Good morning/afternoon/evening!
If you are reading this, then for some reason you want to learn a little bit about the absolute anomaly that is me.
A few important things to note are:
- I am sometimes a bit slow for posting, though sometimes I will almost immediately respond.
- I have absolutely no interest in Romance. This has changed, but only for certain circumstances. It depends!
- I enjoy making very overcomplicated worlds to share with people, like you!
- I enjoy really heavy and psychological themes, but I will do lighter ones as well.
That's pretty much all I think you need to know, but if you want to you can send me a PM! I don't bite...
Mostly.

The gate is open.
(Posted!)
(Posted!)
It was calm in Shirubashedo's halls, classes were in session, and students who didn't have lectures at the time were light in terms of foot traffic.
The quiet was unsettling. It was almost as if the normal buzz of the school was dampened, muffled. Shadows seemed to shift, air growing, twisting into a strange mist of heat and cold, as light and dark danced in the corner of one's vision. Space seemed to stretch as the halls started to extend and wind and branch, as reflections distorted, glass becoming windows into somewhere dark and twisted...
The gate has opened.
Lights flicker overhead before it cuts out, and darkness consumes the lecture halls. An aura of dread, of fear, permeates the space... as every person disappears in a split second. Four remain in this labyrinthine copy of the school. This is no longer the world they recognize.

The lights go out, and the lecture hall around them is silent. She blinked a few times, their eyes getting a bit more acclimated to the darkness as the initial shock of the situation started to fade.
She looked around, everyone was gone... she was alone.
"U-uhm... h-hello? Is anyone still... here?"
Their voice was shaky as she stood from her chair. She still had her backpack, which was good, but what was more concerning was the current predicament that she found themself in... A dark and hazy mist swirled about her feet as she walked... the creepy vibe of the darkness wasn't helping their anxiety in the slightest...
What was going on?
Their footsteps didn't seem to make any sound, the world seemed to shift and distort as she moved... When she stepped into the hall it looked like she was in a maze corridor, winding and endless.
"Hello!? Is anyone there? I really don't wanna be in this horror movie shit!"
She shouted into the long hall... hoping that something would answer back...
Whispers.
They don't sound... human.
Next post to be expected within 2 days!
Post out now! Apologies for the wait.
No loose ends, you understand? We can't have them poking around. Not with tensions as high as they are.
♫
Shinjuku District
♫
Morning turned to midday, the sun an eternal reminder of the waning time remaining in the day. So little time, so little freedom. Day in and day out, humans streamed through their lives like mindless drones...
The cycle had to be broken somehow. There was a certain beauty in terror after all...
Reflections seem to ripple like water, as the glass of the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower's top floor shattered, as a person threw themselves out of it, a hammer in hand.
A feeling of weightlessness before the sudden end. Another loose end tied. Another predecessor, another failure, gone.
He stands at the edge of the crowd, the gruesome scene obscured by morbidly curious passersby. Turning away, none noticed him. A shadow in the corner of one's eye...
The boots didn't make a sound this time, his form cracking, fragmenting. The man of the mask pushed onward.
On to the next.

Chihiro's classes could have gone better, but that feeling of being followed, stalked... it stayed. It made it hard to pay attention during lectures sure, but that didn't mean she didn't try. Walking down the halls of Shirubashedo Academy was something she did almost every day, but it didn't feel the same as it always did... There was a certain heaviness in the air, like someone had died here...
She reached the door, opening it to the midday streets of the Shinjuku district, one of the large screens on the buildings displaying news...
Another suicide.
She didn't know the victim by any means, but it still hurt. Especially after...
No. No, don't think about it. You don't want to open up old wounds.
She shook her head, walking in the opposite direction of the billboard screen. She looked in the window's reflection as she passed...
Was that really her? Or was that what she made themself see? The reflection rippled slightly, as she stopped by a small cafe. She needed to take a load off. All this worry wasn't healthy, it couldn't be. But still, the heaviness in her heart stayed... What the hell was wrong with her?
She walked up to the counter of the small establishment, taking a precursory glance toward the menu written on a chalkboard hanging on the back wall.
"Konnichiwa... Uhm... I'll just get some boba tea please."
She placed the yen on the counter, stepping away to let whoever was next in line order. She didn't trust many people in most cases, but it felt as if that was multiplied... Like she was going to be revealed...
A low sigh, then walked over to the bathroom. She didn't really know why, but it would probably do her some good to be in front of an actual mirror, not relying on the reflections of the window panes that line the streets of this city...
When she walked in, it was dead silent. As if the entire room were soundproofed, the noise from the main room of the store disappeared completely... Nothing but the soft sound of clinking glass. As she approached the mirror, it showed her reflection. It showed Chihiro.
But the mirror was shifting. Flowing. Like it was some kind of liquid.
She felt something behind her, the feeling that she had been stalked by... it was here. She turned but didn't see anything... their gaze glanced to the mirror again, before she jumped back.
A wolf stared back from the other side of the mirror.
She rushed out of the restroom, back to the main storefront. Did she have schizophrenia now or something? A lot of creepy shit was going on...
It was the lunch rush now... students coming down the sidewalks and streets, most looking a their phones, the news was definitely on the minds of a lot of people... Though no one seemed to want to do anything about it...
@Baphomini@Kronshi I invite you to take a bit of creative liberty with this one. This bit is not so much to get you together, but more your character becoming aware of strange things that they haven't noticed before. If that involves characters interacting, so be it. He stated Cold and Dark as those who were nearby, not those were the two He was actively trying to bring together.
Dawn breaks over the towering buildings of Neo-Tokyo, morning sunlight streaming through windows and reflecting through the opulent city like reflections in a mirror. People already populated the streets, the lifeblood of this place, ever-moving like a heart pumping blood throughout the body. Chatter radiates through the air, a steady pulse of the dark collective heart of the city.
If only they knew.
News plays on one of the large screens overlooking Shibuya Central Street, headlines playing non-stop. A feeling of darkness hung in the space, dispite the brilliant lights and bright sunlight.
Light cannot exist without darkness, and vice versa. Integral and innate balance.
The city seems to freeze, caught in time for merely a second, stretched into infinity.
Click. Clack.
The sound of The Masked Man's boots against the concrete pavement echoed, reverberating off the glass, walking past the humans caught in time around him. People who he knows the true sides of.
Monsters. All of them. Caught between the facade of normalcy, and following those around them blindly like sheep.
He kept walking. He had places to be, and didn't want to spend any more time than needed among these husks called humanity. Two of them were near, his chosen.
Cold and Dark... Let's see if we can pull a few strings, shall we? The other two will be more troublesome... Doesn't matter that the torii gates were sealed, it helped that humans were stupid enough to mass-produce the backdoor to the other realm. Human nature is such an interesting thing...
A gloved hand raised to his mask, as his form fractured and broke, returning the world to its normal flow. No one knew. No one cared. Typical.
@Baphomini@Kronshi@Girlie Go Boom
Cla-clack. Cla-clack.
The trains rhythmic travel was something she was familiar with, but that feeling of dread still stayed, her eyes glued to the window, the city blurring past as they passed, yet every tunnel, their reflection stared back.
That wasnt her.
She could feel something watching them, the dark felt like it was closing in, circling. It was like some kind of predator.
Like some kind of wolf.
Her eyes squeezed shut, waiting for something to happen... but nothing did. Opening their eyes again, she was greeted by the sunlight of the morning again, the strange reflection gone.
She was fine... right?
Next post is to be up by tonight <3
@Kronshi You will unlock your Afterimage forms once your characters accept them as their other selves, so yes, in the course of the story, you are free to reference them as part of the dream.
