[First thing's first, the journal is picking up a lot of low murmuring-- about ten minutes' worth of it, in fact. It's not loud enough to be intelligible, but for those that know his voice, it's all coming from Pitch-- which means he's either having a lengthy conversation with himself, or he's talking to something that can't (or won't) talk back.

Soon after that, he comes over and starts talking into it on purpose. He's been here for nearly a week now, and he's decided it's high time for a proper introduction. He's also reveling in the fact that so many people will actually be able to hear him. So awesome.]

To those in the castle that I haven't yet met, I would like to sincerely thank you for the show you put on the night of my arrival five days ago, and for the nights of nightmares you've given me since. They were such thoughtful welcoming gifts, and I can already tell that we're going to get along wonderfully.

My name is Pitch Black. Many call me the Boogeyman. I would be happy to translate that into your preferred language, though we all seem to be speaking the same thing here. I haven't been able to crack many of the secrets of this place, and as far as I can tell, none of you have, either-- but no matter. I've been brought to a castle of believers, and for now, I'm not going to complain.

Don't keep your fears to yourself, now. Or rather, do, if you'd like. It won't matter to me-- either way, I'll be feeding on them.

[Journal closed.

He can also be found in the library of Pietas Tower: wandering around, looking through the shelves, or even just sitting quietly and reading. People who can't see him might be surprised at the floating books, though.]

Vriska

You have been less than comprehensive in your explanations of this place.

That said, I appreciate the complications involved, particularly for someone who's been here for so long. I'm willing to hold up my end of the deal if you continue to contact me when you think of new things that I should know.

[OOC: Info on what sorts of characters will be able to see/sense him off-journal!]

Comments

[lucre]

[ To think that now he volunteers his name so easily. ]

Shall it be pitch or shall it be black?

[fearbringer]

Either is acceptable. They're both parts of my name, after all.

[lucre]

But you must prefer one over the other.

[fearbringer]

Most call me Pitch.

[dictated]

[rapscalliongirl]

Feed on them? If you do, I'll go on a hunt, Spirit-man.

[dictated]

[fearbringer]

I'm sure I can take you.

[dictated]

[rapscalliongirl]

Oh are you?

[dictated]

[fearbringer]

Of course.

But the real question is, do you really think you have the right to attack me for simply doing what I exist to do?

[defyingfrigidity]

You... feed off of fear?

[.... Well then. This isn't good.]

[fearbringer]

That's right.

[defyingfrigidity]

So you're some sort of spirit.

[She had tried keeping away from stories of spirits like that when she was a child, but when she was alone, without anyone to suggest the more tame stories in their library... well. Let's just say that Elsa's accidentally kept herself up more than a few nights thinking about the very things this man claims to be.]

[fearbringer]

So far, you're the first person to understand that right away. Color me impressed.

The Boogeyman

[thiefoflight]

There is a lot to know about this place! That's like asking "what should I know about Earth"!

Vriska

[fearbringer]

Hence my appreciation of the circumstances.

The Boogeyman

[thiefoflight]

Ugh! What else do you want to know?

Vriska

[fearbringer]

I don't know. I'm the new one.

I overheard that the more you wish, the higher your chances are of having something unpleasant done to you by the castle. True?

[lord_wizard]

[Well, guess who doesn't remember you?]

I think...sir...that putting yourself in a similar league as the castle is hardly a good way to make any friends.

[fearbringer]

But in some ways I am in a similar league, aren't I? I can't help that.

[lord_wizard]

Can't you? Is this a compulsion that can be ignored, or an actual need?

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

[In a rather bored yet judging tone:]

You don't do subtlety, do you?

Dictated

[fearbringer]

Not with this.

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

Oh, good. That'll makes my work a bit easier.

Dictated;

[putuporshutup]

[The Boogeyman himself, huh? No shit. Despite the petite twenty-something she's possessing, she's a pretty damn old demon. And yet, there really still is a first time for everything.]

Boy, you're gonna have lots of fun here, huh?

Dictated;

[fearbringer]

Oh, I already am. That last little spectacle, with the sleepwalkers? It was a grand introduction.

Dictated;

[putuporshutup]

I suppose that would be for you, wouldn't it? Nice timing.
