✷ 006 | video (shadow plot, backdated to February 7th)

[cawky]

[The feed opens in the hallway of, what appears to be, kidhaus. The only thing on the feed is a shadow on the wall with glowing, soulless red eyes. A trained eye might be able to spot Davesprite's outline, wings right down to the tail.

The feed runs on dead air for a few seconds before the shadow appears to peel from the wall to grasp at the communicator in order to type the following.]

hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey
hey

[The string of text continues into the communicator until a response is given. The shadow's expression grows increasingly desperate, its image occasionally glitching out on the wall into nothingness. When it reappears, he picks up the dropped communicator and continues.]

[ooc: witch thread is here for people who want to do the battle thing. :Db]

Dave?

private!!

[cawky]

[The shadow blinks owlishly, appearing to perk up excitedly when someone answers him.

But then her comment seems to register and his wings droop.]

no
davesprite

private!!

[culver]

[she corrects herself, even if she normally might not:]

Davesprite.
You changed.

private!!

[cawky]

[He continues to blink, wings still drooping before he slinks to the floor.]

i didnt
im davesprite
not dave
dave is the alpha
im just a copy of him
but i am still davesprite
even if he doesnt think so

[The sprite peers close to the camera, its eye lighting up most of the screen.]

private!!

[culver]

[she's still not feeling that great about herself, is still trying to adjust what she'd gone through.]

Yes you are a different person. Not just a copy.

private!!

[cawky]

thats just it
we are a copy
a doomed copy
theres thousands of us
we just lived longer than the others

private!!

[culver]

But you still live.

private!!

[cawky]

it wouldnt matter if we died
even if i dont really want to

private!!

[culver]

It would matter.

private!!

[cawky]

it wouldnt
we wont live past the lifespan of the incipisphere
we are only alive because of it
if you want to call it being alive idk
its a lot of game building bullshit that we dont really understand
its just apart of us

private!!

[culver]

Is the incipisphere here?

private!!

[cawky]

why does that matter

private!!

[culver]

If it is not here then it cannot die and you will not.

private!!

[cawky]

but we will
thats what we are made for
so the alpha doesnt have to

private!!

[culver]

You do not have to die here.

private!!

[cawky]

how do you know about what i have to do

private!!

[culver]

You just said it.

private!!

[cawky]

i might have to die here
in fact i can probably guarantee it

private!!

[culver]

Why?

private!!

[cawky]

because its just what i am made to do
i dont know what else i could possibly be good for
im a terrible selfish person
my jokes arent funny
im super uncool

private!!

[culver]

Your jokes are funny sometimes.
And you are a pretty good friend.

private!!

[cawky]

no
im not
you dont have to try and make me feel better
i was terrible to you

private!!

[culver]

I know.
But I got over it.

private!!

[cawky]

that doesnt make it ok
or make me a good friend

private!!

[culver]

No. Other things make you a good friend.
