-The voice on the other end is quiet and nervous sounding. And while her English is good, it slips because of said nervousness. Still, she manages.-

I never had a fancy phone before coming to the school. It's kind of neat how connected it makes me feel. I can read stuff, hear stuff, see stuff, kind of catch a glimpse into the lives of people around me.

It's kind of like what I used to do anyways, just watching life from the outside looking in...

A-anyways, most people call me 'Shadow'. -'Kagerou; was the name her mother gave her... it didn't feel right having strangers use it.- I just got here a few days ago... It's nice to meet everyone...

[[ I know this is largely a rehash of her TDM post, but eh. You're free to assume existing threads already happened, of course! Or start new ones. Either way! ]]

Yeah, now you get to see others are saying at any given moment.

[Awesome.]

[It seems she's triggered a certain person's paternal instinct.]

Still getting used to the surroundings, huh? Need help with anything?

[He's using his best 'being nice and friendly for the children' voice, but he still sounds just as gruff and, well, wolf-like.]

[soundandfurry]

They say some weird stuff...

[soundandfurry]

-She's been good and hasn't tried to sneak out to sleep outside in the last two days, at least!-

Well, not right now... I'm still trying to figure out this phone thing.

[whosafraidofthe]

As far as I can tell it just takes practice. I'm sure you'll get used to it.

[Right, introductions are a thing.]

Since we haven't met yet - I'm Bigby Wolf. I'm a combat trainer, and.. a bit of an unofficial welcome committee.

[Mostly only to people who catch his interest. Kagerou is lucky!]

Sup, dude! Cool codename! Mine's Beast Boy.

So is your mutation, like, something sneaky?

[yu_mad]

When you put it that way...smartphones are kind of amazing.

[Clearly that was the important part of this message.]

[blooming_resonance]

[She waits a little bit after the broadcast to send anything. Kagerou can probably hear Sakuya scribbling something on a pad of paper in the background as she speaks.]

It's... useful. For observing. But they're even better for... reaching out to others like this.

Have the others been kind to you so far?

[loveswaffles]

That's an understatement.

[soundandfurry]

But even if I don't always get it, it's still pretty fascinating.

[soundandfurry]

Oh! Oh oh! You're the one the Professor Xavier told me about! The other werewolf!

[soundandfurry]

E-eh? W-what kind of question is that? -What kind of name is "Beast Boy" for that matter?-

[soundandfurry]

There's even an app that keeps up with the moon cycles! It's pretty convenient, for how cloudy it can be some nights...

[soundandfurry]

-And for Sakuya, Kagerou doesn't mind turning on the video. She trusts her.-

So far... I haven't taken my hood off around others yet, but... I'm getting there.

Some people here are furry all the time, and seem happy... I kind of envy them.

[tofudog]

Shadow is a codename, right? [She sounds Japanese, so he assumes as much. Wait, is he racist? Do Japanese families really name their kids after English words, like in his manga? He doesn't think so, but outside of his comic books he knows pretty much nothing about Japan.]

Do you turn into shadow? Teleport through darkness? Hijack people's shadows and make them do stuff? Go invisible--oh! Except you still leave a shadow behind? Ummm. Astral project yourself, except a dark, spooky version?

...Make really good shadow puppets? Throw me a bone here!

[whosafraidofthe]

That's the one. [No one told him a wolf cub was coming here. Huh.] I'm assuming you're also a wolf, then. If you need any help, uh, involving that, I'm your man.

[soundandfurry]

I'm mostly just annoyed they won't let me sleep outside...

[soundandfurry]

Shadow is just what people call me. Please stop asking about this, it's really embarrassing.

[yu_mad]

That's...true. I never really put much thought into moon cycles.

[soundandfurry]

I... kind of have to.

[yu_mad]

...

Forgive me if this is a weird question, but are you a werewolf?

[soundandfurry]

...!

W-why would you ask something like that right off the bat?!

[yu_mad]

...I couldn't think of any other reasons to keep track of the phase of the moon.

[Although now that he thinks about it, it's probably her religion or something.]

[whosafraidofthe]

Well, it's dangerous outside. I'm sure no one will mind if you sleep with your window open. Then at least you've got the right sounds and smells.

[soundandfurry]

That's not the same... I was on my own for awhile, I don't get why people are so worried.
