It started slowly, nearly unnoticed, beyond a passing mention in the news. People die all the time, in their sleep or otherwise. It only started slowly, however. Time passed, as its wont, and more deaths were reported. Age, health, vocation, heritage, there was nearly nothing in common, occasionally someone matching another on one of the categories died, but it seemed more coincidental than a pattern. The only thing linking these desperate people together was that each and every one died in their sleep.
It doesn't take much footwork to discover that there's no obvious signs of trauma, and the weirdness and lack of answers have people talking, one tabloid picks it up and starts running a story about a real life Freddy Krueger. Though the article talks about means and opportunities and new methods of death, only touching briefly upon magic, but doesn't go deep into the actuality and things that haunt the Skein. They can't - they have no clue, but it's enough to get the Lost's mind's whirling.
Those with a passing familiarity with Oneiromancy and the dangers, know that there are things that can hunt, consume and kill, roving dream to dream.
Eventually the whirling of possibility becomes a certainty. More people have died, closer, and closer together. Caffeine sales are through the roof, more and more people are trying not to sleep.
Whoever - whatever this is, thinks it can't be caught, or maybe, maybe it's too well fed to care.
In a quiet room within the Spring Tavern, the Lost gather together to walk the Skien, they needed to discover just who, or what had been seeping into mortal Dreams and killing them. They needed to discover how whomever it was had evaded Changeling scrutiny long enough to wrack up a very notable body count. They need to discover and stop whomever- whatever the culprit is before they take their well fed might to bare against the Freehold, or travel further afield, disappearing into the depths of the Skein, waiting to close it's jaws around the unsuspecting....
Alrighty Folks, new plot!
Now! Onto the Oneiromancy! We are in a Hollow, so y'all need to get to Dreaming. You will need to spend 1 Glamour, and I need an Extended Wits + Composure+ Wyrd + Equipment (things that might help with falling to sleep, that would get +1 to a +3 total depending on what you want to use, if you have questions ask in the OOC).
Since y'all are just going to your own dreams to start with, you will need 8 successes! When you get that please narrate yourself in your own dream!
However you don't need to start with showing up and then dropping off into dreamland, if you want to talk for a few posts and decide a game plan that's okay too!
And Ori I'll allow Sera to use the Plunge for this, since you're going into your own dreams to start with, but if you do it this way it'll be easier for Sera to get knocked out of the dream should something happen.
