Military Log - 009
[From within Maes's room there is a loud shout followed by the sounds of a struggle. Cambot whizzes down the hall, keen to find out what's going on. Just before he enters he hears someone, Maes, shout]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU BASTARD!
[Well that doesn't sound much like Maes. The door opens for Cambot and he flies in, only to find Maes has...himself pinned down? Well, it looks SORT of like Maes. Except he is completely black and grey. The colorful version of Maes sits on top of him, having pinned him to the ground and has a knife at his throat. Cambot seems alarmed by this and Maes doesn't seem to be aware of the camera's presence, too focused on this shadowy version of himself]
I don't know who you are or why you're trying to look like me, monster, but I'll make sure I kill you this time for what you took from me.
[The shadowy figure whispers something that Cambot can't seem to pick up, but judging by the way Maes's face pales it seems to do the trick]
No...no you're not ME. That's insane. You're that shape shifting monster that---
[The shadowy figure's lips move again and it sneers. Maes decides he's had enough and punches it in the face, knocking it unconscious. At least he didn't kill it, but that's mostly because he wants to know what the hell is going on. He looks up to see Cambot lurking in the doorway and Maes pales a little. How much had Cambot seen? He sighs and runs a hand through his hair, getting off of the shadowy figure]
Sorry, you had to see that. I think this is the monster that tried to---[he trails off as he starts to realize that the coloring is all wrong on his doppleganger.] Wait a minute, the shape shifter from before...he got Lt. Ross's mole wrong but he wasn't THIS far off. Why would he take my shape anyway? It wouldn't do any good to appear as me. For that matter how would he have even known I was here if he had just arrived himself?
[Maes stoops down to study the figure, his frown is prominent.]
Does that mean he really is me?

[Pause] I see. Well I guess that reassures me a little, though I still feel bad for letting that be seen. [He runs his hand through his hair] It was a little extreme, but, well, the experience was fairly recent.
Not exactly, Riku, but close.
Don't know if I have the right to ask. But considering your reaction... [He looks up, concerned.] What did that shape-shifter take from you? It was family, wasn't it?
no subject
[He doesn't want to answer that. He really doesn't. But he's vulnerable right now and Riku is right, the reaction he had was more extreme than should have been warranted]
I discovered something back home, something I wasn't supposed to know about. I was trying to tell my best friend about it since I figured if anyone could stop it he was the country's best bet. The shape-shifter stopped me before I could finish my call to him. But...I didn't lose my family that night, they lost me.

[Riku listens, his eyes slowly growing wider. He looks away, his eyes moving subtly as he processes this. Slowly he looks back.] I haven't met a ghost yet. Or an angel. And I don't think you're either.
I think we need to start a list of people we need to make sure are safe when they get back.
no subject
[He's quiet, not sure what to say to that. He's not sure what all a kid can do, but, then again, he's been around the Elrics. He should know better than anyone what a kid can do]
Maybe we should worry about this doppleganger stuff first before we get ahead of ourselves.
no subject
[He catches that pause, though he doesn't respond to it.]
For right now, yeah.
no subject
Feel free. But don't be surprised if I ask you a few things about your own past. [pause] I'm a curious sort that way.
