On reserving at sirenspull | Canon is Alan Wake

[bestseller]

Thanks.

No really. Throw me into another hellish nightmare where more things from the dark are going to constantly stalk me. I know you wanted another game, especially with horror themes, but don't you think I've gone through enough?

No, of course not.

And sure, go right ahead and try finding someone to play my doppleganger. Like he wasn't trouble enough for me.

There are things stalking in the dark wherever people go. They are drawn to you.

[bestseller]

I know. And I'm trying to prevent that. But I can't when I keep getting thrown back into similar situations.

[gold_wolf]

They enjoy doing that. Your mun must have faith that you'll be able to take on the challenge.

[bestseller]

I don't doubt she has faith in me. But I also know she enjoys watching characters suffer a little too much.

Actually sounds like a lot of what writer's do, myself included, but when it's your life they're messing with, it isn't as fun.

[gold_wolf]

You enjoy watching suffering?

Whether it's a game or not, there are always dangers we have to face.

[bestseller]

Me? No. I mean, I've written it, yeah, but only when the scene actually calls for it.

So, I might just be a little sadistic when it comes to my stories, but I don't wish it upon anyone. For the most part.

And tell me about it. I've faced enough dangers. Still not out of the water yet unfortunately.

[gold_wolf]

Oh. [He says that as if he just realized Alan was talking about fiction writing. It's hard to pick up these things.]

You've already dealt with monsters? Then they should pick a nicer place. One not as dangerous.

[bestseller]

Dealt with all sorts of monsters. Monsters in New York, monsters in Bright Falls. But the latter is not your typical fellow human being.

I tried telling her, but the nicer game settings just aren't her thing.

[gold_wolf]

You mean real monsters. Demons.

Maybe she likes the challenge... Or she thinks you'll be a good match for it.

[bestseller]

Demons. Yeah, pretty much. Calls itself the Dark Presence actually. Likes to entrap people into its grasps and turn them into shells of themselves.

I'm being assured that's the sole reason why I was sent over there; she likes that it deals with monsters and darkness. I'm so used to fending for my life, and the safety of those I care for, I don't think it's going to be ending any time soon.

[gold_wolf]

That is like Horrors. They eat humans and turn what remains into part of them.

So you can fight it? The Dark Presence.

[bestseller]

Sounds eerily similar.

I'm fighting it, yes. It doesn't like the light.

[gold_wolf]

Since Horrors feed on human darkness there might be something like that as long as there are humans.

But if you can fight it, it can be defeated.

[nyctophobic]

We've never gone through enough to them. [Mundanes, she means. They're a little on the sadistic side]

[bestseller]

[Alice! *wibble* D:]

No, we haven't. They keep pushing us until one day we'll crack.

[nyctophobic]

[Alice bows her head slightly, a half nod in agreement. They aren't always so terrible, but when they are...]

Will you be all right? [She's so worried about him, and it shows.]

[bestseller]

Yes. [He'd go through Hell for her; and although not literally, the Dark Place was close enough.

As long as you're safe.
