I feel like...I dunno, I'm being watched.

's weird. First day out since I got sick, and by the way, I'm still recovering, and I feel like I'm being stalked...except there's nobody there! Not cool.

I'm probably being really paranoid. I dunno. I keep looking behind my shoulder, and the only thing I see is my shadow. So...guess I'm just freaked out about nothing, ri--

[Hanna stops talking, as if he's been interrupted.]

...what?

[Somebody is talking to him...and they're whispering in Hanna's ear, causing him to start quietly freaking out.]


Who's there? How do you know...come out and face me, you...whatever you are!

[The device is now typing out its message to Hanna. It wants the whole network to see what it's saying, to expose and hurt its host.]

Oh, you stupid shell of a human being...you ignore me, but I always follow you. You can't run from me, silly little child...I always follow you, just like eeverything else you can't run from...

You...you...you shut up! I...oh, I know what you are...and I know exactly how to get rid of you!!

[The device cuts off. Hanna is no longer speaking, and his shadow is no longer typing.]

[ooc: Shadowplay
What's that moving out the corner of your eye? Well it looks like it's just your shadow. But shadows shouldn't be moving should they?! Watch out because it seems like those dark silhouettes are coming to life and they have a bone to pick with their owners. They may not have tongues to speak with but they seem to know all the sordid details of your life and boy do they have things to "whisper" into your ear. Other citizens might not be able to hear these shadows, but their fingers are just as good at typing to the network too… or carrying an axe. Characters can hear only their own shadow. Shadows also can't go too far from their base owner and are rendered unanimated when there's no light source.
Shadow responses will be bolded, italicized, and text posts. It will only respond if dressed directly.]

[Okay, you get a little smile.]

Would you like something to eat or drink?

[Oh, and have a very enthusiastic Tumbles barreling toward you, Hanna.]

I would love something, if you don't mind the unexpected company.

Tumbles!! Heya, buddy!!

I don't mind. It was nice of you to come and check on me.

From: [identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com
Well, you're my friend, and I care about you, so of course I came by.

It must be strange for you to see me this way. [Since they have...]

From: [identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com
Nah. I sort of deal with strange all the time, so really, this isn't too far out there.

This isn't really the same though, is it?

It's just a different kind of old.

[Smiles]

What would you like to drink?

Date: 2011-01-16 01:11 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com
Just some water, my throat is still sore from the sick.

I'm sorry to hear that. [She starts to reach out to touch him comfortingly, but withdraws her hand before there is contact, feeling strange about it.]

[He doesn't mind it. It's odd...but it's still Euphie. And he loves Euphie no matter what.]

I'm a lot better now...

Good. I'm glad it's clearing up. It seems like you have terrible luck with curses.

From: [identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com
I do, don't I? I think somebody is conspiring against me.

From: [identity profile] prettymanly.livejournal.com
I hope that's not true. [This time she reaches out to softly touch his hair and makes contact before remembering the change and pulling away quickly.] Oh... I'm sorry.

Date: 2011-01-16 11:48 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] manofgnee.livejournal.com
It's okay.

[He smiles and shakes his head. The change is weird, yes, but it's still Euphie.]

Mmm...

I should get you that drink.

That would be lovely, thank you.
