[action] / [BBS] postdated after the Skulker encounter

[ACTION]



[This isn't right. Danny stands in his room, door still ajar in his confusion, staring at the picture that has mysteriously found its way to his bed.

This isn't right.

It's Danny in the photo alright, but he is surrounded by people he has never seen--aside from Jazz. But there is also a dark-haired girl, a dark-skinned boy, and two adults standing by him. In the background, a building Danny's never seen. He doesn't know this place, he doesn't know these people.

His hands have started to shake.]

[BBS (video)]



[Danny's face pops up on the feed, looking weary, tired, and a little fearful.]

H...has anyone else gotten something like this? [He holds up the photo.] Like...something you don't remember? This just showed up in my room earlier today, and I don't... [he has to pause to swallow, nervous. Maybe doing a video feed wasn't such a good idea.] I don't know what it is, or where it came from, just that that's--I never was there.

((OOC: Because I want to do everything at once. Regarding the Skulker encounter, it is still being logged out, but other characters involved can assume that once it is over they have received minor injury at worst.))

[It takes him a while to type up this next response.]

Maybe.

Maybe this photo is who I was supposed to be, but it just didn't work out.

:33 < talking about who youre suppose to be
:33 < sounds a bit too similar to talk about fate
:33 < i know your circumstance is diffurent
:33 < but i f33l that sort of thinking
:33 < doesnt really lead anywhere
:33 < who youre suppose to be isnt decided by some greater force
:33 < or some creator
:33 < just you

[gogoghostpowers]

You think so?

But then what's the photo supposed to be? Another me? Why is there even another me in the first place?

[misspouncellor]

:33 < most definitely!
:33 < you are who you want to be
:33 < and who you are is one thing that no one
:33 < can ever ever take away furrom you
:33 < i think it purrobably is another you
:33 < and i cant say why there are more
:33 < but it just s33ms to be how things work you know?
:33 < ive s33n several of one purrson in my time here
:33 < its kinda weird and a little unnerving at times
:33 < since sometimes they can be so diffurent furrom what you expect
:33 < but ive kinda just accepted thats how things work
:33 < and that each should be treated as his or her own purrson

hahaha WOW now all my copy-pasted icons look ridiculous WHOOPS

[gogoghostpowers]

Like...totally separate people? Who aren't related at all?

xD

[misspouncellor]

:33 < considering i had one furriend
:33 < who had someone like him pop up here
:33 < who was purrty much the complete opawsite of what he was like
:33 < id say yea
:33 < maybe you share some things in common
:33 < but it would be just like any other purrson you have similarities to
:33 < yea they are there
:33 < yea sometimes it might uncannily similar
:33 < but each has their own
:33 < soul i guess you could say. spirit. essence. self.
:33 < whatever you prefur to call it
:33 < and thats what makes each purrson themselves
:33 < and thats what can never be emulated

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah! I like that. I think I really like that idea.

Thanks, Nepeta.

[misspouncellor]

:33 < anytime danny!
:33 < im glad i could be of help

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah. I'm glad I have a friend like you!

[NOT AWARE THAT HE HAS A FIRST CLASS TICKET ON THE SAP TRAIN RIGHT NOW...]

[misspouncellor]

[Baw, Danny. Make her wibble why don't you]

:33 < that makes me happy to hear
:33 < the f33ling is most definitely mutual

[gogoghostpowers]

[at this point he doesn't know how to respond but he is pretty much going to have the widest grin ever plastered on his face for the rest of the day.

Maybe the rest of the week.]
