SUPERNATURAL / ALIEN, CITIZEN OF MIDNIGHT HAVEN

SEXUALITY UNKNOWN — SINGLE

OOC BREEDINGS POSSIBLE

• just another very regular citizen of Midnight Haven, there is definitely nothing weird about him
• his name comes from his inability to spell "Alert" and he is often called "Red" by friends
• forgot his real name, if he ever had one
• he doesn't talk much and appears very cryptid, but that's a regular for Midnight Haven citizens
• likes talking in riddles and writing in code
• writes for the local Midnight Haven newspaper

No one knows exactly where this funky Viscet came from, but he appeared in Midnight Haven quite suddenly. Not that anyone particularly minded, as he was just as queer as the rest of the town and fit in instantly. They don't call what he does a journalist in Midnight Haven - actually he is considered "the local scribe, who notes down the endless prophecies of our lord and savior the rectangular circling pyramid of neverending darkness", but journalist is shorter, so let's go with that. Basically, Alret works for the newspaper. It's not a daily or weekly issue, though. Sometimes there are multiple issues on one day, sometimes days pass without any news. Then, Alret will hand out pages and pages printed with strange numbers and letters, codes to be decrypted. No one has solved it yet, though. And hopefully no one ever will. We don't know what will happen if Alret's messages are uncovered, but we'd rather have them stay unknown forever.

Once in a while, an outsider - meaning someone who is not a Midnight Haven native or someone who is not in the slightest familiar with the customs of this beautiful town - will get their hands on one of Alret's newspaper issues. Now, there are two options, as follows: 1) the issue they find is in codes. As we have observed, most of them will shrug it off and throw it away instantly. good. we do not want them to uncover the secrets. 2) the issue they find is a regular one. Now, bear with us, here is the point where it's getting strange. Sometimes, the finder will suggest that they found something they call a joke or a hoax. a prank, basically. But others, dear listeners, they call our dear friend Alret a conspiracy theorist! Well, I had to look up these strange words for myself, I have never encountered them before I've heard someone from outside saying them. I figured they must be some very strange slang from a few towns down the road. Now, apparently, a conspicary is something wild and made up, crazy stories about a so called government. I asked Alret if he was a conspiracy theorist and he said no. Of course not. He's just "the local scribe, who notes down the endless prophecies of our lord and savior the rectangular circling pyramid of neverending darkness". All Hail. And he really shouldn't be blamed for writing about the annual disappearance of lizard people and the strange noises of terror that are to be heard every Monday at precicely 9:33pm, sounding from the secluded woods. No one here likes mondays, that's why they were made illegal.

Alret is a fine fellow, by the way. Doesn't talk much and when you try to approach him, he will shove one of his encrypted issues into your hands. But you should still visit him at some point. Just don't try to decode the warnings of the cosmos or else the third landing will befall us. Although, to be fair, the second one wasn't too bad... we only lost half of our people to an alien population made out of elvis impersonators. Alret wrote about that, too. You should read it.
