*Midnight takes a deep breath.*
*Thinks* How do you explain what you don't even know? How do explain things you see yet don't see? First things first I guess and honest as possible.
*To Mog* Well the reason I ran from the man is because he worries me. I don't want him getting involved. We're in danger as it is bringing him in to this mess will only make things worse. What if he gets hurt because he tried to help us? I don't want that on my mind.
What I "saw" in that "sleep" was memories I think...but I'm not sure. Now they seem like a whisper on the wind. Just gently brushing across my memory. I felt things in the "sleep" but once I woke up the reason I felt what I felt had faded.
*Midnight turns her head away as tears begin to form in her eyes.*
I feel as if I'm banging my head against a brick wall. My memory is fine up til the point where I woke up so many years ago in a village far from here but before that I can't remember a thing.
I guess that's another reason for me to run from the man... hope... maybe he can help me find out who I am.... but what if at the end of it all I'm not who he think's I am.... then I would be even worse off because I would of hoped and dreamed for nothing. They would be lost and me more hopeless than I am now.

what's wrong with hope? what you have there is false hope. you think that nothing will come of it and because of that you have no hope.
what if that man can give you your memories? what if he can give you back your past? he may be closer to you than you think... he may even remember your family...or maybe he is a member of your family..... you have the possibility of maybe going back home....having someone you know, even if you dont know it to be beside you.... to know that your not alone in this dimention.....
my home land is all but lost to me though my memories.....you might at least still have part of yours left.... even if its one of your kind..... maybe he can help us.... help you.... become who you are....

*Midnight get's up and walks to the window and opens it. Feeling the breeze across her face and flowing through her hair she closes her eyes. *Thinks* Who you are...who you are... Who am I?? Midnight, Rhiannon, Rhiannon, Midnight. Either, neither or both? I know Midnight is not my REAL name but.... it's the one I've had for so long that it feels like it. *Thinking about her name Midnight remember's the woman who gave her that name.* *Thinks* Yeah look what hope got me there. Just a load of heartache and a one way trip out of the only place I had 'known'. When I had needed her the most she turned her back on me and been one of the first to throw the stones. *Shrugs and wipes the tears from her eyes.* *Thinks* Well now is not the time to think about that stage in my life. I survived it.....just. *Turns back to Mog* Maybe he can, maybe he can't. After what I've done to him I doubt he'll come looking for us. *Thinks* Who you trying to convince? Mog or yourself? *To Mog* There must be a way of you getting home again. You said you walked through one of the portals and came out here, well there should be a portal somewhere that can take you back. Though it would take god knows how long to find the right one. At least we have our friendship. Then we're never completely alone. *Wanting to know more of Mog's life before she arrived in this relm she asks....* Will you tell me about your home? What's it like?

mu.. my home? well.... my home is very different from here... i think that im a long way from home... a long long way from home...
A few years ago, my home was so pretty, lots of landscape, if you looked towards the horizon, all you could see was hills and trees and the most beautifully blue skies with just an odd little fluffy cloud. I could sit there all day and just watch the night fall....
But serveral months ago, after the sun left the sky, these strange creatures started to appear in the local towns and villages. They would appear from the shadows and scare all the townsfolk. no-one knew where they come from or what they were. They were all black, so creepy, with these horrid yellow eyes... then someone when missing... things began to change.... people stopped coming out of their houses and kept the curtains closed...i couldnt stand it anymore. if i was going to be made a recluse, i wasnt going to do it in fear.... i took my few worldly possessions, and left at the break of day, when the creatures went back to where ever they hide as the day breaks. I stepped out into the light and made a dash for it. i wasnt going to live in fear anymore.
I walked for days - weeks even... and i found this little forest in the middle of nowhere. It was so peaceful and quiet...and inhabbited but just a few little birdies. And there was this huge tree, hollowed out from the centuries of ageing... i had found it, my little haven. All i had to do was clean it up and make it mine...as i cleared the place of branbles, i found this slice of a tree, before i knew what i was doing i had taken a stone and started to carve into the wood's surface. i had found this missing piece of the puzzle. something to make my home. A sign that would let passing travellers know where they were. my home, Mount Mog.
I ventured and explored further and further into the depths of the forest every day. further and further i would go. just exploring, collecting a few berries, come kupo nuts and a few branches for a fire... when i found that without realising i had wandered very deep into the back of the forest.... i noticed that the sun was leaving the sky... i thought i should head back, but i took one last look at the door.... and then from behind me i heard a branch snap.... it gave me such a fright, with it being so quiet. i spun round so quickly that i nearly fell over... and they were here. after excaping them for so long, they had left the boundaries of the towns. Those eyes.... thoses horrible yellow eyes...i..i... i was surrounded...... trapped.... Them on one side... this 'door' on the other. Be taken by them... or go to some unknown place. I didnt have a choice........

Well maybe it was a good thing you came through that portal when you did or who knows what would of happened to you. Even if it seems that you have jumped from the frying pan into the fire but that's my fault for trusting *in a sarcastic tone mimicing Brinkatore* Count Marcus Wolfgang Brinkatore the 3rd.
I am sorry for getting you into this Mog. If only I learnt to keep my mouth shut when I should and trusted your instincts in the first place.
*Walks over to Mog and gives her a gentle hug.then places her back down on the bed.*
Your very brave for someone so small and much more than what you appear. As proved in the Dungeons and Dunnfalls.
*At the mention of Dunnfalls Midnight's mind goes back to the shape-shifter.*
*Thinks* What are the Order and who are the makers he spoke of?? Did I do the right thing??Is he alright??? Don't think of him..he'll be fine. Clear your mind.
*Midnight closes her eyes and takes some deep breaths to relax and clear her mind of the shape-shifter. After a couple of minutes she opens her eyes again and returns her attention to Mog.*
I wonder what the creatures that attacked your world are?? Well seen as I will take Mr Redmuns offer we have time to do some research hopefully. If you so wish??Maybe we can find something out about these creatures.

*A tear rolls down her cheek.....*

*Goes over to the little Moogle and tries to comfort her.*
I bet they did. They'd of scared me to. Just because they haven't been seen here or even been here does not meen they haven't been seen else where. Theres lots of people, creatures being here from other planets and places. They might of seen them or had a encounter with them. You never know what we could find out. Maybe a way of sending them back to where they came from. If we can ever find a portal to get you home.
*Thinks for a minute.* Would you want to go home??? It sounds like it might not be the same as you left it.

I don't about that. I'm the one that got you into this mess. In this relm anyway. I don't think anyone can know what anyplace offers them until there there and they find out.
I'm not sure what this relm can offer me either but it has given me the chance to meet you. For that I'm grateful because it's offered me a friendship I haven't known for a long time.

I have no idea. I don't know if they have any where here that stores that sort of information. Sadly to say it may be one of those things where we have to ask people if they have ever encountered these creatures.
Though if we were to ask them we'd have to get to know them first. Which will take time obviously. This could take a while.
I don't think either of us will be leaving here any time soon by the looks of things.
In that case this job with Mr Redmun will be a good thing. With us needing a place to stay.

*With that, the pair make to their beds and have a long and very uneasy sleep. The moogle rolls around muttering to herself, dreaming of what memories she has of home. Midnight on the other hand is dreaming a seemingly dreamless sleep. Silently she dreams blank dreams of home: the darkness..... nothing but darkness.... silently, her sleep continues till morning, when her first day at The Wolf's Howl Inn commences.... (ooc: continues in "The Big Day")
