#shadow stalker (shadowman)
Text
Closed starter | @machinesandman
Aria had gotten the message from Shadow that he was coming over in a little while, and quickly wrapped up her work. Closing up her notes and putting her monitor to sleep, she dashed out of the lab to get changed. She always appreciated when he gave her a heads up, even if they were engaged now. His politeness always softened her core a little, even after all this time.
Her quick change was a simple one; leaving her lab coat hanging just inside the lab doors, putting her armor into subspace and slipping a sweater and leggings on for some comfort and decency. Aria entered her living room just as the sensation of his presence made itself known in her core. She paused for a moment, with a hand over her core panel and a soft smile on her face. Would she ever get used to that? Part of her hoped she didn't.
'Come on in. Please excuse the mess.'
The "mess" she spoke of was hardly as such, just a few datapads and books on the coffee table and some dishes not put away yet. When he appeared, Aria faced him with a bright smile.
"Good evening, love." She strolled closer, leaning up on her toes to give him a kiss. "How are you?"

Lift you up everytime { Luke Patterson}
synopsis: after the battle with the shadow man the reader has some sixth sense abilities, causing her to see the phantoms unlike her other friends.
i tried something new with the ending! let me know whether y'all liked that.
"Yeah, why shouldn't i be able to see them?" You asked confused by whatever game Julie was playing. She struggled to figure out how to explain her situation because , how was she supposed to explain that playing an old cd has brought three ghosts out of a dark vortex and into her garage, only to be seen and heard when they play music.
"Because, they're uh, shy! They really don't like being around people which is why it's surprising they're here!" She strained out as she turned around, giving a dirty glare causing them to leave. "They can play the orpheum but they can't hang in a high school cafeteria?" Kora said teasingly, Danny snorted always amping up her jokes no matter how bad they are.
"Well social anxiety's spectrum you know!" Julie said awkwardly, "I have to go take calculus quiz but we should definitely hang out this week!" She said before excusing herself to leave. You all waited until she left the cafeteria to strike up your conversation.
"That was sus as hell." Taylor said as he shoved his last minute but finished homework into his backpack. You shrugged, "Maybe she's nervous. We're not exactly the most friendly looking upperclassmen." Your friend group all collectively had a resting bitch face, seeming to scare most off. You turned your attention to your backpack, trying to find sheet music you'd been working on during your free period. However, it was gone. "Shit. I left new sheet music in the music room, I'll see you guys next period." You said as you stood up with your backpack as you voyaged to the music room, knowing that it would be empty with the exception of a select few that Mrs. Harrison had trusted the keys to for lunch.
You sent passing smiles to those you knew in the hall as you made your way down the music hall. Walking in and silently being grateful that it was empty as you noticed your untouched sheet music where you left it the period prior. "Thank you universe!" You muttered as you pulled out your binder to put it in. Suddenly feeling eyes on you as you turned around slightly in the music room, the same way you felt with the shadowman. Three sets of eyes met yours. "Shit! Give a warning if you're gonna lurk like a stalker." You said startled causing the three boys to act suprised.
"You can see us?" The one in the leather jacket asked. Why the hell is everyone asking that today? "Yes? I have eyes y'know, i don't know why everyone's so unaware of that lately." You said crossing your arms.
"Sorry, it's been a while since we've been around people." The brunette without the sleeves said, You struck a confused face. "Oh, not use to slumming it in reality rather than being adored on the orpheum stage?" You teased slightly to the group with your voice dripping with sarcasm.
"No! God that makes us sound pretentious." The blonde with a golden chain around his neck said. You laughed slightly, "Relax, I'm just messing with you all. I'm Y/n Stevens. I was at the orpheum show the other night."
"Oh yeah! You were the babe in the third throw." You lifted your eyebrows. "Okay. I'm Alex, that's Reggie and this idiot is Luke!" They introduced themselves to you as you nodded. "Yeah, I was there with my friends and brother. You guys were awesome!" You said with a smile causing the boys to give one back. The bell suddenly ringing interrupting you all, "I gotta get to class but I'll see you guys sometime this week i guess." You said as you walked back slightly.
"You will?" Luke asked slightly excited, causing his friends to laugh slightly. "Yeah Julie said she wanted to hang out." You said as you left the music room with a quick goodbye, disappearing into the crowded hallway. "Dude you're so into her!" Reggie said as he snorted. "Yeah like it's embarrassing." Alex quickly recanted. Julie came into the music room slightly flustered, Flynn in toe. Who could suddenly see the boys after the orpheum performance.
"You guys gotta go back to my house. Until we figure out why people can see you, we can't risk anything." She said as she looked at Flynn but directing her words to the boys so no one thought she was having a psychotic break in the middle of the music room.
this time skip is brought the you by owen patrick joyners biceps
It had been a few days since your encounter with the three boys in the music room. You'd hung out with Julie a few times but had yet to hang out with the boys. Once again you were sitting at a table on campus with your friends aimlessly making conversation while you waited for your free period to pass. You'd all gotten back thirty minutes before your next class so you literally had nothing better to do. "Okay, would you rather date a cute ghost OR date a vampire, like queen of the damned type beat." Taylor asked dramatically, before taking a sip of their coffee.
"Shit, queen of the damn is my sexual awakening. I gotta stay true to it." Kora said as she last minute copied your physics homework, you quirked an eye. "I thought your sexual awakening was nosferatu?" You teased before she threw a middle finger up.
"Deadass? No fucking way!" Danny said as he sat up from laying on top of the table next to you all. "People eat there, you know?" A passing freshman said causing you all to turn towards them, unintentionally scaring them down the hallway. You all let out laughter, before turning back to your conversation.
"Hey!" Julie said as stood in front of your table, you gestured for her to sit. While, your friends say hi's and hello's to the younger girl. Sitting down she rested her arms against the table crossed, "Are you guy's free today?" She asked as she looked behind her quickly. After a quick moment of you all checking your imaginary social calendars that were most definitely empty with the exception of band practice and homework, you all nodded.
"Cool! Do you guy's want to come over to my house? We can play and you guys can meet the phantoms!" The latina girl had said cheerfully with a smile painted across her face. "I'm down!" You replied looking towards your friends who also gave warm acceptances to the invite.
"Awesome! Does around four work?" She said as she began to get up from her seat, you nodded being as it was your carpool day. "See you guys then!" She said as she began to make her way back down the hall she had came from. "I like her." Kora remarked as she handed you back your physics homework.
"She reminds me of y/n before their teenage rebellion phase completely took over." Taylor teased being followed up by Danny remarking that 'it's never a phase'. The bell had rung, causing you all to clean up the mess you had made on the table before going forward with the rest of your school day.
Walking into the Molina's garage you hadn't expected anything less, the butterflies on the ceiling, the chair hanging from the ceiling, and the grand piano that was in front of a window with possibly dozens of plants. You'd remembered that her mother had died that prior year, you had been working at a flower shop near her neighborhood. There must've been dozens of orders for floral arrangements for her family, mostly dahlias and some roses, which you found sardonically ironic, none the less.
"So where are the guys?" Danny asked as you all scattered across the spacious studio, Danny was near what you assumed was Alex's drum set. Kora was looking at the tapestry that was hanging on the wall, making a mental note to ask Julie where she'd bought it. Taylor and you were near the grand piano that stood in front of the dozens of plants. "About that, " Julie's sentence began to trail off, causing you all to look up at her.
"What are they gonna zoom call in on this sess?" Taylor quipped, causing you to roll your eyes at the mention of the small terror. "Do you believe in ghosts?" You let out a laugh, what was this danny phantom shit? After a minute or so of laughter on the behalf of you and your friends, you saw the uneasy facade that was painted across the younger girls cinnamon complexion.
"Oh shit, you're serious?" Danny quipped. Kora was still struck out, and Taylor had suddenly ran out of sarcastic remarks.
Before any of you were able to conjure up a response, three teenage boys manifested in front of you, "This is Luke, Reggie and Alex, they're ghosts."

Research Found So Far
The following is the information that I have gathered on the creature know as the Shadowman and his minions. I will then begin blogging my daily interactions with the creatures. If you have anything to add, please contact me.
Definition - A shadow person (also known as a shadow figure, shadow being or black mass) is the perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, particularly as interpreted by believers in the paranormal or supernatural as the presence of a spirit or other entity. Shadow people are said to be conscious, intelligent, interdimensional beings that can shapeshift into various forms and figurations, and move back and forth between dimensions.
People who have died from an attack have experienced cardiac arrest, no abnormalities found
25 -44 is the typical age off the victim, mostly men and age 33 is the most common
Description
A shape that is generally male, aware of us and react to us, see us all the time, react mostly when we notice them. Black mass that may have glowing red/yellow eyes. These beings are dark, inorganic, phantom-like bipedal figures that look just like a dark black shadow of a figure, but don't seem to quite have full human form or facial or bodily delineation. They feel very masculine and oppressive and like something that is beyond human and out of our scope of understanding.
Often people report them as being really tall, about 7 feet in height, though they can configure and transform into different sizes and shapes. Often their limbs (arms and legs) seem quite long, and occasionally fingers seen.
They kind of look two-dimensional (though sometimes appear sort of 3D) and seem to be made out of some kind of dark, etheric substance. They appear as one mass that is completely black and opaque, but it doesn't quite look solid in the way that we perceive usual physical form. Hence they are called shadow beings. No light goes through them at all.
They are known to dematerialize very quickly and even shape-shift into other forms such as in the figure of a cat, dog, rodent, oddly-shaped spider, insect or other creature or even formless shape.
It has been suggested that their darkness is a form of camouflage and perhaps they take on a rough humanoid outline in order to mimic and blend with us. Maybe we are not ready to fully understand who or what they are, what they represent and where they are from. Thus appearing as shadow forms is their way to be mysterious and incognito. They might also appear different according to their own stage of development.
We can also speculate that it is possible they are unable to materialize into any other kind of form or color, like that is all they can muster. You could apply that principle as it is the same with ghosts and spiritual apparitions - they can only use energy to appear certain ways and only for short periods of time, and it does take a lot of energy!
There has been a recent increase in sightings over the past few years. Some believe this is because these creatures are drawn to electromagnetic energy. And the modern world now has more electromagnetic energy then ever. This would explain why many people have seen them while they are watching TV, on their computer, using a device, or around electromagnetic equipment. It also answers for one of the reasons why they'd come into your room at night, apart from the fact that you are more accessible in your dream and sleep state. This also explains why they sometimes come during very bad weather like when there is lightning storms. This is because of the electromagnetic discharge being dispelled.
Types
Classic Shadow Beings-
The Lurker/The Watchman: - Keep their distance, tend to lurk in the shadows from afar, not very confrontational, drawn to a single individual and will follow them. Don’t appear to be pure evil in nature, but will feed off a person’s energy. Gives off a creepy vibe.
Shadow stalkers – Shadowy Figures that stay mostly outdoors or in forests. Believed to be protecting nature and the elements. Not believed to be harmful . mimics people they see (like a true shadow) They are able to move thru the forest without making any noise.
The Ghost- Some people think that shadow figures are ghosts or especially evil spirits, that don't manifest into a human appearance as sometimes seen in apparitions. I would say that this is indeed possible. But others disagree and instead believe that all shadow beings originate from another dimension or planet all together.
The Hat Man- He is just like the classic shadow figure, but also different in appearance and energy vibe. This one wears what appear to be a cape or trench coat and a hat which can range from a top hat to a fedora or cowboy hat. Why he is in this attire is unkown. Some think hee is an alien, time traveler or from another dimension Like the other shadow beings, this entity could be observing us, collecting data and so on. Interestingly, many report having seeing him when they were very young, such as around 5 years old. He does like to watch and instil terror and give off an extremely scary and intimidating vibe which has been described as evil, terrifying and unforgettable. It is said that he leaves witnesses with a horrible feeling that is haunting and can last for years. He sends a kind of signal and vibe making you feel like he will return. It is possible that hat man is a leader of the shadow figures. Watches silently from doorways. He’s always watching and always comes back
The Hooded Ones- Doesn’t attack directly, stand in doorways, bedsides and stares silently. Puts off a feeling of hatred to the victim, causing full body fear. A dark cloak with no features. Some think that this creature is the Grimm Reaper. This scary figure is the death collector, known in the Cherokee tradition as 'Stalking Death'. This is the kind of ominous being that will be after a person's soul, their death being the ultimately dark victory.
Elusive Shadow Person- Hide in the shadows and try not to be seen. Spy on you (they act as a scout) for eviler shadow people. Believed to be a lower being that malicious entities use . Some believe that these may or may not be evil themselves but forced into this role. Are rarely noticed, but can briefly be seen out the corner of your eye.
Black Mass- A giant black mass with no real shape or form. Less human, more fuzzy and blur when gazed upon. Can change shape at will. Very Negative creature.
Demonic- Most Dangerous, avoid at all cost. Typically tied to a single location or person. Forms retain a very tall humanoid shape, known for long limbs, horns, wings, glowing red eyes. Pure Evil. They cause chaos and fear. They love to break people down and terrorize them.
Other Forms-
The Old Hag- Looks like an elderly woman with a sunken face and eyes. She is a damned woman,belived to be cursed and is evil in nature. Is known for attacking a person while they are asleep. She causes paralysis on the victim and then climbs onto the victims chest( she is known to have a sizeable weight) where she causes nightmares and feeds off your fears. When you are in a weakened state she then tries to choke the life out of the victim, killing them. Tall skinny old woman, long dirty nail, dried toes, white tangled hair, long nose, may have glowing eyes. Evil, cackling voice
Jinn- It is said that in the beginning, three were created: man made of clay (earth and water), angels made of spiritual light, and a third made of fire. Beings known as 'Jinn' are actually not talked about much in the western world as they seem to be more of a middle eastern tradition.
They are said to be created before man, and are mentioned in the Quran as malicious, wicked beings with supernatural powers created by God from a pure, smokeless fire, which would explain why they are often seen with smoke coming out of them: They are analogized as genies (and are depicted in hidden ways in stories such as Aladdin) and present themselves in different forms, including humanoid and animal. Hence it is possible that they could appear in a kind of shadowy form too. They dematerialize quickly and are able to appear dark, animalistic, and even in strange contorted figures, vapours mists or cloud-like forms. It is said that they are created out of free will as we are, and live in a parallel world to ours and in communities (much like humans). Because of their free will, some are good and some are evil. They feel themselves to be superior to humankind, and thus it is said that God cast them out of this world until 'judgement day.'These beings have an agenda against us, and cause a lot of chaos and havoc much like demons do, and it is believed that they are a part of the army of S---n. They have shape-shifting abilities and use them in order to create deliberate confusion.
Astral or Time Travelers- Some people think that shadow people are other humans astral projections that are floating around. Some Believe them to be time travelers .
Physical Harms that has happened to victims are beaten, choked, picked up and dropped by aggressive shadow people
The more terrified the victim the stronger the Shadow Person becomes. A common reaction that people experience in these encounters is that they become absolutely frozen, shocked, and in a state of fear. They feel like they are momentarily paralyzed or can't move. They have a sense that these entities are triggering immense states of terror and feeding off their energy.
Have appeared thru out history and in different cultures
Native American
Some believe that we are not seeing these creatures with our physical eyes. The Cherokee believe you are seeing with what is called the 'fifth eye" or 'dream eye' which is in the location of the soft spot of a baby's head when it is born. That's they eye which gives you extra sensory perception when you dream (during that 'rapid eye movement in your sleep). There is also your 4th eye which is behind the base of the spine, and that is where you get the sensation that you are in danger as animals do, and have the hair stand up or that chilly feeling at the back of your neck. He goes on to explain that at night in your dream-state you have heightened energetic sensitivity and awareness, and therefore you will be more likely to experience supernatural phenomenon (both good and bad) and see such beings. This would explain why many people see them in their dreams while sleeping or as they awaken in the middle of the night.
They are said to be a vampiric energy which feeds off our "emotional chaos and discharge of energy."
So what happens is that when you see them, you expel a whole lot of shock and fear energy in your straight of being alarmed and momentarily frightened, and that is the energy that they feed off. So you are like an energetic battery or food to them. Just like a vampire sucks blood and then takes off, so too does a shadow person. They never stay around for long.
The Choctaws have stories about shadow beings. Nalusa Chito, also known as a Impa Shilup, was the soul-eater, great black being.[3] If people allow evil thoughts or depression to enter their minds, it would creep inside them and eat their soul. Nalusa Falaya (long black being) resembled a man, but with very small eyes and long, pointed ears. He sometimes frightened hunters or transferred his power of doing harm. Some believed that Nalusa Falaya preferred to approach men by sliding on his stomach like a snake. Hashok Okwa Hui'ga (Grass Water Drop) was believed to have a connection to what is termed will-o-the-wisp. Only its heart is visible, and that only at night. Hashok Okwa Hui'ga leads astray anyone who looks at it. It was also believed that every man had a shilombish (the outside shadow) which always followed him, and shilup (the inside shadow, or ghost) which after death goes to the land of ghosts. The shilombish was supposed to remain upon the earth, and wander restlessly about its former home, often moaning, to frighten its surviving friends, as to make them forsake the spot, and seek another place to live. It was also supposed to assume the form of a fox, or owl; and by barking like the one, and screeching like the other at night, cause great consternation, for the cry was considered ominous of bad things. The Choctaws could tell between the shilombish and animals it imitates. When a fox barks, or an owl screeches, another fox or owl replies. But when the shilombish imitates the sound of either animal, no response is given.
Hindu
Chhaya- goddess of shadow and shade. She is a shapeshifter (may be the old hag) When threatened cast spells and curses. Scorned by husband and lover. Now here and children own the shadows and torment people.
Shadow Dimension Theory. A concept closely related to projection is the casting of shadows. If a light is shone on a three-dimensional object, a two-dimensional shadow is cast. ... Going the other way, one may infer that light shone on a four-dimensional object in a four-dimensional world would cast a three-dimensional shadow.
It is believed that only beings of the world of the living have a shadow. While drawn to depressed and tormented people the shadow man can torment whomever her chooses.
Mythology of shadow people dates back to early 600 BCE. Ancient Egyptians believed in shadow people, and called them the "khailbut." Romans believed these people came from the Underworld. Greeks thought shadow people were literal shadows of themselves, which they often gave up to Zeus as a gift. All of these cultures, though, had a common belief: these shadow people were both part of the real world and the metaphysical one. In Ancient Egypt, in particular, shadow people often went and did the bidding in the spirit world for humans who couldn't reach it - sometimes for good and, sometimes, for evil.
The Roman word for shadow was umbra, also meaning ‘the shade’
In Europe, people believed that the shadow beings desired blood and without it, couldn’t be reborn.
In Old English these creatures were called Mares and this is where we get the term Nightmare.
Mara was a Demon in Buddhism
Mare was a demon in Germanic/Slavic folklore that rides on people's chests while they sleep, bringing on bad dreams (or "nightmares"). Similar to a succubus or incubs
Polish called them amora or mara and believed they were the souls of living people that leave the body during the night
Russia - the mara means a female character, similar to kikimora.( a legendary creature, a female house spirit Can be good or bad) Mara is usually invisible, but can take the form of a woman with long flowing hair, which she combs, sitting on a yarn. According to other sources, the mara is black, shaggy (And also a terrible and disheveled creature
Croatian – Mora or Mara is one of the spirits from ancient Slav mythology. Mara was a dark spirit that takes a form of a beautiful woman and then visits men in their dreams, torturing them with desire, and dragging life out of them.
Serbia- Mora – the night creature
Romania – Moroi a vamapirc ghost or could be a phantom of a dead person that leaves the grave to draw energy from the living
Mare is its name or possibly type of creature it is
Reported ways to get rid
****Must identify what the creature is before you can get rid of it or risk backlash****
Cleansing of a home with sage, by a Shaman or Priest (Didn’t work)
Saying Jesus or Archangel Michael name (Didn’t work)
Tell it to leave (didn’t Work)
Use Protective Crystals Agate, jade, obsidian (didn’t work)
Salt the house (didn’t Work) be carful salt line can easily be washed away or weakened. If you mix brick dust and clay with the salt, it can form a more permanent barrier
A banishing ritual
Medication (didn’t work)
No one to date has ever fully gotten rid of a shadow person
Stay in lighted areas, more light the better
Precautionary Things:
Turn Lights on before entering a space
Sleep with back against wall
Have someone who is awake with you while going to sleep
Never be in the dark alone
Never be in a closed room alone, especially in the dark
Always have the lights as bright as possible, stay away from low light
Most vulnerable the later it gets at night
Less power while the Sun is out
look at the window or to turn the pillow and make a sign of cross on it
leaving a broom upside down behind the door, or putting their belt on top of their sheets, or saying an elaborate prayer poem before they go to sleep
Old German Folklore Prayer to ward of Mara (Shadow People)
Here I am lying down to sleep;
No night-mare shall plague me
until they have swum through all the waters
that flow upon the earth,
and counted all stars
that appear in the skies.[14]
[Thus help me God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen!]
On rare occasions family and friends have seen the creature stalking the victim
Shadow People are one of the earliest sighted creatures by mankind, making them one of the oldest crypto creatures worldwide.

Shadow man had been toiling away in his head for... A long time now. Perhaps too long. Yes, he was content, even joyful with Aria, and wanted nothing more than to have her close most times. That feeling was only driven exponentially higher after she had trusted him enough for the two of them to link up, and connect, share an embedded wireless connection at all times. The way he could feel so much was both a blessing and a curse, in equal measure. Knowing when she was distressed, or over joyed. It brought those dual cores of his into a harmonious resonance. And thus vice versa, even when he kept himself carefully guarded in such ways, still enough could slip free between them.
In all his many years, the ancient robot had only shared that source of close connection with one other so deeply. Aria was...
In all ways, she was what brought the ninja a sense of peace. And had been someone who made him feel things he'd long since been missing.
And that was why he was taking so much time in following through with this desire of his. Something that had become such an aspect of careful planning, that not even other Robot Masters have been made privy to. His side of the network always eerily silent at some instances. Everything hidden away. This was his personal plan, and personal desire, the goal, the need. And nothing else would try and pry into it.
The stealth master gave a brief sense of warmth and tingling of sound across his shared connection with Aria. An indication that he was coming with calm intent so to not spook the Reploid. And soon he was raising up out of a shadow cast along her flooring.
"Songbird... I wish to speak with you."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
@machinesandman
It had been a long day of work for Aria, by this time in the day. She had been toiling away in her lab on her two most important projects since she'd finished recharging nearly 12 hours ago, only just recently stopping for a break to do some chores around her apartment space.
Aria was deep in thought about what she would work on next after she was finished cleaning the kitchen, when she felt a familiar signal in her core--warm and heavy, but gentle and quiet. She stopped what she was doing with a burst of excitement, knowing just who was coming for a visit. She could feel where he was coming from, and turned her head just in time to see Shadowman emerging from a shadow on the floor.
"Shadow!" Aria beamed, setting the cloth she'd had in her hand on the counter behind her. She quickly came to greet him with a warm embrace. It always brightened her day when he came to visit, and she couldn't help feeling giddy when it was a surprise.
"How are you today, my love?" She asked, smiling up at him. "What's on your mind...?"

This is left for Aria. And it was quite unsurprising, really.
your name: Shadow Man
your age: ... Non-applicable.
your perfect date: Private stargazing. Or perhaps, showing your the Aurora Borealis?
make out in private or in public?: Private, ahem... Holding hands in public is fine.
do you like to cuddle?: Yes. With you.
tell me something about you: I've... Learned more dances, to dance with you.
why do you want to be my valentine?: Do this need to be asked, Songbird?
A VALENTINE'S APPLICATION
Aria giggled when she opened the little note addressed to her. Shadow was always so sweet with her, and it made her melt every time. She found a pen, wrote something on the bottom, and returned it to Shadow's hand directly.
'It's a date then. Pick me up at 9pm on the 14th. Xoxo ♡'

Shadow x Aria. Shadow is pink and holding a box of chocolates out,.
Aria looked at Shadow, then the box of chocolates. She snorted, and burst into a fit of giggles.
"Well if I wasn't utterly enamored with you before, I certainly would be now." She leaned up on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. "Thank you for the chocolates, my love. You'll help me eat a couple of these, won't you...~?"

Reliving the Past
@machinesandman
Aria was anxious. She knew this talk had to happen, but she dreaded it all the same. Everyone knew pnly the basics about her relationship with Breakout Blade...with Blackout. She'd kept everything to herself all these years, and Aria herself wasn't even entirely sure why. She knew her own reasonings: fear, guilt, responsibility--but the WHY of it all? She never dared to unpack it. She was afraid of facing those parts of herself again, to relive those moments. But if things were going to continue as they were, or get worse as Blackout was threatening...it had to be done.
There were few she trusted with such a burden as this. But if anyone could help her process everything with an outside perspective, it was Shadow Man. So Aria had called him over, telling them she needed to speak with him. She'd already made some tea, set out some ETanks, and sat with him now in the lab's apartment floor living room. She stared intensely at her hands, trying to catch the words flying around her processor to string a sentence together.
"...thank you, for coming." She murmured, almost a whisper. "I know it was sudden, but...I feel this needs to happen, sooner rather than later."

Can you imagine it, Aria? Shadow would be so gentle with you when he does it. Attentive, too; watching with nothing short of utter adoration as you react to his every touch, gliding those soft hands of his down your sides... Or would you prefer them to be claws? You'd like that, wouldn't you? Maybe have him be a little rough with you too, hm? I'm sure he'd do it if you asked.
And let's not forget his voice.

(( for sinday as promised. )) Shadow Man couldn't help himself. Slowly, he leaned in closer towards away, delicately brushing some hair away from her audial so that he could whisper right next too it, voice dropping several octaves lower. "No star compares too the impossible light you bring my life, while the sea pales in comparison too the depth of my affection for you."
Having him be so close to her was already enough to make Aria's core pulse a little faster. But being a sound-based fighter, Aria had to be especially receptive to sounds around her, which made her audials especially sensitive.
And Shadow was so close now--the low pitch of his voice making vibrations that she could feel down into her chest. Her audials picked up every consonant, every wave that moved through the air as he spoke, and she involuntarily shivered. Such sweet words, just for her, that resonated emotionally and physically in her core....
Aria quickly pulled the collar of her turtleneck up over her face, but it wasn't quick enough to prevent Shadow from seeing how red she had become beforehand. The audible hum coming from her chassis was evidence enough as well, that he'd succeeded in making her feel things.
Ari whined from the protective fabric of her cozy sweater. "H-How on earth does your voice d-do that....?!"

There hadn't been a distress signal sent, no ask for help. There had been panic, yes, anger and frustration. But nothing that had screamed Aria needed rescue, no matter how badly Shadow Man wanted to. But it seemed to have died down for now- that was enough indication that he could safely enter. And so, the shadows darkened briefly, the Ninja immediately sliding up out of a shadow on the floor near Aria. "Are you all right? What happened? Do you require my blade?"
Aria was sat in the living area by the tall window looking over the city. She'd finished brewing her tea and just sat down to drink it, when she suddenly got a chill in her core. It made her pause, and put a hand over her chest. That was...new. Should she run a diagnostic...?
She was about get back up again, when she saw a change in the shadows of the room. Sure enough, Shadowman appeared up from the floor. His presence was a great comfort, after her stressful morning.
"How did you--" Wait, the link. That's right; they could feel things from one another now. She was still getting used to that...
"No, I'm alright! My wrist is kind of sore bu--your BLADE??"
Aria waved her hand defensively when it hit her, what he was implying. "No, no stabbing! I'm alright!!"

Shadow makes an incoherent sound, defeated, and squeezed Aria a moment, before loosing the hold again. Head not lifting, but he does speak, slightly muffled. "The things of which I have heard this day, and been egged on form, have over heated my primary core, and left my code spiraling." He explained. Shadow was a mess. but keeping it together. "Not just the fact about your books..."
Aria's core felt like it stopped pulsing for a minute, and her face flushed red with shame. So someone DID tell him!! But then, what else...? She moved her arms as best she could in his strong grip to rub his back in comfort.
"I um...i see you have had a busy day, as well..." She murmured. Aria wondered if the grey faces had been picking on him today, as well.
"....Um. About the books? I um...i-I only read them for entertainment purposes, if that m-makes you feel any less uncomfortable...?"

There is a ping for Aria's private communications, a brief warning Shadow Man had the capability to give. Before he materialized out of darkness- only to immediately wrap his arms around Aria and bury his face into her shoulder, muffling a low defeated groan. Was that steam escaping his chest armor?
"Oh, Shads is coming over? I should start some tEA-EEK--!!"
Aria was scared nearly right out of her synth-skin by the sudden appearance of Shadow Man's arms wrapped around her. The face in her shoulder and the rumble of his groaning made her squeak.
"Sh-Shadow!! You scared me! Are you alright?? Is that...steam??! What happened??!!"

Shadow Man couldn't wait any longer. He knew there was red flags, cautions going across the masters network. Everything was up in the air and rapidly being messaged around.c So many voices, so many there- but he had other means. He needed to do this. So, the ninja locked onto Aria's signal, and shifted. Slowly rising out of a shadow near by. His one red eye looking fearful. "Aria- how are you feeling? Please be honest."
@machinesandman
Aria froze when she heard the shifting noise behind her. Her core dropped to her gut when she heard his voice. She leaned over her workdesk, papers crumpled and littering the surface, spilling onto the floor. She couldn't turn around. Couldn't look at him--what if she infected him? What if he turned her in? Turned AGAINST her?
No, Shadow would never do that! Just stay calm. Stay, calm. She could trust him. Of course! What was she thinking...?
"I'm...I'm fine! I-- I'm just feeling a little tired. All the excitement since i woke up has been, a-a little stressful. I'll be okay after a bit of rest...!"

Aria's shadow darkened, and out of it raised Shadow Man, looking so confused. "What is this about a chair?"
@machinesandman
Aria is IMMEDIATELY hiding behind Shadow Man and pointing at the door where she'd locked the chair inside.
"Some grey face LEFT it here, and said it would go away after 7 hours! It keeps blinking in and out of reality?! And it made a SCARY NOISE and CHASED ME! And now there's grey faces something about backrooms and it was nice KNOWING ME??!!"

The shadows coalesced upon the ceiling, just above Aria. Shadow Man slowly sinking out of it all and downwards so that his much taller form was next too her own. Red eye gleaming brightly. One hand lifted to gently pull down his face mask, whispering out a soft 'Hello'. Before he took her cheek in one hand, even upside down, and pulled her closer. Lips meeting her own heated, yet so gentle. Tender in their touch, as he took his slow and careful time. The kiss as gentle as can be.
@machinesandman
Aria jumped at the sudden shadowy mass above her, but relaxed when she realized who it was. Well, that made finding him easier!
"Oh, hello! I was just looking for you--"
And just like that, he was kissing her again. He was really making it a habit of surprising her out of the blue with passionate kisses...not that she was opposed to it. The way he kissed her was always deep, but soft, and she adored it.
Aria giggled. "What a greeting, Shadow! And good timing, as well. I was dared by one of those um, Grey-Faced things to do something. So...m-my apologies for this."
And she just, reached up and bapped the front of his armor over his chest with her hand.
