<aside> 🌆 The last 24 hours have been stressful for the gang. From waking up from an interconnected nightmare to nearly tracking down the source of these physical dreams, much has been discovered. A dead electrical worker? A missing repair truck? Things don’t quite seem to connect yet. After a largely uneventful night, Adriana and Shakti shared a moment before Shakti watched the sunrise, waiting for everyone to wake up. It’s been a few hours now since then, and the gang is waking up for the day. But where is Diana?

LORE REVEALS:
Unblinking Eye (Dreamhacker was hired by Leon Cappaldi, they fade into the shadows for a while except for a phone call at the end of the mystery that Sam gets only saying “Six Months.”)
Ways that Sonder is expressed? - Depends on person to person, dream/dreamlike locations are more full of Sonder as the barrier between the imaginary and the real is thinner
HOW SONDER WORKS- Energy source that can be harnessed and tapped into by people aware of it, also generates random events like NotDeer and the Cloudbuster
What are Believers? - Believers are people who attract Sonder and AFIs. They may not necessarily have special abilities/are supernatural themselves. Winnie is a Believer, hence why she is a target for the Dreamhacker.
DAY: The Dreamhacker is sent on his mission to Culver by Leon Capaldi. He targets students unrelated to the gang first. They aren’t hurt, but a rumor starts spreading about falling asleep right at midnight.
SHADOWS: The Dreamhacker goes after Winnie, planting a sigil under her bed. After this, she starts having weird dreams. After cutting her hand in a dream one night, Winnie wakes up to see an open wound where she cut her hand in the dream.
DUSK: Winnie’s dreams start becoming more violent, being targeted by the Dreamhacker directly. One night, she is violently killed in her bedroom. She is found by her parents, who call the police.
SUNSET: The rumor of the Dreamhacker is spread on the local television channel, giving him more Sonder to become more powerful.
NIGHTFALL: The barrier between reality and dreams becomes blurred. The town is covered in a deep fog that transforms and corrupts Culver.
MIDNIGHT: The barrier between reality and dreams is destroyed. The Dreamhacker runs loose, spurning Leon Capaldi and transforming Culver into a city of nightmares.
