⓪⑤ ; video ; What Is Yet To Come (and already here)

[docfoul]

[The doppelganger is gone, but the community has one last virus for Scratch:]

[Video A:]

[And that is exactly what you see. No more, no less.]

[Video B:]
[Tick... tock... The clock ticks on in a strangely - disturbingly, even - lifeless apartment. Tick... tock... No other sound can be heard.

Tick... Tock...



Scratch lies limply on the floor. Just a puppet.

Tick...

Tock.

The video cuts out so suddenly that you might very well miss the green glow forming around the doll's body.]

((I-I CAN STOP BOTHERING YOU ALL FOR A WHILE NOW. One important note: Scratch can only see video B. You are obviously free to comment on both, but he won't know what the fuck. And that is pretty funny to me.))

Hmm? Oh. There is no need, Yuri. That was a snapshot of my future.

[tenminutes]

Really?

[ Raises an eyebrow. ] Guess you'd be pretty mad if I hopped over there to help anyway.

[docfoul]

As a matter of fact, yes. I am aware my death is nearing and I am prepared not only to embrace it, but to contribute to it if necessary.

[tenminutes]

You'd better get to helping me take the community down pretty fast then, if you're going to die soon.

[ locked ]

[docfoul]

Don't worry. While it is true that I will die sooner than you would expect, it is also true that time on my world does not correspond to time everywhere else in the community.

[ locked ]

[tenminutes]

I guess so.

Either way, I'm sure you already know that I've got something to actually hate this place for now.

[ locked ]

[docfoul]

So do several other people. It is a shame that some individuals' propaganda might have turned them against me before we have the chance to help them.

Azula says you're planning to kill people. I'm not going to help if you've got things like that planned.

[ locked ]

[docfoul]

Azula, as usual, has no idea what she is talking about. I will not kill anyone.

[ locked ]

[tenminutes]

Is anyone going to die at all because of what you want to do? [ She knows you play word games by now ]

There had to be something that made her think that, right?

[ locked ]

[docfoul]

All I wish to do is summon my employer. He will only arrive after the death of the universe. The only reason she believes I am out to kill her friends is due to my insistence on keeping the alpha timeline stable.

Don't help him.

[tenminutes]

Why not?

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

He's untrustworthy. He works against people I like. He's likely even trying to kill them.

[tenminutes]

[ Okay, the killing part she didn't know. ]

I know he's not trustworthy, but what do you mean he's going to try to kill people?

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

He refuses to give me the details, obviously, but it's what he hints at. And he's done things to them in the past.

If he's dying you should just let it go.

[tenminutes]

He told me to let it go too. I don't know if I disagree with everything he says though.

Just a lot of it.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Why would you want to help him if you disagree with a lot of what he says?

[tenminutes]

I agree with some of it and I want to get that part done!

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

What is it?
