School For Half Humans (IC)

[New Cinoth]

Seth hopped of Olov, laughing " Sorry bout that.This my friend is the afterlife." Seth waved his hand a the shadowy sky and the large crypt. "And this is my personal home. The Shadowed One gave it to me as a gift. Something about being a good apprentice and all that." Seth smiled and stuck his hand in the ash gray dirt. "Isn't this place just teeming with energy?" Seth smiled as he heard Olov's question about the whisphers. "Oh those are the people whos' shadows I have eaten. The Crypt will get bigger and better the more shadows I eat, mostly because it is made out of their souls, so try not to scratch it." Seth laughed happily and led the way to the door. "Come in, Come in! I'm pretty sure there is some food in stock somewhere." Seth walked in and came back carrying strange pale oranges. He promptly swallowed one, and tossed another to Olov, "They are alot better than they look. Trust me." Seth smiled as he considered how nice it was to finally be home.

OOC: the fruit is safe to eat.

"Where did these come from?" Olov asked mildly worried as he couldn't see anyway trees could survive in here. He was also worried about what was going to happen to all these animals. "I am curious if you eat someone's shadow after they are dead do they still end up here?" Olov looking around at Seth's house and kind of weirded out by some of it's creepiness. He also wondered what it looked like before Seth ate all those shadows at the school.

Seth smiled, "Well these just kind of spring up in some of the coffins. They taste just like oranges." Seth smiles and eats another one. "If I eat anyone or anything's shadow it becomes part of my wonderful little house." Seth begins to laugh, "I once ate this guy's shadow after he was dead for about two months. And as soon as I come into this place he begins to thank me from taking him away from some sort of fiery and bad place. Either way his soul is now put to use as mortar for my home!" Seth smiles, "Would you like to see the inside, it is quite a lovely place if you ask me. Oh and watch your step the normal laws of physics don't exactly apply here what is a hamless trip could nap your neck like a twig and what is an one hundred foot fall coul feel as if you merely stepped of the side walk, I really love this place don't you? It's so chaotic and funny." Seth smiles as stange black lightning lances across the sky." It's best to get inside now, because of the rain, you don't want to be caught out in the rain now do you?" Seth smiles and waits for Olov's response to his invitation.

OOC: In the shadow world Seth remains in shadow form at all times, it functions as his human form does since evrything is tainted.

"Ok, though I will pass on the oranges." Olov said, walking towards the odd house hoping he wouldn't trip. "So what is the rain like here? Also everything you eat appears here?" Olov asked wondering what a blight trees shadow would look like. "Are the shadows sometimes agressive or angry that you ate them? Can shadows even be dangerous to people who aren't shadows themselves?"

"Suit yourself." Seth swallowed the last orange and walked inside. He lit a stange brazier that burned with a white flame. "Isn't it funny how everything comes in only three colors: White, gray and black?" Seth smiled, "The rain is okay just like normal rain, well for shadows. I don't really know how it effects people. And to answer your question yes some are quite angry with me, I took them from paradise, well their paradise. But this on is soooo much better, don't you think?" Seth laughed as they passed a line of coffins. "Oh and yes, shadows can be very deadly, because here you are counted as a soul in a jar. Naturally the shadows that have been absorbed will try to either break that jar in hopes of gaining my favor or they will simply try to put themselves in the jar and leave you in their place. its easy to tell when they are trying, it should feel like a faint pulling sensation in your chest." Seth laughed, "You don't have much to fear though if you get thrown out I'll either get your body back or I'll just find you a new one." Seth continued laughing as the passed a room full of skeletons posed as if they were going about their daily lives. Seth smiled and pointed, "Those people have strong souls, they haven't gave in and joined my home..... but they will, no one can withstand the touch of this place forever, well unless you are a shadow that is." Seth smiled, "this place has some odd effects, for instance the longer I stay in the more powerful I get, however I also start becoming vulnerable to the sun. The oldest shadows hate even the tiniest candles. That's why the flames burn white, they don't hurt us like the sun and fire does." Seth laughed, "It's as if it's the color that hurts us instead of the light."
"Well make yourself at home, the rain should let up soon enough then we can return back to school." Seth smiled and sat down inside a large stone chamber dotted with grinning skulls.

"I never REALLY met her. She became the Blue Djinn of Babylon when I was about two." Ali said, sighing, "But before she became above good and evil, Dad said she was a wonderfully kind woman, who only used her magic to help others."

Ali smiled as she blushed, "You are quite lovely, if you don't mind me saying."

"I'm sorry..." she answered, clearly saddened by concept of split family. "...I'm sure she had to, though. She might have...I don't know..." Esperanza thought. "...been able to help more people that way." she concluded. That had to be it. He'd said she was a kind woman.


Esperanza grwe an even deeper red at that. "Well I, uh...don't mind, I suppose." She hastened to add a "Thank you" of course, and hastened then to find a suitable compliment to give him in return. "...and the rose was nice." she finally added.

Jinny stayed put, even though the shadow rain was falling around her; hardly blinking at the pitter-patter of inky black rain smacked against the vegatation. She was unaffected, as she was already insane, and absent-mindedly slipped through the portal-tree-thingamafuck and into the crypt. Without another word, she lay on the ground and curled into herself, clapping her hands over her ears and muttering to herself, still in her trance-like state. "Make the voices stop," she whispered. "Make them fucking stop!"

Seth turned confused at the sound of Jinny's voice. "I don't think I ate that," Seth smiled and walked up to Jinny, "Hello again Jinny, are you lost?" Seth laughed happily as he looked down on her, "you seem very lost indeed. Let me clarify things you are in the shadow realm.." Seth paused when he heard Jinny whisper about the voices, "Ahhh I see. I hate to break it to you but the only way to make them stop is to force them to." Seth smiled, "its easy to make them stop once you know how to force them to." Seth laughed and closed his eyes, the whispers in the crypt suddenly stopped. Seth looked down at her, "Better?"

OOC: The whispers are in her head, silly. XD

She kept rocking and muttering, obviously disconnected with the world. Something about a temple and fire...

Without much warning, she blinked and an odd clarity came into her eyes as she looked about the room. "What the hell is this," she said, nonchalantly. "And why was I not invited?" She looked up at Seth with her usual maniacal grin on her face, memory absent of her semi-catatonic state not five seconds ago.

[New Cinoth]

OOC: I figured, but Seth thought you meant the voices in the crypt.

Seth laughed, "Welcome back Jinny.. This place is my home, built out of every soul I have ever consumed. Most of them I also have killed myself." Serh grinned happily, "Sorry about not rolling out the red carpet for ya I thought you were still lost in space. So what brigs you into the shadow realm?"

"Cool~" she exclaimed, before tapping her chin, thinking about his question. Why was she in the shadow realm...? Maybe... "I want to pull a prank on somebody!" she plastered a shit-eating grin on her face in satisfaction. Yes.

Of course that was the answer.

Seth smiled, "Well you came to the right place. This is the place from which all nightmares come from." Seth laughed, "So what kind of prank are you in the mod for?" Seth smiled, "If it has anything to do with living animals or plant you might want to rethink it." Seth smiled and winked, "Although it wouldn't hurt to share the idea..." Seth looked back at Olov, "Just for laughs, _{not really}." Seth smiles, "so what did you have in mind?"

"I was thinking we could put beetles in the classroom," she said, grinning and chuckling evily and stroking an invisible handlebar mustache. "I just need to find the beetles." She chewed on the inside of her cheek.

Seth laughed, "That's brilliant!" He paused as an idea drifted into his mind. "What if I could get said beetles to grow in size, become violent, and drive them completely mad? All we need is a bit of my blood for that little trick!" Seth grinned impishly, "I also have a metal box to contain them in." Seth showed Jimny the metal box, "All we need is a class with a few students in it and the actual beetles!"

Jinny let loose a laugh that would put the Joker to shame, and grabbed the box, chewing on it. "Yes!" she screeched, still nomming on a corner of the metal container. "It looks just like cheese, and the plan is brilliant! Now, I say we drop them into fifth block math class. I know quite a few people in there who need a laugh or two!

"Especially that one Esperonza chick!"

Seth laughed, "this is gonna be great!" Seth smiled as he watched Jinny chew the box. Yup, that's one girl who has her priorities straight! Seth began to laugh, " it sure is nice having two mental unstable people think of pranks! By the way who is this Esperonza girl anyways?"

OOC: Seth has yet to meet her.

"She's some Spanish girl from Spain," she said through metal box corner. "And I don't just embrace my insanity! I feel it up, French kiss it, then buy it a drink!" She grinned, winking at him, and nommed on her box some more, making surprising dents in the corners. "It tastes like the moldy cheese you leave in your fridge when the power goes out for a week!"

Seth laughed, "insanity is easily the best master to be a servant of! It lets you get away with everything!" Seth grinned, "So I guess we're partners in crime now. Well no one can go it alone forever!" Seth laughed as Jinny chewed on the box, " just don't put a hole in it, we wouldn't want to lose our surprise before the fun starts."

She felt one of her teeth puncture the metal and her eyes went wide. "Oops," she said through metal box. "Too late." She let go of the box, surprised to find it stuck on her teeth. "I think we're going to need a new box.

"And a dentist."

Seth began to laugh, "well damn..... It's a good thing normal physics don't work here."Seth smiled and pushed the box upward and then sharply down, pulling it free from Jinny's teeth. "So why are we going after this Esperonza girl anyways?" Seth chuckled, "Did she accuse you of mur-" he laughed and shook his head. "Oops that's still probally a sore subject."

She laughed hysterically, rolling around on the floor and over some poor dead guy's legs. "Nope! She's just naive!" she cooed. "She reminds me of a bunny!

"So cute and cuddly and skin-able." She squealed and kicked her legs. "I could just chop her up and put her in a pot of boiling stew and eat her for dinner!" This was just dear Jinny's way of saying she was very innocent and adorable, that's all. She wasn't meaning any of this literally...Maybe.

Seth laughed hysterically, " great... Is she part rabbit? And if you cook her I get the shadow. Ok?" Seth laughed, "I think this will be an interesting partnership. Mostly because we both like pranks and don't care how bad it gonna hurt!" Seth began to laugh harder, "best of all no one will suspect us. One quick question. How are we gonna get in then out?"

She stopped rolling altogether, taking a minute to ponder his question. "I usually get in and out through the vents," she said, shrugging. "We can remove the grate and dump the beetles into the class room, then put the grate back, and watch." A familiar evil gleam came to her eye as she commenced her ridiculous rolling about.

"I don't think so," Jinny tapped her chin, imagining the Spanish girl with floppy bunny ears and a tail. Squealing, she rolled right into Seth's legs and bulldozed over him. "Well, you can't have mine!" she sing-songed, right before smacking her head on a wall. She sat up as she saw stars, and held her head. "Ouchies."

Seth laughed happily, " all right, but eventually I'll have to eat something's shadow..... Maybe the beetles?" Seth grinned crazily, "I wonder what she could be, have you met Esperonza? Because we might be able to piece it together from traits and appearances..... Well we can give it a good guess, right?"

[Kalvaycia]

Mira blushed redder, embarrassed to be given such a straightforward compliment. She would have said thank you again, but since Josef seemed to be dreaming she decided not to disturb him. Mira sat down beneath the tree that he was in, crossed her legs and closed her eyes lightly with her hands resting palm down on her knees. She pushed herself to block out most of the physical world, pulling a tendril of consciousness deeper into her mind where most of her thoughts were kept, a mental arena that was all her own to find peace within. Her breathing became soft and even, her face and body more relaxed.

Josef sat in a similar state inside his dream world, obviously thinking hard about something. After a few minutes of this he stood, before he leapt into the branches above, hopping from tree to tree. He enjoyed doing this to his heart's content inside his dream world forest, very much similar to the one outside his mind, near the school. It felt natural to be doing it, his tail flowing behind him and to feel the wind rushing through his hair and the fur that reached just short of his wrists. Eventually he stopped, dropping down onto a gargantuan pile of catfish, reaching out for the first one and devouring it quickly. After he finished this small feast, he decided to go ahead with his plan, blinking slowly and opening his eyes to be met with the sight of the grass below the branch he perched upon. He extended a branch of his conscience slowly, before it connected with the outermost borders of Mira's own mind. He spoke nervously, as was quite obvious. Hey, Mira...this might be kind of early, but...um...I really like you and I was uh...I was wondering...I was wondering if you'd maybe...like to do something...sometime?

Mira, being somewhat lost in her inner world, didn't hear anything going on beyond it. As such she was made completely oblivious to the words that Josef said, instead walking quietly through the forested realms of her own mind, without a clue that anything had changed outside of them. Mira remained in that state for nearly a day, currently not quite back to herself but starting to wake.
