John: Arthur, this man seems to be covered in a thick black fog. It obscures his features we must tread with caution.

Scratch: You scared the soft beast away.

Arthur: I.... what?

A hiss from behind Arthur answered the question.

John: it seems to be a small creature covered in fur. It has yellow eyes and slits for pupils."

Arthur sighs in relief: John, that's a cat.

Scratch: Correct a small soft beast. Who do you speak to? I see nothing but a yellow tattered cloak.

Arthur taken aback: You can see?

Scratch walking away towards the cat: A yellow tattered cloak hugs your shoulders and covers your eyes.

John: He can see me?

Arthur turns to the voice and follows: Wait, who are you?

Scratch picking up the cat: I am Scratch, and my host is Oscar. My host is asleep. He allows me to play with the beasts while he sleeps.

Arthur: You control him?

Scratch again, walking past Arthur and heading back to his allowed area: We share. I do not take.

John: He seems to be walking away from us holding the cat. His eyes seem to glow in the dark, and he has disregarded us.

Arthur continues to follow.

John: Why are we following?

Arthur: John, there's someone else like us. Don't you want to know more?

John was quiet and gasped: Yes! He could tell us how to share like they do. Just until I get my own body.
