January Event: Fade to Black

JANUARY EVENT: FADE TO BLACK
Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: Your true self comes to roost
When: January 21st - 23rd; January 25th - 28th
Where: All over!
Warnings: Dark subjects such as violence and self-destruction are likely to come to the forefront - please mark your content accordingly!
Down in that Darkness

This log is primarily for the Shadow and Light portions of the event, for ease and convenience. Your Shadow can be either the Persona-inspired sort - a "brutal, bitterly honest recreation of a character's worst flaws, darkest fears, and deepest secrets" - or the edgier, more laughable variant. The Lights, on the other hand, will do their utmost to convince their real selves of their best qualities, no matter how little they want to hear them.

Remember that the Shadows will be present from January 21st to January 23rd, and the Lights will be present from January 25th to January 28th.

On January 25th, we will post a separate log for Rejection Rooms!

And Foster falters, his instincts (normally so clear) now confused, now more than ever. He comes to a stop.

In more ways than one.

"Is that what you want?" He asks it in such a plain tone that it's almost possible to overlook the hunger underneath.

He angles his head downward, looking 'up' at Tim's Other, but without the lidded eyes or bright smile that often come with it. His face is... flat. Masked, maybe.

"....it didn't sound like it."

wouldn't THAT have been a tag

The Shadow's lips curve upward into a smile. It's thin, and with how little that the real Tim smiles, it looks wrong on its face. It looks like something that's been awkwardly cut-and-pasted on there. It looks like someone pretending they know how to smile.

"I'm not about to tell you what I want."

The smile is gone in the same moment it's formed, slid away like droplets of oil over glass.

As if it would ever make things so easy.

"You can spend all the time you want claiming to be you're something you're not, Foster. Pretend you're not human, if it makes you feel better, even if we both know that nothing does. It just gives you such a convenient excuse to not bother trying to be anything else."
