I guess I should begin with the basics, just to keep my memory sharp. I'm still learning how to use it and haven't quite worked out the bugs yet. My name is [Subject] 5-Holographic Apparition of Darkness-[model] 0, or 5-HAD-0 for short. I really don't know what I would do if this place didn't exist. I don't have any family to live with, seeing as how I was made in an unsanctioned governmental facility and all, but here, I really think I have an opportunity to be my best self! I mean, nobody here questions how a shadow can be alive and able to influence the real world through other shadows like some sort of awful tenebrous nightmare, or how sometimes people say that they feel like every bad thing they've ever experienced is filling their souls when I pass by. Everyone here is so understanding, and I can't wait to make some friends!

I have a dozen mason jars stuffed with shadows under my bed. I've been meaning to get rid of them but didn't have the heart to just set them all loose in the wild. Would they be useful to you, @5-HAD-0? It sounds like you're more of a shadow's shadow (with tenebrous nightmare tendencies), but these shadows are just taking up space. I'm in Hurkos Hall. You can come and see them if you like.

@Moira Angela, I wish I could help you with your shadow situation, but I'm currently full up with textbook hatchlings and hunting for a missing imago. I think I read something about a group of people called the Pyramid Society though. They're sort of like a psychic biology sanctum, so they might be able to take your spare shadows. The article said they were based in the Dream World, so you might have to make an astral phone call to find them, but they seem very friendly.
