School let out a couple hours ago, giving Klef the rest of the day to... Wait, what am I going to do? In a city bustling with magic, it never occurred to her that boredom would still exist. While her boredom may or may not have had a thing to do with the fact that she had yet to sign up for any extracurriculars, the lack of friends from transferring mid semester sure didn't help either.

The sky was a painted gray by the clouds. It looked like it could rain any second. Because she didn't feel like having to do her own laundry if she were to get rained on, she decided against spending the rest of her day exploring the woods like she usually did. Instead, she stayed on campus, surely there was something

Bored, she went up to the roof of one of the main buildings. She heard that the view from up there was spectacular.. The roof itself was slightly slanted, but not to the extent that one wrong step could lead to to her demise. Solar panels riddled the roof, on a dreary day like this one, they were nothing but mirrors. Klef took a brief second to look at the reflection, but her eyes glared harshly against the regular surface as usual. All she could see was the silhouette of her hoodie and two blazing eyes staring back at her.

Once she found a nice spot that was shaded by a solar panel, she sat close to the edge. They were right, whoever they were, she could see just about everything from up here. Her eyes glowed increasingly blue as her powers started to kick into high gear. To her, there was no better way to waste away a Friday than detecting auras. As boring as it sounded, Klef enjoyed people watching, it allowed her to pick up auras of all sorts of people and places. While the forest was more fun thanks to all the wildlife, seeing the students and faculty go about life wasn't too bad either. Up this high, she could see the entire school, even the city further away and the forest within the horizon. Everyone down below seemed to have it all figured out, they had cliques set up and things to do. Klef, on the other hand, had nothing better to do than just watch. It felt like an intrusion of privacy, like being an outsider looking in.

James sat on the very top of the tower, he wasn't really a loner, he liked being friendly, he just had trouble funding a place among the kids.

"Brooding are we?" the Shadow asked in the asked in the back of his head, he replied with a mental shrug. He supposed he was, perhaps he was in a weird transional point, he had a few friends, an adopted family, but he still sometimes felt like an outsider looking in.

Below he noticed movement, below, a girl by the looks of it. He shifted, allowing the shadow energy to surround him, and teleported down, silently reappearing behind the girl. "Uh...hey there."

Er... Hi?" Klef replied, turning to face the person, revealing eyes that glowed like a pair of flashlights. Since her powers were in full gear, she saw more than the typical person would, such as the darker presence somewhere within or around him. She couldn't put her finger exactly where it was coming from, but she could tell that she wasn't talking to one being. In a way, this second presence was fascinating. Sure, she had seen her fair share of phantom limbs and auras, but never something like this.

" You startled me there, I don't think I've ever seen you around before, who are you two?"

"Sorry didn't mean scare you," he said with a kind smile, "I was higher up on the tower and thought I'd come say hi. My name's James Mortii."

He tilted his head, "two?" he asked confused. "Ohoho looks like this one can see me," he felt the Shadow sorta mentally lean over as if to get a better look, "interesting." James raised an eyebrow, "can you see the Shadow?" he sprouted a shadow tentacle out of his shoulder to show her. "It's a creature I have to share my body with."

"Ah it's fine. Might sound like a creep, but I saw you two up there, really should have seen it coming." She chuckled. " I can see almost everything with these bad boys," Klef told him, gesturing at her eyes, " well, technically auras, but, yeah, I can see your little friend." While she did know about the second presence, she certainly was not expecting for the thing to come out of his shoulder, it caused her to reflexively jump back a bit. You'd think that she'd adjust to all the anomalies of Manta Carlos considering that she was one herself, yet she still got caught off guard every time she saw one. Once she got her bearings together after the initial shock, she started to approach the shadow tentacle, slowing inching closer, eyes wide with curiosity. " That's really neat!" Klef commented, " So do you guys, like, have different thoughts?"

" Sorry if it's a touchy subject, I just have never met two people at once like this." Oh, it's Klef by the way, I'm a freshman here."

"That's cool, like a sixth sense," he could feel the Shadow look on, interested in her power, "never seen that kind of power before." He looked at her eyes, they weren't like any he'd ever seen, "your eyes are really cool, nice looking."

"Yes, I can here him when he talks," it was always so odd explaining the Shadow to people. "I accidentally got bonded to him a while back."

"Nah its all right, I'm used to it by now. It's good to meet you Klef," he said with a friendly smile. "Were in the same grade, don't think we have any classes together though," the tentacle on his shoulder swayed back and forth as he talked.

"So, what are you doing up here?" he asked curiously taking a seat beside her, "I somehow always end up really high...guess I just like climbing things."
