Fourteenth Bite | Video

[scarlet_devil]

[Emi appears on the network again in a video, with of course the usual bearing about her, but looking a bit concerned over recent entries on the Network this week. They had barely dealt with the trouble in Lapland and barely a week after they all get home, something else starts to kick off. She's seen the... other her's Network log, though. As soon as she can get a hold of the original, powered Numbered she can trust, she's going to tell them to get over to Germany and keep her doppelgänger safe.]

It appears there's copies of us running around now. Normally I would have thought this impossible, but there's nothing about us that isn't impossible, is there?

If nothing's done we will be getting more trouble from non-Numbered soon, given the way some of these copies, if they really are copies, are behaving. I don't have to tell everyone that they need to be stopped quickly, yes?

[ Marina looks back into the video, wearing a headband and, from what you can see of her upper body, some kind of bland, oversized sweater. Not really Marina-wear, that. ]

I could be more help if I could tell what kind of name everyone was trying to make for themselves. Heroes, tyrants... or just destroyers.

Do you plan on using the usual Emi response to these copies?

[Well, that gets a suspicious look from this vampire.] You can count me among the heroes... And the real Emilia at that.

I'll subdue them... I will only kill if it's necessary.

How admirable of you. I really doubt that the likes of Lily or Raye will be easy to apprehend, though, correct?

[ Suspicious? Nope just smiles here. ]

Yes, I have reached the same conclusion myself.

[scarlet_devil]

Good to see that someone has sense. The Lilys dress very differently for a start.

[solvethepuzzle]

[His face had admittedly coloured a bit when the post from Lily's double had come up -- he is a teenage boy, after all -- but he's not the type to remain distracted by that kind of thing for long.]

And the other you is quite fearful. The other me is evidently very talkative. [His hasn't shown up on the network thus far. Nathan can only imagine what he must be getting into.]

I question the wisdom of discussing this on the network. They have access, connect using our numbers. Even private locks would not be safe. Though I suppose arranging in-person meets would still carry risk of the double arriving for them.

[It just feels unsafe, discussing plans to deal with them right where they can see it. He does not like this.]

Sorry, I'm still on doctor's orders not to get involved in anything yet. I don't like it, but you're on your own for this one.

The last time, they didn't have powers. Do we know if that's still true? Um. Actually, wait, we know it's not true. Other-Lily used the Mirage to teleport. Damn.

Re: [video]

[scarlet_devil]

But you're healing up, right?

Well, it looks like this is not going to be easy. On the other hand, our enemies have a tendency to die.

[peacefulwinter]

I am, I just... once again, there's trouble, and I have to sit out. It doesn't get any less frustrating the more it happens.

And can we not- [Her voice is rising with something like panic, and she has to stop and calm herself down.] Can we not talk about murder so causally? I'm still not really comfortable with the other day... plus these aren't just random people. These things look like us. I'm not comfortable with killing my friends.

Announce your plans and intentions to where everyone, both these supposed "copies" and the originals can see.

How brilliant.

[The original? Doppelganger? Who knows.]

[scarlet_devil]

You assume I care what you have to say?

[purestambition]

Still ignoring valid points.

I don't know what else I expected.

Perhaps the copy would be an improvement, at this rate.

[Voice for the Doppoleganger] Real Dani will tag in later.

[prismaticdestruction]

[Since Dani at the moment was hiding out in her room being seriously quiet, it's not her...and the fact that she's seriously loud.]

Copies? I guess there are a lot...but you're acting a lot different then you usually are. Did the idea of something exciting bring you out of your shell?

[scarlet_devil]

[Well, that's weird.]

This is how I've always been, Dani.

[prismaticdestruction]

Nuh uh! You never are like this, so sure of everything. What happened?

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

[Well, Rakka looked as though she had been crying recently. She was on her bed at home, peering down at her laptop.]

So, there really are copies of everyone running around? How are we supposed to deal with that many doppelgangers?

Re: [Video]

[scarlet_devil]

Ah? You've been crying...

[Audio] Doppel

[dead_black_eyes]

Copies? That won't do. We should probably figure out what to do about that, shouldn't we?

Re: [Audio] Doppel

[scarlet_devil]

Isn't that your general thing?

[Voice/maybe Action?]

[prismaticdestruction]

[Since the real Dani is wandering about now because she's tired of coloring and reading in her room.]

Stop them how? They haven't done anything bad yet...right?

[scarlet_devil]

[Emi has decided to come over to Dani's room, since she is, after all, most definitely the real one...]

Hey. Dani? I want to be ready in case they do...

[Audio]

[lovesickkiller]

They killed someone. What are we going to do if even the police can't stop them?

[Audio]

[scarlet_devil]

Wait, I was preoccupied a couple of days... When did this happen? And with who?

[stefanged]

[He's sipping wine as he smiles innocently at her. For one thing, Stefan doesn't drink - and for another, he usually doesn't make these video posts either.]

Aw, but they've been so much fun to watch. Better than anything on television, if you ask me.

Re: video;

[scarlet_devil]

[Wait, what?]

Since when do you drink wine?
