Re: PTSD and You.

[Shadow was lurking in a shadow step, climbing out after a minute or two to see who was around. He'd been prompted by Shiro to go but he wasn't even sure what it meant to have PSTD, but he was told once he'd had it.

So he sits on a chair looking very uncomfortable, working out what the word meant. It was post traumatic stress disorder. Did he have stress? Yes, over being a captive for a few years, and forcibly merged with his mentor and trying to traverse a mental obstacle course that nobody understood.

He missed him selves, his human half and Orion. He saw them both as separate people, as opposed to him, components of him. He missed the ability to see ether of them, to look down at Matt's face and see his eyes light up when he figured something out, or to see Orion looking down at him with pride.

It's an empty feeling, and confusing. But mostly he just feels the pain and loss of losing his family to the villains who needed to add his power to their ranks. Or the steps they took to try and mold him into one of their own. That's what the word meant.

He ended up pulling his legs up to his chest and hugging them, ears turning back the more he thought about it.

There was way too much to unpack here.]

	[ After nine months and change, it's difficult to remember every face of every person that passes by here. Hard to forget a black lion guy though and although Aidan can't quite remember, he sorta seems familiar. It's not quite staring. It's a lot of stolen thoughtful glances. That's okay, right? Not super rude? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He meets eyes with this guy and regards him with a wary expression. This lion 'guy' didn't feel comfortable with this weird guy glancing at him. Weeeeeeirdo.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Actually getting eye contact draws his attention to the fact that yes, he's kind of staring. ] Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What're you lookin' at me for? [Shadow is totally unfamiliar with this guy, but he's looking at him like he's seen him before. Duo told him he'd been here before.] You don't know me, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-14 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	I dunno. You look kinda familiar - lots of people passin' through here, though. Could be mixin' you up with someone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orions_shadow 2017-05-14 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	Who was this 'someone else'? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-15 10:49 am UTC (link)
	Eh, some guy. He wasn't around for long an' we weren't close or nothin'. This was awhile back too, I could be rememberin' wrong. Nothin' you need to worry 'bout, either way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orions_shadow 2017-05-15 10:57 am UTC (link)
	Was he a black lion? Cos' he coulda been me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-15 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Not that it matters much if you don't remember it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orions_shadow 2017-05-15 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	Matters to me that I've been a prisoner for months and months without knowing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-16 08:30 am UTC (link)
	You could ask around - maybe someone else knew you back then? We just kinda met in passin'... and by now, that makes you one of hundreds of people, probably. I've been here for nine months already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One guy recognizes me. [And somewhere over the fourth wall someone is wondering what is up with that banana.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-17 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Yeah? Who's that? [ The banana is a yellow zucchini. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orions_shadow 2017-05-17 07:15 am UTC (link)
	I think his name is Duo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-17 07:16 am UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, I know that guy! He's been here forever - longer than me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orions_shadow 2017-05-17 07:17 am UTC (link)
	He says he seen me before. So yeah. [He sits on his haunches, pressing his paws against the chair and scratching his claws into it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-19 07:46 am UTC (link)
	Then he'd know, for sure. [ Nodding. ] Sorry 'bout earlier. I was just tryin' to figure out where I'd seen you before or if I was mixin' you up with someone else. I didn't mean to stare or nothin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orions_shadow 2017-05-19 07:52 am UTC (link)
	S'fine. It's not like I don't stick out. [Don't worry, he doesn't care.] If you're here you must have a sad traumatic backstory. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-05-19 07:55 am UTC (link)
	I dunno 'bout that. I've done some stuff that keeps me up some nights, but it ain't like I got all that much to complain about. [ He is missing two fingers on his right hand - ring and pinkie - which becomes more obvious when he lifts his plastic mug of coffee to take a drink. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	orions_shadow 2017-05-19 08:28 am UTC (link)
	[Ouch. He squints his eyes at the man and snorts. He notices the missing fingers, so he doesn't believe that answer.] Then why show up here? (Reply to this) (Parent)
