#039 // when it gets through to me it's always new to me

[distant_dragon]

I would advise anyone who encounters me to be very wary. I don't trust this duplicate of myself.

I know there have been a few violent encounters thus far; would anyone care to give me a tally?

I do not get paid enough for this.

Calling them "duplicates" is rather misleading, as that would imply they would act like their originals. A "variant" would be a more accurate term.

It's been awhile, Drake. How have you been?

[distant_dragon]

...Aurora?? My god, I was wondering if you fell out of the tree. I'm well enough, I suppose, chaos notwithstanding. You?

'Variant' is probably better, yes. I prefer 'something I want to stay the hell away from'.

[earth_uninstall]

I'm starting to get used to that reaction to my 'return.' I have been better.

The pattern of variants being violent like yours is too strong; it would be safe to assume that they're all aggressive. Something needs to be done about yours and Gungnir's.

[distant_dragon]

That's what happens when you go incommunicado for a while.

I'm trying to figure out WHAT to do, is the problem. If these ones are stronger and more aggressive than we are then there is a problem. A fairly large one, at that.

[sauntersthrough]

I know of one for certain, and there's someone I'm pretty suspicious of.

[distant_dragon]

I so far know of four five for certain. Suspicions? Names?

Lezard has a double who's attacked at least one person. I think Fenrir has a double as well.

[distant_dragon]

We're at six bare minimum now. This will get ugly, I'm sure.

[extantlaw]

I have no idea if you are keeping a record, but I believe that Blood has a doppelganger somewhere. I have not encountered yours personally, but Lezard is correct about the reports that are being made at the clinic from the injured.

[distant_dragon]

Seven so far. What precisely are the people at the clinic saying, do you know? Is it enough to identify the culprit as 'me', so to speak?

[extantlaw]

Yourself and Truth are the only people I know of with black hair that appears to defy gravity on a regular basis.

Since I am not aware that my housemate can either breathe fire or handle a sword, I think the evidence points in the direction of yourself.

[distant_dragon]

Well fuck.

If you can get a description of the 'weird eyes' I would appreciate it. This is mostly for my own benefit.

And get the HELL out of the way if you see this guy coming.

[subject_e0057]

...I'll keep my eye out for him. It seems like there are quite a few doubles that re.. well.. dangerous.

[distant_dragon]

I'd say so.

Where are you?

[subject_e0057]

..I'm still at home. I haven't had work today.

[distant_dragon]

I'd feel better if you either stayed there or came here. I already retrieved Sky and I'm tempted to kidnap FM too...this is really disturbing me.
