[Before Pitch starts addressing the Castle at large he can be heard talking to something a bit further away from the journal.]

Here, girl... that's right, good job. Very good. There's a girl-- Ah!

[And now he notices the open journal.]

If any of you would like to see a real live Nightmare, come to the lobby. She's small, but quite impressive.

[And that's where he'll be, playing with his and Wade's "baby" for the weekend-- a shadowy little foal.

He can't wait until nighttime.]

[OOC: Unless Wade stops him, he'll be taking bb!Nightmare out for some test drives tonight. I'm open for plotting in regards to that, if anyone wants him to give their character nightmares! Also, info on what sorts of characters will be able to see/sense him off-journal!]

[Pitch steps forward.]

Can you see me?

_{[ Vanyel knew fear. But he knew it better than most, perhaps, since he had faced death more than once, even refused the gift of death from a goddess. He knew fear existed, though he had never thought to attribute it to anything, or anyone. It just was.}

He saw a mass of shadow, though nothing entirely concrete. But he understood the mass to be something. ]

I suppose… Are you cloaking yourself with something?

_{[ He had edged closed to Staven, the little centaur looking up at his father worriedly and letting out a tiny bray, clopping over to press against him. ]}

[fearbringer]

No. Your eyes might be cloaking themselves, though.

I am the Boogeyman. We've spoken before, briefly, about clothing.

Re: action;

[peacockherald]

Boogeyman...?

Oh, did you respond when I asked about Yfandes' attire for the wedding?

_{[ He was still unsure, but the shape began to take a bit of a form. Not from the name, but from the idea that he had talked to someone real. ]}

action;

[fearbringer]

That's right-- but I don't think I told you my identity then.

Re: action;

[peacockherald]

No, I don't think you did....

So you call yourself the Boogeyman?

action;

[fearbringer]

It's more that others have called me that. It's one of their many names for me.

I call myself Pitch Black.

Re: action;

[peacockherald]

Pitch Black... rather ominous of you.

action;

[fearbringer]

Thank you.

Re: action;

[peacockherald]

And this little one is yours, I take it.

_{[ He looks at the Nightmare, Staven now hugging Vanyel's leg and trembling against him. ]}

action;

[fearbringer]

It is. And it looks like she's already frightening to yours.

Re: action;

[peacockherald]

No, no, he is just shy.

_{[ Though, okay, the nightmare was a tad creepy even to Vanyel, but he had a feeling he should not show it if he could. He leaned down and picked up the little centaur. ]}

He'll get over it soon, I'm sure.

action;

[fearbringer]

Oh, no. That's fear. I always recognize it.

But don't worry-- it just means that he's smart. As are you.

Re: action;

[peacockherald]

I suppose I shall take that as a kind compliment then.

_{[ Even if it was rather creepy. His son hid his head in his chest and he stroked his hair gently to soothe him. ]}

[fearbringer]

You can take it as the truth of my observations, nothing more.
