ladiesofhell said: “I’m not sure. I feel really achy and tired.” Charlie mumbled, she felt feverish too and looked rather pale. “I..I think I need to sit-” And down she went down, collapsing.

Though both lunged, Lombraj was faster on account of being able to ignore gravity, the shadow attempting to gather Charlie up into his arms as both he and Alastor fretted. “I’ll get the medical kit from the kitchen, you get her into the recovery position or something!” The more corporeal of them exclaimed, his shadow nodding and trying to find a good spot for that. Neither of them were really experts on this sort of thing, to be honest.

If anything, the shadow’s jagged smile sharpened, and he cast a smug look at the mic, as if to say ‘I told you so’. Then flowing a little closer, he gesticulated vaguely with his fellow offshoot from Alastor as he addressed Valentino.

“I’m not sure if you knew, but it’s going to be Al’s birthday quite soon.” He began, while a faint clinkety music box rendition of the happy birthday song emanated from Jack as if in emphasis. “Naturally, Jack and I want to get him something - and if possible, prank the hell out of him in the process. D’you happen to sell more than performances live or recorded? We’ve not had cause to peruse your full range before.”

Huzzah! Permission to hug! Ordinarily, it tended to simply be his dear other side who got to do such things, but now it was Lombraj’s turn! With a beaming smile, he flickered closer to scoop Niffty up - provided she was still up for it. “Hullo!”

“Maybe, who knows? Not as though Jack wears any clothes either - think we should see if we can convince Al to join in?”

“Fun fact of the day! I’m technically always naked! That’s all!”

Vibe Check!

“Say what now..?”

“Uhhh, I’ll take it, I guess?”

“Iconic, you say? Heh, sure, I’ll accept that.”

💭 a happy childhood memory

As the fizzing in his bones subsided, Alastor leaned against a tree to catch his breath, the rough bark grounding. Had it worked? Did it take? He did feel kind of different... but was it the right kind of different?

A nervous, hopeful thrill running through him, he glanced down at his shadow, splaying out his free hand in an attempt to urge something to happen. For a moment, nothing - but then the dark rushed out in a silent wave, and a delighted peal of laughter burst free of him.

It felt connected to him, as if some tangential part of himself, and messing with it was fun. He wasn't sure how long he spent just whirling the shadows around, learning how they flowed and changed with his urging, but the time didn't matter on a weekend, when he wasn't expected anywhere.

A bright laugh not his own - but so similar - had he heard that? Where had it come from? As he watched, his shadow waved, bright blue eyes opening for the first time.

Why do you have three maid dresses?

“Why, have you forgotten I’m part of a set? Lombraj and Jack have the other two.”
