Hugo, the Magic Man, stood and smoked, watching students scurrying about the courtyard, trying to get to wherever they were going. Most didn't look very interesting, despite all being some sort of strange monster, and he caught sight of at least one small dragon, scales shimmering in the light as it wandered about. A cloud of pink and green erupted from the end of the pipe with each puff and settled at the ground around his feet.

Quietly, he spoke to himself. There was no force to it, no sense of urgency - just a sort of floating, wandering feeling that matched his choice of music at the moment, and a sense of blackness.

"Bright, shining brilliance, the fury of a dying star,
A violent end to a gentle giver of life.
Yet in all its glory and heat, it remains softer,
And more beautiful than all the things of this world."

More words followed in free verse, lacking form, but maintaining rhythm and rising in feeling. The smoke swirled upwards around him, shifting in color and density, until he was completely engulfed.

"Like the star screaming out into the heavens,
I am alone.
But, like the star, desolation turns to a new beginning,
A new cycle. Shining bright once more, the star
Gathers strength, power from those around it..."

The smoke dissipated and Hugo was completely gone. Where he went, nobody saw. In the back of his mind, though, he found himself searching for his 'orbital family', so to speak, which would determine his landing point. Glowing feelings of potential friends surrounded his mind, and he drifted in the direction of one brighter cluster, almost completely unaware of what he was doing, as he had gotten lost in the music.

Noticed that most of the people are standing around wait for sky to show up.

Cindy looks at the masked man and smiles

[Neko of Death]

Skykar walked across the courtyard and ove to behind the gym.

[Rikeno]

"So I see everyone is here?" the black mask morphed repeated into multiple expressions.

[Neko of Death]

Skylar stared intently at the changing mask.

[Rikeno]

"anyone else?" the mask slowly begins to stop.

[Azereiah]

"...And ignites once more."

At the end of the verse, with a puff of green and pink smoke and a soft 'pop', Hugo appeared behind the gym. Or, more precisely, ten feet in the air behind the gym, face-down as though he had been standing up sideways. Gravity took over and he crashed to the ground with a solid thump. Ouch.

"...Damn it."

[Rikeno]

'Well then? So I gathered everyone here.. To.." My voice gives out and my body begins to shake... Nervousness takes over. I try to mouth out something but I forget to take my mask off.

[Neko of Death]

"Are you ok?" Skylar asked Hugo extending her hand to help him up. Her attention was then drawn back to the nervous creature that summoned them all there.

[Blueflame]

@Rikeno@bluebunny@DewShine885@Neko of Death"I don-ACK ah" shadow said as he clutched his head in pain as he fell to one knee. The smoke rising from his back was starting to solidify. Sickening cracking noises could be heard coming from shadow. "No RuN ARGH HUH" shadow managed to say as he started to change. He forgot to check the time he was transforming into the shadow.

[Azereiah]

Hugo stands up with Skylar's help and dusts himself off. His glasses are cracked, but still functional. He looks around and notices what he just did in front of a small crowd, and goes bright red.

"Uhm... Yeah. Sorry 'bout that, not sure what just happened."

There's some sort of gathering, apparently. Looks interesting, he thinks to himself.

"...May I join in?"

Hugo then notices the shadowy creature changing form before him. Smells like danger.

[DewShine885]

"I honestly am so confused what is happening"

[Neko of Death]

Skylar looked at shadow in slight terror but tried to hide her fear.

[Azereiah]

A look of pure interest and curiosity came over Hugo's face as he watched Shadow. This would be interesting.

"Oh, my... So, does anyone want to see what happens next?"

[Rikeno]

I manage to shatter my mask and run over to Shadow and kiss him on the lips, hoping that would stop him. "I'm sorry..." I quickly wrapped my tentacles around Shadow and restrained him back
