❧ 003 ❧ Video from laptop camera

[dominateartimus]

[The video starts with a rather empty wall of an apartment with a light source directed at it and a piece of furniture in the corner of the frame. A few seconds pass without anything going on, except for a black streak of fur chasing after a ball toy. Off-screen, Xander's voice is heard and he sounds rather calm for the most part.]

I noticed that a lot of people were sharing what they got from the lights.

[He walks in to frame and is seen wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt and jeans, but he's not facing the camera. He's intentionally keeping his back to the recording to lower the chances of people identifying him. He makes his way over to the wall.]

...You could say I was reluctant to share, but, I was busy learning how to control it better.

[With that said, he brings a hand up to it and starts to merge with his own shadow against the wall. It takes a few moments before he's a silhouette against the wall, but he's facing the camera now -- not like it was very noticeable.]

I can also take the form of someone else's shadow and not just my own. I don't have anyone else here to demonstrate that, so, you'll have to take my word for it.

[He starts to move up to the ceiling, disappearing from the frame. A few moments later, a bit of a thump is heard from behind the camera and the video ends.]

Comments

[dominateartimus]

Yeah, I'll get right on it.

[selfassured]

Or you could put it off.

Wait until someone accidentally turns a spotlight on or something.

[dominateartimus]

I don't think so. I can't let a slip up ruin it for everyone else.

[selfassured]

One little slip up wouldn't be the end of the world.

Good luck either way though.

[dominateartimus]

You don't know that.

Thanks.

[selfassured]

I do know that. At least within a public place.

[dominateartimus]

You were quite lucky then.

[selfassured]

Lucky. Stupid. Whatever.

Point is, at the moment you can get away with a slip up.

[dominateartimus]

Unless the cops see you.

[selfassured]

The cops aren't as observant as they'd like us to believe.

[dominateartimus]

Still, I'm not going to risk it.

[selfassured]

That's up to you. All i'm saying is that, right now, you can relax a little.

[dominateartimus]

Kind of hard to do with the buzzing noise and signs of a potential threat in the future.

[selfassured]

The buzzing noise, i'll give you. The potential threat? Still sceptical on this alien idea everyone keeps throwing around.

[dominateartimus]

Yet you're willing to believe some of the abilities that have been demonstrated on the network opposed to an alien attack?

[selfassured]

Yes. And you've just outlined my reasoning for believing one and not the other.
