'beyond the veil' encounter. She had hoped that others around her would have experienced the same thing, seen the same thing, but the moment she had withdrawn her gaze from her scope than they had fixed on whatever the entity was. To say that she didn't quite no what she was looking at was an understatement and the curiosity as to whether or not others had experienced the same thing, or were now seeing the same thing was lost to the back of her mind.
Even the sound of another offering cookies nearby wasn't enough to disturb her as her lips parted and she continued to stare unabashedly.
Nevertheless if she had at least attempted to confirm what she was now seeing she would have never gotten the answer anyway. The being had swept forward, grasped her and she was now careening upwards at an alarming rate - had she been capable she would have screamed but on this occasion instincts guided her to simply cling to whatever or whoever it was had taken hold of her.
Screw that, if they were going to grab her without permission and lift her thousands of feet into the air then she wasn't about to bloody well let them drop her too!
...Except by the time she had come to a very abrupt halt she found herself in an area that should have been just a touch familiar, at least since her fabled encounter with Faustite. For the second time in so many weeks, she looked like she was in space.
What kind of weird trip was she having, had she eaten something weird at one of the stands lately? litian She's gonna steal a cookie if she manages to get herself back safely from her weird trip, just be forewarned. xP

Nataniel Khellasati
(Option 3)
Point Total: 1
The eye, peculiar and unnatural color though it may be, did not seem as though it would let him resume his normally scheduled activities. Nataniel's sigh was soft as he removed the scope from his eye and sat up. What a bother... He wasn't much for being disturbed when it could otherwise be a relatively peaceful night, but neither did he expect strangers to care about his whims. Still, the person- girl, he presumed- might have had a little more manners.
Perhaps people who wandered through fields in opalesque regalia simply didn't have the same reservations someone like Nataniel might have. His suspicions were confirmed as fingers reached for him, and Nat's immediate impulse was to twitch away.
To no avail.
She made contact with him, and without any further warning, Nat's stomach promptly felt as though it rocketed up into his throat, which was what he imagined being on a roller coaster must feel like. Ugh, he'd never been one to partake in anything that... eventful. His eyes clenched shut. Fortunately, the discomfort was fleeting, if dizzying, and he raised a hand to pinch at the bridge of his nose, as if that would speed along the process of righting himself.
"Listen." Nataniel turned to the being, and had half a mind to chastise her for whatever this inexplicable nonsense was, but as he opened his eyes, the periphery of his attention managed to be derailed because he was certainly not on solid ground. And on little more than impulse, his arms snatched out to grab at hers.

Choosing Option: 3
As Noelle was about to drift off to dreamland when she tried to snap herself out of her sleepiness. “Ah come on, I can’t give up now. I did rent that telescope after all.” She sat back up and decided one more time to attempt to peer through it. After staring for awhile, she blinked a few times. Wait, ...what was that? Something was staring back at her. In Noelle’s sleepy state, she was unfazed. She simply stared back in slight confusion. But when she backed away from the telescope and looked up, she saw a figure standing there! They shimmered like a pearl, and their clothes billowed around them almost as if they were underwater.
Noelle quickly looked around to see if anyone else was seeing this, but it seemed no one else had noticed. Just then, the figure reached out towards her, and suddenly it felt as though she was shooting upwards into the sky!
Ugh, she felt sick. She held onto her stomach and grimaced. But once the feeling stopped, Noelle looked around and realized something; she was in space! She began to panic, and immediately latched onto the mysterious figure. She was afraid she would fall back to earth otherwise. She clung to them with all her might in hopes that she would be safe.

Nimue Clery
Total Points: 1
Option: 3
The staring contest continued for a few moments more before Nimue finally lowered the telescope from her eye. And now, instead of just a color-shifting eye, she was faced with a whole color-shifting person! And while the pearlescent and billowing effects were quite pretty, the fact that only Nimue herself seemed to be able to see them was more than a little alarming.
Maybe she really was dreaming. But if that was the case, the inside of her head was a great deal more ******** up than she'd ever have believed.
As she was turning her attention back to whoever or whatever it was facing her, Nimue saw the being reaching out and before she could scramble backwards to escape, felt it's fingers on her for a split second before her body was racked with extreme nausea as she felt herself moving up at a speed that she was pretty sure was barely safe even for those inside of a space shuttle. As she felt herself moving, she felt as if her skin and muscle would be stripped from her bones from the sheer force of her ascent. When she stopped, she wasn't sure if she really wanted to be alive in that moment. She hurt and the overwhelming nausea made her long for a toilet to hug.
But at least she wasn't moving. Eyes closing in momentary relief, they re-opened and she let out a shriek. She was in space. She was floating out in ******** space. And this visit was nothing like visiting her wonder where she didn't have to worry about air or gravity or floating around randomly. This was goddamned endless void type space.
With another wail, she flailed, reaching out blindly to find the being who'd brought her here. She felt the edge of that white tunic and latched on, twining so tightly around the being that only the jaws of life could remove her.

Arian LaithChoice: Option 3Points: 1Arian, hadn't really expected to be followed by the woman that he'd almost stumbled over, but at the sound of her voice he belatedly realised that he recognised the other– And couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed about the fact that he had almost trampled both her and the cat that seemed to be staring at him with an unimpressed look - well at least it appeared to be doing so to Arian - and not that he could blame it, not given the circumstances. "I really am sorry about that Evren" he said quietly, "And yes it would be lovely to catch up again at some point - I know that Liryn would be happy to as well." She had returned back to where she'd been sitting - well at least Arian was kind of assuming that she had - and he had continued onwards until he'd reached Eunkyung. His lips had quirked up in a small but rueful smile at her comment about the cookies, admitting "I guess, although they were only a few of the overall amount baked" before widening slightly at her comment about the event being lovely. "It is nice" he agreed, "It's peaceful," the smile still on his face as a male approached and introduced himself as Sachio. "Good evening" his quiet voice was friendly, "It's nice to meet you. I'm Arian, Arian Laith." Of course the strange 'eye' hadn't been quite so lovely, startled shock eventually wearing off enough for him to manage to bring the telescope away from his eye– Only to end up almost dropping it as he found himself confronted with well, a.. A being of some sorts, one that as with the strange that had stared at him through the lens of the telescope, seemed to shift in pearlescent colours, hair and clothing billowing. None of the others close to where he was seemed to have noticed said being and Arian started to turn towards Eunkyung and Sachio in the hopes that the two of them could see the strange being and he wasn't well, having some sort of strange and incredibly real-seeming lucid dream or something– Only the being was faster, the thing's hand landing on him, followed by the lurching and sickening feeling of being shot upwards at speed. He thought he saw a glimpse of red as he shot upwards, ( Liliane), although he was going so fast that it was possible that he was mistaken– And it was started instinct that had him reaching for the strange being, Arian totally not wanting to be dropped.

Evren Porter
Option: 3
Total Points: 1
With a quick turn of her head, Evren realized she was no longer in the space she once occupied... as she was quite literally in space. She wondered if she should be more surprised. She didn't know what to do about the person in front of her but the best thing that she could grab on tight because moving forward was usually the only way to handle these kinds of situations.

Sachio Sugiyama - Option 2Sachio scooted closer to Eunkyung, wanting to be with her and her friend in case anything happened. He could only barely acknowledge that Arian had introduced himself, before the eye seemed to be... attached to some sort of being? He didn't know, but he didn't like this, and at the moment he stood up, ready in case he needed to power up for some reason. After all, the Negaverse could do this too, right? Suddenly though, the being touched him and he was shot straight up! It reminded him of that Daedric quest in Skyrim, but now was not the time to be thinking about video games! He wasn't going to stay here though! He needed to get back onto the ground! And with all the he could, he took a dive for it, hoping that he wouldn't hit the ground head first and managed to break his neck somehow!

Result 1Though you are shocked to find that you make no sound, the being next to you recoils and covers their ears. When you finally stop “screaming” they glare at you, unimpressed. (0 Points) Result 2You only make it a few feet before the being grabs your ankle and hauls you back up. When you face them, however, they are smiling, clearly amused by your actions. (2 Points) Result 3The being isn’t exactly annoyed but the sudden grabbing, but they clearly aren’t thrilled by it either. Suddenly, they are gone from your grasp and have reappeared somewhere else, far from arm’s reach. (1 Point)
