I am the shadow...

[jamizoid]

THE 'TRUE SELF' MEME
(inspired by Persona 4)



"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 Character A has been replaced by their Shadow or Other Self!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!

[Something about this fog puts her ill at ease. Needless to say, when she sees Danny's figure in the distance she is relieved to see he is ok. She quickens her step to catch up with him.]

Danny!

[The night offers some quiet time and Varon is out to do a little thinking. With so much on his mind lately from recent events in his life, he has to sort them out. Being the type of person he is, he could defend himself and he certainly isn't afraid of the dark.

In fact, he's not really on alert unless he feels it necessary. He spots a familiar figure in the shadows and stops. He takes a few steps into the alley.]

Oy, Fujino. Is that you?

[Eridan! Do you even know how worried she's been about you?

Oh wait you probably don't because you think everyone hates you. Well. Kanaya has been very worried, trust me. It's probably evident with how hopeful she sounds when she says his name:]

Eridan?

[who knows how it happened, but here they are, in the same relative space (that he's intending to burn down). three years is a long time but it's hard to forget someone who helped take down the unstoppable.

nonetheless, she's still human, and her demon's not here. he doesn't keep his guard up as he limps toward her.]

Three years and Usui still needs you to find me? And here I thought he was getting better.
