"To give a partial answer to the question of just what shadows do in their spare time, I've managed to at least see majority of the weaker ones simply milling about. Communication with others is rather scarce with the only time they really ever group together for is when they have to do something essential to their survival. Otherwise, low level shadows like these just act like the regular couch potato…just with less couch and less potato. Stronger shadows however, much like the ones you'll find on the third stratums, and on the hardier areas of the second stratum, have the ability to at least think of more than just attaching itself to the nearest thing possible that counts as food. Thankfully though, strategic and tactical thinking still seems to be way over their heads. Fourth and fifth stratums? I'd recommend at least getting a good partner before exploring there unless you know fully well how to handle yourself. That said, this is just me going off on my own experiences from hunting these guys in the past few months."
Goddamn that was a mouthful. Vice wasn't exactly the most talkative of people but with how things were, it wasn't like he could just stop talking in order to preserve the usual state of things. Hell, they were fighting abominations just then and pretty much any semblance of reality's been distorted well enough that the past him would have just made fun of this. It was also comforting to know that the two at least had a good enough mind set to carry food and water with them. Honestly, experiencing getting trapped in the building with shadows stronger than you milling about and actively looking for food wasn't exactly the most comfortable situation to be in.
"If you guys thought that that level of power was astounding than you'll be surprised what some of the Stratum Shadows on the higher floors are capable of. Never ever be satisfied with your current prowess. Become strong enough to be able to protect not only yourself but the backs of your teammates as well." It was at that point that Vice's tone began to sharpen into a more malignant edge, memories of that battle slowly replaying in his mind, but it was over in a moment. "Anyway, like I said before, all the actions and methods you would want to do is up to the two of you. If you want to hang back a bit around here to study some of the stuff you just found out along with the pamphlets, or to go on ahead to test your mettle against numerous opponents, or whatever is up to you."
