A dark haze lingered in his mind. He believed the haze to be his own existence at times, the world around him seeming to fall away and be replaced by, nothing really. It was hard to explain. It wasn't sleeping, per se, yet he certainly wasn't awake either. He found that periods of this state sometimes ran for years at times, most times, he was out for several months, sometimes days or hours. It was random at times, and at other times, he seemed to 'sleep' during the night as normal. Whatever happened to him, he found himself becoming aware once more and found himself floating near the ceiling of the library.<br/><br/>Seth Masters blinked a few times, still certain he was invisible to the living and turned over to peer below. It was quiet, as usual, but he sensed a presence here and noticed a couple of girls below quietly reading. The younger girl was clearly sleeping and it took a while for the older one to notice and put her book down to get up and carry the younger one out of the library. Seth smiled and drifted down to the book she had put down and read the title, 'Free Fall'.<br/><br/>"Interesting..." Seth muttered as he materialized into view once he was sure he was alone. He picked up the book and stared thumbing through it, remembering he could no longer smell the pages as the girl made a point to do before. Sighing heavily, he set the book back down where he left it, yet face down, and faded away again to become invisible to drift off through the air and passed through the wall towards the mess hall. By the clock on the wall, it should be dinner time.<br/><br/>Seth emerged from the wall in the Foyer and turned to drift toward the mess hall, when there came a sharp rap on the door and a girl's voice bellowed through it.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I need to talk to the Headmistress!"</span><br/><br/>Seth stopped and hesitated for a moment. He was told by the Headmistress to stay hidden and not interfere with the normal goings on during the day. He was permitted to use the games room at night as long as no one was around. He did remember some people before wondering who got all the high scores in most of the games in there, but they never found out who it was. However, this person at the door was not a part of the orphanage and it sounded urgent. Maybe he could take a message for the Headmistress or something and help out for once?<br/><br/>Seth materialized and touch down on the floor, using some effort to make it look like gravity actually worked on him as he held his feet to the floor and simulated a sense of weight in his steps. Grasping the heavy door handle, his hand passed through it the first time as he underestimated its weight and concentrated harder to pull the large slab of wood from it's resting place. Poking his head full of white hair through the opening, he saw a dark red haired girl in a trench coat with a look of distress on her face. Worried, Seth spoke in a soft tone.<br/><br/>"Hello, Can I help you?" he asked, "I think the Headmistress is occupied at the moment. If it's urgent, I can try and find her."
