❧ 005 [video] (forward dated to july 18th)

[ Tired of shadow people going stabbitty on your loved ones and ruining your family dinners? Then listen up, because here's a psa from your friendly neighborhood blue-toned mutant and a cute boy who's never had parents (don't tell him that): Kurt Wagner and Matthew Lynch!

They appear close together in front of the camera, leaning forward earnestly, and both of them start talking at once. ]


Everyone--
Hey, guys--

[ They didn't practice this in advance, it was more important to get the message out as soon as possible. Matthew looks at Kurt, nods, then back to the camera. ]

We know how to stop them. All those clone-- people. You can get rid of them if you make, like, a sacrifice.

Exactly, ja. There seems to be multiple ways of doing this, whether you decide to forgive someone who has wronged you in the past, disclose something personal, admit to feelings for someone, allow yourself acceptance and closure of people you've loved and-or lost, or facing the one thing that you fear most. Then, and only then will you be able to defeat the shadow being. [Pause.] Or reason with them, at the very least.

Right, yeah. All of that. Or, they said you can give up a memory about one of those things and that'll do the trick, too.

[ Who said what exactly? Matthew doesn't think to explain where this information came from. ]

So, that's all you have to do, and then everything can go back to normal. [ He looks to Kurt again for confirmation. ] I think.

[There's a brisk nod from the teleporter, a brief glance from his peripheral at Matthew then back toward the screen, apprehension clear on his face.] I'm sure I speak for the both of us when I say this, but ... be careful.

[Kurt exchanges a final look with the dream boy before ending the feed.]


(ooc: replies will mostly be handled like a three person conversation! if you prefer having a conversation with only one of the boys, simply state in your response so we know. .^.)

They might show up late. That's what mine did.

[ Matthew is the furthest thing from a pessimist, he's just trying to be helpful. His own shadow may be fine, but he's seen others that have been horrible. He doesn't want even a stranger to be taken by surprise by a mean one. ]

Did it attack anyone?

[He wonders what possibly could happen with his own. He doesn't want to ruin whatever peace he's managed to scrounge.]

Mine didn't. He ate some peaches and pet my dog.

[ He doesn't know why his own shadow turned out to be so docile, and to be honest he's not concerned about it either. Why bother worrying about a blessing? ]

And then told me about the sacrifice thing. I think-- [ he brings his TAB closer so he can lower his voice ] --he's scared of the other ones.

[Well, it could be a hell of a lot worse. That's for sure. He'd prefer his shadow be more interested in petting his dog.]

With good reason. [Some of them are horrifyingly dangerous.]

How is he different from you?

[ Matthew presses his lips together and nods his agreement. He's had just enough experience with his brothers' shadows to have an idea how dangerous they can be. ]

Different? Mm, well, there's his eyes. They're black, mine aren't.

[ All the shadows have that in common, so it's probably not the kind of answer Kaz was looking for, but Matthew isn't the brightest. He tips his head, pondering. ]

And he's real jittery. But I guess that's 'cause of the other shadows, like we said. Or I guess-- [ a worried wrinkle appears in his forehead ] --it could be 'cause of the demon.

And that's it?

Glad you didn't end up with anything worse- sounds like he was even helpful, but you gotta admit that you lucked out.
