I am the shadow...

[pleasedeliver]

THE 'TRUE SELF' MEME



"In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts.

Everyone has another side to them that they keep hidden away, feelings they bottle up to save face or avoid conflict. But what if those feelings take a life of their own...?

Perhaps it's your best friend, a close family member, a hated enemy, or maybe it's just a complete stranger. No matter who it is, they are different now, possessing creepy yellow eyes, a distorted voice, and a disconcerting aura. Take care in what you say to them, though, because there are three little words that will set them off into an unstoppable rage...

How to:
Step 1: Post as your character with their name and canon.
Step 2: Others respond stumbling onto your character.
Step 3: WHOOPS. Character A has been replaced by their Shadow or Other Self!
Step 4: Play out the encounter! Will you start an epic boss fight? Have a pleasant chat? Or maybe just flat out ignore them? Run wild!

Oh! Oh excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for a very small clank, round with an eye in the middle, capable of walking, if you've seen anything like that...?

Kougami was seated, as per usual, in a comfy office chair behind a large, imposing solid oak desk. Ceiling-to-floor windows were set into the wall behind him, flooding the room with light. These were the perks of being the president of your own company.

He looked up at Link from his mixing bowl, which was currently filled with cake batter. "Yes? How can I help you, young man?"

[Being separated from the others is one of the most frustrating things that can happen in Tartarus. But at least the search hasn't been too difficult, and Minako has already found one of them.

She feels a little uneasy when she sees Shinjiro, though. He has his back turned to her and she waits for a moment, to see if he turns around by himself, before calling out to him.]

Hey! I'm here! Sorry I took so long.

i hope this is alright!

[crayonfetishdragonkin]

Dave?

[Well, it sure took some time to find him. But somehow, something didn't seem right. She equips her canekind weapon as she waits for him to face her. She couldn't help but feel more shadows approaching, which could become troublesome if it kept up.]

Hey, hurry up cool kid! The little guys here seem to be hungry for some action. I don't really mind about it, but you've been here for a while now. Let's get back and rest our asses, and then we can smell these guys dying. [She chuckles, waiting for some kind of response from him.]

[Okay, so beating the crap out of Shadows and stealing their loot was fun and all but there's a reason Vriska's here at all and that reason is...well, actually that reason's straight ahead of her. Talk about lucky!]

There you are, John! I've been looking eeeeeeeeverywhere for you!

Stiles Stilinski | Teen Wolf

[imalwaysright]

tl;dr version: "hey what are you doing here"

[lycanthnope]

[ Jackson is real goddamn sick of being thrown into these weird situations. When he signed up to get in touch with the supernatural, it was supposed to be a cut-and-dry one time deal. Check out the hospital, Derek said. Everyone else is busy, Derek said. Yeah, well, screw Derek.

He's only doing it because he's stronger as part of a pack, Jackson tells himself as he navigates the familiar hallways. (Lydia had been taken to that room. He had been thrown in that room with Stiles by the Allison's father. Great memories. At least he heals by himself now; he won't have any more excuses to show his face around here.)

It's after visiting hours, but this place is... empty. Deserted, even. Every room is dark, there's not a doctor or hot nurse in sight, and Jackson's new and improved hearing is definitely playing tricks on him.

A light flicks on in a room up ahead and he can distinguish a vaguely familiar silhouette even at this distance. When Jackson approaches the door, it's locked. Dude, you can't get to the boss battle if you don't find the special item. ...Correction, it was locked. Now there's no lock at all. And Jackson is extremely puzzled to find Stiles inside. ]

...I said I had this. What the hell are you doing here?

[ Because it is a lot more important than asking why everything is deserted, naturally. ]
