[And now a very improtant message about Shadows from Kanji Tatsumi]

[get_bent]

[Normally he'd actually draw better, but he's so freaking pissed and annoyed that you'll get this. Also his terrible handwriting.]

Yo! You guys all better listen up and read Senpai's post, cause this shit's important. I drew somethin' to give you an idea of what we're up against.

[He holds it up and...]


But uh, if you end up denyin' it....and I can't really blame you, we'll come help you deal with it. Got that?

[Yes, that is all you're getting from him, Kanji-kun. This short doodle has been Leader-senpai approved.]

[get_bent]

[Oh Senpai you know how to make a dude feel happy!



...NOT THAT WAY GEEZE.]

[princeofjunes]

I'm... actually kinda impressed, Kanji.

Video

[get_bent]

What'dya mean?

[chainsawn]

... So.. you just need to give them a hug and it's okay?

video!

[get_bent]

Nah, it's more then that! You gotta accept that the Shadow's a part of you, you know?

No one's perfect, and we all got some shit we don't want others to know. The Shadows just go around bitching that stuff to anyone who listens, and makin' it sound worse...

That's why you end up denyin' em in the first place.

[Video]

[evokingfool]

That's a very good visual guide.

[Video]

[get_bent]

Thanks. You guys be careful out right, alright? We're gonna be helping out anyone we can.

[Link has yet to have lessons on using the strange pictograph holders or how they were related to the 'network' that the other, older him, had spoken of. And his lack of ability to read didn't help him much, since he could only recognize some words by rote. he did know numbers, though. And pictures.

So he stared at the screen and tried to make sense of it. There were arrows with words associated that pointed to various pictures in the story.

Let's see...

A bunny and cat on the side in the corner... a happy person with an arrow pointing to them and the word 'you'.... a sad or angry person with an arrow pointing to them and the word 'your something'... then the words 'your something is a something something you a circled word something it it something something something that has three lines under it and a red line after it'... a red x and no, then a mad person yelling 'something not you' at a monster and the words 'your something something me power and one of those red lines - maybe another way of writing 'I'? - and underneath the two of them the words 'I am you something'... then a green check mark and the word yes with two people hugging and the words 'And I am you' with an arrow pointing to someone looking triumphant and another arrow pointing to them with the words 'something 2 something'.

Thinking, thinking...

A cat and a bunny have been lost and you are happy to help your friend find them. You don't find them, you find a monster - you know it's you cause the words 'I am you something' are below the picture of the person facing the monster. The monster is evil cause he's after Power (maybe Ganondorf?). The monster is beaten because there is a happy yes and the two people are hugging - you're one of them because it says 'and I am you' so you know it's still saying you're one of them and then it points to a picture of someone, probably you!, looking triumphant and knowing you saved the two lost pets because there's '2' and it's pointing to you!

That's really nice story to share and keep people's hopes up about life in this terrible place! This network really was worth learning how to use!

Link moved on, feeling much better.]

[video] ✾ [a few minutes later...]

[innheritance]

H-Hey, you're here too? [ Even if she's been told, it takes her a moment to face the reality. ] Oh, your drawing is really nice!

[ Because that's the best she can follow up her outburst with. ]

[Video]

[get_bent]

Senpai! Didn't know you were here. Am I glad to see you!

video.

[carrythesin]

That's a nice picture...

[Not exactly the point, but hey it's nice.]

[get_bent]

...uh thanks...

[He is still unused to praise from random strangers.]

[Video]

[jellyfishbrain]

Do we have to hug 'em?

[Legitimate concern okay.]

[Video]

[get_bent]

No. It was just the easiest way to explain'it!

[Video] lol Kanji win

[fifth_kazekage]

......

[A lot of staring.]

Why is an embrace required?

[Video] he tries

[get_bent]

[Oh my gods are people seriously stuck on that.]

NO DAMMIT! I just drew it like that so it'd be easier to understand! You just gotta accept that it's a part of you!

[video]

[detecting]

Well done. That's a very concise explanation.

[video]

[get_bent]

...y-you really think so?

[papshooshing]

THIS IS HOOFBEAST SHIT.

[get_bent]

The hell's your problem? We actually know how to deal with this shit!

[xroyal_bratx]

[ All the seriousness aside, Ishtar couldn't help but giggle at the drawn image for a moment. ]

That's kind of cute, though it sounds bad at the same time. I mean...jeez, something that feeds off of negative energy huh?

audio

[get_bent]

Yeah...come to think of it I guess it's just all your negative energy given form or somethin'...that's why it's dangerous.

[Video]

[starofpleiades]

The bunny and kitty are cute!

[CLEARLY THE IMPORTANT MESSAGE HERE]

[Video]

[get_bent]

Oh those? I drew 'em to feel better--

[He stops suddenly.]

--I-i gotta go!

[ video ]

[extraordinarily]

.... Is that supposed to be some sort of a dragon?

[ video ]

[get_bent]

Huh?

Oh nah, just a monster. They turn into pretty weird things, that's all.

video

[boxingemperor]

You make it look pretty easy.

video

[get_bent]

You'd think that...never was easy for anyone on the team. At least we know what to do...

[ voice ]

[immortalia]

[...]

Do we need to obtain a cat and a rabbit somehow to make the Shadows less excruciating to deal with?

[ voice ]

[get_bent]

NO! Can you guys stop it with that? Forget 'bout those!

Video

[ogrewhelming]

I see. It seems straightforward enough.

Video

[get_bent]

I hope it is. Don't want anyone to get hurt from all of this...

Video;

[thornythaumaturge]

Is it...really that easy? [[From all she's experienced in the tower that seems too simple...]]

[get_bent]

Uh it's the basic stuff...sure as hell hard saying' that shadow is you when it starts talkin' 'bout stuff you don't want out in the open..

[Video]

[dragonspooker]

...why can't we just blast the things and avoid the whole process?

[Video]

[get_bent]

Because they're you. They got the same powers as you do for the most part.

Think of 'em like the opposite of you...that wants to take your place. And they know exactly what to say to hurt you the most.

video;

[kickspenguins]

Other than your writing bordering on intelligible, that's pretty useful.

Video

[warriorscribe]

So...the matter here is to convince yourself or the person that their Shadow is truly part of them, or to admit they are.

video

[keybearer]

That drawing makes it look a whole lot easier than it sounds, honestly.
