Entry #B-3: "Beg" [Audio, Backdated to the 14th]

[dead_black_eyes]

Regrettably, I'm late to this mess, but where my own double is concerned, it's my hope that I can be of some assistance regarding notable differences in manner and bearing we possess.

I have not personally met or viewed him, but it's my understanding that he dresses like a tourist, eats a lot of bacon, and hangs around Neuschwanstein propositioning passerby indiscriminately.

I really hope I don't need to explain why this makes him, obviously, very unlike me. If there's still some confusion for any reason, he's probably not been recently bashed in the head, so use evidence of that to check for the genuine article.

I am the real Lazarus Lawliet. Not every double is as cartoonishly opposite to the original as mine, so I've taken measures to protect myself for the time being. If you need to meet with me, we can probably work out a way for you to prove that you're not going to try to murder me. If that is your intention, stay the hell away.

ARNOLD NO

[bythewaves]

Oh, well, I always did wonder what it would be like to have a brother.

[ Arnold shrugs cheerfully ] I do not mind, if he does not.

[dead_black_eyes]

So... I'm almost afraid to ask, but what does your wife think?

[bythewaves]

[ ......... ]

Ehehehe I er. Have not told her yet.

[dead_black_eyes]

You should get on that. The longer you wait, the worse it'll be.

Every kid who's ever gotten in trouble does know this.

[bythewaves]

Yeah I know. [ Arnold ducks his head sheepishly ]

We're just ... trying to work out the best way to tell her. I might just call tonight, I guess...

[dead_black_eyes]

"We?"

So your double is helping you come up with a way to share the news.

[bythewaves]

"Yeah. We figured... both of us should say something. Lisa will want to talk to me, mostly. But it's only fair she meets us both."

[dead_black_eyes]

Do you think she'll deal well with it? Her husband has doubled himself. What if your double has or develops feelings for her?

[bythewaves]

"He does. Have feelings I mean. He... he's me, after all. But... well I think it's one of the reasons he's so depressed right now. He knows... he has not hold on her. So... she needs to hear it from him. I don't know how she'll react."
