Blue-Time

The blue-time is the secret hour between 12:00 and 12:01 that Midnighters can experience. To most people, the blue-time happens in one second. Darklings created the blue-time to evade humans after humans developed technology. The blue-time only occurs in Bixby, Oklahoma and certain other places on the planet that are unnamed.

By the end of Blue Noon, the blue-time expanded quite a bit further than Bixby, and it's total coverage is still unknown.

Midnighters
Midnighters can experience the blue-time, also known as Midnight. Midnighters have talents in the blue-time that is different from other humans. Examples of talents are seer, polymath, mindcaster, acrobat, and the newest addition, flame-bringer.
