Day 374 | Action | Open
Backside of the TV

[You're in a maze. It might be a sauna, hot and muggy and thick with steam. Or maybe it's a strip club, dark with violet curtains covering the walls and secret corners with music pounding through the air and whispers you can't quite make out as you wander the corridors. Maybe you're in what looks like a video game with blocky, artificial looking dungeon walls and floors. Or perhaps it's a secret base like you'd see in an action movie, the kind with sliding blast doors and scaffolding to climb around on. Maybe your maze is beautiful, like a fairy tale, or the way a child would imagine heaven, full of clouds and flowers and somehow heartbreakingly sad.

You can wander around whichever maze you find yourself in. Maybe you'll stay there, maybe they all begin to blur together and you find yourself drifting from one to another as you explore the hallways. They all have one thing in common though; they're full of Shadows, dark monsters that you can sneak past or fight. Probably fight, since Kanji is with you every step of the way, folding chair sling easily over his shoulder and looking for some action. He's wearing a pair of glasses, and you may notice you have a pair on, too. Pick whatever style you'd like, but if you take them off your surroundings will be lost in a fog that makes your head hurt. Try not to get lost in it.]

[There might not be here but as soon as they round the next corner there will be. Somehow the scenery changes, in that way that makes sense in dreams and the maze they're in now is a sauna, steamy and hot and very different. Kanji glances around, looking grumpy.] Naw, we think hers didn't because she's so little. She doesn't really have anything she hides about herself.

[Well. This is an uncomfortable change of scenery, and not just because the heat and steam are stifling.] What about this one? This one isn't hers.

Yeah? [Um.] It's not the way I would've guessed. I mean, I don't know what I would've guessed...

Yeah, that's kinda how this stuff works. Most of it is stuff you wouldn't guess about a person. And your Shadow, it's the monster that looks like you and is made out of all that hidden stuff. They're usually kinda outta control but that don't mean they ain't real.

[The mention of monsters makes Nathan look around as if expecting them to be summoned by that word alone.] Your shadow can't be that bad. You're a good person.

Yeah, trust me, it is. I can accept its a part of me, but that doesn't mean I like it all that much.

How bad is it? [And why is it in a sauna? That's incredibly weird.]

[A long, long silence. Hey it's embarrassing, okay?] You remember how I said in the haunted house how I kinda don't know what I'm into? With girls and guys and stuff? And how I got a lotta girly hobbies? My Shadow was kinda that sort of stuff, but way more over the top.

Oh. [There's a long, thoughtful pause.] If that's the worst kind of stuff you're hiding, this'll be okay.

[He looks kind of surprised at that, like he didn't expect to get off so easily, and then grins sheepishly.] Hey thanks for bein' cool about it, man.

[He shrugs, a little sheepish himself.] It'd be bad if I wasn't. The things I like are a lot more messed up. [You know, because sexual sadist.]

Maybe but it ain't about how good or bad it is. You can have something that ain't so bad but you still don't like it about yourself, you know?

I guess so. [Not really.] Why d'you hate it so much?

[He thinks about it for a moment but he's getting pretty good at explaining it all lately.] People make fun of me for it. A lot of my hobbies are pretty girly, you know? Guys aren't supposed to like the kinda stuff I do. It ain't exactly manly, you know?

But you carry a chair around and hit stuff with it. That's the manliest thing ever, basically.

[He looks embarrassed and runs his hand through his hair awkwardly.] I only started gettin' in fights and stuff at home 'cause people were givin' me shit about it all. I started takin' out biker gangs and stuff but it just makes more trouble. Like this news crew showed up one time and made it look like I was some gang boss or somethin'. Most people are scared of me at school, or my teachers give me shit about bein' a delinquent or whatever. Plus I'm always gettin' hauled in by the police for fightin' so it's hard on my mom. I dunno, lately I'm starting to think it ain't really worth it.

That's... oh. [Yeah. Nathan contemplates the ground.] You don't really act like that. You're always nice.

Well yeah 'cause you actually talk to me. Most people at home don't. I know I look pretty scary.

Isn't that kind of what you want? I mean, is it better having people afraid of you than having them make fun of you?

I dunno. It makes a lotta trouble for my mom, and my teachers all give me shit for it. I've been skippin' a lot this year so I think they're probably gonna hold me back and that kinda sucks, too.

You could act different. You could be the way you want to be, and then you wouldn't make trouble for anyone and people who don't like you are jerks and you don't need them.

[He looks really impressed with that answer, like its something he's been struggling to put into words but didn't know how.] Hey, that's not a bad idea. Thanks. You're a pretty cool guy, you know that?

You're welcome. [He can't help but be flattered. Someone thinks he's cool!] Y'know, you're the first person who's ever thought I'm cool.

Yeah, well you are. I like hangin' out with you and you give good advice. Pretty sure that counts as cool.
