Impostors?

Run this by me again:

You HAVE been here but it was NOT you?

[karappo]

that is correct
they performed some sort of magic on themselves that allowed them to be able to impersonate each of us exactly
they were able to glean our memories and use them to become us

[manuscripture]

How long did this go on for?

[karappo]

all of last week, from what I have been able to tell

[The days blurred together so much it felt like much longer.]

[manuscripture]

But YOU are okay, yes?

[karappo]

[ABOUT...THAT...]

im very exhausted
but i will be

[He's not okay, not at all, actually. But for the sake of existing he'll get over it eventually.]

[manuscripture]

That is a vague and unacceptable answer, Matsuno.

[karappo]

[Yeah, let's...try that again.]

truthfully I am not doing all that well currently

[It's like acid on his tongue, admitting that.]

but i will be fine eventually
i have to be

[manuscripture]

Do you need me to look at you again?

[ HE'S GONNA HIGH-KEY WIG ABOUT LORNA BEHIND THE COMPUTER BUT IT'S F I N E ]

[karappo]

[IF THERE'S ANYTHING WORTHY WIGGING ABOUT IT'S POOR DAMN LORNA, GOOD LORD.]

im not sure you would want to kishibe-san
i am but a ghost of my former self

[Maybe he's being dramatic for the sake of desperately trying to lighten this mood, who knows.]

[manuscripture]

[ IT'S OKAY HE IS ONE VERY CONCERNED MOM ]

That sounds dramatic.

[karappo]

oh, believe me, it is
i did not even believe such monsters existed in this world until running across those
those horrid body snatchers


well i did not exactly see them much since our faces were covered but i can assure you it was terrible

[...]

you did warn me about this sort of thing
i am sorry now i did not listen

[manuscripture]

You haven't listened to a lot of things I have warned you about, you know.

It's called casual karma.

[karappo]

forgive me if i was not anticipating being attacked on the way home from work
i may have deserved that, but lorna did not

[manuscripture]

What happened to Lorna?

Did they hurt her too?

[ keep yOUR COOL, ROHAN. ]

[karappo]

[Well he has no energy whatsoever to sugar coat this, so hold onto your non-existent pants, Rohan.]

yes
they were not easy on any of the victims
if nothing else i am at least glad i was there so she was not alone

[manuscripture]

[ funny joke ]

I need to go.

[karappo]

[He figured.]

okay
i will keep you informed of my condition if i do not return within a week or so
