007 .. if you met yourself, would you like yourself? [video]

[amagicalmystery]

[there's a few screams and shouts over the feed, and a sound like someone is practically overturning the furniture. after a few minutes of this, the noise settles but there's still the sound of panting. then the video turns on to Facilier's panicked face]

All right, screw the memory loss, anyone else's room haunted[some fumbling with the journal

...Holy fucking shit. That is either a real good prank, or- No. It has to be a prank because stuff like that is for schmaltzy sci-fi shows.

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

I'd love to think so. Seems like I'm one in a million varieties of crazy shit right now, though.

[voice]

[athames]

Variety being the spice of life. [Snort.] My ass.

So is... Whatever the hell that is trying to kill you or any other cliche crap like that?

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

Once we both calmed down it started tryin' to play charades. But I don't think it remembers any more than I do.

...it's a shadow, though. It's my shadow.

[voice]

[athames]

So it's a freaky shadow thing that knows Gestures. ...You must be very popular at parties.

Man, nobody's shadow does that.

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

That's probably where I go to work. Parties, I mean.

[sigh] Yes, I know that. Question is whether it did it before the cruise, I guess.

[voice]

[athames]

[A minute as he checks the original video, then he's back with just the slightest bit of sarcasm.] Well, that would explain the getup you're wearing.

Call me crazy but. Pretty sure the question of "what the hell happened before now" applies to everybody and everything else.

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

Don't mock me, I ain't any happier 'bout it than you!

...Sorry. I'm. It's the stress, I guess.

Something in me really does not like bein' a psychic friend or a children's party clown.

[voice]

[athames]

Hey, just relax, all right. Probably anyone would be freaked out waking up to the baggage you did.

And I really doubt anybody would be thrilled at either of those prospects.

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

Just feels wrong. Like what I know so far is real, but there's more to what I'm seein' and I can't get at it.

[sigh] Well, enough whinin'. Business card says I'm 'Facilier', if that's even a real name. Probably a stage handle, I think I know some French and it sounds...wrong.

Pleased to make your confused acquaintance.

[voice]

[athames]

Think that sort of goes hand in hand with the amnesia package, but hey. What do I know. ...Unless I'm actually an expert on this crap when I remember it. .....Nah.

Nice to meet you too, Facilier. I'd offer you a name in return but. Maybe I should pick one just for the interim just to avoid confusion of being "that guy" on a whole fucking boat of "those guys".

[voice]

[amagicalmystery]

Nothin' would surprise me, at this point.

Hm. Got anything about you that stands out? We could piece an alias together.

[voice]

[athames]

Seriously. All we need are the flying pigs.

Some nice tailored suits, but that's i- ...Well, I have a business card but. I'm pretty sure it's not mine. Somehow I don't strike myself as the lawyer type.
