✧ The Village of Stars ✧
From atop the nearby mountains, if you looked down, you might be able to see this village glowing in the dark, for the first few hours of the night that is. This hustle and bustle town has many good points that attract tourists, but the townsfolk make a point to put such tourists up for the night, or run them out of town before dark. It's not that they don't like new people, but mostly because outsiders wouldn't quite understand how things work in this town.
Here in Horoscope, there is a curfew. Nobody is to be outside after 10 pm. The reason for this is simple, at 10:30, the lights go out. All of them. If you aren't inside by the time 10:30 hits, you will be submerged in darkness. Now, most tourists don't think this is a bad thing, they think the townsfolk rather silly for being so frightened half the time. But at 10:30 pm, a form of wind, almost like a wave, will race through the city and snuff out all light, even the electrical ones. After the town is shrouded in darkness, that is when the real fear sets in.
They also lock their doors, and some usually talk of beasts and "the beautiful." Long ago, the townsfolk got in the habit of calling one of their horrors "The Beautiful", because they didn't know what else to call them, though most called them "Vampires". It has been a while since any of The Beautiful have been seen, but the Beasts are always on the prowl. If you stay out in the stars too long, you may be found dead the next morning or you may simply go missing all together.
