Tanner thinks for a moment then says, "We could do that, or we
could do something else." He laughs at a few ideas but starts
thinking on what else we can do.
"The shadow hands disappear and Julius turned around. "Huh. I'm
heading back to the (wherever we live) and grabbing a snack. You
coming?" The hands reappear underneath Julius and carry him along
through the trees.
Tanner agrees and teleports to their little hideout in a bigger
tree, "I know what we can do!", he goes over to the pantry and
grabs a bag of chips for him and Julius and tosses one to him.
A shadow hand jumps out from the ceiling and catches the bag,
handing it to Julius. "What do we do?" Julius jumps backwards,
landing on a beanbag. Ripping open the bag, Julius flicks a chip
into his mouth.
Tanner opens his bag and says, "We could prank the others here, you
use your shadow hands to move the surrounding near them until they
notice and get unnerved, and I'll use my shade form to move around
in the trees near them to scare them."
Tanner is picking between the choices when he feels something
getting closer to them, "Hold on I'll be right back..." He
teleports out of the hideout and feels for anything getting near
him, he senses something smaller but definitely going for them, he
turns into his shade form and finds it, he grabs it and knows
instantly what it is, he teleports over to the beach and sets it
down in front of Nex.
Cameron awoke from his nap. He took a look at his surroundings.
"Wow," he mumbled to himself, "Look at all of the other people
here." What, you didn't think that all he could do was beep, did
you? That's just his musical talent.
Anyway...
Cam stood up and headed towards the group, ready to introduce
himself.
Tanner backs into the forest so he can hide with the other shadows
easier and just watches the whole interaction happen, he sees
Cameron and makes sure to stay extra quiet due to not meeting any
of these people outside of this form.
Umbra sees Cameron and skitters over to him. Nex materializes in
Umbra's place. "Hello. Welcome to the island. I'm Nex, a Royal of
the island. Royals are descendants of the first magic setlers here.
They're also the only ones who can enter the Whispering Willows."
She didn't mean to brag, but she felt he should know, "And I'm
currently running the island, in my sicly brother's place."
Kaori stayed on the top of the tree, still polishing her Nichirin
sword to perfection. She slashed upwards, testing its speed and
maneuverability. Satisfied with that, she sheathed her katana and
meditated. A good demon slayer always meditated in their free time
to practice Total Concentration Breathing and inner peace.
But it was quite hard to concentrate with all the people chattering
about and yelling.

Julius finished the chip pack and tossed it at the bin. It floated
around, about to completely miss the bin when a shadow hand popped
up, slam dunking the packet in the bin. Julius smiled and hopped
up. Tanner still hadn’t come back yet so he headed outside.
Julius whipped around. “Down here. I was just looking for you.”
Julius reached up and a quick shadow hand pulled him onto the
treehouse. “Where did you disappear too?”
Nex sighed; she was at her half-dead brother's bedside.
"Hey." She said softly.
"Hi..." was the gragly response. "Don't waste your-" *cough* "-time
with-" *cough* "-me. Go to the-" *couughhhh* "-willows, and run
the-" *COOUGGGHHHH* "-island." Nex's brother worked hard to form
that sentence.
"Okay. I'm off." She said, and headed towards the willows.
