Hello :) I am here to help or talk to co-workers and stuff. Won’t really do much else on this account. One worker started calling me Shade, so, I guess that’s alright
I don’t think I technically work here, but, I’ve been simply accepted into the SDN workspace from what I’ve seen
I’m always around if others need me
Not in a creepy way, more in like— I can hear through shadows.
This is what I look like, I guess? Not like there’s many other shadow beings around here.. I don’t think
And I guess for the few people who’ve met me normally.. this is what I look like
Okay okay okay okay- now to people I know, which is becoming more and more people as time goes on-
My kinda-Co-workers
I’m not sure if I count as a SDN employee
Family, mostly found!
He’s my older brother, @definitely-not-a-wind-vigilante
We came from the same orphanage when my parents adopted me- yeah, I’m adopted. But my parents are really really nice- and so is my brother. Even if he’s a bit of a pain.
Friends and others :>
Met them a while back, @attention-deficit-oh-look-donuts
I think I met them around when they started working at SDN, they’ve got quite a bit of energy, but they’re pretty nice and all! They call me ‘Shade’ which has gotten others to calling me that quite a bit, which I’m fine with
I’d like to call him a friend- @ask-hysteria
He’s like one of the only people I avidly talk to at SDN, and he’s very very nice. He’s always willing to help people- and yes, he is a bit awkward… but he’s trying his best! He calls me ‘little shadow’, which I don’t really mind.
She has some pretty cool stuff @eyeofthehurricaine
She is pretty fun- sometimes I get to learn things about her wings, or family stories- Her apartment is also pretty chill. I started to learn some embroidery from her, and it actually isn’t that bad! I’m shit at the crochet that she’s trying to teach though.
Donut selling Fox @tiredupstairsneighbor
I’d say she’s a friend, and sometimes I babysit her younger cousin, especially since she’s had to sort of pick up stuff at Granny’s after that whole incident happened with Invisagal and Lightningstruck a while back
Others- I’ve met them once or twice!
He does not like me, but I hope he’s doing well for himself @biohazardsinmyblood I don’t like him
I met him and tried to help, he didn’t accept it- but, hey, that’s life, I can’t make someone accept any help! I hope he’s doing good and all, last time I saw him he was headed for a hostel I think. I’ll just pretend I don’t know him for now, since he’ll probably rather have that!
She’s sorta like that one other kid- I’m gonna be entirely honest, she’s fucking homeless. I’ve sorta gotten her into accepting help, even if it’s not directly and stuff… she won’t let me help her BUT she has accepted food and stuff I’ve left out.. she also accepts sleeping in the little area I set up outside
I’ve met him like once so I don’t think I can call him a friend BUT he is pretty nice @red-ring-robert-robertson-iii
Like I said, I would not say he’s a friend, but apparently this Robert guy runs his version of the red ring and stuff- he’s actually pretty decent for someone running the red ring. He said I’m welcome back to visit. I probably won’t… just since I scared the shit out of Hysteria
Immortal bastard/aff @sdncorpus
It’s kinda odd, like his piers and like how he sorta temporarily dies every now and again and then comes back like an hour later- but it’s also fascinating. He’s kinda depressed which makes a lot of sense, but he was given a cat lately so, that sorta helped I guess? His cat is very sweet, I’ve gotten to watch her once or so!
[[ All of the below is OOC ]]
Sigghhhhh I couldn’t stop the urge to make Eve into a dispatch version..
So she’s here
Talking in a shadowy form is speaking like this
Talking normally is, well, just normal text
(Temporary person) Xan talks like this.

Sometimes I forget that one of my friends can just. Teleport.
Because apparently her parents made cookies and she just appeared right behind me with a bag of cookies, but I didn’t notice her, so I might have flailed and fallen over
I now have cookies with me, but I will continue to lay on my floor in shame of getting caught off guard so easily
“Great, now we know what to do when the generator breaks in a storm.” Eve said, glancing away from the book she was reading, Xan’s ghost peering over Eve’s shoulder to read. A certain little gal was trying to swipe at Xan’s ghostly form, babbling when her hand simply went through
I’m having a sleepover with my friend and she just had a prophetic breakdown
I mean I’m used to it but my father was passing by and just fucking stared because to be fair, not knowing what’s going on and than seeing a teenager with red mist pouring out of them and a weird ass voice as they speak in fucking rhyme, would leave me kinda confused too
.
.

Tho…
…Kinda concerns me recently. She doesn’t tell us what she’s seeing. I guess I’m worried she’s see something bad or potentially traumatizing and not telling us?
Some of my friends don’t have tumblr which is very MEAN of them because it means I can’t randomly tag them about the bullshit they do it in front of me
"Little shadow how is that girl you've been watching?"
- @ask-hysteria
“She’s doing alright,” Eve would reply, a smile on her shadowy form as she looked over to Hysteria. She would shrug though as she continued, “I mean, she unintentionally appeared in New York the other day- but I was able to retrieve her just fine! She’s getting along a bit more with my parents, and my siblings. Mostly Lettie though, since she’s home with her most of the time. Said it happened after she went in a dark corner of my room, so.. she probably has powers manifesting. Shadow-related ones if I had to guess- because of the- well. Dark corner part.”
“I guess so. Which is kinda funny- if I had a nickel for every abandoned orphan with shadow powers I know of, I’d have two nickels.” Eve would joke, though simply smiling still, “But yeah, she’s doing good. She really liked mozzarella sticks, and we’ve noticed she seems sorta sight-impaired, so maybe when she’s more chill about being around people, we’ll get that checked out.”
Eve stepped out of the shadows, she simply felt like it, and she brushed off her sleeve of a little bit of darkness that clung. “Oh- uh, I mean. Me included.” Eve would verify, seeming to awkwardly scratch the back of her neck as she explained, “Since like I was technically just found like abandoned as a baby, from what my current parents knew. Not that it matters much…”
…well. Didn’t matter much until she met her aunt the other day. Which means she’ll be finding more out about her birth family. Which she never really thought about before, now she’s sorta got to learn about, since apparently her close family lives around here.. and she never knew that. Kinda feels shitty that some of her bio family has been in California this whole time and she just had no clue- then again ‘Jordan’ isn’t exactly that unique of a last name, so, she kinda never assumes she’s related to somebody with the last name.
With that, Eve glanced away a bit, not quite meeting the man’s eyes as she continued talking, “I’m sure you can probably read my thoughts, so, uh… while we’re on the topic of like. Being adopted and all. Do you… well—“ Eve bit her lip and just asked, since she may as well stop shifting around the topic, “I’m going to have to meet my.. dad’s siblings. At some point, soon. And I know you aren’t the best with people either, but I just wanted to know like.. if you had any advice or.. something.”
To be fair, she’d asked a few people what she should do for this. Since it felt so… weird. To know she’d meet these people that don’t know her, people who knew her dad, which she’s never met. And yeah she’s alright at making friends unintentionally and just interacting with people, but for some reason this just felt way more awkward. She’d asked some other friends, but they all had the same sort of ‘be yourself’ shit- even if hysteria said that, she figured she should just ask. He’s been alive longer then she has, she’s pretty sure his friends or something have kids and so he knows how adults-who-knew-the-kid-back-then would react, or— fuck. It feels so stupid in her head to try and find reasonings. But really she just wanted to ask anyone she trusts. How is she supposed to just.. stand in front of these people and act like she hasn’t been wondering about her family for like. Forever. “It’s fine if you like. Don’t have any advice or- yeah. But.. just. You know. Figured I should ask.”
"When you meet them if they don't like you as yourself they are not the people for you, don't share to much though, becareful with your powers and with hoe thry act, if you start feeling in trouble leave."
Eve listened to Hysteria and gave a little nod, “Yeah.. I wasn’t planning on sharing a lot- honestly I probably shouldn’t be this worried. I met one of them- her names Luna. She’s pretty nice, when I interacted with her.”
“Yeah. Luna’s nice… but she seems a bit…” Eve paused to find the word. There wasn’t anything wrong with Luna, but she seemed… “..out of it? In a way? I wouldn’t say she’s like. Bad. But she doesn’t seem all there from what I’ve seen. She’s nice. Absolutely. But she talked about like.. other family- like aunts and stuff- I guess I’m.. more worried about seeing them, than I am of seeing her..” a small sigh came from the teen, sitting down and putting a hand to her ow face as she trailed off, “…actually, that’s a lie.”
Eve lets out a frustrated huff, one of her hands combing anxiously through her short hair, until one settled at just clipping and unclipping her green hair-clip repeatedly, as a sort of fidgeting. She shouldn’t be worried. She knew she shouldn’t be. She’s never been worried to meet anyone before ever.. but she’s worried, because- “…Luna says my dad talks about me. So.. I guess I’m. More worried about meeting him?” If he talks about her, why did he just leave her as an infant? Not taking care of a child is one thing, but straight up abanding them is another.. how is she supposed to just meet her biological family after almost 17 years, when it seems like he’s… so casual about her? That’s how Luna phrased it, at least.. she never felt insecure or anything about being adopted.. so she has no clue why this is such a big deal in her mind. “Even if he’s nice I just…” fuck, she’s just rambling on now isn’t she? Her hands combed through her hair as she would huff a soft curse, “Fuck. I’m just rambling now, aren’t I? Sorry.”
"I think its fine to ramble, especially about things like this, keeping all of this bottled up doesn't seem very good." He gave her a small pat on the shoulder. "Its plenty fine to ramble little shadow."
“Is it….” Eve would pause, glancing from Hysteria’s smile, to the ground nearby, “..is it wrong that I.. don’t really want to meet him?” It felt wrong. She could go and meet practically anybody, go and randomly make friends with the creatures that go bump in the night and could scare a town in minutes, that she could go find any animal and practically adopt it, that she could help ex-criminals and not feel anxious… yet she couldn’t quite feel comfortable in actually meeting her own flesh and blood. “I mean- I want to. I want to meet my family, but at the same time I just…” one hand waved vaguely for a moment as she attempted to find the words, “I guess I’m scared? Like.. I don’t know. It’s. It’s hard to explain.”
"Little shadow how is that girl you've been watching?"

We were reminded that flour is actually very flammable when dispersed as power in the air and looks like a small bomb if there’s bits of it in the air when caught ablaze due to fire being able to rapidly grow from small grain to grain in close proximity
In other words, babysitting kitchen-accident.
You know, you would’ve thought the kid with plant powers, would be adverse to fire
Everything turned out fine, but it was a good learning moment.. I guess..?
