Time Compression is just...awful? [ACTION]

[eiusumbra]

[Here's Shadow, staring out the window in the hallways. Or it seems that he is, but he's actually looking at his reflection in the glass, still so confused. Just yesterday he was just slightly over three feet tall and a hedgehog, and now a serious growth spur occured.

Oh, right. Also human

A gloved hand goes through his hair. Hair. And these new clothes. What...is he supposed to do with clothes? Humans and their need to cover up.

It's obviously still him, if anyone knows him and bothers to look at the signs.]



...great.




(ooc: Shadow is a victim of Time Compression, and is now human.)

Er - somethin' the matter, mate...?

[Ron's passing through the hall on his way to his next class when he comes across the lone person standing there.]

[eiusumbra]

[Turns to the voice, only barely recognizing him as a cadet. Folds his arms.]

Everything. It's none of your concern, though.

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Why d'you say that?

[eiusumbra]

Because it's the truth.

Shouldn't you be going to class, cadet?

[lionizations.livejournal.com]

Where d'you reckon I was headed, then?

[Ron rolls his eyes.]

Course I was on my way to class.

[eiusumbra]

Then don't stop on my behalf.

[subjected]

[ It's safe to say that in walking the halls, Claire has recently grown even more alert than how she normally is, which... is probably the only reason Shadow catches her eye- there's something familiar-seeming about him, causing her to slow her stride, studying him with a curious but still-serious gaze... ]

[eiusumbra]

[At the footsteps that slowed down, Shadow turns his attention to Lightning, seeing the recognition in her eyes, and confusion.]

I'll give you two guesses.

[subjected]

[ Claire frowns slightly as she stares at him- yeah, she recognizes some of those features, but it's kind of awkward to think something so fantastical, and to guess when she hates being wrong. The fact that he said something like that at all helps, though. ]

... Shadow?

[eiusumbra]

[A nod is given in confirmation. See, there is nothing wrong with guessing.]

[subjected]

Prove it.

[ Not defensive or angry here, but she's absolutely serious all the same. After everything else she's weathered recently, her 'concern' is probably justified. Sorry, Shadow. ]

[eiusumbra]

[Understandable.]

SeeD number eight three four two five. Shadow the Hedgehog. Specialization: Intelligence.

[Pauses a moment to cross his arms.]

You're insistent on wanting to know why my specialization isn't Firearms.

[subjected]

[ ... Fair enough. Claire turns to lean on the wall, her arms crossed. She looks at him for just a moment longer, but then idly turns her gaze away instead. ]

Time compression? Or something else?

[werepanther]

[That's a face he hasn't seen. Tom blinks, stuffing his hands in his pocket as he glances over at Shadow.]

... Need any help?

[eiusumbra]

[Turns to Tom. So he doesn't recognize him.]

I know my way around.

[werepanther]

[Give him a minute....]

Sh-Shadow? Is that really you?

[eiusumbra]

[Took him that long?]

Yes.

[werepanther]

Why didn't you tell me you were a were-hedgehog, man? [He heads over and affectionately pats Shadow on the back. Guess who jumped to the wrong conclusion?] We could've made a club!

[eiusumbra]

I'm not a were-hedgehog. [Bats away that hand. Stop that!] A club? Ridiculous.

[sweetapple-seed.livejournal.com]

Well hey there!

[]

Lookin' pretty entranced by something - care to share with little ol' Applejack?

[eiusumbra]

'That accent is grating.'

[Looks over to her, narrowing his red eyes.]

Do I look like the sharing type?

[sweetapple-seed.livejournal.com]

We-ell, you know what they all say about books and their covers and all - I'm not gonna go and make that kind of snap judgement, no siree. 'sides, if there's something worth looking at out there, I wanna know what to look for!

[eiusumbra]

It's none of your business, cadet.

[sweetapple-seed.livejournal.com]

Well, ain't you ever such the friendly type?

[eiusumbra]

[Clenches his jaw before turning his attention back to the window.]

Go waste someone else's time.
