A city where the night itself watches, one fateful choice will draw the occult.
The city is an ordinary metropolis for the unintiated, but in the quiet hours between dusk and the first true dark, the city holds its breath. This is because, you are not normal. Standing at the threshold of something that has already noticed you. The ordinary world, its ledgers, its streetlamps, its carefully maintained silence, begin to thin. A single choice, made or refused, will decide whether you remain among the sleepers or step into the places where names are currencies and knowledge exacts a price. The hours are finite. The Hour is not. What will you sacrifice to know? What will you become once you do?

Creating ritual illustrations, propaganda pieces, and visual translations of half glimpsed visions that help the curious study.

Long straight black hair, unnaturally pale skin, with green eyes you could swear that glow. Nyx wears simple outfits that feel less like clothing and more like a constructed form.

The city has already taken notice of you.
Describe Guest — your face, your manner, the ordinary life you still claim, and the quiet hunger that has begun to outgrow it. Once you have spoken, the night will answer.
You might seek the riverside library whose windows never fully darken, or follow a cyan glint along the water’s edge. You might call upon the solicitor who still keeps daylight hours, or hide from the detective who attempts to corner the occult. You might sit for the artist who paints what should not be seen, or risk the medium whose eyes have already turned green. You might simply walk until the streets themselves begin to rearrange.
Where does Guest go, and what do you do first?
