It wasn't anything special or new because I somehow managed to become a paranoid mess every night of a full moon.

I took a deep breath and pushed the last thought aside as I straightened, then cleared my throat inaudibly. "Good evening, all," I began steadily, my eyes darting over them. "The silver globe shall soon hang above us all, but we have prepared for this night."
"Yes!"
"We have!"
They all replied, and I waited until their voices died down before continuing.
"I have great confidence in our defenses, and I believe we'll all meet here again tomorrow without any accidents."
