[Closed] I never said that I want this. This burden came to me and it's made its home inside.

Who: John Mitchell & Xander Jarle
Where: Xander's apartment
When: September 21st, evening - night
What: Xander gained a new ability, but is having difficulty controlling it and calls John for help.


What had started off as an ordinary day switched to one of the most terrifying moments in his life. It all started after he saw some pink lights in the night sky, accompanied by some strange buzzing noise and suddenly, he had the ability to meld with the shadows around his apartment. The experience of watching his leg sink to the floor was quite startling and being unable to do anything to stop it only made it worse. For several minutes, he believed that this would be the end for him, but after calming down -- or as well as someone could do for being stuck in a shadow -- he would try to figure out how to get out of his predicament.

It was quite a struggle, trying to get his physical form back from the darkness. The floor was probably the worst place to start with and eventually he decided on trying from a different spot, which happened to be the ceiling. The landing wasn't a soft one by any means and his cat, Connor, came running over to him. With a grunt and shooing the black Siamese cat away, he got back up on to his feet.

Now that he was free and a little sore from his landing, he carefully made his way to his phone. He needed assistance, just in case it happened again. He quickly scrolled to John's number and let his phone auto-dial it. So far, he wasn't having any issue staying three dimensional. When John's voice mail kicks in, the phone falls through his hand and clatters to the ground. A curse escapes him as he's suddenly pulled down with it.

"John, it's Xander! I... I need your help right now." He stated, his voice sounding a lot more panicked than he'd like, but he continues to speak. After listing his address and apartment number, he adds, "Make sure you bring a large light source with you. Please come soon."

He quickly hits the end call button and tries to pull his arm back, but he's not very successful. Once again, he was in the shadows. All he could do was wait for John to show up or consider falling from the ceiling again and get more bruises.
