[catchall] Kate
An introvert and a shadow walk into a haunted house
An introvert and a shadow walk into a haunted house
[Bursts into tears at having to be mean to Kate SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS
For now he's too busy to be racist against shadow girls, though, since he's changing back into his normal clothes!! He's got a second long coat over the first one and a sheathed sword in his hand. His hair's tied up in a ponytail now, and the robes they arrived in are abandoned on the ground.
He'll probably be instantly wary as soon as he sees her, but for now he just unsheathes his sword and studies it with a thoughtful frown on his face.]

[ hm. she won't come too close while this guy is holding a sword, but she does stop and take a look at him, then the discarded robe. she's in her regular clothes right now, so the shadowy features and lack of face are just out there. hi. ]
It looks like we've all been reunited with some of our personal effects.

[SHADOW...
He pauses when he sees her, and lowers her sword, but he holds it in a position that would allow him to attack very easily if needed. Shockingly, despite the way his eyes narrow, he doesn't lash out like he did with Karlach. She is the wrong size for (redacted) hallucinations and there are no (redacteds) around her, so...
Bluntly:]
Are you a ghost?

No.
[ she shakes her head, and keeps her hands where he can see them. ]
And not a monster, if that was your second guess.

[He does appreciate that, at least, even if it doesn't show in his rudeness]
What, then?
What, then?
A shadow.
... I'm afraid I don't have a good explanation for what that is, exactly. But that is the name for people who look like me.

[Oh. Hmmm.]
...Are you from here?
[Maybe she's the source of all this? He's seen weirder things.]

No... I'm an outsider, like yourself. I assume.
My name is Kate.
My name is Kate.
[He considers this.]
Kanda. [...] Tell me more.
[It's not phrased as a request, but his tone isn't rude, actually--just calm, albeit straightforward. He's filing this away to report as anomaly later.]

Yes. [Kanda say "please" challenge (impossible)]
Well...
I'm a member of the Shadows household, a family of nobles that live in a large manor. I live in the children's wing of the building. Ordinarily, one would not leave the manor until reaching adulthood...
But I suppose these are unusual circumstances.

Where is it located? What country?
[Maybe he will finally learn about alternate worlds]

It's a place called Soot Island. But no one I've spoken to seems to have heard of it.
[He shakes his head slightly. Unfortunately, same for him.]
...I'll ask others when I leave.
[It's impossible to tell because Kanda doesn't know how to communicate, but this is actually him being nice for DGM-related reasons.]

Thank you. I'd like to know if anyone knows of it.
What about you, then? Would you tell me a little about yourself?

[Kanda says "no" and they spend the rest of this thread in silence
No I'm kidding. He won't volunteer much, but after a brief consideration--]
I'm an exorcist.

Really...?
I've only read about them in books... Does that mean you deal with haunted places, possessions, and the like?

No. [But he doesn't seem surprised by the question... they get this a lot] Not unless they have the things we're looking for.
Holy materials, for the Church.
[Kind of. Close enough.]

[ at the haunted house, kate steps outside to see kanda near the plaque. she tries not to draw attention to it, but along one of her shins is a word in white lettering: FALSE. ]
Ah... It seems we may be sharing a living space for the next while.
... This may be a difficult arrangement...

[SWEET KATE... the way I thought Kanda would be extra violent towards her but it's currently the opposite is so funny
Luckily, Kanda won't ask anyone about their marks; it's hard to tell if he even notices it. For his part, the words Alma Karma show through his clothes on his back when his hair isn't in the way.
He makes a slight face at this plaque, his arms loosely crossed. He's got his sword, but by now it's probably obvious that he just carries it all the time.]
The woods are quiet. [DON'T JUST RECOMMEND SHE SLEEP IN THE WOODS]

[ the cool thing about having no face is no one can tell if you're reading their ominous back-words! maybe she did, maybe she didn't. ]
I don't think it would be wise for any of us to sleep out there...
