[ This would... probably be a little less creepy if the message was not following Shira everywhere. She suspects it's meant to be calming or something, but it's actually having the opposite effect. Maybe she might try to relax a little, but she's not closing her eyes in this place. Feels like something might jump out of the dark and bite her if she did. ]

[ Hhhheeelllo. ]

[starqualities]

[ Speaking of things that pop out of the dark. Shira is alone one second and very much not the next, and she jumps when she notices another person (?) there, taking a step back. ]

Oh, Jesus- [ She laughs, nervously. ] I'm sorry, I just- you scared me.

[ Trying not to think about the fact that that might have been intentional. ]

[matriotism]

[ It was definitely intentional. :) ]

Did I? [ She laughs, very happily too. Like she's proud of herself. ] Are you scared of the dark?

[ She's kind of half hiding in the shadows, parts of the message across her face. ]

[ She's met her fair share of creepy people, thanks, and this one? Definitely setting off her creeper radar. Normally she'd just smile and laugh and try to play this off like nothing's wrong, but she doesn't want to encourage Raicho's behavior. ]

No.

[ Not usually, anyway. Not when there aren't weird glowing messages and creepy people who appear out of nowhere. She tries to remember without looking whether or not she has her pepper spray in her purse. Just in case. ]

[matriotism]

[ There's a moment of silence and the girl starts to walks towards Shira, but more circling her rather than walking straight to her, in a shark-like behaviour. ]

You should. You don't know what the dark hides.

[ She hums a little. Shira is pretty, but so is Adam. Pretty doesn't really save one from being food. ]

What's your name?

[starqualities]

[ There are plenty of monsters in Shira's world, but they hardly ever make it across the Worldwall between the human world and the Otherworld. She's not a mage, and she's never given it much thought. She doesn't worry about things that go bump in the night. ]

Don't I?

[ Her hand moves, brushing her hair away from her neck in a nervous gesture. The way she's being looked at, like some kind of prey animal, makes her incredibly tense, but she concentrates on keeping her breathing even. ]

It's Shira.

[matriotism]

Shi-ra. [ She smiles a little, showing teeth. ] I like that name.

[ She's so much closer now, can almost hear her heartbeat. And whilst she may not hear it, she can definitely feel it. ]

I'm Raicho. [ The way she talks is almost child-like, enthusiastic, if in a creepy manner. She holds her hands behind her back, still sort of circling Shira. ]
