026. [dictated]

[foolreversed]

[it's a while after Adachi discovered his new blank journal that he runs into another surprise: his Christmas present from the castle.

His just closed journal opens back up again as he falls back against his table, knocking it off]

H-How... What... How did you get here!?

[something actually replies back to him, and it sure doesn't sound human... or like any animal. In fact it is very screechy and just bizarre. But at least it sounds... happy?]

Scree!

No... no, no, no! You've gotta go back to where you came from, right now!

...screee?

Go! Oh geez if anyone finds you we are both so screwed.

[a brief silence. TIME TO GET MORE AGGRESSIVE.]

Go on! Get lost! Get the hell outta my sight!

[but then whatever-it-is just makes those screechy noises again. This time very distinctively UNHAPPILY, almost like crying. It also sounds like something just slithered away.]

No! Don't hide behind there! Crap... I'm sorry, I'm not rejecting you! Come on out? Be a good little-


(ooc: so because Adachi had literally nothing he could give a shit about back home, the castle gave him a tame, non-violent baby shadow as a pet. Basically he's got this.)

[GUESS WHO'S OUT CHECKING DOORS IN TERRERE TOWER, NEIGHBOR... Aradia knocks on Adachi's door a few times.]

Hello! Everything all right in here?

[foolreversed]

[Adachi is currently half under his bed (his... third new one since coming here, goddamnit he should just go back to futons) trying to get the Shadow to come out when he hears Aradia.

Shiiiiiiit.]

I'm fine- [tries to get up WAY TOO FAST- HI HEAD MEET BED] Ow!!

[psych0p0mps]

[geez adachi how did you break the first two oh wait probably exactly like this]

[Aradia tries the door. That yelling didn't sound all right! If it's unlocked, she'll just poke her head in.]

Adachi?

[foolreversed]

[he didn't break them!!! ...by himself anyway. the first one was the first gens and then the second was the castle's awful humor when Terezi wished him up a giant ball of cheese

It is indeed unlocked! So Aradia gets to see Adachi slowly start to crawl back out, a dust bunny or two stuck to the front of his suit. He's rubbing his head]

H-Hi Aradia...

N-Nothing! Don't worry about it Fluttershy, e-everything's all-

[foolreversed]

...Wait.

Fluttershy

[foolreversed]

[SLAPS A FILTER ON THIS]

W-Wait a minute!! Fluttershy, you really like animals right?!

Adachi

[3_butterflies]

Huh? ... Oh, yes, I do! I love animals.

[bedninja]

[It doesn't much matter if Adachi is in the safety of his own room or not; Pharos can feel that little thing from a mile away. He's oh so very familiar with them, after all.

So quite suddenly, he's just there in the room, peering into the shadow's hiding spot with utmost curiosity.]

How interesting... when did you get here? I didn't think the Castle was in the habit of bringing creatures like you here as well!

[And... yup. Adachi's mostly getting ignored. Sorry bro.]

[foolreversed]

[the shadow peeks out curiously. It senses something very familiar... but why you look like that bro O n O

Meanwhile Adachi jumps back in alarm, hitting his head yet again on something]

Wh-wh... Who the heck are you!?

[bedninja]

[It's a very long story, bro. Pharos smiles at the Shadow in a knowing sort of way, and plops himself down to sit on the ground, legs out straight in front of him.

It's only at Adachi's exclamation that Pharos seems to take notice of him. But he looks up, and stares for a moment at him. Dear, there were quite a number of interesting people here, weren't there? And so very many from Minato's world. It seemed the Castle was never devoid of them.]

I am Pharos, of course. And just who might you be?

[punk_cute]

[Kanji is not sure what to make of this (or the fact that he might kind of recognize those noises.) but he can't not comment. He'll just have to get his thoughts together and--]

...what the hell?

[Fail at being eloquent forever.]

[foolreversed]

[FUCK

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NO WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE ONE OF THE KIDS NO WHY]

N-Nothing, nothing! That was all nothing, okay!!

[punk_cute]

[He almost wishes Adachi could see his face right now, because he's sure his voice won't communicate the utter disbelief well enough.]

Seriously? It sure don't sound like nothing. In fact it kinda sounds like somethin' that shouldn't ever be here at all. I could be hearin' wrong--kinda hope I am--but why don't you explain this shit?

[ofhope]

Whatever it is you're doing is bothering everyone else. That's very rude of you. You're a terrible influence on the youth of today.

[foolreversed]

Oh, piss off, you're the last person who gets to say crap like that.

[ofhope]

Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. What's got you all riled up? [ Besides me of cooourse. ]
