❧ 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.]

I'll try to. But, I doubt we'll run in to that issue.

[metalbent]

Probably not. No one seems to talk about that stuff, so I assume I'm on a crazy island all my own.

[dominateartimus]

Unless they are on the network and I know that feeling all too well.

[metalbent]

We should totally make our own club. You know, since all these other people remember one another, we can form a club of cool people who don't.

[dominateartimus]

I don't think that would be a good idea, sorry.

[metalbent]

Party pooper.

[dominateartimus]

There's a likely chance that someone would would get jealous and cause a petty dispute about the whole thing.

[metalbent]

Well, yeah. We don't really have the most mature bunch of people here, I guess.

[dominateartimus]

I believe it and I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of them were in denial about it as well.

[metalbent]

About the maturity or about this whole thing being real?

[dominateartimus]

Both. I was in denial about this originally and I didn't react quite well to it either.

[metalbent]

Yeah, I spent a bit the other day trying to convince someone but gave it up after I got bored.

It's sort of a whenever-you-come-to-terms-with-it thing.

[dominateartimus]

It is.

[metalbent]

Anyways, I'll talk to you later. Unless you had other stuff?

[ she's pretty sure he's the guy who started to feel awkward after a while, and weirdly doesn't feel like pressing it past awkwardness.

well, he did get her a drink refill. ]

[dominateartimus]

Yes, I do. Good bye.
