Now i only spent like 2 minutes googling this, and dident really pay much attention so im probably dead wrong, but i think the wiki said the darkness comic is set in the image universe, and theres invincible war in the image universe(i think, idk i just googled this), so possibley what ever fragment of adam here might onm onm on omniman, but im probably wrong because i dident really research that much.

Darkness is tricky since it was used in different ways then designed for, initially I think that only Spawn and Angela were supposed to interact with the Darkness regulary. Then events happened, crossovers happened, I think writers changed and THEN the games came along.
It's a tad complicated, but not as much as other comic settings. Really dark tho, and not just because the Darkness was insane.
Nice to see Shadow!Adam go for fun and slow foodie walkies tho. 🥞

here we go again with adam stealing the hearts of worlds. only this time literally. XD
honestly the kingdom hearts the heart of the universe would fit because if you think about it adam's love interests seem to be scaling up the longer he goes. from mortal/semi mortal ai to worlds to now possibly whole universes.
there's a big bang joke to be made somewhere in here but I don't wanna push my luck on the rules.

I kinda want the little Adam Darkling to run into The Outsider who takes one look at it and goes "NOPE!"
It'd also be kinda funny to run into The Ebon Dragon who tries to make all sorts of plans around the Darkling, only to be eaten like a giant noodle. (And fixing up Malpheas and She Who Lives In Her Name along the way somehow, because they seem like they'd be Adam's type)

Sorry, this is a bit off topic but do you plan on doing any jumps involving the new Security Breach or just FNAF games in general in the future
Update today like normal, probably no update on Monday.

I don't think I actually can yet. That series has an incredibly deep amount of lore, and I've been following the theorists as they work through the stuff... You have to both play all the games, read the books, own the coloring book, and don't get me started on the actual video game itself!
For those of you who don't know, this is a series where hidden mini games and lies are part of the mythos, and even included substories and scripts that were hidden on actual images and web page source code and in audio files and video clips... It's sort of mutated into this whole detective thing.
The problem is there are five endings for the video game FNAF security breach, lots of secrets that haven't been uncovered, some unexplained glitched video game cabinets that are not part of the princess quest series, and enough buggy codes and errors in the actual source of the game that half of them don't work or are accidentally skipped by the players.
Until it gets a lot of patches and fixes I'm not entirely sure we know exactly what the story is for Shadow to even visit!
Also Monday is probably not going to have an update because of the horrific procedure I'm going to go through. Once again I'll state for the record: any medical work that requires 5 days of medicine before you can even start it is going to suck.

Arc 4: Hello! A shady introduction!
- Location
- Here
Jackie was confused, and floating.
"...rn back, come on…"
It was relaxing, and comforting, and pitch black.
"...ou can do it, Jackie…"
While before, he had felt watched as something H̺̭̝͕̗ͅu̟̻n̗͓̥͈͎͎g̻̞ͅr̪͕̳y̺ waited to torment him, now?
"...h yeah? Well, if you insist…"
Now the D͜͏̸͞a̵̶̶̵͢r̴̡̕͜k͏̶̧͏n͏̷͜͞ȩ̷͟͠ş̴̕͞s̴͢͠ felt so soothing and quiet…
"..ust saying, I can't kiss you if you got those sharp teeth…"
Wait, WHAT!?
The world SNAPPED into focus as everything refocused. "AHhhhh!? Uh?"
Jackie blinked as Jenny giggled, amused for some reason. "Jenny?"
She smirked, but her face clearly showed great relief. "Changed back now, ratface?"
Huh? "What?"
Her hands waved at the walls. "Well, the forest of hands thing went away, you don't have glowing black and pink eyes, and your mouth is finally defanged."
Was… Wasn't that a dream? "I… What?"
Suddenly concern was back in her eyes. "You alright?"
He focused on one hand.
And without issue, without difficulty, reached out to the D̨͠a̸̡̢͞r̷͘͝͏̕k̡͢n͟͡è̷̛̛͞s̷s̡͢͟ once more.
Like ghosts, a multitude of solid black shadows of his arm shifted behind his suddenly pure white skin and pitch black nails, each finger more a claw now, while the new limbs were following a reversed color scheme. "What the…"
Jenny blinked. "Huh… Your skin didn't shift like that before… Kind of like a doll or something." Her hand touched his without fear, as if he hadn't shifted into something monstrous and wrong and… "Hey, it feels a bit like metal! Neat!"
Her fingernails made little tink noises as she tapped his arm until one of his many shadow limbs caught her wrist with care. "Hang on, let me… Let me focus…"
Something inside him twisted, and his normal arm was back!
Uh. Sortof. "Holy shit, all my scars are gone!"
She snorted. "That was obvious when you came out of the shower naked this morning."
Wait, WHAT!? "I… Uh…"
Jenny laughed! "Yeah, said it was 'more efficient'! You were slowly turning so odd and out of it I figured you were in some sort of 'fight or flight' mode, stuck being all big and scary and stuff."
She sipped from a massive cup of coffee. "It got way more obvious the longer we hung out, like you were dreamwalking or something."
I… Wait… "I remember so many places…" No, he WAS in several places. On that roof, and under that ledge, and… More than just the ability to feel and see from shadows, there were BODIES over there and… "Darklings?"
She nodded. "You kept summoning them from somewhere, but getting you to explain anything was like talking to a young boy. Half your sentences were apologies, but apparently they work for you or something? But they ARE you, and yet are aspects of you or past you or… Well, you were really hard to understand sometimes."
A flex of muscle had a dozen more Darklings summoned around the building in hidden places, places filled with Darkness. Without effort he was watching all the streets and all the hidden places normally left unattended. "There… The whispers are gone."
The endless tormenting sounds and hurtful memories, the twisted words and seductive promises… "Without the voices of the D̢̕a͜ŕ̵̡̕͘ḱ̷̴̕n̕͘͠e̷̷͞s̸̸̛҉s͝͏͞, this… I feel so light and…"
His body shifted and his clothing was swallowed by the Darkness, restructured, and reformed into the finest suit he had ever worn. A space he couldn't name, an Otherworld, seemed to just exist beyond his touch and ready to respond to his desires…
Her hand brought him back. "Focus on me, Jackie. Your other self said something about the Darkness having gone quiet? Something has happened?"
Faint memories and confusion filled his mind. "I… I was begging for help. For anyone to save you, at any cost. I had offered the Darkness anything, any price… And it refused me. Seemed eager to watch your end as I struggled to… And then…"
That odd voice, the feeling of sudden control, and just before everything changed… Something crystalline and strangely pink?
It had saved her. Saved Jenny.
Whatever that odd power had been, Jackie owed it everything. "The endless suffering and rage and sadism and… It all vanished." Not peacefully, either.
Jackie now had memories of something endless and unending being… Squished.
Like, poked into a very tiny place by some tiny hands that were growing ever more frustrated and annoyed.
Whatever it had been, it was not here now. Not that Jackie could tell. "I think something took the voices away. Or stored them? Hidden them? They are locked, gone now."
That Otherworld was even now shifting itself, on a level that felt natural to Jackie. Reacting to the missing voices and endless emotions, that space was warping and twisting and… Well, something.
There were also some odd pink lights here and there, but he couldn't focus on that for now. "What happened? While I was out of it, I mean."
She snorted. "You mashed up an entire criminal empire, saved and/or kidnapped me, then locked us away in this little love hideaway while your army of odd little imp things basically robbed our homes for all our stuff."
Jenny poked his arms, which were normal skin again. "Shoved most of it into your odd forest of arms, and kept pulling stuff out when I asked for it. Since then? We mostly laid low while everyone freaked out. I think the current story was some sort of infighting that went REALLY bad, and a LOT of dirty info has been found when noses were being nosy."
His own mind began supplying odd memories and actions taken by the substantially less violent Darklings over the last few days. Altering evidence here and there, shifting case files… Huh. "How the hell am I not a suspect in this? Neither are you! That… What?"
She shrugged. "Apparently our records and stuff were messed with by Uncle Paulie, since he planned on making us both disappear. We supposedly were eloping, and were supposed to vanish into the night."
That familiar rage began oozing back.
That was right.
Uncle Paulie was still alive.
Finger snaps suddenly interrupted his rage. "No! None of that!"
Jenny smirked at his confusion. "Right now, dear Uncle Paulie accidently got caught in a LOT of trouble when that mess got investigated. He is a very useful patsy, gives us both an airtight alibi, and a good excuse for both of us to elope without me feeling guilty about leaving this terrible place."
The burning HATE! But he!
Wait. "Elope?"
Her grin was epic. "My crap was basically destroyed while I was kidnapped anyway, I got fired already for skipping work for a month, you can't go back home to that shity apartment safely either, and people will be searching for me… Nothing tying us down, nothing holding us back!"
Her arms were suddenly wrapped around his, and she felt so warm. "You get into so much trouble all the time, and I had a serious wake up call… A bit of a honeymoon and a new life sounds like the perfect plan to me."
But… "How would we…"
She pointed at a stack of oddly familiar duffle bags. "While you were mentally out of it, I asked you for a coffee refill and you sent out Darklings to handle it. And they stole that. All of that. I'm pretty sure the only reason Uncle Paulie is actually seeing consequences despite being the Don and all his crooked police connections is due to all his funding having vanished overnight."
That… Well, that would do it. "I see?"
Her scent smelled like home. "Relax, ratface. You and me, we can do this… Alright?"
In the end, did anything else matter? "Alright." But… "I might fuck up."
She snorted. "Nah, we'll fuck up together."
And they would be fine.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Oooh!
Another swirling portal, but this one had those cute little pink lines that were so familiar!
Plus, it seemed that if you did a twist like THAT and a twirl like THIS, it would not only convert the Darkling spirits passing through into a semi-corporeal state (Super solid ghosts, not actually biological)... But tag them for automatic retrieval!
{{[[We… Will…]]}}
This was what shadow needed! Great!
Again, after who knew how many times already, the small Heartless carefully caught an escaping fragment of The Darkness and returned it to its torso.
Bad snack.
{{[[We Will CONSUME You, Abomination!]]}}
The shadow blinked.
Hmm?
Oh.
That's right… The Darkness had a habit of consuming not only Souls and the energy of the spirit, but flesh and hearts and Hearts as well!
Well, now shadow just felt silly for not looking up those delicious memories FIRST when absorbing this thing!
Its pink eyes turned to one three clawed hand… And it began to twist.
No. Not right. Closer, but no. A hand of eyes? Huh. Neat, but not what it was aiming for.
Ah! There we go!
The Darkness suddenly stilled as the shadow's hand twisted into a cheerful Ģr̨͡҉i̢̡ņ̢͢͢!
Or maybe it was due to the bright pink fangs/teeth being shown off?
{{[[What!? WAIT! NO!]]}}
A little body alteration and shadow's torso was now a maw, pink dentures ready to chomp!
{{[[NO!]]}}
C̀͢͏̴̟͕̙̭̮̩̙r̸͍̪̮͎͖̳͉̟̦͙̞͎̗͕̳̩͠ͅù͙̜̙̩̠̟͖̲̯͚̗͈̀n̞̦͍͓̦̰͖̳͡c̛͙͎͓̙̩̳̭̣̬̣͇̦͇͝͠h̫̪̩̩̻̠̜̙͈̠̮̭́͘!
.
A flood of memories and context and madness and sadness and loneliness and abuse and…
The shadow shook its head as Shadow Ofadam woke up.
Huh.
That… That had been a trip.
Shadow stretched as his torso twisted back into something more like a standard heartless… Almost felt like his back was sore from having that stupid meal struggle for so long! How inconsiderate of that snack!
Right uh… How did he get here? Like, not as in here 'next to interesting portals', but here as in 'Oops, accidentally went to the wrong Realm' type of here?
Vague memories of D̹̭̤e͙͎v̜̹̠̪̲o̗͇̙u͇͍͎͓ͅr̻̭̤͇̦̳in̲͎͓̦̻̖g͖̜̗ into himself didn't offer much.
Not enough data in that to control the destination, at least.
Oh! Maybe the gem would know!
Shadow reached into himself and carefully lifted the glowing pink crystal heart into his hand.
And his near featureless face split into a brand new G̝̣̣͖r̦͖̹̩̻i̙̺̗͔̭̦̗n̥̬̱͉̪̠̩! "Hisssss!"
Uh. Wait, that wasn't right. "Hiss? Hiss! Hiss… Hiss."
Damn it, other things talked ALL the damned time! How hard could this be!?
Right, with feeling this time! "Hiss hiss hiss hissss!"
Shadow blinked as the glowing gem started pulsing with laughter. Oh, real funny rock lady! I don't see YOU talking any time soon!
The rock glowed smugly.
Well whatever. Shadow shifted the rock within a harness of Darkness secured inside his back so it could at least see around on its own, and began wandering through the strange battlefield Otherworld that was slowly shifting into a replica of New York City.
You know, if New York City was made from buildings with glowing pink highlights.
What was up with this?
The gem was even MORE smug.
She was so sassy! Ha!
Shadow gave her another hug and kept wandering about while carefully testing his new skills. If they could be called that, some were pretty basic.
A bit of limb addition and alteration, some interesting pseudo guns and special armor options, the ability to summon portals into Darkness that acted as black holes… Nothing that cool.
After all, body modification had always been simple for even the weakest Heartless. They had such a basic design normally due to apathy, not due to lack of ability. Without a stronger sense of self and more desires other than Hunger, it was more energy conservative to be tiny and mostly smooth.
Also made naps super fun. Sleeping as a big person? Sucks most of the time.
But at this size? Nearly every pillow was a big fluffy bed! Couches were decadent luxuries! Beds? Soft wonderlands!
Though it didn't feel like he was making his mouth right. Shadow flexed his jaw, as layer after layer of fangs began shifting position and alignment.
Smiles worked like this, right? You twisted your maw into an upside down arch and forced the fangs to mostly intersect each other? Though it felt like Shadow was missing something… The gem's pulsing humor certainly suggested so, at least.
Another random gun shot at his body as Shadow was elsewhere.
While this area was clearly shifting away from endless warfare, the Souls that resided here had built up habits over time… Until they were worn down to the point of transforming into these Darklings, they tended to follow mortal habits to some extent.
Made it hard to think, really.
Shadow blinked at Gem's pulse.
Good point… This whole place was a bit bad for polishing potential in the first place anyway, the endless fighting and caustic fog that was filled with smog and gunsmoke didn't fix it at all either.
Maybe somewhere else would be a better option? Now that they could communicate better.
Shifting the Gem so she couldn't see, Shadow formed an eel limb and looked into its cheerful pink eyes. Not sure why that happened, something to do with how Gem and his form interacted, but it was cute.
Right, he could do this! "Hiss hiss hiss?"
The tiny fanged face S̻̰m͕i̖̞̮̹͍l͎͍̟͔͔ͅe̼d͇! "Hiss!"
…Sigh, it was like talking to a hand puppet.
And again, Shadow was missing something with his smile attempts.
He'd get the hang of this eventually! That mountain of talking and smiling would be conquered through effort and due diligence!
Just… Not right now.
Consuming his jaws and extra limbs, Shadow pulled Gem into an embrace and then focused within.
Find the flavor, find the scent, find the way that Shadow went!
Shadow Consumed Inwards…
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Oops.
Shadow was uh… Much smaller. And somehow not made of the same stuff.
But now there were lots of friends! Hello friends!
"Hmm?"
Something large shifted, but at this size it was hard to see. Hello, large thing!
"What's wrong with that Susuwatari? Soot sprites shouldn't have pink eyes…"
Communication, Shadow could do that! Right, do the shimmy this way and shake these tiny limbs… Why only four limbs? And they were thin as hairs too, it made it really hard to boogie down a conversation like this.
"Huh."
Yes! Take THAT you silly Gem, clearly Shadow is the KING of communication! Now, who are you, my incredibly big, multilimbed friend? Ooh, and what am I? A soot sprite? Huh? Huh?
"Well, you're a lively one, at least."
Somewhere else, still in the Darkness, the Gem was pulsing with giggles.
Sigh.
Right, learn how to communicate. That is now MUCH higher on the priority list.
At least this big giant person had a decent number of limbs to work with. Six was always a good start! "Well, this old man Kamaji has seen odder things working here. Go work with the rest, and add coal to the boiler furnace."
Oh… This was some sort of massive boiler room! Neat!
And where was… Oh! Lots of brothers and sisters (though apparently of neither gender) right over there! Hello friends!
Hey! They waved back! Gem, did you see them wave back?
A pulse of amusement came from the Darkness, and a pink eyed floofy Shadow scurried over to help them do whatever they were doing.
Apparently today? Moving huge boulders of coal and tossing it into that big burning hole over there!
How interesting!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Kamaji kept one of his eyes on the odd little Makkuro kurosuke, but the strange pink eyed soot sprite didn't seem too different from the other thousands that worked down here in the boiler room.
Just… A bit too enthusiastic. And a little too intelligent.
Normally spirits like these only existed while they had purpose, a side effect of the high density of magic that lingered in this bathhouse. Considering the massive number of yōkai that lived, worked, and visited here, a few oddballs should probably have been expected.
Maybe it was another odd experiment of Yubaba's? The owner of this place, as a powerful witch, did have odd habits. It wouldn't be out of character for her to have been distracted by something interesting and let something this tiny escape.
Well, if so it was good fortune for the tiny soot sprite.
Plus, it was giving a good effort as it lugged massive chunks of coal over to the furnace.
Meh, as long as it didn't go too odd, it should be fine.
He checked the next set of Bath Tokens… Right, need this mixture for the next bath water mixture to be sent up, best get mixing. He'd ask Lin to keep an eye on the little odd thing, as a fox spirit she should be able to detect any trickery going on here.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
This was fun!
Shadow shuffled his fuzzy little body over to the coal pile and picked one of the larger chunks for transit. At first the other soot spirits tried to help, which was cute and all, but forced Shadow to manipulate the Darkness within the coal's cracks and edges to drastically lower the things weight.
More than one of these odd things got squished and seemed to just accept it as part of life, not hurt in the least… But it was more fun to help the little guys lift massive building size blocks of coal and then all wave their tiny arms together in celebration after a big victory!
Well, building size for normal people like all of them.
Giants like Boss Kamaji didn't count, even if he did have many arms and a clean outfit and a very impressive mustache!
Over and over, back and forth, we work all day to move the coal…
When we stop? None will know! Until such time? We have our goal!
Shadow attempted to hum again in glee, but it was a bit tricky. This was another form that didn't really have a mouth, and attempting to crack one open nearly destroyed the entire soot spirit body thing that formed this creature.
So, no talk practice right now.
But humming sort of worked! It involved vibrating the fluffy fuzzy body at just the right tempo, and honestly was a bit hard to hear considering how loud this place was and all that.
But Gem loved his performance, and she pulsed along to the beat.
Suddenly the work ended and… And what?
All the other soot sprites rushed over to those holes over there.
Oh. Alright! Shadow can do that!
Whee!
And Shadow was within the Darkness and there were so many fuzzy buddies! Hello! Hi! I'm Shadow! You have cute little arms too! Hi! Dance with me!
This was a great trip! Less food though. Also, when in the shade like this, it was much easier for Shadow to summon up extra limbs and stuff and maybe an eel tentacle if needed to practice smiling, but these fuzzy buddies seemed a bit skittish and it was probably a bad idea.
Hmm? They all seemed excited for some reason?
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Lin blinked, her humanoid form so polished that it came naturally. "I'm sorry?"
Kamaji began making tea even as he tidied up and turned to focus on the young lady. "I'm hoping that, as a servant who spends much more time interacting with others than myself, you may have heard something."
She snorted. "Witch Yubaba is hardly going to talk to us about any of her issues, especially if it isn't directly related to working harder or gaining more profit. An escaped experiment would either be so important that she would immediately bring down her wrath on everyone or so insignificant that she wouldn't even pay attention."
Honestly, even with the danger of working near someone so powerful… There were far worse jobs out there, working under far more deadly people of notoriety. There was a reason this bathhouse was so well known in the spiritual world, after all.
He hummed as his other limbs carefully unpacked his meal. "I suppose. Still, it's the oddest little thing I've seen in some time. At least it is a hard worker, and seems happy to help the other ones with their work keeping the furnace burning."
Sigh. Right, best double check it. "Where is the little thing, then?"
The spider demon waved towards the wall and the tiny black sprites that were peeking out at them. "Ran in there with the others. You'll know it when you see it, just look for the black fuzzy creature with bright pink eyes."
Huh. Alright, it should be easy enough to get a good sense of the thing if she fed the tiny horde like usual. "Come on everyone! Got some Konpeitō for snackies!"
Oops, better scatter a few handfuls before her feet get covered in tiny black puff balls!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Konpeitō was apparently a type of candy soaked in magical power. Or spirit power? Shadow hadn't tasted it before, and frankly it paled in contrast to the delicious taste of sin and cruelty and maliciousness… But it WAS candy, after all!
Om Nom Nom!
Oh, these poor soot creatures had to absorb it just like Shadow had to, back in the time before S̼̗̻m͔͕̙̺̖̣̣i͚̦͖̫l̥̰̯̫e̘̫̮s̞̪̯̬!
Guys, guys… Just do this with your surface and twist here and o̬̪pe͉̥ͅn̰̜̺̙̝ w̭͉͈͕͙͓̜̰̻̪͍̰̞ͅi̳̯̤̙͔͔̦̖̫̠̝͕̣͖͉̗̰̳͔d̲͇̠̯̥͖̘̬̘̤̪̭̖̖̱ẹ̹̭̣̼͖͇!
Mmm! Good candy!
Shadow blinked, chewing slower and slower.
All the fuzzy buddies were staring at him.
So were the big giant people.
Did… Did they want his candy?
But they had their own already! This was HIS candy!
As casually as possible, he shifted the rest of his hoard of confectionary joy to one side, out of view.
Damn it, he wasn't good enough at mouths to whistle! How was he supposed to show off how innocent he was!? Gem, help!
It just pulsed in… Exasperation? Huh?
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Both yokai stared at the tiny 'soot sprite' that had opened a demonic maw filled with bright and happy pink fangs to devour the colorful candy.
It had noticed the shock from the crowd fairly quickly, and was now… Trying to scootch over to the black cubby holes on the wall while dragging a small pile of candy.
They just… Stared at it.
Kamaji blinked behind his dark glasses. "That was… Unusual."
Lin forced back a snarl! "THAT is NOT a soot sprite! I've NEVER seen a Susuwatari do ANYTHING close to that!"
She wracked her brain, but this fanged thing didn't match anything that came to mind quickly. There were many shape shifting creatures of course, many spirits and demons and things that could hide or imitate other forms…
But hide from the senses of a fox spirit?
VERY few were on that list!
Until it casually tore itself open and exposed a maw of deadly sharp fangs MUCH LARGER than its entire body, she hadn't sensed anything odd at ALL!
What had that kind of power!? That kind of skill!?
Her emerging freakout was paused as a powerful hand gently gripped her shoulder. "Calm down. I don't think it means any harm."
But SHE hadn't senesed it! Despite actively sensing for it! "What IS it!?"
A person with six arms shrugging made a fairly big impression. "From what I can tell, a bit hungry." He pointed at the hole that was being carefully stuffed with a small mound of candy by a nonchalant pink monster.
The pile was slightly too big to push in all at once while 'hidden' behind the soot sprite's back, and the process of 'escaping' was taking a lot longer than the tiny thing had expected. Clearly.
The attempts to escape with loot actually helped Lin calm down a bit.
Right, she worked with deadly and dangerous beings every day. Just… Normally she could always track them, sense them, and had escape plans in the back of her mind.
Calm down.
Right. "Here everyone! I still have some snackies!"
It was the unknown, THAT was why she had freaked out so badly. Something outside her control and awareness, an unexpected danger from a surprising source.
If her hands shook slightly feeding the crowd, Kamaji had the courtesy to not mention it. "I… I'll ask around the bathhouse, and I'll let you know what I find. If no one has any ideas…"
He sighed. "Yes. It may be best to inform Ms. Yubaba. Just in case."
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Here in the Darkness, Shadow was able to sneak away all the delicious candy stars inside himself for future snacks!
Not the soot body, but his Heartless form… Trying to store that candy in this new shape would probably damage it or take so long to finish a meal that someone might take his other snacks first!
At least it was easier to show some self discipline with food of only this tier.
Unlike the mouth watering scent and smell of corrupt beings, candy was just very very good… Plus, Gem was right there surrounded by the pretty colored and shaped confectionary delights…She was able to keep an eye on all of them. Good job, Gem!
Now, how to get more snacks…
Maybe Shadow should try and lay low a bit?
That way everyone would stop staring and he could sneak about and maybe find more of this delicious candy! Or he could be elsewhere and get more candy now that he knew giant people just threw it around everywhere!
Shadow was a fuzzy soot sprite with a plan! Oh yeah!
Right, better remove the maw entirely for now, having a mouth while thinking about candy tended to make him drool and that wasn't being stealthy.
In the end, Shadow managed to get a few more pieces of candy from the other fuzzy buddies.
Apparently other fuzzy buddies just sort of caused the sugar to combust to gain more soot for their forms or something? How wasteful. Several had collected more candy than they could even carry, so it was easy to borrow a few.
Things had felt a bit awkward at first, with more than a little bit of staring… But they all seemed to be alright hanging out with Shadow again, so it's all good!
And now it was time to go get the coal from over THERE and throw it into the metal flap hole thing over HERE once again!
Yay!
Shadow was super good at this stuff! And getting candy!
He was good at getting candy AND moving coal!
Oh, and the giant person kept giving him looks for some reason. Probably because of how good Shadow was at moving the coal and how amazing his candy gathering skills were compared to everyone else!
But big people didn't matter, so for now… Onward fuzzy brethren! Coal for the furnace gods!
"...rn back, come on…"
It was relaxing, and comforting, and pitch black.
"...ou can do it, Jackie…"
While before, he had felt watched as something H̺̭̝͕̗ͅu̟̻n̗͓̥͈͎͎g̻̞ͅr̪͕̳y̺ waited to torment him, now?
"...h yeah? Well, if you insist…"
Now the D͜͏̸͞a̵̶̶̵͢r̴̡̕͜k͏̶̧͏n͏̷͜͞ȩ̷͟͠ş̴̕͞s̴͢͠ felt so soothing and quiet…
"..ust saying, I can't kiss you if you got those sharp teeth…"
Wait, WHAT!?
The world SNAPPED into focus as everything refocused. "AHhhhh!? Uh?"
Jackie blinked as Jenny giggled, amused for some reason. "Jenny?"
She smirked, but her face clearly showed great relief. "Changed back now, ratface?"
Huh? "What?"
Her hands waved at the walls. "Well, the forest of hands thing went away, you don't have glowing black and pink eyes, and your mouth is finally defanged."
Was… Wasn't that a dream? "I… What?"
Suddenly concern was back in her eyes. "You alright?"
He focused on one hand.
And without issue, without difficulty, reached out to the D̨͠a̸̡̢͞r̷͘͝͏̕k̡͢n͟͡è̷̛̛͞s̷s̡͢͟ once more.
Like ghosts, a multitude of solid black shadows of his arm shifted behind his suddenly pure white skin and pitch black nails, each finger more a claw now, while the new limbs were following a reversed color scheme. "What the…"
Jenny blinked. "Huh… Your skin didn't shift like that before… Kind of like a doll or something." Her hand touched his without fear, as if he hadn't shifted into something monstrous and wrong and… "Hey, it feels a bit like metal! Neat!"
Her fingernails made little tink noises as she tapped his arm until one of his many shadow limbs caught her wrist with care. "Hang on, let me… Let me focus…"
Something inside him twisted, and his normal arm was back!
Uh. Sortof. "Holy shit, all my scars are gone!"
She snorted. "That was obvious when you came out of the shower naked this morning."

I… Wait… "I remember so many places…" No, he WAS in several places. On that roof, and under that ledge, and… More than just the ability to feel and see from shadows, there were BODIES over there and… "Darklings?"
She nodded. "You kept summoning them from somewhere, but getting you to explain anything was like talking to a young boy. Half your sentences were apologies, but apparently they work for you or something? But they ARE you, and yet are aspects of you or past you or… Well, you were really hard to understand sometimes."
A flex of muscle had a dozen more Darklings summoned around the building in hidden places, places filled with Darkness. Without effort he was watching all the streets and all the hidden places normally left unattended. "There… The whispers are gone."
The endless tormenting sounds and hurtful memories, the twisted words and seductive promises… "Without the voices of the D̢̕a͜ŕ̵̡̕͘ḱ̷̴̕n̕͘͠e̷̷͞s̸̸̛҉s͝͏͞, this… I feel so light and…"
His body shifted and his clothing was swallowed by the Darkness, restructured, and reformed into the finest suit he had ever worn. A space he couldn't name, an Otherworld, seemed to just exist beyond his touch and ready to respond to his desires…
Her hand brought him back. "Focus on me, Jackie. Your other self said something about the Darkness having gone quiet? Something has happened?"
Faint memories and confusion filled his mind. "I… I was begging for help. For anyone to save you, at any cost. I had offered the Darkness anything, any price… And it refused me. Seemed eager to watch your end as I struggled to… And then…"
That odd voice, the feeling of sudden control, and just before everything changed… Something crystalline and strangely pink?
It had saved her. Saved Jenny.
Whatever that odd power had been, Jackie owed it everything. "The endless suffering and rage and sadism and… It all vanished." Not peacefully, either.
Jackie now had memories of something endless and unending being… Squished.
Like, poked into a very tiny place by some tiny hands that were growing ever more frustrated and annoyed.
Whatever it had been, it was not here now. Not that Jackie could tell. "I think something took the voices away. Or stored them? Hidden them? They are locked, gone now."
That Otherworld was even now shifting itself, on a level that felt natural to Jackie. Reacting to the missing voices and endless emotions, that space was warping and twisting and… Well, something.
There were also some odd pink lights here and there, but he couldn't focus on that for now. "What happened? While I was out of it, I mean."
She snorted. "You mashed up an entire criminal empire, saved and/or kidnapped me, then locked us away in this little love hideaway while your army of odd little imp things basically robbed our homes for all our stuff."
Jenny poked his arms, which were normal skin again. "Shoved most of it into your odd forest of arms, and kept pulling stuff out when I asked for it. Since then? We mostly laid low while everyone freaked out. I think the current story was some sort of infighting that went REALLY bad, and a LOT of dirty info has been found when noses were being nosy."
His own mind began supplying odd memories and actions taken by the substantially less violent Darklings over the last few days. Altering evidence here and there, shifting case files… Huh. "How the hell am I not a suspect in this? Neither are you! That… What?"
She shrugged. "Apparently our records and stuff were messed with by Uncle Paulie, since he planned on making us both disappear. We supposedly were eloping, and were supposed to vanish into the night."
That familiar rage began oozing back.
That was right.
Uncle Paulie was still alive.
Finger snaps suddenly interrupted his rage. "No! None of that!"
Jenny smirked at his confusion. "Right now, dear Uncle Paulie accidently got caught in a LOT of trouble when that mess got investigated. He is a very useful patsy, gives us both an airtight alibi, and a good excuse for both of us to elope without me feeling guilty about leaving this terrible place."
The burning HATE! But he!
Wait. "Elope?"
Her grin was epic. "My crap was basically destroyed while I was kidnapped anyway, I got fired already for skipping work for a month, you can't go back home to that shity apartment safely either, and people will be searching for me… Nothing tying us down, nothing holding us back!"
Her arms were suddenly wrapped around his, and she felt so warm. "You get into so much trouble all the time, and I had a serious wake up call… A bit of a honeymoon and a new life sounds like the perfect plan to me."
But… "How would we…"
She pointed at a stack of oddly familiar duffle bags. "While you were mentally out of it, I asked you for a coffee refill and you sent out Darklings to handle it. And they stole that. All of that. I'm pretty sure the only reason Uncle Paulie is actually seeing consequences despite being the Don and all his crooked police connections is due to all his funding having vanished overnight."
That… Well, that would do it. "I see?"
Her scent smelled like home. "Relax, ratface. You and me, we can do this… Alright?"
In the end, did anything else matter? "Alright." But… "I might fuck up."
She snorted. "Nah, we'll fuck up together."
And they would be fine.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Oooh!
Another swirling portal, but this one had those cute little pink lines that were so familiar!
Plus, it seemed that if you did a twist like THAT and a twirl like THIS, it would not only convert the Darkling spirits passing through into a semi-corporeal state (Super solid ghosts, not actually biological)... But tag them for automatic retrieval!
{{[[We… Will…]]}}
This was what shadow needed! Great!
Again, after who knew how many times already, the small Heartless carefully caught an escaping fragment of The Darkness and returned it to its torso.
Bad snack.
{{[[We Will CONSUME You, Abomination!]]}}
The shadow blinked.
Hmm?
Oh.
That's right… The Darkness had a habit of consuming not only Souls and the energy of the spirit, but flesh and hearts and Hearts as well!
Well, now shadow just felt silly for not looking up those delicious memories FIRST when absorbing this thing!
Its pink eyes turned to one three clawed hand… And it began to twist.
No. Not right. Closer, but no. A hand of eyes? Huh. Neat, but not what it was aiming for.
Ah! There we go!
The Darkness suddenly stilled as the shadow's hand twisted into a cheerful Ģr̨͡҉i̢̡ņ̢͢͢!
Or maybe it was due to the bright pink fangs/teeth being shown off?
{{[[What!? WAIT! NO!]]}}
A little body alteration and shadow's torso was now a maw, pink dentures ready to chomp!
{{[[NO!]]}}
C̀͢͏̴̟͕̙̭̮̩̙r̸͍̪̮͎͖̳͉̟̦͙̞͎̗͕̳̩͠ͅù͙̜̙̩̠̟͖̲̯͚̗͈̀n̞̦͍͓̦̰͖̳͡c̛͙͎͓̙̩̳̭̣̬̣͇̦͇͝͠h̫̪̩̩̻̠̜̙͈̠̮̭́͘!
.
A flood of memories and context and madness and sadness and loneliness and abuse and…
The shadow shook its head as Shadow Ofadam woke up.
Huh.
That… That had been a trip.
Shadow stretched as his torso twisted back into something more like a standard heartless… Almost felt like his back was sore from having that stupid meal struggle for so long! How inconsiderate of that snack!
Right uh… How did he get here? Like, not as in here 'next to interesting portals', but here as in 'Oops, accidentally went to the wrong Realm' type of here?
Vague memories of D̹̭̤e͙͎v̜̹̠̪̲o̗͇̙u͇͍͎͓ͅr̻̭̤͇̦̳in̲͎͓̦̻̖g͖̜̗ into himself didn't offer much.
Not enough data in that to control the destination, at least.
Oh! Maybe the gem would know!
Shadow reached into himself and carefully lifted the glowing pink crystal heart into his hand.
And his near featureless face split into a brand new G̝̣̣͖r̦͖̹̩̻i̙̺̗͔̭̦̗n̥̬̱͉̪̠̩! "Hisssss!"
Uh. Wait, that wasn't right. "Hiss? Hiss! Hiss… Hiss."
Damn it, other things talked ALL the damned time! How hard could this be!?
Right, with feeling this time! "Hiss hiss hiss hissss!"
Shadow blinked as the glowing gem started pulsing with laughter. Oh, real funny rock lady! I don't see YOU talking any time soon!
The rock glowed smugly.
Well whatever. Shadow shifted the rock within a harness of Darkness secured inside his back so it could at least see around on its own, and began wandering through the strange battlefield Otherworld that was slowly shifting into a replica of New York City.
You know, if New York City was made from buildings with glowing pink highlights.
What was up with this?
The gem was even MORE smug.
She was so sassy! Ha!
Shadow gave her another hug and kept wandering about while carefully testing his new skills. If they could be called that, some were pretty basic.
A bit of limb addition and alteration, some interesting pseudo guns and special armor options, the ability to summon portals into Darkness that acted as black holes… Nothing that cool.
After all, body modification had always been simple for even the weakest Heartless. They had such a basic design normally due to apathy, not due to lack of ability. Without a stronger sense of self and more desires other than Hunger, it was more energy conservative to be tiny and mostly smooth.
Also made naps super fun. Sleeping as a big person? Sucks most of the time.
But at this size? Nearly every pillow was a big fluffy bed! Couches were decadent luxuries! Beds? Soft wonderlands!
Though it didn't feel like he was making his mouth right. Shadow flexed his jaw, as layer after layer of fangs began shifting position and alignment.
Smiles worked like this, right? You twisted your maw into an upside down arch and forced the fangs to mostly intersect each other? Though it felt like Shadow was missing something… The gem's pulsing humor certainly suggested so, at least.
Another random gun shot at his body as Shadow was elsewhere.
While this area was clearly shifting away from endless warfare, the Souls that resided here had built up habits over time… Until they were worn down to the point of transforming into these Darklings, they tended to follow mortal habits to some extent.
Made it hard to think, really.
Shadow blinked at Gem's pulse.
Good point… This whole place was a bit bad for polishing potential in the first place anyway, the endless fighting and caustic fog that was filled with smog and gunsmoke didn't fix it at all either.
Maybe somewhere else would be a better option? Now that they could communicate better.
Shifting the Gem so she couldn't see, Shadow formed an eel limb and looked into its cheerful pink eyes. Not sure why that happened, something to do with how Gem and his form interacted, but it was cute.
Right, he could do this! "Hiss hiss hiss?"
The tiny fanged face S̻̰m͕i̖̞̮̹͍l͎͍̟͔͔ͅe̼d͇! "Hiss!"
…Sigh, it was like talking to a hand puppet.
And again, Shadow was missing something with his smile attempts.
He'd get the hang of this eventually! That mountain of talking and smiling would be conquered through effort and due diligence!
Just… Not right now.
Consuming his jaws and extra limbs, Shadow pulled Gem into an embrace and then focused within.
Find the flavor, find the scent, find the way that Shadow went!
Shadow Consumed Inwards…
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Oops.
Shadow was uh… Much smaller. And somehow not made of the same stuff.
But now there were lots of friends! Hello friends!
"Hmm?"
Something large shifted, but at this size it was hard to see. Hello, large thing!
"What's wrong with that Susuwatari? Soot sprites shouldn't have pink eyes…"
Communication, Shadow could do that! Right, do the shimmy this way and shake these tiny limbs… Why only four limbs? And they were thin as hairs too, it made it really hard to boogie down a conversation like this.
"Huh."
Yes! Take THAT you silly Gem, clearly Shadow is the KING of communication! Now, who are you, my incredibly big, multilimbed friend? Ooh, and what am I? A soot sprite? Huh? Huh?
"Well, you're a lively one, at least."
Somewhere else, still in the Darkness, the Gem was pulsing with giggles.
Sigh.
Right, learn how to communicate. That is now MUCH higher on the priority list.
At least this big giant person had a decent number of limbs to work with. Six was always a good start! "Well, this old man Kamaji has seen odder things working here. Go work with the rest, and add coal to the boiler furnace."
Oh… This was some sort of massive boiler room! Neat!
And where was… Oh! Lots of brothers and sisters (though apparently of neither gender) right over there! Hello friends!
Hey! They waved back! Gem, did you see them wave back?
A pulse of amusement came from the Darkness, and a pink eyed floofy Shadow scurried over to help them do whatever they were doing.
Apparently today? Moving huge boulders of coal and tossing it into that big burning hole over there!
How interesting!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Kamaji kept one of his eyes on the odd little Makkuro kurosuke, but the strange pink eyed soot sprite didn't seem too different from the other thousands that worked down here in the boiler room.
Just… A bit too enthusiastic. And a little too intelligent.
Normally spirits like these only existed while they had purpose, a side effect of the high density of magic that lingered in this bathhouse. Considering the massive number of yōkai that lived, worked, and visited here, a few oddballs should probably have been expected.
Maybe it was another odd experiment of Yubaba's? The owner of this place, as a powerful witch, did have odd habits. It wouldn't be out of character for her to have been distracted by something interesting and let something this tiny escape.
Well, if so it was good fortune for the tiny soot sprite.
Plus, it was giving a good effort as it lugged massive chunks of coal over to the furnace.
Meh, as long as it didn't go too odd, it should be fine.
He checked the next set of Bath Tokens… Right, need this mixture for the next bath water mixture to be sent up, best get mixing. He'd ask Lin to keep an eye on the little odd thing, as a fox spirit she should be able to detect any trickery going on here.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
This was fun!
Shadow shuffled his fuzzy little body over to the coal pile and picked one of the larger chunks for transit. At first the other soot spirits tried to help, which was cute and all, but forced Shadow to manipulate the Darkness within the coal's cracks and edges to drastically lower the things weight.
More than one of these odd things got squished and seemed to just accept it as part of life, not hurt in the least… But it was more fun to help the little guys lift massive building size blocks of coal and then all wave their tiny arms together in celebration after a big victory!
Well, building size for normal people like all of them.
Giants like Boss Kamaji didn't count, even if he did have many arms and a clean outfit and a very impressive mustache!
Over and over, back and forth, we work all day to move the coal…
When we stop? None will know! Until such time? We have our goal!
Shadow attempted to hum again in glee, but it was a bit tricky. This was another form that didn't really have a mouth, and attempting to crack one open nearly destroyed the entire soot spirit body thing that formed this creature.
So, no talk practice right now.
But humming sort of worked! It involved vibrating the fluffy fuzzy body at just the right tempo, and honestly was a bit hard to hear considering how loud this place was and all that.
But Gem loved his performance, and she pulsed along to the beat.
Suddenly the work ended and… And what?
All the other soot sprites rushed over to those holes over there.
Oh. Alright! Shadow can do that!
Whee!
And Shadow was within the Darkness and there were so many fuzzy buddies! Hello! Hi! I'm Shadow! You have cute little arms too! Hi! Dance with me!
This was a great trip! Less food though. Also, when in the shade like this, it was much easier for Shadow to summon up extra limbs and stuff and maybe an eel tentacle if needed to practice smiling, but these fuzzy buddies seemed a bit skittish and it was probably a bad idea.
Hmm? They all seemed excited for some reason?
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Lin blinked, her humanoid form so polished that it came naturally. "I'm sorry?"
Kamaji began making tea even as he tidied up and turned to focus on the young lady. "I'm hoping that, as a servant who spends much more time interacting with others than myself, you may have heard something."
She snorted. "Witch Yubaba is hardly going to talk to us about any of her issues, especially if it isn't directly related to working harder or gaining more profit. An escaped experiment would either be so important that she would immediately bring down her wrath on everyone or so insignificant that she wouldn't even pay attention."
Honestly, even with the danger of working near someone so powerful… There were far worse jobs out there, working under far more deadly people of notoriety. There was a reason this bathhouse was so well known in the spiritual world, after all.
He hummed as his other limbs carefully unpacked his meal. "I suppose. Still, it's the oddest little thing I've seen in some time. At least it is a hard worker, and seems happy to help the other ones with their work keeping the furnace burning."
Sigh. Right, best double check it. "Where is the little thing, then?"
The spider demon waved towards the wall and the tiny black sprites that were peeking out at them. "Ran in there with the others. You'll know it when you see it, just look for the black fuzzy creature with bright pink eyes."
Huh. Alright, it should be easy enough to get a good sense of the thing if she fed the tiny horde like usual. "Come on everyone! Got some Konpeitō for snackies!"
Oops, better scatter a few handfuls before her feet get covered in tiny black puff balls!
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Konpeitō was apparently a type of candy soaked in magical power. Or spirit power? Shadow hadn't tasted it before, and frankly it paled in contrast to the delicious taste of sin and cruelty and maliciousness… But it WAS candy, after all!
Om Nom Nom!
Oh, these poor soot creatures had to absorb it just like Shadow had to, back in the time before S̼̗̻m͔͕̙̺̖̣̣i͚̦͖̫l̥̰̯̫e̘̫̮s̞̪̯̬!
Guys, guys… Just do this with your surface and twist here and o̬̪pe͉̥ͅn̰̜̺̙̝ w̭͉͈͕͙͓̜̰̻̪͍̰̞ͅi̳̯̤̙͔͔̦̖̫̠̝͕̣͖͉̗̰̳͔d̲͇̠̯̥͖̘̬̘̤̪̭̖̖̱ẹ̹̭̣̼͖͇!
Mmm! Good candy!
Shadow blinked, chewing slower and slower.
All the fuzzy buddies were staring at him.
So were the big giant people.
Did… Did they want his candy?
But they had their own already! This was HIS candy!
As casually as possible, he shifted the rest of his hoard of confectionary joy to one side, out of view.
Damn it, he wasn't good enough at mouths to whistle! How was he supposed to show off how innocent he was!? Gem, help!
It just pulsed in… Exasperation? Huh?
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Both yokai stared at the tiny 'soot sprite' that had opened a demonic maw filled with bright and happy pink fangs to devour the colorful candy.
It had noticed the shock from the crowd fairly quickly, and was now… Trying to scootch over to the black cubby holes on the wall while dragging a small pile of candy.
They just… Stared at it.
Kamaji blinked behind his dark glasses. "That was… Unusual."
Lin forced back a snarl! "THAT is NOT a soot sprite! I've NEVER seen a Susuwatari do ANYTHING close to that!"
She wracked her brain, but this fanged thing didn't match anything that came to mind quickly. There were many shape shifting creatures of course, many spirits and demons and things that could hide or imitate other forms…
But hide from the senses of a fox spirit?
VERY few were on that list!
Until it casually tore itself open and exposed a maw of deadly sharp fangs MUCH LARGER than its entire body, she hadn't sensed anything odd at ALL!
What had that kind of power!? That kind of skill!?
Her emerging freakout was paused as a powerful hand gently gripped her shoulder. "Calm down. I don't think it means any harm."
But SHE hadn't senesed it! Despite actively sensing for it! "What IS it!?"
A person with six arms shrugging made a fairly big impression. "From what I can tell, a bit hungry." He pointed at the hole that was being carefully stuffed with a small mound of candy by a nonchalant pink monster.
The pile was slightly too big to push in all at once while 'hidden' behind the soot sprite's back, and the process of 'escaping' was taking a lot longer than the tiny thing had expected. Clearly.
The attempts to escape with loot actually helped Lin calm down a bit.
Right, she worked with deadly and dangerous beings every day. Just… Normally she could always track them, sense them, and had escape plans in the back of her mind.
Calm down.
Right. "Here everyone! I still have some snackies!"
It was the unknown, THAT was why she had freaked out so badly. Something outside her control and awareness, an unexpected danger from a surprising source.
If her hands shook slightly feeding the crowd, Kamaji had the courtesy to not mention it. "I… I'll ask around the bathhouse, and I'll let you know what I find. If no one has any ideas…"
He sighed. "Yes. It may be best to inform Ms. Yubaba. Just in case."
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Here in the Darkness, Shadow was able to sneak away all the delicious candy stars inside himself for future snacks!
Not the soot body, but his Heartless form… Trying to store that candy in this new shape would probably damage it or take so long to finish a meal that someone might take his other snacks first!
At least it was easier to show some self discipline with food of only this tier.
Unlike the mouth watering scent and smell of corrupt beings, candy was just very very good… Plus, Gem was right there surrounded by the pretty colored and shaped confectionary delights…She was able to keep an eye on all of them. Good job, Gem!
Now, how to get more snacks…
Maybe Shadow should try and lay low a bit?
That way everyone would stop staring and he could sneak about and maybe find more of this delicious candy! Or he could be elsewhere and get more candy now that he knew giant people just threw it around everywhere!
Shadow was a fuzzy soot sprite with a plan! Oh yeah!
Right, better remove the maw entirely for now, having a mouth while thinking about candy tended to make him drool and that wasn't being stealthy.
In the end, Shadow managed to get a few more pieces of candy from the other fuzzy buddies.
Apparently other fuzzy buddies just sort of caused the sugar to combust to gain more soot for their forms or something? How wasteful. Several had collected more candy than they could even carry, so it was easy to borrow a few.
Things had felt a bit awkward at first, with more than a little bit of staring… But they all seemed to be alright hanging out with Shadow again, so it's all good!
And now it was time to go get the coal from over THERE and throw it into the metal flap hole thing over HERE once again!
Yay!
Shadow was super good at this stuff! And getting candy!
He was good at getting candy AND moving coal!
Oh, and the giant person kept giving him looks for some reason. Probably because of how good Shadow was at moving the coal and how amazing his candy gathering skills were compared to everyone else!
But big people didn't matter, so for now… Onward fuzzy brethren! Coal for the furnace gods!

Well
Yubaba be in for a headache
Depending if this is before or after sen
She may just be wondering if someone is screwing with her
And this would explain things a little about this oddball shadow who was smarter than the others
It's the adam shard not the heart jewel, or mayhaps the recipient of the shard or the kingdom hearts equivalent of adam, I'd imagine that kh version of adam would probably be part of the same war of the master of masters own past before union cross, probably fiddled with darkness too much and got swallowed because let's face it
Adam is a damned cat full of curiosity about to wack a hammer into a nuke to see if it's a dud, without much of the robs power he got at the very beginning, boom goes the cat
Makes one wonder if the heart thing is the kingdom hearts equivalent of a lesser grail from the fate series, a mini kingdom hearts born of the leftovers of those devoured by the pure bloods possibly? Powerful but not necessarily universe shattering maybe the shards of the very first keyblade war? Or something else?

Actually it may turn out well to some degree, no face mimics and reflects, adam has a lot more weight on the ontological side despite his current form if anything it may make no face....
Eccentric
And that's if we are before chihiro arrived at the bath house
Otherwise I could imagine zeniba laughing her head off when she learns about adam working for yubaba
Yubaba technically has the best worker possible it just so happens he's the most likely to drive her up the wall
Zeniba and adam, I could imagine the mad haters tea party so to speak while yubaba and adam
It would be a comedy, Dennis the menace most likely
