Tobias finally looked away from the sky. Everyone seemed to be having fun playing with a frisbee. After being lost in his own thoughts, he didn't feel like socializing. Tobias pulled his right hand out of his jacket pocket and pulled the hood on.
He quietly slipped away to a nearby lamppost that illuminated a small strip of sidewalk. From far away, he probably looked like a drug dealer or some other mischievous hoodlum. Tobias didn't care.
The boy rubbed his hands together to create friction and a tiny bit of warmth. He reached out with his left hand and summoned the shadow off of a passing cricket. It was small, but it would work. He made a small pool of shadow in the palm of his left hand and then placed his right hand over it.
Tobias breathed in deeply, exhaled slowly, and removed his right hand. A shadow-butterfly stretched its wings before hovering over his left hand. It circled Tobias a few times and floated around him.

Ethan got up and patted the dirt off his ass. Ugh... How embarrassing... he thought, not even bothering to straighten out his clothes. He noticed two particularly young kids wander into the park and looked at them in confusion. Those two don't look like they should be out at this time of night...
He approached the two carefully. Once reaching them he said softly, "Are you guys supposed to be out this late?"

As Tari passed the frisbee to Ethan, he noticed two other people walk into the park. Hey.. is that that German summoner kid?, he thought, recognizing his size and outfit. He then also remembered the morning he'd met him and smirked. What a coincidence... He wondered who the girl walking with him was, though. She was walking very closely to him, clinging.
If I start something with that kid, I wonder what she'd do..., looking back to his group of friends to make sure the frisbee wasn't flying towards his face, noticing that Ethan had gotten back up and was walking towards the new pair.

Vergil felt a protective need rise in him so he slightly placed himself in front of Toshie when Ethan came forward, towards where they stood still now. He spoke just as softly, but kept Toshie a bit behind, "Ve ahre seemplee out fohr a valk.. ve von't cauhs trruhbhul eff that ess vhat vorries yu."

Toshie shied away behind Vergil, letting go of his arm to be more behind him. She clasped her hands together and nodded in agreement to what Vergil told the older boy.

Artemis saw the frissbee fall to the ground. She raised an eye brow now seeing two younger looking kids. One she knew was vergil. She turned her head to see them go crowd around them she she decided to take a small walk to the swings. Artemis noticed Tobias alone by himself. She wondered what was wrong. "Maybe he wants to be alone" She thought. Slowly Artemis touched the cold metal of the swings closing her eyes.She remembred what went down here. A sigh left her lips as she soon took a seat on a swing.
Artemis created a flame in her hand as she warmed the metal so it was nice to sit on. She held the metal as she kicked off from the ground making no nois. One hand lay in her lap with the flame still lit.

"Whoa whoa whoa there little guy," Ethan said putting his hands up in surrender. "You guys just seem a little young to be wandering around at 3AM in the morning is all. No need to get defensive, I'm a friend." He put his hand out to the boy and smiled apologetically, "Sorry about that, my name is Ethan. I'm a junior at what I'm guessing is the same school as yours." Seeing that the girl next to the boy had hidden behind him, Ethan smiled warmly and gave her a little wave.

Half-worried the frisbee was unexpectedly going to smack him in the face, he was slightly disappointed to find out that everyone has abandoned it and let it fall to the ground. Tari had tried passing it to Ethan, but he wasn't paying attention and was talking to the two kids who'd just walked into the park.
Well... I guess it's my turn to throw it, then, he thought, lifting the frisbee from off the ground and sending it flying towards Vergil, hoping not to hit Ethan... not that he'd mind if it did.

Vergil gave a little sniff and eyed Ethan warily, the beads on his arm giving him a calming purr. He wasn't lying. "I ahpolojize, Herr Ee-thuhn. Eff yu speek ov the skul fohr the geefted, then ja, ve do." He placed his cold hand in Ethan's to shake it firmly, "I ahm Vergil und thess is Fräulein Tohshee Mahkeenahmi: fhurst yeer und sekund yeer."
The onyx beads sent a resonating hiss in his core making the hair on the back of his neck stand; he looked away from the boy he was making friends with to find a disc coming at where they were speaking. Grabbing for Toshie and Ethan, he dragged them both aside to let it pass, sending a bewildered look to Rhys.

Ethan watched as the Frisbee hit the ground, turning to see that Rhys was the cause of it. "What the hell was that, Rhys?!" he screamed, marching his way over to the guy, "What if you seriously hurt one of them?!"

He's got good reflexes, at least, Rhys thought as Vergil grabbed Ethan and the girl to get them out of the way. The frisbee whizzed past them. Sure didn't seem like a summoning, though...
"Sorry, Vergil! I thought you got my message!", he lied as the boy sent him a confused look.
Ethan marched over, screaming at Rhys about potentially hurting one of them. Well..., he thought, 'what if' was what I was trying to find out... Instead, of course, he replied to Ethan, "Whoa whoa, calm down, Paperboy! I thought he'd gotten my thought that I was inviting him to play frisbee with us, is all."

Tobias watched his butterfly dance around in the light of the lamppost. He hated it. The butterfly had never done anything wrong; in fact, it had never even existed until a few moments ago, but still, Tobias hated it. "You're not real," he whispered to the shadow. Despite the life-like movements of the butterfly, Tobias knew it was fake. It was not living. It was not dead. It was nothingness. Even at his very best, Tobias could only imitate a real animal.
He watched the shadow-butterfly for a few more seconds, then he snapped his fingers. As he did, the butterfly popped like a balloon. Nothing remained except for the fleeting memory of the butterfly.
Tobias sighed and sat down, resting his back against the lamppost. He looked down at the sidewalk beside him. He had no shadow. He was not whole.

Seeing the frisbee fall to the ground Tari headed over to sit with Artemis on the swings. She saw Rhys throw it at some younger kids and watched. She noticed Tobias under the lamppost, she looked sort of down,"Tobias?", she called out to him.

Artemis couldnt help but laugh when Rhys sent the frissbee over to Vergil. She watched as he dodged it and got the others out of the way. She knew Rhys wanted something from him.But what... She thought to herself as she began to swing. What is Ryhs issue...what can he really do She really didnt understand his power. She sighed to herself seeing Tari come to her.
She gave her the 'sup' nod as she eyes Tobias. It looked as if he was talking to himself. She pressed her lips to a line as she glance back from Tobias then to Rhys.

Vergil simply nodded to Rhys but didn't speak up or give him a second glance, instead, he looked Toshie up and down, "Ahre yu ahlright Fräulein Mahkeenahmi?" He walked around her and made sure though it might have been a little paranoid of him to do so.
