I've had multiple shadows for some time now. I don't remember how long, really. Having shadows does nothing to reconnect me to Time, but it certainly does reconnect me to Shadow.

That sounds a little bit evil, but I promise it isn't at all. Shadows come from the absence of light, according to 'science', but if that were true, then how would you explain all of the things they have shown me?

They show me memories and dreams, hopes and recreations of events too far gone for any living being to still remember. They show me more than I've ever seen before. Having multiple shadows, shadows other than the one who has been by my side for most of my life, has shown me new worlds... and old, ancient ones.

The shadows whisper to me. They whisper about you, too, you know. They know what you did. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. Only I, you, and the five shadows attached to me know. We won't tell if you don't.

I was told that the shadows that aren't mine would fall off in time, but I think not. They know me too well now, and I know them. We can't separate. That would be horrible.

They grow stronger. Aren't they sweet?

I think it's hardly my fault that I don't know what I look like, or that there were five nigh identical shadows. Maybe a few of them were mimicking me so I'd pick them. Wouldn't put it past them.

Today is the start of a weird feeling. At least, I'm pretty sure it's today.
I never can tell, even now.

Thank you Moira, that's very helpful. It is ever so kind to you to help me out here. I will definitely be able to find my own shadow, I've always been rather partial to images and reflections of myself. But to be fair, I've always been partial to myself.

Or, well, I think so. It's hard to figure out which of my memories have happened and which are dreams or haven't happened yet.

I'm still missing something, the thing I can't remember, but I wonder if it will return upon attaching my shadow?

What an odd thought/feeling, to have a Psihigh spirit badge. I'm not sure whether I've been here a long time or no time at all, but I am pretty sure that this school is one of the more interesting and rewarding things in my life.

I mean, other than the panic over exams, the fact I lost my shadow and something else important that I don't remember, and so on. But everything good has it's risks, so I don't mind.

I wonder if I'll be shadowless for life. I suppose it could be worse.

Thank you for helping , but I do doubt that my missing shadow relates to my memory issues. Either way, it would be nice to have it back, that's for sure.

Distinguishing features? Well, generally it looks like me, but dark, and stretched. Sometimes, it moves a little slower than I do. Sometimes I think I see it try to speak, but no sound comes out.

Other than that, it has all the features of a regular shadow.... unless it's still there but it's become invisible? Considering this school, I wouldn't be too surprised.

Maybe take it on an etiquette course? I hear that those are effective. Maybe it's just a little mean. I do hope that teacher will be okay, and that your shadow disgorges her whole and alive some time. Maybe it's just storing her for later?

I suppose being smaller would have good things. It's no so much a memory problem... I remember most things, I'm just bad at remembering what order they're in... and whether they've happened yet. Maybe if I become smaller I can talk to your shadow because I'll be closer to the ground?

Your shadow sounds a little rude, knocking things down like that. Maybe it's just a little cranky? I hope your shadow learns some manners and becomes a nice functioning member of society.

Missing shadow flyers do sound like a good idea, but the problem is, I don't remember how long it's been gone. It may have never been here... though I'm sure I remember having a shadow when I was smaller.... but I don't know if that's the past of future. Hopefully I'm not smaller in the future, I like this height.

Hello Rubellite.

I should like to meet your shadow. They seem like a nice, strange, oddly independent creature. Maybe they could talk if you taught them how?

Unfortunately I am not telepathic, but I actually lost my own shadow recently, along with something else that I can't remember, but I think it's important. Maybe your shadow knows where mine is?

New students seem to come in all the Time, just as students seem to go Missing or just... leave. Of course, most of them leave for the same reason. The reason is usually death, or going missing. Oh well.

To all New students, Welcome!!! To all Old students, those who have been here even Longer than I have, Good job!!! To all who, like me, do not know whether they have just arrived or have been here all their lives, Good luck!!! And to those who are dead or missing....

Thank you.

Good morning, evening, night, afternoon, I don't really know which is which....
I hope you are having a good day, whoever you are. Who are you? Tell me who you are.

I seem to have forgotten something. Or rather, I'm missing something. In fact, it may have been Stolen.

But nevermind that... I don't think it's Important anymore. Or maybe they want me to think that? Who knows, I don't. I am ignorant today.
