Hey Petit?

Have any of your uh... brood... thingy... gone missing?

I keep spotting one of the little dudes around here. Always scuttles all hidey someplace before I can see it well though.

	Nope, I mean, not that I know of, Toto's sitting on my head while I type, and Scarecrow's probably still with the pirates, those are the only two I know of being here. Uh, try a candle, and just emoting more strongly. They like fire, at least, I haven't met one yet who didn't, and they feed off emotions. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Dude. I can't NOT emote strongly. I got plenty of candles though. What's it doing here? Is it lost? Should I like... leave catfood out or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know, I mean, it might be, sure, but it didn't come looking for me first. How long have you been noticing it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Um... a while now honestly. Since not too long after I got here. I thought at first, cuz I'd only see it out of the corner of my eye or while I was singing, it might be one of those... like... y'know how sometimes you think you see something that used to be around a lot and isn't anymore? I thought it was like that. Like, I used to have a dog about that size when she was a puppy sooooo I figured it was remembering stuff, y'know?

	Okay, you just explained exactly what having a Shadow is like. I think it probably followed you here man, you just didn't know what it was before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought they only existed in this world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They're all over the place back home, it's just that most people don't know they're there.

Let me see if I can explain.

My home universe is sort of a pocket dimension to theirs, as in, I can go to their side of things and walk from Louisana to Moscow in about ten minutes, maybe. Things here take up less space there, if that makes any sense.

They cross back and forth because they feed off all the stuff we generate, emotional and electrical impulses, all of that stuff, it's a wholly symbiotic relationship, because without them there to feed off the excess, it would build up and crack our minds. With me so far?

	Oh yeah. Totally. ...but it sort of does that to me anyway, though, Petit. Ain't that what bipolar is kinda? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eh, kind of.

What I meant was that it would sort of be too much and to save our system the brain would shut down on any and all emotional impulses, flatline.

Bipolar is more like... uh... well, to a Shadow that's even more enticing than most people I think, because there's more there to feed off of. And honestly? If you didn't have one, you'd be even worse off.

	oh. shit. So this one's not lost or something? He like, lives with me? How come he's all hidey and not sitting on my head or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prettylilbunny 2008-03-20 05:51 am UTC (link)
	I guess so? And maybe it's just because it's used to not being seen and doesn't really know what to do now that you can see it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	:\ I don't wanna scare him Petit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prettylilbunny 2008-03-20 05:55 am UTC (link)
	Well, like I said, candle, just emote, maybe try staying calm? They have a language, but most of it's emotional tags and images. Uh, maybe try projecting thought? That's the best I can do, since even I only know a handful of their actual words and damned if I can pronounce them without being recovering from a chest-cold or something.

	...okay. Do they like music? Think he might come out if I sing for him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prettylilbunny 2008-03-20 05:58 am UTC (link)
	It's worth a shot anyway. And the ancient ones, the Elders, they're a lot more like music than the rest of the brood. They run deeper both in pitch and in intensity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miniver 2008-03-20 05:59 am UTC (link)
	....wait so this thing maybe thinks I'm his mom or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prettylilbunny 2008-03-20 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Not parent so much as home. If that makes any sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miniver 2008-03-20 06:02 am UTC (link)
	.......aww! Can I name him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prettylilbunny 2008-03-20 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Sure. Though, they're pretty much like cats, doesn't matter what you name them, they'll only answer when they want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miniver 2008-03-20 06:07 am UTC (link)
	Well... it might... make him feel more welcome or something. Everyone oughta have a home that wants them, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	prettylilbunny 2008-03-20 06:19 am UTC (link)
	Exactly, and it sounds like it's been there for a while, just has to get used to the changeover, being able to be seen. (Reply to this) (Parent)
