Supernatural event is required to be in the past. Cannot be in the present.
There is nothing in the brief that says a supernatural event can't happen in the present. Just that one has to have happened in the past.

Cornie, I love the white faced dino on your avatar. Very funny! Yeah, on the supernatural event thing - as long as each main character has had a supernatural event in their life (can be present), you're golden.

Odd but interesting character(s) take refuge from a hurricane in a beat-up motel and are forced to make a choice between good or evil in order to survive the night.Each character must have some history involving a supernatural event in their lives that factors into their choice.
If we are asked about our own historical events and we provided a current event that would be considered evading or not understanding the nature of the request.
History = past.
Or do I need to take my "I stayed at a Holiday Inn" amateur attorney attache case outside?

Exactly, you need to have that historical supernatural event. But that doesn't mean that a supernatural event can't happen in the present. There can be more than one event or even a continuation of the same one.

Interesting.
I stand corrected.
Thank you for making that clear.

Did you make that up yourself or were actually able find the pre-made image?

Exactly, you need to have that historical supernatural event.
In that case, I'm out. I understood it as a supernatural moment in a person's life, which could include the present. I didn't realize it would require that kind of event in their past.

I don't see how my quote could make you decide you're out. When this has been the brief from the beginning.

Exactly! Right?!
That's what it read like to me, also.
In my past, my history, I had a relationship that was ______ .
Because of that event, which is no longer occurring, I will make a decision tonight that is good or evil.
Simple.
