[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.

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

Shall it be pitch or shall it be black?

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

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

I'm sure I can take you.

Oh are you?

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?

My race happens to be predators who don't enjoy people screwing them over, so I don't care if you think I have the right or not. If you do shit to me, I do shit to you.

How melodramatic. Feeding off fear that's going to be there anyway is hardly screwing you over.

But it's hardly appreciated, you know.

It never is.

You... feed off of fear?

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

That's right.

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

Hence my appreciation of the circumstances.

Ugh! What else do you want to know?

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?
