Hey all, just so everyone's aware I haven't been well these past few days which is why I haven't posted. I'm gonna get something up on the IC today but if my posts seem slow it's cause I'm still not at 100%.

Bio
This account is pretty inactive now. But I pop on from time to time to see if anything of interest pops up. I tend to drop out of things with writers block if I find myself lacking in interest, but do try to keep things long=term. Been offline for most of the last 12 months but hoping I might soon find something to get me back in that RP saddle.

[color=0072bc]"I mean changing shape does sound interesting. But I do believe I should be careful what I wish for, can it be more daunting than what I've already seen here?" Irvine momentarily breaks his line of sight to glance round the field once more almost forgetting what he was doing. The next moment he'd snapped his head back to catch the falling darkness in place. "Stupid..." he mumbles to himself as he lowers his gaze slowly, the shade slowly lowering as it rested atop Epsilon's head and took shape of its own volition. "There, easy." Irvine said triumphantly to himself.
"So a uhhh, demon huh? I-I guess that's kind of normal all things considered. There's more documented cases of your kind then most of the people? Things? That are here." When the demon and Epsilon had introduced themselves he felt somewhat inclined to follow suit. "Irvine, I'm Irvine." He forced a smile followed by a short nervous laugh. As he does so the shadow hood re-emerges over his head as his attention is momentarily drawn to someone singing. At best he believed what some would class a 'cringe worthy' he didn't really understand the term but to a certain extent understood some related it to strange public behaviour, if a collection of non-normal entities could really be classed as a public gathering.
When Epsilon made her suggestion shook his head. "Ha! Yeah... I guess that's another joke?" Irvine asked. "Most vampires I've met haven't exactly been the nicest bunch." Irvine contemplated the option of 'blood test' to himself before continuing. "Sometimes it's nice to not know the answers. Sometimes ignorance of what you could be, can protect you from the monster that maybe you are."

As Lance walked through the village with Tawny the way villagers were avoiding them was becoming steadily more apparent. It wasn't as though he could convince them that the wolf was no threat to them, heck he didn't even believe that himself. "We need to find something... something that will help everyone be not so on edge with each other. I don't know if it's fear, excitement or a mixture of the two, but everyone seems to be so different." Lance stops and turns towards Tawny. "Even if it's not on the surface. So, what made you pick the spear?" Lance wasn't even sure why he was asking, there might not of even been an answer to that question.

"...Sorry?" Irvine responds to being told to lighten up. "The whole social game isn't really something I'm good at. But being alone does that I guess." He sighs, more to himself then the situation. "I can only make shapes, I don't think I can change shape. But I'll keep that in mind... Wait, do you change shapes?" Irvine asked as he tilted his head once more. This person seemed to have a much more exciting life than he if boredom was the true reason they'd come here, or were they just hiding their reason?
When he was offered a cigarette Irvine paused staring for a moment. Such an offer was definitely hard to find in the city, but once he reached out with his hand his own shadow again reacted as it swatted him. Somewhat annoyed Irvine responds "I guess not." Before he could comment once more about anything related to his shadow he heard a voice, whispering, but from where? Irvine looked over his shoulder seeing nought there as he hears the girl give her answer to what he'd heard he could only assume he wasn't hearing things.
"Chaos is bound to win in the end every time, so why fear it?" Irvine responds in kind. "Before light came the darkness reigned and as it arrives the darkness merely hides. Thus once the light is gone the dark returns and within it I shall thrive." Irvine shook his head. "Though I do believe such times are no where near their arrival. You should show yourself."
Irvine thought for a moment as his attention returned to his original conversation. "Not sure I'd call making a hood fancy,
but if you want one... consider it a thank you? For trying to make the situation less unbearable." Irvine stepped to the side as he stared at the shadow being cast by Epsilon he motions upward with his head. "Gonna need you to try and stay still,
much harder to do it for others than it is for myself but once it's there it doesn't take much to hold it in place..." Irvine stepped back in front of Epsilon as the thin layer of darkness loomed in the air, against lights will. "Just say the word and its done." His line of sight was looking above Epsilon as though holding the shade with his stare. "Alternatively I could just drop it..."

Irvine flinched at the sound of an approaching voice, this definitely was not what he had in mind for when he came here. Social interaction was not exactly a strong suit for him, but typically it wasn't something that bothered him. "P-Parole officer?" Irvine tilted his head to one side in thought. "Fortunately, I'm not that bad at what I do to get by. Take what you need, what not you want." Irvine shifted his right hand on his rucksack strap trying to get a tighter grip, it didn't feel like it was going to hold for much longer. "So long as you keep your head reasonably down, the law won't come looking for you."
Having answered the first question it only seemed what most would class as 'polite' to address the second. "Aside not knowing where the heck I am? Not much is the matter, apart from maybe the 'stuff of legend' that are standing on this field." Irvine sighed. "I had come to accept that not all thing is the world are what society would call 'normal' didn't know how not normal can get." As was clear from most of the conversation earlier it was apparent that his ability to pick up on sarcastic remarks weren't so good. "The hood is merely in place to not draw attention, but I suppose that would only work in the city. Clearly it didn't work, so it really serves no purpose." On making that point the hood thinned as it faded from existence.
Irvine was in half a mind to walk away after making his points. However as he glanced around the field and the others that had gathered there he decided he fancied his chances much more where he currently stood. "So I've answered your questions. Why did you come here?" Irvine motions to blow smoke away from himself before his shadow forms at his shoulder almost as a thin fan as it wafts it away from his vicinity. He shook his head in reaction "Stop." and with that the fan like shape dissipated back into the air. "It can't always be controlled, hence here we are."

Irvine navigated the back alleys of the town he most frequented as he looked down to the invitation letter. How their messenger had been able to locate him despite his constant movement made him question the integrity of the locals in his head. Though it would do him no benefit to seek payback upon them, how did he even get invited to this place anyhow? The 'Ordinary Mythical Academy' the letter appeared official enough so it was definitely worth checking out, they clearly at least had some knowledge of his lack of social skills, the messenger had merely handed him the envelop and then left without explanation. Irvine pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind as he adjusted the battered bag strap for the rucksack bearing what few possessions he owned. A field was the designated meeting spot for those who couldn't fly... a field, an open space with little to no objects that would cast any shadows apart from those stood in it. Just the idea of being out in the open was discomforting enough, Irvine tried not to think of how many people might be there, or if there'd be anyone similar to himself.
With walking being his only method of getting there Irvine have been travelling for some time before the destination was in sight. According to the letter the headmaster would be meeting the students that had gathered there to take them to the academy. The location of the Academy itself was clearly nowhere reachable on foot, especially with the ability of flight being a prerequisite of getting their alone. Perhaps however there was other means than flight? Well even if there was Irvine probably didn't have the means of using such a method. Surely that would be why the headmaster would be meeting those that head to the field after all. Reaching the final stretch before the field Irvine once again pulled the strap of his bag trying to shift its position as the material strained rubbing against his shoulder.
By the time he had made it over to the field it would appear that some students had already gathered at the meeting point. This open space was an even more unwelcome location than what he had previously imagined. There was too much, well, openness the only light struck things were those that were there, some of which weren't even human. "This was a dumb idea..." Irvine mumbled to himself as he turned to leave. Before him however stood a silhouette of himself as he glanced behind him to see the sun at his back he sighed. "We don't need their help, we're fine as we are, we make ends meet." Irvine exclaimed, but the silhouette of himself simply shook its head in disagreement before pushing him. "If you insist, just remember that I didn't want this." Irvine turned again to face back towards the field as his own shadowed encroached and hung over him against the will of the light. The shadow almost seemed to become a more dense object as it shrouded over him like a heavy cloaks hood. All but his mouth hidden behind a shield of darkness, Irvine slowly approached the others gathered on the field.

"Well if the solution is to keep them apart for a while that should be pretty straight forward on the Lucas front. Not so sure about the other though." Lance whispers to Tawny as they make their way toward the village. Once they arrived and came to a stop Lance got up as he tapped Tawny on the shoulder. "Time to take a look around I guess?" asking rather than stating as he gets down from the wagon. As he received the pouch of coins from Donny he smiled slightly as he stated a short. "Thank you." Before heading off to find somewhere to try and spend the recently acquired coin.

"Only when standing before the Abyss will the true cowards show their hand." Lance mumbled, he wasn't entirely sure what he himself had meant and he felt thankful that he'd been quiet enough to keep it to himself as Donny ranted in his general vicinity. Seeing the others return Lance scooted his feet back toward himself as Tawny and Ash had joined him on the wagon. "Welcome back, I assume the situation is somewhat defused now?"
