"Oh, what the fresh fuck is this."

Next to Shinji, Koromaru whines. He has no idea either, but it doesn't smell dangerous.

Shinji sighs. "Good to know, I guess..." He maneuvers his coat around in his hands until he can reach in the pocket - okay, keys are still there, he should be able to duck back out to Liminal Space whenever he wants. Cool.

Now to figure out what the fresh fuck this is.

He ignores Igor entirely, and almost does the same to the conspiracy board until the word 'Tartarus' jumps out at him. Well, shit, that's not a good sign. Oh well. At least he knows where he stands with the Dark Hour, and he's actually way better equipped to handle it than the last time he had to.

Anyway, that gets him to stop long enough to scan the information, and then he's off to Iwatodai. Reading can only tell you so much, after all. Actually seeing what's out there is going to work a hell of a lot better.

"Shadow shit. I think as far as Mitsuru ever worked it out, the cause was people's Shadows up and leaving their bodies, and sometimes they'd wander back if the body was still there to come back to." Of course, sometimes it wasn't, because losing all motivation to do anything includes 'eat' or 'get out of the sun.'

"I see. I wish I could say that surprised me. The shadows seem to be everywhere. There's a whole place here that they were in the tv. Ours was a separate world of sorts, accessed through an app on our phone." It would be his luck that the shadows took his mother as well.

Shinji just nods, unsurprised by either of those statements. "Yeah, heard about 'em before."

[reluctantprince]

He cleared his throat. "You won't have to deal with those things here if you don't want to. Igor made this place... safe of sorts. You can enter those areas at any time. I haven't had an issue yet. Once you are in them however, you are no longer under Igor's protection, so I expect that death still applies."

"Well, that's something, anyway. Better prepared for it than I used to be, so if I get into shit I can handle myself."

Still. Being able to choose it is kind of a relief.

He nodded. "As far as I know, this is a fairly safe space. So it's easy to relax here. A good place to get yourself some more power and energy."
