<div class="floatleft">(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c195/TheOneTheOnlyTheShane/0000ryt3.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Erik Crowley<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Shadow<br/><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong>Floor 2, Room 4<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Auditorium<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 2nd, early evening<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Everybody, Jean specifically<br/><hr/><br/><br/>Mmm, food. Definitely worth it so far. One can never quite appreciate the smaller things in life, the things that are taken for granted, until one has lost them. But now, it seemed, like he would actually have to worry about stopping himself from eating in the days ahead.<br/><br/>Getting away from the food table would be a good first step. This was most easily accomplished when he saw Jean again, and he sort of quietly followed after her. One could say he was shadowing her, if one wanted to make horrible puns. He settled down quietly at her table, along with the others, an easy smile on his face. He was wearing a red shirt that had clearly seen better days, with its frayed edges and small holes. He also wore denim pants that were faded with age, with some rips and tears scattered across it. His shoes were old, and used to be black, but now seemed to have faded into a dark gray color. His left shoe actually has some duct tape wrapped around it in some places.  These shoes basically were good enough to get him not kicked out of 'no shoes, no service' establishments.<br/><br/>Probably, he should consider requisitioning some new clothes. Along with his beloved knife.  He hoped they would give him back that particular knife, which he was still a little sore about surrendering.  People here, they could use their powers and stuff in  the light of day. What could he do, when not submerged in darkness? Parlor tricks. It made him feel vulnerable, and while some others might feel safe because of their surroundings, because of the environment, Erik didn't really get why they would feel safe. Why anyone would feel safe, really, without personal power.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, 'Charlie' had decided that it did not want to stay with Erik any longer. Now, Charlie was on the floor by Nathaniel, looking as if the shadow belonged to a man sitting across the table from him. Since they were both on the same floor, Nathaniel may have seen Charlie before; or else, might have observed how the shadows don't seem to act right whenever Erik is around.<br/><br/>"How's it going? Nervous?" He'd ask Jean. She was basically the first person he befriended here, and this means he's going to kind of stick with her until he feels more comfortable around the others.
