@the-shadow-creature
Hello young one's, my name is Min.
My name means black.
I am a shadowy creature, that can morph into anything or anyone's shadow.
But there is no need to fear me.
I have been on this planet for millenniums, and I enjoy helping people.
Yi walks into Min's territory, looking around.
Quietly, she chirps for them.
@genius-in-training
{It doesn't take long for Min to appear. They watch Yi, giving her a gentle smile.}
Hello, young one.
Yi stops, smiling sadly.
"Hello Min."
"It's nice to see you again... Although I don't come to you for some chit-chat, unfortunately...."
Then why do you seek me out?
"Well... do you have a shovel for me?"
Yi looks slightly away.
"I...need to dig a grave..."
{Min watches Yi before nodding slowly.}
I see.
Indeed, I do.
Yi walks into Min's territory, looking around.
Quietly, she chirps for them.

Hello, young one.
A beast roars, searching around. It sniffs, following a specific scent.
@npcs-for-everyone
*Yasei-ji hid in the alley, pinning her ears back, tucking their tail, terrified, the turtle was taken by the human! But why is another mutant working with the human!?*
It still sniffs around before stopping in its tracks. The beast lets out a snarl. Slowly it stalks over to Yasei-ji, showing its fangs.
(Damn I passed out)
*Yasei-ji growled, sinking unders something, watching the mutant close, whining quietly*
Once it determined where Yasei-ji was, it roars loud, rampaging around. It throws obstacles out of the way, swiping at the mutant.
*Yasei-ji yelped, running off quickly, searching for a hideout, and escape. All these people are in one space! She needs to find an escape from this mutant*
*Yasei-ji ran back to the woods, looking around panicked while hiding, she couldn't blend in here, they needed snow..*
It roars again, chasing after Yasei-ji. It growls and snarls. The beast swipes at Yasei-ji before ramming into them.
It bites down on the mutant's paw, growling louder.
*Yasei-ji yelped, sinking their fangs into the beasts nose, yowling loudly*
{A screech is heard before something appears from the shadows, tackling the beast off of Yasei-ji and pinning them down to the ground.}
The beast yelps and roars back. It snaps and bites the new attacker, angry.
*Yasei-ji pinned their ears down, running off quickly, terrified and hurt, watching from far away*
{Min doesn't react to the snapping and biting. They glare at the beast as they continue to keep them pinned while putting pressure on/around their neck- choking them out.}
It coughs and snarls, trying to get the attacker off of them. Their tail trash around, kicking its hind legs against Min.
*Yasei-ji hissed slightly before jumping on the mutants back, sinking her fangs into the mutants eyes, clawing at the mutants eyes as well*
{Again, Min doesn't react to the beast, continuing to choke them out, waiting for them to fall unconscious. Min watches Yasei-ji before carefully removing them from the beast, not wanting either party to get too hurt.}
It roars loud of pain, slowly stopping to move.
It wheezes more, falling unconscious.
*Yasei-ji hissed slightly before looking at this strange thing, pinning their ears down and tucking their tail, whining*
{Min stays on the beast for a moment longer before letting them go. They watch Yasei-ji before making themselves smaller.}
It is alright, young one; I won't hurt you; you're safe.
*Yasei-ji whined before running off quickly, trying to find their way back to moriko*
{Min watches as Yasei-ji flees before looking back at the beast. They grab them and morph into the surrounding shadows before skittering away with them- moving the beast away from the forest.}

*Leo was about to make toast, almost jumping out of his shell as suddenly a shadow pops up right in front of him. He backs away until his shell hits the table, staring*
{They look around, acting as if they're not all there. After a moment they notice the turtle and back away to give him some space.}
*He blinks, looking around before staring again to them*
"........"
Sorry, I did not mean to startle you.
"You-"
"Why can't nobody knock or something??"
Sorry, young one, my mind is not all here...
"Who even are you?"
You may call me Min.
"Min... I'm Leo..."
*He still looks wary to Min, holding his distance*
{Min watches Leo before making themselves smaller. They go from being 6'4" to about 5'.}
You don't have to worry, young one, I will not harm you.
"Young one-? I'm one of the oldest here..."
*Leo slowly comes closer*
"....since when can shadows come to life....? Does this happen to every shadow?"
Yet you are still young.
And no, I am one of a kind.
"Oh...."
*Leo is quiet for a moment, wondering why so many strangers come into their lair... is that normal here?*
Mmmmm.
Curious, how old are you?
".....why do you ask...?"
*He quints slightly his eyes, looking suspicious to Min*
You are 19, are you not?
You and your brothers are the same age, no?
*Leo just stares, taking a few steps away again*
Mmmm.
{Min sits down on the ground, trying to seem like less of a threat. They make themselves a little bit smaller.}
If I was going to harm you, I would have done it already, young one.
"I don't really like it when strangers know too much about us..."
Mikey talks a lot.
I'm bound to have at least a little information on you.
Mikey often says things without realizing it.
"Of course, Mikey...."
*He puts a hand on his head, sighing*
"...You know Mikey?"
A kind and gentle soul; always trying to make a friend.
"Always trying to fix everything..."
*Leo looks away*
He puts others before himself.
And sometimes, some of us lose ourselves on the way.
He likes to see others happy, and he's willing to sacrifice his own happiness to achieve that.
"...I know..."
"I saw it.... I witnessed it..."
Semoga rohnya kekal suci.
[May his soul remain pure.]
"...Uh.. sorry? What did you say?"
*He tilts his head in confusion*
Semoga rohnya kekal suci.
May his soul remain pure.
It's Malay.
"Ah, I see. Sorry, I only speak Japanese and English..."
*He smiles slightly as an apology*
่ฌใๅฟ ่ฆใฏใใใพใใใ
ใใชใใ็งใฎ่จ่ใ็่งฃใใใจใฏๆใฃใฆใใพใใใงใใใ
[There's no need to apologize.]
[I didn't expect you to understand my words.]
*He looks surprised but shrugs*
"Then why did you speak it in Malay?"
It is my native language, and I often return to it.
"So like me. Well- japanese is not quite our native language but we learned it when we was still young."
Mmmm.
I know many languages, including many that are now dead.
They have come and they have gone, and I have picked them up along the way over the years.
"You live for a long time then...."
...
A little over 5,000 years.
"That's a really long time..."
*His stomach rumbles, reminding him why he came in her the first place. He looks awkwardly away*
Mmmm.
Indeed it is.
And I will only continue to roam the Earth.
*Leo still looks away, seemingly uncomfortable*
"Could you... move...? I would like to make me at least some tea..."
Very well.
{Min morphs into the surrounding shadows, moving to the other side of the room. When they morph back, they're back to their original size of 6'4".}
*He goes to the kettle, filling it with water before heating it up. Leo watches Min, opening the freezer*
{ICK hisses as the freezer first opens but she soon sinks back into her bowl and meows quietly at Leo.}
*He gets her out on the table, closing the freezer*
"Hey ICK...."
*Leo grabs the whipping cream, giving her some to eat. Then he prepares the tea leaves He looks to Min*
"Do you want a tea too?"
{ICK perks up a little at the whipped cream, meowing at Leo, eating the whipped cream.}
Tidak.
I am alright.
It's not often that I consume food or drinks like you would.
*He nods, patting ICK more until the water is ready. Leo makes his tea, sitting down*
"Are you invincible?"
I am immortal, but I have my weaknesses.
Light, is said weakness.
"Oh. Well, seems logical."
*He blows softly before taking a sip from his tea*
Light only affects me when I'm weakened, however.
The weaker I am, the more the light affects me.
Which is why the lights are not currently a problem for me.
*Meow*
*Leo nods, patting ICK. Carefully he puts her back in the freezer*
"Do you feel it if your on your limit?"
Ya.
{Min nods.}
It hurts.
I can tell when I have become weakened, and I can feel it progress if I don't seek out a dark area to rest and regain my energy.
Light won't just make it worse, it also becomes painful.
The weaker I am, the more pain I feel.
I have a good pain tolerance, so I can deal with it for quite a while, so I don't usually seek dark areas right away.
*He nods again, watching Min*
{Min becomes quiet, and they just stare at the wall. Seems like Min's not there anymore.}
*Leo's eyes widen, feeling uneasy*
"I'm sorry, I know you seek some company but- I would like some time with myself now... a lot happened and I need a bit-"
{It takes a moment for Min to come back. They look at Leo, nodding.}
Very well.
I should go anyway, the baby is awake and I shouldn't leave her alone in the cave for too long.
*He looks utterly confused but don't ask about it*
"Okay. Take care, Min."
You as well, Leo.

Light won't just make it worse, it also becomes painful.
The weaker I am, the more pain I feel.
I have a good pain tolerance, so I can deal with it for quite a while, so I don't usually seek dark areas right away.
*He nods again, watching Min*
{Min becomes quiet, and they just stare at the wall. Seems like Min's not there anymore.}
{A lost soul? a shadow? a something appears right in front of you.}

*Leo was about to make toast, almost jumping out of his shell as suddenly a shadow pops up right in front of him. He backs away until his shell hits the table, staring*
{They look around, acting as if they're not all there. After a moment they notice the turtle and back away to give him some space.}
*He blinks, looking around before staring again to them*
"........"
Sorry, I did not mean to startle you.
"You-"
"Why can't nobody knock or something??"
Sorry, young one, my mind is not all here...
"Who even are you?"
You may call me Min.
"Min... I'm Leo..."
*He still looks wary to Min, holding his distance*
{Min watches Leo before making themselves smaller. They go from being 6'4" to about 5'.}
You don't have to worry, young one, I will not harm you.
"Young one-? I'm one of the oldest here..."
*Leo slowly comes closer*
"....since when can shadows come to life....? Does this happen to every shadow?"
Yet you are still young.
And no, I am one of a kind.
"Oh...."
*Leo is quiet for a moment, wondering why so many strangers come into their lair... is that normal here?*
Mmmmm.
Curious, how old are you?
".....why do you ask...?"
*He quints slightly his eyes, looking suspicious to Min*
You are 19, are you not?
You and your brothers are the same age, no?
*Leo just stares, taking a few steps away again*
Mmmm.
{Min sits down on the ground, trying to seem like less of a threat. They make themselves a little bit smaller.}
If I was going to harm you, I would have done it already, young one.
"I don't really like it when strangers know too much about us..."
Mikey talks a lot.
I'm bound to have at least a little information on you.
Mikey often says things without realizing it.
"Of course, Mikey...."
*He puts a hand on his head, sighing*
"...You know Mikey?"
A kind and gentle soul; always trying to make a friend.
"Always trying to fix everything..."
*Leo looks away*
He puts others before himself.
And sometimes, some of us lose ourselves on the way.
He likes to see others happy, and he's willing to sacrifice his own happiness to achieve that.
"...I know..."
"I saw it.... I witnessed it..."
Semoga rohnya kekal suci.
[May his soul remain pure.]
"...Uh.. sorry? What did you say?"
*He tilts his head in confusion*
Semoga rohnya kekal suci.
May his soul remain pure.
It's Malay.
"Ah, I see. Sorry, I only speak Japanese and English..."
*He smiles slightly as an apology*

[There's no need to apologize.]
[I didn't expect you to understand my words.]
*He looks surprised but shrugs*
"Then why did you speak it in Malay?"
It is my native language, and I often return to it.
"So like me. Well- japanese is not quite our native language but we learned it when we was still young."
Mmmm.
I know many languages, including many that are now dead.
They have come and they have gone, and I have picked them up along the way over the years.
"You live for a long time then...."
...
A little over 5,000 years.
"That's a really long time..."
*His stomach rumbles, reminding him why he came in her the first place. He looks awkwardly away*
Mmmm.
Indeed it is.
And I will only continue to roam the Earth.
*Leo still looks away, seemingly uncomfortable*
"Could you... move...? I would like to make me at least some tea..."
Very well.
{Min morphs into the surrounding shadows, moving to the other side of the room. When they morph back, they're back to their original size of 6'4".}
*He goes to the kettle, filling it with water before heating it up. Leo watches Min, opening the freezer*
{ICK hisses as the freezer first opens but she soon sinks back into her bowl and meows quietly at Leo.}
*He gets her out on the table, closing the freezer*
"Hey ICK...."
*Leo grabs the whipping cream, giving her some to eat. Then he prepares the tea leaves He looks to Min*
"Do you want a tea too?"
{ICK perks up a little at the whipped cream, meowing at Leo, eating the whipped cream.}
Tidak.
I am alright.
It's not often that I consume food or drinks like you would.
*He nods, patting ICK more until the water is ready. Leo makes his tea, sitting down*
"Are you invincible?"
I am immortal, but I have my weaknesses.
Light, is said weakness.
"Oh. Well, seems logical."
*He blows softly before taking a sip from his tea*
Light only affects me when I'm weakened, however.
The weaker I am, the more the light affects me.
Which is why the lights are not currently a problem for me.
*Meow*
*Leo nods, patting ICK. Carefully he puts her back in the freezer*
"Do you feel it if your on your limit?"
Ya.
{Min nods.}
It hurts.
I can tell when I have become weakened, and I can feel it progress if I don't seek out a dark area to rest and regain my energy.
Light won't just make it worse, it also becomes painful.
