Shadow was sitting in Castle town's bar, currently drinking a lot more than he probably should have. "Hey barkeep! anuthr' mug for the sorrow and pain to leave me th' hell alone!" he slurred, banging his mug on the table. At the moment he was disguised as the Hero of Time (Although a much older and non "Shade-y" version). He had been covering for that Link ever since the guy decided he was gonna get himself killed. Telma sighed and walked over to him, oblivious that he was masquerading as Link at the moment.

"Honey, you've had enough to drink tonight. Now are you going to pay and leave to enjoy the festivities, or do I need to call in some help from someone [i]not[/i] drunk off their ass!"

Shadow frowned, but got up to leave anyways. After stumbling around town for an hour with no real reason to be there, he saw something glowing in his peripheral vision and turned, only to yell out in surprise and run away. "How could this day get any worse!" he muttered, hoping she hadn't seen him.

Ten seconds later he had his answer as his body began morphing against his will into the newest generation of The Hero. He sighed and frowned again. "Well that's just great! Another person who gets to be a racist bigot towards Shadows just because I don't originate from this world. Damn Hylian bastards! Damn Mirror of Shadows!" as he went on to curse other things, getting more and more sailor-like with his choice of words, he noticed it start to rain.

"F**k! The only way this could get worse is if I run into someone who recognizes me, or can sense shadow magic!" Running to the nearest Tavern, which just so happened to be the Magtail Fort, he dried himself near the fire until he heard the names of perhaps the only two beings who would be able to recognize his powers immediately.

"Cucco Crap!" he breathed as he ran outside into the rain again. This was really not his day! As luck would have it, he ran into a certain glowing blue fairy at this point and once again cursed his luck. "This is just not my day!" he muttered as he waited for the familiar "Hey, Listen!" accompanied by something completely obvious like "You ran into me you jerk!"

And that was only if she didn't recognize him!
