"I've had enough of your mind games, Scrier! Where's Travaller? And what does he want with me?!" Spider-Man's voice calls out in the darkness towards his pale, enigmatic foe.
"Mind yourself, Spider-Man. Judas is presently in a position where even he cannot save himself. Soon, you will join him." The two foes continue their epic duel, but unbeknownst to one of them, the other has the capacity to be in two places at once... And this time, we're not talking about clones!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, across town, Scrier argues with one of his allies, the masked underworld crime lord known only as The Rose—a man not known for being even-tempered at the best of times.
"You LIED to me!" He screams in anger, realizing his betrayal.
"You said you were Scrier, but you didn't tell me the whole TRUTH... Scrier isn't an individual -- it's the name of your entire organization!"
Uh-oh...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back across town, Spider-Man now finds himself
surrounded by an army of Scriers! What's going on? Is this Mysterio tech -- an illusion? Are the clones?! Is Scrier in league with the Jackal? No, can't be, the two of them were nearly fighting to the death just the other day! So what...
"Of course!" Spider-Man says, finally putting the pieces together.
"No wonder you appear to be able to cover more ground than just one man can cover. You never were just one man!"
The Scriers don't even dignify him with an answer as the brotherhood moves in unison to subdue their target. Suddenly, when it looks as if they are finally about to win, another voice calls out from the night sky as a familiar-looking red-and-blue-clad superhero swings onto the scene.
"Neat trick, Scrier, but you aren't the only one who can be in two places at once!"
Like a bowling ball, Spider-Man clobbers a bunch of Scrier-shaped pins!
The army defeated, their foe slinks away into retreat as Spider-Man checks to make sure his clone is all right (or is it the other way around?). As the last of them pull away, one Scrier shouts a taunt at his beleaguered opponents.
"You'll never see the last of us, Spider-Man. Our numbers are greater than the stars in the night sky! And like the stars... We see everything!"
And with that, in a puff of smoke, the last Scrier is gone... For now...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Across town.
"I am impressed, Rose," Scrier speaks with a menacing tone.
"Few have uncovered the true secret of Scrier. Fewer have we allowed to survive with this knowledge..."
The fate of the Rose is currently unknown...

It is now
Night 2. Night actions must be sent before the Deadline to be counted. By default, you cannot post in the game thread during the Night, but some people might have abilities that circumvent that (and in fact, anyone can use "Burning the Midnight Oil" under communal abilities to do so, at the cost of their action).
The Night 2 Deadline is set for: July 29th at 2:45 AM EST. Click here for an accurate countdown timer.
