[He wouldn't have normally thought about it, but since John's post about ghost walks...]

That thing everyone keeps seeing in the maze... It's a student, right? There's no way it's something like a ghost or a monster!

...Right?

[Ashley takes a moment before responding, trying to decide if she wants to accept the blame immediately or let this drag on for awhile. She's well aware that some people have seen her out there—or rather, what she's doing out there, so a message like this one was pretty inevitable.

She settles on letting it drag on, to keep people guessing for a bit.]

It has to be a student. Ghosts and monsters aren't real.

[phew, someone who wasn't going to mess with him! Or so he thinks]

That's what I thought! But I wonder who that student is. Do you think they make actual things or just shadows?

[she might not like dealing with people, but the last thing she needs is to cause another incident here when causing incidents at her last school was what brought her here to begin with. Alhough...that previous school's incident was from creating her shadow constructs right there in the classroom, as opposed to simply discussing it on a school-operated message board, one where topics like this were probably pretty normal.

So, she won't mess with him here. Not yet, at least.]

Who knows, it could be both for all anyone knows. Actual things made out of shadows? What do you think?

[Give him a while to think about it]

I think that is cool. As long as they don't hurt anyone, they could have all the pets they want!

[There's a noticeable pause before the next response comes. Admitting that he thought it was cool caught her a bit off-guard and made her decide it might be best not to mess with him much further than just playing the part of a curious fellow student like this. That statement about pets also reminded her that she misses her cat, which is back home all the way over in Colorado.]

I'm sure we'd be hearing a lot more about it if they were actually hurting anybody. The faculty would be keeping an eye out and everything if that were the case, and the student would probably be in a lot of trouble once they were caught.

I guess that's true. But I still wonder why they're in the maze. That just makes it scary.
