53 || [Arcade Video / Action] - Open to ANYONE and EVERYONE

[timisnotme]

*Tim is in one of the tea rooms. Well it was a tea room. It is now FLYNN'S ARCADE. It is game for game exactly like how the arcade looked. He's playing Defender right now and struggling to beat whatever high score the mansion arbitrarily set.

Which is like this for those not in the know.

After another crippling defeat he looks over at his comm.*

[ So, to recap:

1) Tim, in
2) Flynn's arcade, in
3) a setting that had already gone way past weird and into astonishing.

This Tim is actually wondering if this is something he recorded and forgot, because that would make more sense than there being two of him what what what. ]

Wait... what?

<3

[timisnotme]

*You'll have to speak up other Tim. This version is going to beat this high score if it's the last thing he does.*

<3

[unwantedface]

[ This narration read that as "sneak up on other Tim" and... well, it was a wonderful mental image. ]

Hey.

[ ...no, speaking up is not the same as saying something quietly. Sheesh, Tim. ]

Hey! [ It's loud, but it's not aggressive, just - hella bewildered. ]

[timisnotme]

*Goddamnit, you made him lose! Have a pissed off Tim whirling around and coming face to face with.. well.... *

The fuck?

[unwantedface]

Uh...

[ Well. Pre-recorded video doesn't traditionally react to you like that.

Don't mind Tim if he prods his own face to make sure the horrible thing is still there and not, say, attached to the person on the screen. ]

This is... what the hell?

[timisnotme]

Dude. What the fuck?

*Getting really close to the screen now.*

Who the hell are you?

[unwantedface]

Tim--

[ WITH FEELING. gtfo, angry guy who looks exactly like him. >:I ]

--Who the hell are you?

[timisnotme]

....... Tim.

I uh.. didn't think I had a mirror self.

[unwantedface]

What, you mean a clone double... thing?

Yeah, I kinda never saw that coming either. [ And then he was awarded the understatement prize. ]

[timisnotme]

Yeaaaaah. Me either. In a strange way I wanna challenge you to a game of Rampage.

But this is.... a whole lot of weird. Like... even more than usual.

[unwantedface]

Heh. [ It's that uneasy noise that happens when the situation is just so strange that you almost have to laugh at it. ] Yeah, weird is... pretty routine.

[ Below the screen, his fingers twine together, because he's realised that if they're the same person then the other Tim knows all about... everything. A queasy sensation of guilt enters his stomach, and he wonders if otherTim feels the same. ]

Did you just - find yourself here, as well?

[timisnotme]

Yeah.

*This guy seems like him which means he's probably not a mirror. So there's what, two Tims, two masked psychos AND the crazed baker?*

Yeah. About a year ago. With... uh... Alex. And J.

[unwantedface]

[ If this is blowing Tim's mind, Mirror Masky would cause it to go supernova and burn its way right out of his skull.

You know what, amidst all the madness here's something everyday and graspable he can worry about. ]

They - they're here too?

[ And there's that faint internal chill, the interest that he doesn't think originates with him. ]

[timisnotme]

Yeah. They're here too. Dunno where. They uh.. don't talk to me much.

*faint smile* I think we both know why.
