<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

Ah, I understand. Too emotional for public discussion.
*Winks knowingly with a glance around the cabin*

<Snipped quote by TruckKun>

Why... here?
*Motions to the distorted bubble of chaos around us*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

NAOMI: I've known you for less than a day, Vec. Ask me when the Devil's work's done.

*With a huff, she sinks into her chair and closes her eyes.*

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Chuckles*
Of course.
*Leans forward on my elbows and watches throughout the cabin, with no discernable hurry*

<Snipped quote by Host>

Don't know. Weird shadows. I travel through shadows. Ended up here
*Shrugs*

*Crosses my arms less patiently and after a few minutes, starts scribbling on a notepad*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*The remainder of the flight is about an hour and a half; this aircraft must be moving at over 4,000 miles per hour, a reasonable estimate given how the vehicle shot out of the atmosphere like an ICBM. Around the last fifteen minutes, the earmuffs go back on as the craft rapidly descends, the first licks of reentry plasma at the window quickly turning into an all-consuming inferno before the hull panels turn transparent again for safety. Gravity returns abruptly as the craft levels out from a dead plunge into a glide, and it hits the runway with a squeal of reversing engines and a hiss of rain vaporizing on the superheated hull.*

*The robot makes another round.*

ROBOT: Please remember to take all carry-on luggage and exit in an orderly fashion. Exercise caution when opening overhead compartments, as contents may have moved during flight. Thank you for flying with us!

<Snipped quote by TruckKun>

*Wordlessly, stretches sideways until my hands reach my right knee and my back clicks with a pop*
...
*Steps toward the edge of the bubble and runs my hand against it*

<Snipped quote by Host>
*The bubble is perfectly smooth, but it is a weird feeling as it feels like it has no friction *

This is what I can do, shadows into reality, I can make shadows into gears, swords, bows that don't need arrows, because I can make them, Kusarigamas
*As I say the item I make it in my hand with a flick of my wrist, then I give it a little toss, and as it comes down, I catch it, give it a twirl and I dissolve it mid twirl*
I can travel through and between shadows, the dark is basically my domain.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Really? Why do they do it that way? It seems like a waste.

<Snipped quote by TruckKun>

Dark...
*Tilts my head and reaches for your hand*
Are you bad? Or good?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Keeps their babies safe as they grow up. The species they are from all have a form of inside baby pouch.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

That's a really bad way to protect them. Now both die if the mother gets killed.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Instinctively flinches back, then starts pacing *
Good, I like to think, there are some mornings that I don't know. That I wonder if all the people who I’ve killed, deserved to die, or if they could’ve been changed and redeemed, given a second chance. Then there are days that I regret not killing them sooner, and that because I didn't then they hurt more people. There are usually 2 kinds of people hiding in the darkness, those that hide in it out of safety, and those that hide in it to hurt others. Me, I’m both I guess but I don't really know. I do my best but is it enough, is it too much?
*Shrugs slightly fustratedly then sighs and turns to face them*
Who’s to say?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Well… actually.
*scratches my chin*
If the parent feels like it’s in imminent danger, it may release the baby to let itself live.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Could it get away quickly enough?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Most of the time, yes.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

You come from a strange place.
*Shrugs*
Did you want to hunt something?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I don’t think that’d be something I would like to do now. Maybe we can head back. It was nice viewing the animals

<Snipped quote by TruckKun>

*Presses hard against the shadow barrier with my finger tips*
Who should live? Who—die? How—
*Grits my teeth and winces*
—do you tell?
