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

[shadowblends]

[ 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. .^.)

[ York appears in armor, which is good because otherwise they'd see how exhausted he is. How stressed and worn thin. He sounds tired, but only Kurt would recognize that. ]

How do you know? And does it only work on your own clone?

Kurt, you're okay? Your friend? [That is the first thing he has to ask. But then and only then can Carl's mind switch to other more serious things.]

How do you know that will work? You don't lose a memory of you share it, do you? [His questions are sort of directed toward them both.]

[warandpeace]

Are you alright?

[The question is mostly directed at Kurt. So far, Kaz hasn't so much had a shadow problem. Good for him.]

[Then a more earnest.]

Can you tell us anything else about what's happening? [He's escaped having a shadow person so far.] What are they?

video.

[athru]

I hope you're not getting any ideas.

[ Aimed at Kurt, of course. ]

Kurt, we're not the only ones who need to be careful.

[ He may not look angry, or even anything approaching upset, but he is thoroughly not thrilled. Between Raven making a point of telling him to say something and a history of this very conversation...it's deja vu at the very least. ]
