[Shadow's just been returned, and he's in the town square at the moment, totally wounded and exhausted. He certainly looks like he's been doing some fighting. A LOT of fighting

OKAY SO I'M TECHNICALLY ON HIATUS BUT HEY A CHANCE TO MAKE SHADOW'S LIFE REALLY AWKWARD

[intobrightness]

[Interceptor can be a weird dog sometimes. One minute he's perfectly content to play fetch and receive bellyrubs, the next he's dashing down the stairs and out of the building and it's all Relm can do to sprint to try to keep up.

Here is your doggy! Followed by a very out-of-breath ten year old who doesn't have a clue who you even are without your mask.]

Hey- [Okay, breathing. Lungs. Air. Right, trying that again.] Hey Inty, what's wrong? Is he a bad guy?

YAAAAAAY, BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS! XD

[shrouded_reaper]

[Of course Interceptor has to give greetings to Shadow, who is in turn glad to see him... but he pauses and stares when he realizes that's Relm there. For real. No hallucination. At least, he thinks this might be real.]

Rel- It can't be-

[Oh great, he doesn't want to face the kid unmasked like this! And the spell is doing its work so of course his motions are slowing. He tries to move his journal in front of his face, only getting it partially there before he freezes in place and turns fully into stone.]

[Terra's on her way back home after spending more quality time training. She didn't push herself too much, so a walk instead of just teleporting is fine with her. Approaching, Terra doesn't take notice of him at first, lost in thought. However, something about him catches her notice before it's too late, and she turns to stare.]

Shadow?!

[Okay, rushing over now.]

[shrouded_reaper]

[Well, better a familiar voice than not. And at least that voice isn't screaming in torment or anything, as the hallucinations kept doing. Obviously, that seems like only yesterday to Shadow, since he doesn't recall much about the past couple weeks.]

...Terra?

[He starts to go toward her, but becomes frozen in his tracks once the spell catches up with him. Within another moment, he's turned into stone, a very annoyed-looking Shadow statue.]

[esper_flight]

[Of course, the very next thing she does is cast Esuna.]

[shrouded_reaper]

[...which brings him back once it's cast, of course he's mid-moving and thrown off balance by the sudden change, so he trips and falls over. He pants and catches his breath, still definitely a bit out of it from the fun of post-kidnapping.]

How... how long?
