007 .. if you met yourself, would you like yourself? [video]

[amagicalmystery]

[there's a few screams and shouts over the feed, and a sound like someone is practically overturning the furniture. after a few minutes of this, the noise settles but there's still the sound of panting. then the video turns on to Facilier's panicked face]

All right, screw the memory loss, anyone else's room haunted[some fumbling with the journal

Perhaps all of the shadows in our rooms are ghosts

[amagicalmystery]

None of the other ones are moving on their own, just this one.

...it's tryin' to TELL me something, but hell if I know what, it don't-

[cough]

It doesn't talk.

Fuck, I can't remember anything.

[mediocre_saint]

I'm almost too frightened to examine my shadows!

Is it still moving?

[amagicalmystery]

It calmed down a little, now it's-

[staring at it]

It's pointing to...hold on.

[setting the journal down, it picks up what the shadow is pointing to - a hat - and sets it on his head. Shadow does the exact same, at the same time, and then turns to Facilier with its hands on its hips - a move Facilier definitely didn't make himself]

...shit.

[future_games]

That's...kind of more discontenting than not remembering anything.

[amagicalmystery]

Haven't even had time to figure that part out, not with all of this goin' on.

I...I think it's my...but that ain't possible.

Does it write?

[amagicalmystery]

[he is leery of you thanks to the magic of first impressions, yay!

speaking slower, trying to smooth the accent down]

It...maybe, I haven't seen it handle an object. Made me get the hat myself, to show-

[Shadow is one step ahead of him, though, and the pen now seems to be floating through Shadow holding its shadow]

Huh.

[Video]

[darknessb4me]

If you'll pardon me...maybe it knows who we are. Don't you think it's odd that not a single person has woken up without something strange in their room?

[He taps the camera.]

What do you call yourself, ghost?

[Video]

[amagicalmystery]

[Shadow looks just as wary, and a little offended by 'ghost' from someone who looks three times dead, and then it's scrawling shakily on the paper like a five year old writing with the wrong hand]

SHADO

[athames]

...Holy fucking shit. That is either a real good prank, or- No. It has to be a prank because stuff like that is for schmaltzy sci-fi shows.

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

I'd love to think so. Seems like I'm one in a million varieties of crazy shit right now, though.

[voice]

[athames]

Variety being the spice of life. [Snort.] My ass.

So is... Whatever the hell that is trying to kill you or any other cliche crap like that?

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

Once we both calmed down it started tryin' to play charades. But I don't think it remembers any more than I do.

...it's a shadow, though. It's my shadow.

[amagicalmystery]

It's worth a shot, but it seems to communicate pretty decent on its own. I get the feeling it's clueless as I am, but I'm...not sure how I know that.

I found a deck of Tarot cards and enough candles for a damn beehive. Newest benign theory is half of us are here for some kind of woo-woo psychic fair.

[amagicalmystery]

Yeah, well, me dressing like the next case of Hollywood mumbo jumbo seems like an inappropriate state of being, but there you go.
