Manehatten Police Report
2nd Year of Harmony - [Date obscured]

At 10 pm last night the fire department responded to numerous reports
of flames and smoke issuing from a small office on the 23rd floor of
the Cranehurst building. Once the flames were extinguished the cause
was discovered to be a faulty electric light that had fallen from the
ceiling onto several open (and apparently partially full) bottles of
alcohol.

Initial attempts to locate the office tenant, a "Stormy Night," were
unsuccessful, and interviews with other tenants and the building manager
revealed that he had not been seen in over a week. At this point the
investigation shifted from arson to missing persons, and my department
was brought in.

This file is a complete catalog of the evidence and documents
gathered from the scene, a surprising number of which survived both
the fire and water. The story they tell is notable: clearly Mr. Night
had an obsession which was causing him a number of concerns. Whether
it had any significant connection to his disappearance is unclear.
As of yet we have not discovered any significant leads as to the
nature of his disappearance or his current status.

"-generally do this in two ways. The first is eye contact, which can
be used to induce an unnatural relaxation or sense of ease.

The second is a steady rhythm, often a tapping or a carefully spoken
word. This seems to serve as a stronger version of the first method, inducing
intense relaxation and mild euphoria in the victim. This method's main
weakness is that it is in some sense too effective. While very pliable,
victims are so relaxed that they seem to be unable to understand anything beyond
very simple commands, and any complicated or long-term manipulation is
impossible. Efficacy varies widely depending on the victim, [several words smeared]
and various other factors, and intensity can be increased if the user is patient, but both
methods seem to rapidly decrease in strength if used repeatedly in a short period of time.

Both abilities are fairly weak, but this also makes them easy to
perform (and repeat if needed) and hard to detect. In isolation, they
are mildly hazardous, parlor tricks that are just a little too good.
Mixed with other talents, they are the beginning of a very dark night."
